Meteorite

Down in London for a work meeting at Friends House, then walked over to the Natural History Museum to finally get to see the Wold Newton Meteorite, which fell in the Wolds in the 19th Century. As it was observed landing, it helped prove that meteorites originated not from volcanoes as had been thought but from space. This in turn enabled the whole understanding of how the universe was formed to begin.
