this is what I brought to your son’s
birthday party because when you have a
birthday party at the Museum we got to
do that take you places you haven’t been
before would you feel that so does this
mean ah have you then the Academy Award
so we’re made of Stardust right yes is
this so this is part of me this is
forged in the heart of a dying star of a
dying star
yes well I’m not buying this and this is
this is mostly iron and so it is likely
that the very same star that created
this iron created the iron that’s in
this as well as the iron in your blood
see I find that really cool so you have
a kinship what was the cosmos on its
deepest level so meteorites a reminder
first that earth moves in a shooting
gallery that’s my first thought when I
think of meteorites because we get hit
by them but also there’s a colleague of
mine who did a calculation and it turns
out that if you add up all the iron in
the hemoglobin of all the residents of
the New York metropolitan area it’s
about the same amount of iron as we have
in that meteorite so just even thought
to calculate that that was cool and so
it’s it’s a literal reminder a
scientific reminder that we are Stardust
then that we’ve come from the same
points of origins so I’m impressed that
she was impressed by that because she
prompted that memory within me for me to
bring out the meteorite and Emily would
you agree that this is a powerful this
is a powerful stuff Carl Sagan made this
famous we are star stuff to think about
it is one thing but to hold it and you
like went down a little bit you can see
that on the clip because it’s so way
more than her Academy Award yes happier
than you expect because we’re used to
earth rocks which also have magnesium
and silicate and things in them but this
is iron that sank to the middle of an
asteroid way back in the day and so it’s
way heavier than we would expect for an
earth rock and so people take it and
like don’t expect it to be so heavy and
oldest our city who look who like way a
bit more than they look
I’ve got big bones this meteorite has
but it’s a big bone
