Fireballs in the sky: how meteorites shaped our planet

This lecture describes the wonder of meteorites – where they come from, what happens when they land (often with a bang!) and how they can help answer the biggest questions in science including the origins of life on Earth, and chances of finding life on other planets. The focus will be on carbonaceous chondrites, which come from asteroids that were born in the cold and dark outer reaches of the solar system. It has been an exciting time to study them – a carbonaceous chondrite landed in Gloucestershire in 2021, and two carbonaceous chondrite asteroids have recently been visited by space missions. Some of the fascinating results from research on these samples will be described.
