The small meteor that came crashing towards our planet in late February is an extremely rare type known as a carbonaceous chondrite - a rock that contains the ingredients for life. It is the first of its kind to ever be found in the UK after it landed in a driveway in the Cotswold town of Winchcombe. Thousands of people across the UK and Northern Europe watched in awe as a fireball cut across the night skies on February 28.
