Lunar impact glasses, formed during impact events when the regolith is quenched during
the ejecta's ballistic flight, are small samples whose information can lead to important …

The nature of organic matter in meteorites reveals information about early solar system
chemistry and the histories of parent bodies as recorded in the effects of physical and …

Over the past decade there has been a large increase in the number of automated camera
networks that monitor the sky for fireballs. One of the goals of these networks is to provide …

Aims. Asteroids have been exposed to impacts since their formation, and as a consequence
their surfaces are covered by small particles, pebbles, and boulders. The Japanese …

The brecciation and shock classification of 2280 ordinary chondrites of the meteorite thin
section collection at the Institut für Planetologie (Münster) has been determined. The shock …

The thermal history of asteroids is recorded by the radioisotopic ages of meteorites that
derive from them. Radioisotopic ages may date a number of events, such as the cooling of a …

Meteorite samples that land on earth can provide important information about asteroid and
meteors found in space. Thorough, multimodal, and multiscale microstructural analysis is …

In order to provide spectral ground truth data for remote sensing applications, we have
measured mid-infrared spectra (2–18 µm) of three typical, well-defined lithologies from the …

The meter-scale variations of material properties of the 20-m sized Chelyabinsk meteoroid
are critical for understanding why the meteoroid fragmented the way it did and caused the …

Abstract The Golden (British Columbia, Canada) meteorite fall occurred on October 4, 2021
at 0534 UT with the first recovered fragment (1.3 kg) landing on an occupied bed. The …
