A rare Martian meteorite has revealed complex volcanic processes and mantle heterogeneity on Mars, offering new clues to the planet’s magmatic evolution and thermal history. In a groundbreaking ...

The Tellus Science Museum announced last week that it acquired a piece of the meteorite, which created a visible fireball ...

The rare stony chondrite meteorite will likely be dubbed the “Titusville, N.J.,” after the location where it smashed through a roof, officials said.

Research has also shown that some early chondrite meteorites contained radioactive forms of elements like aluminum that release a form of high-energy radiation called gamma rays when they decay.

The Tellus Science Museum in Georgia added a 150-gram meteorite, recently seen blazing through the sky, to its collection.

Shannon Graham, an assistant professor of physics at the college who helped analyze the rock, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the chondrite meteorite, which contains low levels of iron, is one ...

One of the strongest connections is between H-chondrite meteorites and the Koronis asteroid family in the pristine main belt. Jenniskens and his team found that 12 H chondrites, which are rich in ...

"We now see that 12 of the iron-rich ordinary chondrite meteorites (H chondrites) originated from a debris field called "Koronis," which is located low in the pristine main belt," said Jenniskens.

Herd met up with Velaidum a few days later and the pair recovered nearly 100 more grams of debris. Though researchers confirmed the samples to be from an ordinary chondrite meteorite, the most ...

Jenniskens and Devillepoix find that low iron (L chondrite) and very low iron (LL chondrite) meteorites come to us primarily from the inner main belt.
