Can you tell the difference between a meteorite from space and a 'meteor-wrong' from Earth? In this demonstration, we explore where meteorites come from, what they're made of, how they end up on Earth, and why they are important for astronomers to study. Learn some of the techniques scientists use to tell the difference between a rock that came from space and an ordinary Earth rock, then see if you can figure out which of our rocks are true meteorites and which are imposters!
