Last episode we asked, what if a killer asteroid was headed towards the India. This episode, we're exploring how people find bits of asteroids that do crash into India from time to time. And why go looking for meteorites at all - what's in it for us? This episode is an Imagined Tomorrow Short, where we take a detour to discuss an idea sparked by a future we previously explored. 

Experts we spoke to for the episode:

Dr. Dwijesh Ray, a planetary geologist at the physical research laboratory in Ahmedabad.

People who helped make this episode:

Imagined Tomorrow is created and hosted by Shreya Dasgupta. Theme music, sound design and editing by Abhijit Shylanath.

Imagined Tomorrow is a long form podcast that imagines futures for India and this part of the world through the lens of science and technology. Each episode explores a hypothetical future for India, and with the help of different voices and experts, tries to figure out what the journey to that future might look like given Indian realities in mind. Perhaps, the future could become a reality ten or twenty years from now. Maybe it’s a future only a few can reach. Or perhaps, it’s a future we shouldn’t even try to get to.
