- There are meteorites -- and then there are meteorWRONGS; deceptive terrestrial and human-made rocks and minerals that can be easily confused with special space rocks. Test your knowledge with the quiz at the end!
Super shout-out to Jim Holstein for his willingness to rock with us. get it. rock, 'cuz he's a geologi--- okay I'm done.

Every time I see a video in my feed from you my first thought is “meh, not that interested in that subject”. Then I watch the video and thanks to Emily’s enthusiasm and the wonderful presentation, by the end it’s “wow, I am REALLY interested in that subject!” Great work!
I was a former teacher for 8 years, went to the private sector for a few years, back working in finance for a state government job. I was asked to provide an in-service on how to teach for all staff since it was lacking and a few of my points were be yourself, inject your personality, and if you do it correctly you can make boring subject matter interesting. Emily is the epitome of that, she knows who she is and isn't, injects her personality to relate, and can make just about any subject matter interesting.
A little surprised by the missed opportunity for a "nailed it" pun with the magnetite.
omg
Muito bom 😃 parabéns. Brasíl
🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
I worked as a blacksmith: his explanation of "clinker" is actually spot on. The small bits of slag that form in the forge fire make a metallic ring, or "clinking" sound, when hit with the fire poker or when thrown into a bucket to be disposed off. The coke (burned bituminous coal) in the fire doesn't "clink".
Excellent video, much thanks! Another "smells like knowledge" sometime?
.... That nerdrap at the beginning took me right back to middle school geology! I love it! How is this show so magical? Seriously, though, I've got my final exam today in anatomy and physiology; as a pre-nursing student, this show has really helped me maintain focus on my curiosity, rather than my stress over grades. Thanks, Emily!
He came up with that out of nowhere. It was mind blowing. Jim is always a 10/10 guest on the program!
Aww, Thanks Em.
😮😮😮😮❤❤❤
Emily is such an inspiration. Her enthusiasm and propensity for science is wonderful to see. She wasn't from a specifically science background, which goes to show anyone can learn and become a scientist . Great work.
How many meteorwrongs make a meteorite?
Just one... dropped from outer space.
Maybe she can get NASA or SpaceX to being that rock up into space and drop it to correct the error.. ;)
Three
the ratio is around 400:1 or 0.25% (99.75% are just meteowrongs), for every 400 stones that look a lot like a meteorite one turns out to be a meteorite, my research and experience
/r/woooosh
I loved the quiz!! PLEASE do more like this! I felt like I learned so much 😊
I got a 4/4 btw, you guys are good teachers!!
If loving space rocks is Meteor wrong, I don't want to be a meteorite.
Haahaaa That's funny u get a☆
I found a rocks in my yard, I don't know if its meteorite, I'm amazed because it spark,like a glitters on it. It's so heavy and it seems like a meteorite.
@@dagaragjohnreign517 try using a magnet to see if it is ferrous. It's not surefire but it could help narrow things down. You could also order a 20 dollar pocket microscope to check the grain structure more closely which may help. I'd love to do an assay on it but sadly my university's labs are all closed at the moment. But also keep your eyes peeled for experts in your area you could contact. Do you have any photos of it on like an Instagram?

Look the vid ruclips.net/video/X-CpA2ZsSRk/видео.html
4/4, beginner's luck! I'm absolute garbage when it comes to non-living things.
How do you feel about an episode of 'how to read rocks for dummies'? Whenever I travel and see weird shapes/cracks, I always wish I could 'read' the rocks to find out more about the region's past. I think Jim can explain it in the most accessible way for a total dummy like me.
P.S. please tell Jim he makes the best womp womp noise he should be TBS' official SFX person
hey that's a great idea! I'm actually working on something sort of like this... :)
Go-to Grand canyon lay on your side ..top new , bottom old , nobody cares they can't find the gold , next Wyoming , layers bent , gniess ,. Inverted swirled into "s " ..mountain building makes heat , hot rocks bend ....shiny rocks good , follow the crystiles , many are elements , ovline is kewl !
The captain hammer shirt is legendary
The hammer is my... rocks from space?
They also have a crash course poster in the background
After so many years I still wait for the phrase "It still has brains on it" at the end.
Awesome video!!!
It will happen one day because it's a no brainer, so dont lose hope my dude.
This reminds me of lyrics from the Joanna Newson song “Emily”. She wrote it about her sister who is a astrophysicist (I think...if I recall correctly)
A bit goes:
“That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee”
Not only is it a great mnemonic, it's a beautiful song as well. Joanna Newsom is brilliant!
She goes on:
"The meteorite's just what causes the light/ and the meteor's how it's perceived/ The meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee."
I saw her perform it with the CSO years ago (they played all the songs from Ys that night) and it was magical.
Indeed! Absolute lyrical genius!
And thank you for the heart Emily!
+1 for Jim's Captain Hammer shirt. He's definitely a hero in his own way.
Ohh yay, I listened well. Got all of the answers correct! But super awesome video. I think I've found those slag rocks thinking they might be meteorites when I was a kid.
Thank you for keeping the it still has brains on it comment at the end for us who have been watching you since that video
I used to live in the Florida Keys. Well, one day I was out fishing on this bridge and all afternoon I swore I was seeing rocks falling from the sky. We were literally in the middle of nowhere (few homes and none nearby, no boats, etc), so I couldn't figure it out... I mentioned to my friends (a bunch of guys) that I was seeing rocks falling and of course they're like, "oh she's drunk - no more beer for Hannah today"! So yeah, I had been drinking, but I knew I was seeing those damn rocks literally all day long. We were still there when nightfall came around; all of a sudden the darkness (there were no streetlights there - it's like being out in the country) turned into this strange kind of flickering (but very, very bright) daylight! Then we heard this static/sizzling sound, followed by a number of loud 'booms' - I looked up and saw a massive fireball, spewing off flames and sparks with tons of white smoke, all of which extended in a trail up into space. We watched the meteor strike the ocean, and watched it glow as it sank into the depths. At first we thought it was going to explode and we all kind of braced ourselves for it! Then of course we all joked about if another one fell and it was on land, who would poke it with a stick (like in the movie 'The Blob'). Anyway, for the next 4 hours meteorites fell everywhere - some striking the palm trees and knocking off the fronds, and even causing them to burn. We watched a number of them strike the water as well... On my drive back home I saw a meteorite hit a person's roof and burst into flames and sparks as it bounced off of it. Numerous meteorites flew right over my car - at times I thought I was going to get hit by one! On the radio the DJ advised people to "stay inside, away from windows, until the meteors end". These space visitors caused fires all over - mainly the roofs of houses, but also burning up some palm trees and causing small bush fires. Not long ago at my job I had met a fire chief of a big suburb out here in Chicago, and we were discussing the 'Great Chicago Fire' when he said, "there were a lot of meteorites reported falling the night the fire started, and in fact there were large fires that erupted in Indiana and Milwaukee as well - again where people reported seeing numerous meteorites falling; and people said that these meteorites had set things on fire when they struck the ground". I told him my story about meteorites, and he replied that since the Chicago Fire there have been hundreds of reports of space rocks causing fires here on the planet! Go figure! Anyway, it was obvious that those rocks I saw falling from the empty sky during the day were also meteorites - yes, you can see them during the day.
Hannah Cwik Cool story!
that's so intense, thank you for sharing!
Did you collect any?
No, we were more interested not getting killed by one of those damn flying rocks!
I kinda wish I could have been there to see it, I would've been scared but curious at the same time and probably would've tried to get one to keep.
Can I just say that I am super excited to watch this on my lunch break today? T-2 hours til noon EST. Jim is my favorite guest!!
Seeing Emily puts a smile on my face but I especially love it when she gets excited over sciency stuff.
I enjoy this channel tremendously!
Feliz 2023
I am officially in LOVE with Emily! She just combined my two favorite hobbies, Rockhounding (Geology) and Astronomy.
You know that it’s going to be an extra awesome video when Jim’s in it! This was really fun even though geology etc isn’t something I’m usually super interested in!
Jim is such a good teacher, informative AND making it fun
At 10:56 I had this entire Dr who slow invasion moment.
Very, very interesting what Jim explain and what a nice participation of Emily.
Very fun episode, Emily and crew! I've really enjoyed all the BrainScoop episodes that relate to geology like the gems episode, and I hope to continue seeing more in the future!
My grandpa had a funny adventure: he was carrying a bucket of water from a well when he heard a whistling sound above his head and saw a strick of light coming down, he dropped the bucket and jumped off just to see a cloud of steam bursting from the bucket. At the bottom he found a half kilogrammes rock. Unfortunately it was lost somewhere during the history...
A part of me ships these 2. Jim's puns are just awesome
This was such a creative use of the polling feature! More, please!
I love how museums will identify rocks. My six year old is obsessed with geology so we went on a trip to a geology museum and they told her she could bring in anything on her next trip and they'd identify it. That was super nice but now shes set on finding a mystery so she has to try to find something she can't ID. At least it keeps her busy! We have a ton of rocks around here though!
Nice to see some geology on the channel! I'm glad I was able to identify all the meteor wrongs it's been a long while since I was at uni.
4/4. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I've got a strong background in geology but meteors are well outside my experience.
They are the best , go study ! They are old , 4.5678 billion years , get back to rock !
This is so cool because I recently found this channel and I also recently found a meteorite in my own backyard but you have to understand is I've been searching my entire life and then I find it in my backyard
When I see the darkened rock surfaces, my first thought is of desert varnish; I believe the blackish or purplish kinds involve manganese oxides, just like the manganese ore.
WTF took me so long to discover your channel, I'm a biology major (microbiology). I shall binge watch you now. (saw you on Ask a Mortician )
ruclips.net/video/nSFhUHwtWUU/видео.html On the channel there are 12 clips of meteor strike and formed minerals
I am always down for videos about cool rocks
Loved this video so much!
I loved this video! Great interview and editing/graphics too. I was looking for a video like this and it's perfect for understanding spatial / earth bound rocks.🌚
I love the Captin Hammer shirt. Love the (accidental?) Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog shout out. Keep bringing the good geology content. It rocks.
After 8-yrs of hunting and disregarding about a million Earth origin rocks, i have a small (suspect breccia meteorite) find that passes every test in my power to achieve. I set my goal to be the only person so far to find a meteorite in Kansas City Mo, and hope this rare find helps to grow our knowledge of the universe. (your-upload-was-great)
got 4/4! i loved geology as a kid so this episode was so fun, and Jim is great as always. Hope you do more quiz time's in the future!! 😁
Wow that's totally amazing I was watching a video this morning regarding the volcanic compilation of the earth and what things are present when you find gold under the same terminology of rock description that you're making regarding meteorites I think that's pretty cool the similarity that is.
This was great!! Thanks for making a really cool video!
10:04
»[You know] what time it is?«
»Lunch time!«
It still has meteorites on it.
I got three out of four right, the same as Emily did.
Very informative - great teachers thank you!
Thanks, you two have good energy, very engaging!
Awesome use of the polling function! And you explained it well so I got 4/4 - good job!
" A big ol chunk of poopie! Bowling bombs we call them."
Great hair style Emily!
She has a video on her personal channel that explains how to do it. All I remember is step one: "Getcha comb!"
"Ready to rock...", I love this guy! Embrace your inner dork :D
Well this is the fourth video I've watched, and I'm hooked. You do an amazing job.
gosh,I am happy everytime Jim Holstein (what a fitting name for the geology field... in German.) pops up on your show :D geology/geoscience rocks
I won't say the university, but I took it and had six geologist look at it. They were stumped didn't know what it was. My next stop is going to UCLA. Let's see what they have to say about my rock specimen if it's a meteorite. It meets all the criteria. But no one can tell me. Not even the experts. This is a true story.
5:55 “yes, you are...
(Blush) I mean the meteorite!”
Flashbacks to geology in college! As in that class, I didn't do particularly well. But this was fun!
Feliz 2023
I have available all these tree types of meteorites and also Kemberlites.
He's wearing a Dr. Horrible's merch shirt! (Capt 🔨) cool vid too! 😁
You know Emily's channel is the only one I'm subbed to that doesn't pee me off with adverts:) not one! Cheers Emily
When that rock shifted at 10:56 I don't know why but I suddenly got this fight or flight response like something very wrong had just happened.
I think I found one about 5 years ago and just put it on the mantel. It is an iron one and has all the characteristics of what you pointed out but mine is two pieces fused together with that white , what looks like paper, in between the two. It's kind of flat broken on three sides and more round where it's has the whitening from entering the atmosphere and heating up? It's quite interesting and makes you wonder if anything is stuck in the fused area which is flattened.
Me and my brother used to play with pieces of ironslag when i was a little kid and pretended it was meteorites (even if we knew it was not). I agree with that i guess most kids think a meteorite should look like that.
Hi Sunshine, I'm not just a med. wrong I'm a big wrong too. May peace an prosperity be with you always!
My enthusiasm for this channel only grows!
Love your channel, keep up the great work. :)
Oh yeeeaaaahhh! I love videos with Jim in them!!!
after i quit laughing, the rest of the video was quite interesting. not sure if i could recognise a meteorRITE everytime, but i did as well on the quiz as Emily. really enjoy these "brainscoops". now, on to more!
Thank yall for making this video. And I like what ole man said, you cant trust the internet take it to someone that wont lie lol much love from TN
6:41 KRYPTONITE!!
I'm such a damn nerd... cant believe I'm watching this and loving it
I'm sorry, we're we playing a game? I was fully distracted by the Captain Hammer t-shirt. We do the weird stuff.
Nice and clear explanation.
Well done!
Complimenti!
Hello there , so I came across a meteorite rock in my backyard in Egypt and was wondering if I can send some pictures to get more information about it . thank you.
Love the channel! askamortician brought me here(:
Thank You for the info. I found four Rock a looks like Meteors. I used a magnet. It works it stick on the Rocks. I Now I know were to go to tests it. Thanks again Jose
Great lesson, Jim! I got them all right this time. Woo hoo!
Every museum should host BrainScoop for an episode
The mythical stories of legendary warrior brandishing weapons made from fallen meteors. it's just an iron weapon........that kinda dispelled the magical qualities of the story i guess. But i guess iron is kinda hard to find during those time so it's kinda magical or rare.
Emily and Jim are the ritest meteors!
Yay for never-ending curiosity.
All I can think about is martin's sword from redwall 😂
Love this episode! I only got 3 out of 4 correct, but yay! I learned things! Also, is Jim wearing a Captain Hammer t-shirt?
More rock and mineral videos, please!
I have something look like a meteorite
Some precious metal ore's are also very heavy. Manganese ore is black on the outside, very pretty pink inside.
thnks for the information
Please I have some stones I need help to find out if it is a value I found in the desert
I will send you pictures
Hi Emily, any thoughts on collaboration videos with other museums, like the Museum of Natural History in NYC?
Awesome video, gonna bust out my tiny collection and get back into it.
Just that song made the like, hahah god i love this channel.
i fucking loved the quiz i feel so smart now i love geology and stuff omg this was gr8
Totes
Love it!
I'm glad to see Captain Hammer is getting on with his life after Dr. Horrible.
Wait its literally that shirt. fuck.
meteo-MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
(letting the days go by~~)
5:50 Damascus steel from outer space neat!
Next craze: Olivine engagement rings.
Such a fun video to watch. Love it!!
I found a Meteorite when i was seven. I have lost it...Story of my life.
I love JIm
I think we found Meteorite.., this is bullet shape & high density.. we plan to sell..my Meteorite..
I know I am just supposed to learn from this, but she is sooo cute!!😻
very informative .
Now, I'm determined to get my collection identified.
Thank you, like, and subscribed.
Catchy tune! 😁😁😁
I guessed completely opposite of Emily for each rock in the quiz. XD
