Feb. 2, 2022 Researchers studying a Martian meteorite have found the first evidence of high-intensity damage caused by asteroid impact, in findings that have implications for understanding when conditions ...
Jan. 29, 2024 Meteorites are fragments of asteroids which find their way to Earth as shooting stars and provide information on the origins of our solar system. A team of researchers has examined the so-called ...
Aug. 10, 2022 New research has provided the strongest evidence yet that Earth's continents were formed by giant meteorite impacts that were particularly prevalent during the first billion years or so of our ...
June 8, 2021 For the first time, a unique study has tracked the meteorite flux to Earth over the past 500 million years. Contrary to current theories, researchers have determined that major collisions in the ...
Sep. 20, 2021 Researchers watched fragments of two meteors as they ramped up the heat from room temperature to the temperature it reaches as it enters Earth's atmosphere and made a significant discovery. The ...
Aug. 11, 2022 Scientists found marble-sized chunks of rock in an asteroid sample that wouldn't disintegrate. They realized that these pebbles are physical evidence of a mysterious geological process first ...
Feb. 24, 2022 A new way of dating collisions between asteroids and planetary bodies throughout our solar system's history could help scientists reconstruct how and when planets were ...
Nov. 17, 2022 When Mars was a young planet, it was bombarded by icy asteroids that delivered water and organic chemistry necessary for life to emerge. According to the professor behind a new study, this means that ...
Dec. 13, 2021 A new study has found that the minerology of the rocks that a meteorite hits, rather than the size of the impact, determines how deadly an impact it will ...
May 13, 2022 A research team has investigated a meteorite from Mars using neutron and X-ray tomography. The technology, which will probably be used when NASA examines samples from the Red Planet in 2030, showed ...
