What Meteors Reveal About Earth’s Hidden Past
Season 6
Episode 11
Our planet has been rocked by many-a-meteorite, and they’ve left not just themselves as space debris but also craters and even molecules needed for life. Now we’ve started to travel to them, and they might be a key part of our forays into deep space. In this episode, we’re talking about meteors and asteroids, and why they should matter to those of us living down here on earth.
