Asteroid bombardment Earth 800 million years ago: a new peer-reviewed study in The Planetary Science Journal links the ...
Eulalia asteroid bombardment: a new study identifies the Eulalia asteroid family as the source of a third wave of impacts ...
A massive asteroid that broke apart around 800 million years ago may have sent a huge number of rocky fragments towards Earth ...
When the solar system formed, a disk of gas and dust orbited the young sun. Over the course of millions of years, the dust gradually clumped together to form kilometer-sized chunks known as ...
A violent collision in the main asteroid belt may have sent debris raining across the inner solar system about 800 million years ago. The event could explain a long-debated spike in lunar impacts and ...
The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was likely an exceptionally rare CO chondrite from a distant region of the solar system. Its unusual chemistry suggests that planet-cooling dust and debris, ...
A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal has traced six chemically distinct families of the Solar System's oldest meteorites to a single ring-shaped dust trap just beyond Jupiter's orbit — ...
A catastrophic asteroid breakup may have triggered a huge wave of impacts across the inner solar system about 800 million ...
