"The meteoroids we see as meteors in the night sky are the size of small pebbles," said lead author and SETI Institute and NASA Ames meteor astronomer Peter Jenniskens. "They are, in fact, the same ...

Study of inclusions in a primordial meteorite suggests that magnetism must be considered in simulations of planet formation, ...

Before the Earth and other planets formed, the young sun was still surrounded by cosmic gas and dust. Over the millennia, rock fragments of various sizes formed from the dust. Many of these became ...

Age data for certain classes of meteorite have made it possible to gain new findings on the origin of small water-rich astronomical bodies in the early solar system. These planetesimals continually ...

Widespread magnetism dating from our solar system’s earliest beginnings some 4.57 billion years ago likely played a major role in creating orbital order out of chaos. But until now, magnetism’s role ...

Learn about the formation of the grains within many meteorites, emerging from collisions of planetary bodies in the early Solar System. The tiny grains that make up most meteorites on Earth may have ...
