Meteroids move towards the earth every day.

When they are large enough and survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and land, they become meteorites.

People collect the fragments, some end up in museums, some are sold on E-bay.

In February, auction house Christie's sold a rare meteorite for $ 4 million.
