A space rock the color of coal and no larger than a pebble you’d shake from a shoe just arrived at the Field Museum, where scientists will spend the next two months probing this extraordinary specimen ...

Fashion met science recently as an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate fashion merchandising and biochemistry students won the 2025 Best Innovation Award for its spacesuit design.

The fall of the Aguas Zarcas meteorite was no ordinary event. It came from a nearly vertical angle, about 81 degrees steep, entering from the west-northwest. The blazing rock left a trail through the ...

Where do meteorites of different types come from? In a review paper in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, astronomers trace the impact orbit of observed meteorite falls to several ...

ABSTRACT: Almost coevally with worldwide impact events, immediately at the beginning of the Eocene-Oligocene Transformation (EOT), (34.0 - 33.5 Ma), the Jordanian ...

Founded in 1933, the group has now spread to 33 countries and publishes a record of all known meteorites, as well as Meteoritics and Planetary Science, a journal edited at the UA. The meeting will ...

Where do different types of meteorites come from? A new review published in Meteoritics & Planetary Science traces the impact orbit of observed meteorite falls back to previously unknown source ...

Jenniskens & Devillepoix 2025 Meteoritics & Planetary Science Most meteorites that impact the Earth come from the asteroid belt—the region between Mars and Jupiter's orbits, where over a million ...

In their new study, which appears in Meteoritics & Planetary Science, the Imperial College team has now proven that a sample recently returned from asteroid 162173 Ryugu is not the smoking gun for ET.

“The first step to understand our solar system is the difference between the gas giants and the terrestrial planets,” said Fran Bagenal, an astrophysics and planetary science professor at the ...

A recent study in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science threw cold water on the idea — the microbes on Ryugu almost certainly came from Earth rather than outer space. They learned this ...
