Meteorites are remarkable stones from outer space, originating from comets, the asteroid belt, and even other planets. These celestial travelers survive the fiery plunge through Earth’s atmosphere, arriving on our planet as tangible pieces of the cosmos. Each meteorite is unique, displaying a wide variety of colors, textures, and compositions, telling a story of its interstellar journey.
Meteorites are categorized into three main types:
-
Irons – dense and metallic, composed mainly of iron and nickel, often showing intricate crystalline patterns.
-
Chondrites – stony meteorites that contain small spherical inclusions called chondrules, remnants of the early solar system.
-
Achondrites – rare stony-iron meteorites, featuring stone fragments and sometimes stunning olivine crystals embedded in a nickel-iron matrix.
Highly prized by collectors, scientists, and space enthusiasts, meteorites offer a direct connection to the universe, making them both scientifically invaluable and visually captivating.
