Education & Research
Most collectables can be enjoyed for their own sake. However, learning about them is what for many of us ignites our imagination and that is especially true for meteorites and other meteorite-related materials. With a better understanding of the underlying science (geology, astronomy, astrobiology, astrophysics just to name a few disciplines), art, history, philosophy and even theology, we can now appreciate their wondrous cosmic insights, place in our collections, and importance throughout human history. ...
