Don't know exactly what a meteorite is, what they are made of or where
they come from? If that's the case, we have provided a mini-"crash" course

not only into the origins of our solar system and planet Earth, but what
the future might hold for mankind.
There's a lot going on in the study of meteorites, both here at NASA
and in other places. Here are a few links to the people and institutions
who are leading the research in this field.
