Did you know that fragments from an Australian meteorite contain the oldest material ever found – stardust!
This National Science Week join us to hear award-winning author, Mark Greenwood, read his new book, Lucky's Star. Lucky's Star explores the fascinating true story of the meteorite that landed in Murchison, Victoria in 1969. The pieces of space rock that were discovered provided clues about the origins of life on Earth.
About Lucky's Star
Follow Lucky as she discovers a very precious rock that fell from space.
On a quiet spring morning, something strange falls from the sky and lands in a small country town. Lucky watches as 'stars' rain down on the fields and farms, but just what are these unusual objects? And what will Lucky do with her own special find?
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
