In this workshop participants practise distinguishing meteorites from ordinary terrestrial rocks and minerals, and use a microscope to examine characteristics typical of meteorites. They also observe asteroids and comets using NASA’s ‘Eyes on Asteroids’ app. The workshop can be booked only in Finnish and Swedish.
