Our mission is to create and share knowledge in the field of meteoritics through:
- Formal and informal education on meteorites and what these reveal about the origin and nature of asteroids, planets, and the Solar System
- Curation and lending of our meteorites for students to study
- Research about meteorites, planets, and the Solar System
Want to visit?
For the summer, we will meet weekly at room ROC 1.201 (day and time TBD). Directions can be found on our contact page. If you would like us to evaluate a rock sample that you suspect is a meteorite, you will need to register an appointment to visit us; please see our Found a Meteorite? page for details. If you would like to visit for other reasons (such as seeing our meteorite collection), no appointment is needed. Simply walk in when we’re open.
