Planets around other stars can help answer one of the greatest mysteries: How did we get here? How did the spinning disk of material left behind by our sun’s birth form our planet and its seven ...

While the rocky planets of our solar system started forming at the same time, their divergent evolution led to varied surface environments and potential for habitability. A new article in Reviews of ...

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases – the molecular “letters” of life – have been detected in samples from the asteroid Ryugu. Asteroid particles offer a glimpse into the chemical ...

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 ...

In this study, NRM measurements suggest that the observed characteristics of Ryugu particles is a chemical remanent magnetization, likely acquired during growth of framboidal magnetite that occurred ...
