NASA’s Perseverance May Have Found Its First Meteorite on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover may have discovered its first meteorite on Mars, a 31-inch iron-nickel boulder named Phippsaksla found in Jezero Crater. Its pitted, coral-like texture and unusually high metal content resemble meteorites previously identified by Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity. Scientists are now analysing the rock’s composition in...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finds Metal-Rich Rock on Mars: What You Need to Know
NASA’s Perseverance rover has identified Phippsaksla, a sculpted, metal-rich boulder in Jezero Crater with an unusually high iron-nickel composition. The rock’s chemistry strongly suggests it is a meteorite formed elsewhere in the solar system. Its presence within impact-shaped terrain offers fresh clues about ancient asteroids and helps scient...

Study Traces Moon-Forming Impact to an Inner Solar System Neighbour Named Theia
A new isotopic study reveals that Theia—the Mars-sized body that struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form the Moon—likely originated in the inner Solar System, close to Earth’s birthplace. By comparing heavy-element isotope ratios in lunar rocks, Earth samples, and meteorites, researchers found identical signatures, showing both worlds form...
