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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

New work offers fresh evidence supporting the supernova shock wave theory of our solar system’s origin. According to one longstanding theory, our Solar System’s formation was triggered by a shock wave ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This illustration shows the creation of an asteroid family. Ejected fragments from catastrophic collisions of asteroids between ...

In A Nutshell Arrokoth, a snowman-shaped object billions of miles from Earth, is one of the oldest and least-disturbed relics of the early solar system Scientists have long debated whether its two ...
