Since time immemorial, mankind has looked to the sky in search of answers to countless questions. It has looked to the stars in search of connections between the universe above and Earth.
In the process, it witnessed endless cosmic events that enthralled mankind for thousands of years in the ancient past.
Since its inception, Mother Earth has been bombarded by celestial bodies including asteroids, comets and meteorites. Man has always been a witness to these astronomical phenomena, ever since he learned to look up and observe. There have also been cases in which objects from the extraterrestrial world have fallen from the sky which ancient people could touch and feel.
As mankind progressed through history, it learned to worship the sky and learn craftsmanship to use materials, even those that came from outside our planet. Since then, humans have created weapons, tools, and other artifacts using materials from celestial bodies such as meteorites.
