Hold and examine 10 meteorites, including a 572 gm Odessa iron, and cut portions of four other irons, one stony, two pallasites and two Carbonaceous chondrites (Allende and Murchison). You will also hold and examine several fossils and terrestrial crystals. In addition, you will experience an easily reproduced scale model of the solar system on a scale that can be held and walked, giving a powerful feel for both the vast scale and the emptiness of space.
