meteorites often have like a fusion crust, which is when it's all glassy on the outside of the rock. And then there're certain things that we only see in meteorites, like this cool metal pattern called a a vidmon statten patternan. They are owned by nassa, and they are stored at johnson space center and houston. People can also find a meteorite on their own, and then, e think it's their meterate, depending on where they found it.
The Red Planet. A mysterious dusty orb millions of miles away. Our emergency escape bunker. Alie sits down with Dr. Jennifer Buz to talk about what Mars’s DEEEEAL is, why we send rovers there, good science fiction, so-so science fiction, double egg yolks, the poetry of the moon Phobos and some of the best science dreams perhaps ever recorded. Jennifer is maybe the chillest areologist on this planet and an absolute gem.
You're going to want to look at Dr. Jennifer Buz's website JNNFR.BZ
