Abstract
In 1969, an explosive shower of meteorites fell outside the town of Murchison in country Victoria. Containing organic material as well as space dust grains older than the solar system, the Murchison Meteorite has become one of the most studied meteorites and a treasure trove for science. Hear about an eye-witness account of its fall to Earth and see samples of the meteorite in the National Mineral and Fossil Collection at Geoscience Australia.
