Making an impact: Investigating impacts in our early Solar System through meteorite analysis The Solar System is a very active place – planets, asteroids and other planetary bodies will sometimes interact with one another, which can lead to meteor and impact events here on Earth! In this talk, Dr. Cartwright will describe some of the
