In the article, “A Low-Temperature Transfer of ALH84001 from Mars to Earth,” the scientists do not claim that microbial life actually traveled from Mars to Earth aboard the meteorite, but they ...

Hidden messages in meteorites could reveal how the Earth will END: Ancient magnetic clues are decoded for the first time. Scientists have captured dying moments of meteorite's magnetic field ...

MOST of the secondary or chondritic meteorites are composed of irregular grains of silicate, sulphide, phosphide, oxide and metal phases. They are generally thought to be fragments of secondary ...

Meteorite mineralogy can provide a window into the conditions of the early Solar System, including how and when water disappeared from asteroids. Kimura et al.use nanometre-scale palaeomagnetics ...

Analysis Of Martian Meteorite Using Unique Magnetic Microscope Date: October 30, 2000 Source: Vanderbilt University Summary: When Joseph L. Kirschvink heard about the capabilities of the new ...

The oldest known Martian meteorites, which date to roughly 4.4 billion years ago, therefore present an “amazing chance to study the magnetic field,” says Vervelidou, of MIT and the Institute ...

Sara says, 'Meteorites are like postcards from the past. They are so important because they are the only things that can tell us about the solar system's formation, 4.6 billion years ago. 'This ...

Unusual shape: iron-nickel meteorites are rarely rounded. Instead, they have an irregular shape with unusual pits like finger prints in their surface called “regmaglypts.” Fusion crust: stony ...

The chondrule grains whose magnetic fields were mapped in the new study came from a meteorite named Semarkona, after the place in India where it fell in 1940. It weighed 691 grams, or about a ...

To look for signs of these primordial magnetic fields, researchers investigated the so-called Semarkona meteorite, a rock weighing about 1.5 pounds that crashed in northern India in 1940.
