Get Excited for Space Rocks!

This is a Zoomed in Thin Section of a Martian Meteorite! 

Have you ever wanted to know more about the stuff floating beyond our Earth? Giving us valuable insight into the formation and evolution of our solar system, meteorites provide some of the only samples we have of other worlds!
The study of meteorites has helped us understand the beginnings of our solar system, how planets and asteroids formed, and how impacts of large meteorites have altered Earth's history and life on our planet.
The Stellar Stones workshop, we plan on hosting, teaches students about all manner of meteor related facts. How big can shooting stars become? What are the three major kinds of meteorites? How fast can meteorite be when they hit the atmosphere?
After the informative venture into the stars, students will use various lapidary equipment to polish and cut faces of his/her very own rock from space, a memento to the past and a reminder for future exploration into scientific pursuits!
