Christian Varady was watching the sky outside his Cantonment home when he saw a color-changing fireball fall into the neighborhood.

In a recent episode of SETI Live, Communications Specialist Beth Johnson spoke with Ian Pamerleau, lead author of a new study diving into the mysteries of Ceres published in Nature Astronomy. Pamerleau,

Rocky bodies called protoplanets were thought to have formed slightly earlier in the inner solar system than those beyond the asteroid belt, but now a meteorite from the outer solar system is rewritin

Analysis of meteorite Northwest Africa 12264 suggests that we may have to alter our timeline of the early Solar System, potentially changing our models of planet formation. In 2018, a small meteorite was found in Northwest Africa.

A groundbreaking study published in Communications Earth & Environment has called into question the long-standing assumptions about how our solar system came to be. Tiny shavings from a meteorite known as Northwest Africa 12264 have provided new insights into the formation of planetary bodies,

Watch the waning gibbous moon, Saturn, and Neptune meet in the night sky around midnight on July 16. The trio will travel above the eastern horizon and high into the sky throughout the night, with Venus and Jupiter joining soon before sunrise. While the moon and Saturn will be visible to the naked eye, Neptune requires a telescope.

“What we’ve been trying to do is find a baby version of our Solar System somewhere else,” Merel van’t Hoff, an astronomer at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, tells Nature’s Jenna Ahart.

The meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 7325 was initially proposed as a possible fragment of Mercury. However, its mineralogy includes chromium-rich pyroxene containing approximately 1% iron. This poorly matches Mercury’s estimated surface composition. As a result of this, and other factors, this link has been challenged.

A small, inconspicuous meteorite may be about to change our understanding of how and when our solar system formed. Tiny shavings from the meteorite Northwest Africa 12264 are challenging the long-held belief that planets near the sun formed earlier than those beyond the asteroid belt,

The small meteor lit up the night sky on Thursday and may have landed as meteorites across a vast area of the west Highlands.
