A New Czech Book Brings the World of Meteorites to Life
Art from the Universe… now in print.
Meteorites have captivated humanity for millennia. They blaze across the sky, carry secrets from the birth of the solar system, and may even hold clues to the origin of life. Under the Alien Rocks brand, we’re proud to introduce a project that brings all of this together – the most comprehensive Czech-language book about meteorites, now published by the respected Euromedia publishing house.
The book, Meteorites – Art of the Universe, blends science, storytelling, collecting tips and even a bit of mystery. It’s written for everyone, from curious beginners to experienced collectors.

An introduction to meteorite science – what they are, how to identify them and where they come from
A collector’s guide – how to search for, buy, care for and invest in meteorites
Captivating stories of famous meteorites from around the world and the Czech Republic

Why we wrote it
Our mission is to make meteorites – and the deeper understanding they offer – accessible to all lovers of the universe.
We believe these incredible objects belong not only in labs or museums, but in the hands and hearts of anyone who dreams about space. This book is a natural extension of our vision to bring the universe closer – a tool for learning, sharing, and inspiring curiosity.
Who’s behind it
The authors – Zdeněk Schneider, Milan Zvára, and Radek Šrejbr – are members of the International Meteorite Collectors Association (IMCA) and co-founders of Alien Rocks. We are active collectors, educators and enthusiasts who live and breathe meteorites. This book is a result of years of passion and experience.
