The Meteorites: Encounters with Outer Space and Deep Time

with Helen Gordon

They travel through space for millions of years before falling, suddenly, to Earth—sometimes crashing through rooftops, other times quietly landing in fields. But every meteorite has a story.

Join Helen Gordon, acclaimed author of Notes from Deep Time, as she explores the remarkable world of meteorites: ancient messengers from the cosmos that connect us to the beginnings of life and the mysteries of the universe. In her new book The Meteorites, Gordon traces the journeys of these celestial visitors—and the lives they touch, from farmers to kings, scientists to stargazers.

This is an evening of deep time, cosmic wonder, and the strange beauty of the rocks that fall from space.
