FEST talk: Asteroids and the Utrecht Meteorite Lab

Last October, an asteroid was named after our colleague and speaker of the day, Inge Loes ten Kate. The department of Earth Sciences hosts a 157-sample meteorite collection, but what makes meteorites so fascinating? And is there a link with the asteroid? This FEST will be all about asteroids and meteorites, their role in unraveling the solar system history, what we can learn from meteorites about the Earth, their hypothesized role in the origin of life, and how you will be able to access the collection in the near future.
