Abstract
The fall of the meteorite Puerto Lápice constituted an important fact in the area of planetary science. The work describes, in a didactical and affordable language, the importance of recovering meteorites and how from them we can learn unknown aspects about the process of planet formation in the solar system. Furthermore, it explains the interest of studying the smallest and the most primitive objects formed in those initial phases, and that host fundamental keys about the origin and evolution of the solar system. Includes DVD. Work profusely illustrated in colour.
