Purpose: The aim of this paper is to show the correlation between materials science and the study of extraterrestrial matter, especially meteorites. Design/methodology/approach: Raman Spectroscopy and Cathodoluminescence (CL) are two main methods used by Author to characterize meteorites. Findings: Understanding laboratory techniques for manufacturing different materials (e.g. diamond) helps to understand the processes taking place in space. Conversely, the new findings and discoveries give new insight applicable to material science and laboratory techniques. Research limitations/implications: The possibilities of creating new materials similar to those found in meteorites is shown in the paper. For instance diamond polytypes are not yet well characterized and could lead to advances in materials science. Originality/value: SEM / CL images of DaG 868 presented in this paper are shown for the first time.
