Elles sont toutes issues de la collection du Mus\u00e9e de min\u00e9ralogie MINES ParisTech. Ces dons du ciel sont aussi des dons d\u2019hommes qui se sont illustr\u00e9s dans la d\u00e9couverte, l\u2019\u00e9tude des objets c\u00e9lestes tomb\u00e9s sur terre. \u00ab\u00a0Dons du ciel\u00a0\u00bb constitue une belle occasion pour le Mus\u00e9e de pouvoir les remercier et les mettre \u00e0 l\u2019honneur.<\/p>\n

Les m\u00e9t\u00e9orites lunaires et martiennes pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es pour la premi\u00e8re fois sont des dons r\u00e9cents de Luc Labenne, Alain Carion et Edwin Thompson, chasseurs de m\u00e9t\u00e9orites, ainsi que de l\u2019association ABC Mines, soutien de la collection<\/strong>. Le visiteur pourra m\u00eame toucher ces morceaux de plan\u00e8te et de satellite<\/strong>.

Tous se sont illustr\u00e9s dans l\u2019histoire des sciences, de la min\u00e9ralogie et pour bon nombre d\u2019entre eux dans l\u2019histoire de l\u2019\u00e9cole des Mines.<\/p>\n

Incontournable de l\u2019exposition, le fragment de 226 kg de la m\u00e9t\u00e9orite de Canyon Diablo marquera les esprits<\/strong>\u00a0!
