A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...
Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...
Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.
To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread ...
A group of astronomers has found a solar system 116 light-years from Earth that seems to challenge current theories about how ...
