A man in central Japan found an unusual stone in his garden a few years ago. It was later certified as a meteorite! In this episode, we'll explore the background of the Nagara meteor. We'll investigate how it arrived, where it came from, and how the man's stone was certified. We'll also meet the stone's family! It has siblings in Arizona and Argentina, and a parent from the asteroid belt. The Nagara meteor also tells us something unexpected about the early history of our solar system.
