Meteorite analysis is the study of meteorites, which are fragments of asteroids or other celestial bodies that have landed on Earth. Scientists analyze meteorites to learn about the composition and history of the early solar system, as well as to study the processes that occur in space. This field of research involves techniques such as chemical analysis, isotopic dating, and mineralogical studies to understand the origins and characteristics of meteorites. By studying meteorites, scientists can gain insights into the formation of planets, the evolution of the solar system, and the potential for extraterrestrial life.
