The asteroid belt provides important clues into the history of our solar system. Meteorite specialist Denton Ebel, curator in the Division of Physical Sciences, explains different theories of solar system formation and how the asteroid belt figures into the stable configuration of planets that we know today. #asteroids #asteroidbelt #planets #space #solarsystem #astronomy #astrophysics ASTEROID CRASH COURSE Asteroids can be hazardous to life on Earth, but they also provide clues about the early solar system. In the Asteroid Crash Course video series, Denton Ebel, curator in the Museum's Division of Physical Sciences, explains how asteroids formed and the varying degrees of destruction they cause when they fall to Earth. What is an Asteroid? Meteorite, Meteor: What’s the Difference? What Were the Biggest Asteroids to Hit Earth? Can Asteroids Be Deflected? What Happens When Large Meteorites Fall to Earth?
