Meteorites and the Evolution of Planets
7555 Draper Avenue, San Diego, 92037
Cost: Free
We can learn a lot about Earth by studying meteorites, which come from other planets, asteroids, and other planet-like bodies. Many of these "space rocks" are ancient and capture unique stages in planetary evolution, like core-formation. They also provide insight into important scientific questions, like understanding how and why the Earth has so much water.
