Plural of aerolite; multiple meteorites, especially stony ones that fall from space to Earth.
Regular plural of aerolite (aero- + -lite = stone from air/sky). The plural form became common as meteorite collection and study increased in the 19th century.
Museums with extensive meteorite collections display aerolites from different regions of space, and scientists can analyze them to learn about the chemical composition of asteroids and the early solar system!
