Newfound meteorite could help unlock secrets of the solar system

The incredibly rare space rock recovered in the U.K. could help scientists answer questions about how Earth got its water and maybe even how life here got started.

A chunk of meteorite that was recently recovered from a driveway in Winchcombe, England. The meteorite is a rare and ancient type known as a carbonaceous chondrite, and its composition could help scientists piece together the early history of the solar system.
