This Chasing History educational display features a genuine NWA 869 meteorite—an ancient fragment from the early solar system.
NWA 869 is a stony meteorite known as an ordinary chondrite, containing small round grains called chondrules—some of the oldest solid material ever formed. These formed over 4.6 billion years ago, during the creation of planets and asteroids.
Recovered from the Sahara Desert, NWA 869 is part of one of the largest meteorite finds ever discovered, made up of a mixture of different materials fused together over time.
This display combines real space material with educational context, making it a perfect introduction to meteorites and planetary science.
