On analysis, it was uncovered that the asteroid that birthed the meteorites was a remnant of the early Solar System. Researchers further discovered that the space rock contained carbon compounds ...

A meteorite impact can result in a thick layer of dust and soot blocking the sun and cooling the surface. Volcanic eruptions release vast amounts of carbon-dioxide, dust and sulfur, thereby ...

One of the oldest known remnants of the pre-Earth solar system, this meteorite played a pivotal role in confirming the presence of carbon molecules elsewhere in the universe. Explore this timeline ...

According to Museums Victoria, the meteorite likely originated in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Carbon dating suggests that the Maryborough meteorite landed on Earth between 100 and ...

As temperatures plunge, many people turn up the heat and that increases the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Theory holds that a bombardment of the parent asteroids of meteorites like Winchcombe could have delivered much of the H20 we now see in our oceans. The carbon content of Winchcombe is in the ...

Earlier JWST measurements of the planet's radiation at a single wavelength of 15 micrometers suggested a thick carbon dioxide-rich ... by stellar radiation and meteorite impacts.
