Asteroids and Meteorites:Treasures and Terrors From Space

Asteroids and meteorites range the gamut between scientific and intellectual curiosities to potential sources of important knowledge and great wealth. The asteroid belt may offer future locations for human settlement and jumping off points to explore the outer solar system. A single M-Type asteroid could possess substantial quantities of precious and economically important metals, such as gold, platinum, titanium, lithium, iron, and copper, which exceed all amounts previously mined on Earth. It is estimated that there are between 50,000 and 200,000 of these types of asteroids, just waiting for us. 
Nevertheless, asteroids also pose risks to our planet. Although catastrophic impacts are rare, the continuous arrival of meteorites (also known as shooting-stars) serve as a constant reminder of this threat.
