In 1965, a meteorite fell near Revelstoke, B.C., and was discovered by beaver trappers. Scientists studied its fragments, which provided clues about the early solar system.
Decades later, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission brought back samples from the asteroid Bennu, a space rock similar to the Revelstoke meteorite, to learn more about the origins of life on Earth.
