The Houston Museum of Natural Science is now showing a meteorite that crashed into a home in the Spring area in March. The rock is part of the museum's "Fall to Earth" exhibit, which traces its path through space.
Scientists believe the meteorite is about 4.5 billion years old. Dr. Carolyn Sumners, curator of astronomy at the museum, said the rock is very old and that some of the material that formed the solar system was older than the solar system itself, as the meteorite is.
