Meteorite find

So, you know how we have rocks here on Earth that we pick up and play with? Well, there are rocks that come from space too! These are called meteorites.

Sometimes, these meteorites fall from space and hit our planet. When someone finds a meteorite, it's called a meteorite find! People get really excited when this happens because it's not every day we get to see something that comes from space.

Scientists study these meteorite finds to learn more about our universe. They can tell us a lot about what the other planets and asteroids in our solar system are made of.

Plus, it's really cool to think that something from outer space just landed on our Earth!
