The authors trace the formation and breakup of the planets,
asteroids, and comets where meteorites originated, their long
journey through space, their fall to Earth, their recovery, and
what scientists are learning from them. The book contains a great
deal of material about the “84001 Martian meteorite,” which has
raised provocative new questions about life on the red planet.
Looking forward, the authors chart the exciting new era of
planetary, asteroidal, and cometary exploration planned for this
century.
