Meteorites, the Moon and Mars
Abstract
Study of meteorites reveals valuable information about the origins of the solar system and the formation of the planets. Meteorites that come from Mars yield insights to the geological evolution of the planet. Other, primitive, meteorites contain interstellar grains that track the stellar neighbourhood in which our star, the Sun, was born.
