Giant Ancient Collision May Have ‘Flipped’ the Moon’s Interior, Study Suggests
Scientists analyzing lunar samples from China’s Chang’e-6 mission have uncovered evidence of a colossal ancient asteroid impact. Elevated levels of heavy potassium isotopes suggest extreme heating that drove lighter elements into space, potentially explaining why the Moon’s far side lacks dark volcanic plains seen on the near side.

Hubble Observations Turn Exoplanet Into Dust; Reveal Rare Double Asteroid Impact in Nearby System
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that a vanished exoplanet near the star Fomalhaut was never a planet at all. Scientists discovered two rare, violent collisions between asteroid-sized bodies, producing glowing debris clouds that briefly mimicked planets. The findings offer a rare glimpse into how planetary systems evolve and how mislead...

Scientists Discover 63 Young Asteroid Families, Doubling Previous Record in Solar System
A new study published in Icarus has revealed 63 newly discovered young asteroid families, more than doubling the previously known count. Formed less than 10 million years ago, these groups provide fresh insights into asteroid evolution. Researchers say many more remain hidden, offering crucial clues about meteorite origins and potential Earth-impac...

Cosmic Visitor: 4.56-Billion-Year-Old Meteorite Strikes into Georgia Home
On June 26, 2025, a dazzling daytime fireball streaked over Georgia, captured by satellites and witnessed across multiple states. A surviving fragment smashed through the roof of a McDonough home, denting the wooden floor 14 feet below. Scientists at the University of Georgia analyzed about 23 grams of this ancient rock, determining it to be a 4.56...
