In a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications Earth and Environment, researchers at the University of Rochester were able to use magnetism to determine, for the first time, when ...

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.

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 ...

Scientists believe that two asteroids might be fragments of long-lost "planetary embryos" from the early solar system. These ...

A study conducted by scientists at São Paulo State University’s Institute of Geosciences and Exact Sciences (IGCE-UNESP) in Rio Claro, Brazil, has identified 19 asteroids of interstellar origin ...

Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.

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 ...

Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii have identified a distant small body beyond Pluto, adding a fourth member to the rare group of objects known as sednoids. A sednoid is a rare type of ...
