From the description: "Meteorites, asteroids, and comets are a regular part of life in our solar system. An average of two asteroids pass the earth each month, and thousands of small meteorites strike the earth every year. But if an asteroid measuring miles in diameter were on a collision course with earth, civilization as we know it would disappear. There would be nothing we could do...
Welcome to the world of meteorites, messengers from outer space that tell us about the birth of the solar system and the formation of the stars. They were worshipped as gods by the Anasazi Indians and forged into the dagger found wrapped with the mummy of King Tutankhamen. But the most famous meteorite is the one that struck the earth some 65 million years ago, thought by many to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Filled with amazing computer graphics, pictures from Voyager II, and footage from ancient meteor craters and specimens from around the world, Meteorites tells a fascinating story of science, legend, myth, and wonder.
