Spotlight on our meteorites!
Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan - Montreal Space for life
Take a journey through space and time! Each meteorite has its own story to tell, whether it's about how it fell to Earth or the circumstances surrounding its discovery. Their names evoke faraway places, but, more importantly, each one sheds light on our solar system's chaotic past, back when the Sun and planets were formed. Come admire some of the most fascinating specimens from the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan meteorite collection, the largest of its kind in Québec and the third largest in Canada.
