FIREBALLS FROM SPACE

There are two programmes on Sunday 3rd March about meteors & meteorites:

8pm-9pm on Channel 4: 'Meteor Strike: Fireball from space'

9pm-10pm on BBC2: 'Horizon, the Truth about Meteors' with Prof Iain Stewart

Here are a pair of swiftly assembled documentaries pondering what, if anything, it all means. BBC2’s offering is presented by Professor Iain Stewart. He’ll be exploring the role of meteorites in earth’s history and assessing the possibility of them making a return visit at some point. 

C4’s documentary will be attempting something fairly similar while utilising a slightly more dramatic title (‘Meteor Strike: Fireball from Space’, no less!) – although it does promise previously unseen footage, which, let’s be honest, is what it’s all about.
