We care for thousands of meteorites at the Natural History Museum, discovered across the world from Africa to Antarctica. They may look dull from the outside, but they are natural space probes, allowing scientists to discover the secrets of the birth and evolution of the solar system. They can give us a glimpse billions of years into the past, or even help reveal how the Moon was formed.
Join us to discover what secrets theses treasures from space hold and how Museum scientists are trying to uncover them
