Ancient Meteorite

Alien metal with enigmatic properties has been uncovered within a set of items initially identified six decades ago, and it has been employed in the creation of weaponry.

A team of scientists from Ahmedabad-based Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), the United States and Japan has found a unique group of ancient lunar basaltic meteorites, suggesting a new scenario for the origin of lunar basalts, according to ISRO.

In its latest discovery, the NASA's Perseverance rover has found that the floor of the crater, which once hosted a lake billion years ago, is made up of volcanic rocks rather than sedimentary rocks, as believed earlier. The rover started examining the floor in the spring of 2021, after which scientists studied the data. It was found that the floor ...

A team of researchers from Australia's Curtin University studied the chemical and physical properties of the Black Beauty meteorite to determine the location of its origin on Mars. The chemical composition of Black Beauty suggested that Mars also had volcanic activity like Earth. The team concluded that the meteorite originated from one of the olde...

Scientists have discovered an ancient space rock in a Swedish quarry which is a type of meteorite never before found on the Earth and can shed more light on the evolution of life.

It was the first meteorite to be discovered through the new iteration of the Desert Fireball Network.

On the 27th of November, a network of high-tech cameras glimpsed it falling from the sky: a shining meteorite zipping through the earth's atmosphere and landing somewhere in the Australian outback. The journey was visible for about six seconds, a long exposure for such an event.

A new analysis of the oldest meteorite from Mars suggests that early Martian landscape had water, but instead of vast oceans the red planet probably held smaller seas.
