Scientific paper

Meteorites are rock and metal fragments, smaller than planets and larger than molecules, of disrupted planetary bodies. Although they are commonly referred to as space debris, they are scientifically important for the understanding of solar system origin, and possibly earth origin. Much has been learned about their early geologic history, ages, pre-terrestrial orbits, environmental condition, organic contents, and shock events. These results have been applied in turn to interpreting the origin of the solar system and comets. An introduction to meteorites and their significance is provided and a glossary of terminology is given.
