University of Arizona -- University of Arizona scientists have discovered that meteorites, particularly iron meteorites, may have been critical to the evolution of life on Earth.     Their research shows that meteorites easily could have provided more phosphorus than naturally occurs on Earth -- enough phosphorus to give rise to biomolecules which eventually assembled into living, replicating organisms...

Tiny meteors, typically no larger than a grain of sand, frequently bore hot tunnels through Earth&#39;s air to leave behind thin, glowing trails of gas. We sometimes see them as dramatic &quot;shooting stars.&quot;
