An international team of astronomers have become the first in the world to detect isotopes in the atmosphere of an exoplanet. It concerns different forms of carbon in the gaseous giant planet TYC 8998 ...
Some material in the Ryugu dust could not have formed in the outer solar system—minerals such as spinel, olivine and perovskite, which all form at high temperatures. The researchers found that the ...
Observations of the fast-moving interstellar comet with the Very Large Telescope in Chile support similar observations made ...
Earth's potassium arrived by meteoritic delivery service finds new research led by Earth and planetary scientists. Their work shows that some primitive meteorites contain a different mix of potassium ...
In the search to discover the origins of our solar system, an international team of researchers including planetary scientist and cosmochemist James Lyons of Arizona State University (ASU) has ...
Isotope ratios found in meteorites suggest that a supernova exploded nearby while the Sun and Solar System were still forming. But the blast wave from a supernova that close could have potentially ...
Washington, DC—Earth’s potassium arrived by meteoritic delivery service finds new research led by Carnegie’s Nicole Nie and Da Wang. Their work, published in Science, shows that some primitive ...
