Martian meteorites

Martian meteorites are rocks from Mars that have traveled through space and landed on Earth. They originate from the Martian surface, ejected into space by large impact events like meteor strikes. These rocks eventually settle on Earth, allowing scientists to study Mars’ composition and geological history without sending spacecraft directly to the planet. Martian meteorites provide valuable insights into Mars' crust, volcanic activity, and potential past habitability, making them important clues in planetary science and the search for life beyond Earth.
