• Resumen

  • Grossman talks about meteorites. Once they land on Earth, meteorites change status from threat to scientific bounty. They are in-hand samples of the original building blocks of the planets. A meteorite that was tracked until it landed in Sudan in 2008 turned out to be from an asteroid that had partly melted, like a planet. Now scientists will be eager to get results from the Russian meteorite, to see what secrets of the solar system it may reveal.
