ASU Center for Meteorite Studies



The Arizona State University Center for Meteorite Studies, home to the world’s largest university-based meteorite collection, creates new knowledge about the origin of our planetary system through the study of meteorites so that we may understand the pathway to forming habitable worlds. The Center is dedicated to sharing this knowledge with students, educators and the general public by providing educational opportunities that expand awareness and understanding of the science of meteoritics. In support of its research and education activities, the Center aggressively pursues cutting edge conservation approaches for its existing meteorite collection, while also seeking new, significant meteorite samples, so that they may be made accessible to the local and international public and science community for posterity.
