Where do meteorites of different types come from? In a review paper in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, ...

Donaldjohanson, a main belt asteroid, could be a relic of a cosmic collision that took place 150 million years ago.

New Southwest Research Institute-led modeling indicates the main belt asteroid (52246) Donaldjohanson may have formed about 150 million years ago when a larger parent asteroid broke apart; its orbit ...

"This has been a decade-long detective story, with each recorded meteorite fall providing a new clue," said one astronomer.

Jenniskens and Devillepoix find that low iron (L chondrite) and very low iron (LL chondrite) meteorites come to us primarily from the inner main belt. Scientists have long linked the LL chondrites to ...

Jenniskens and Devillepoix also found a group of H-chondrites on steep orbits that appear to originate from the Nele asteroid family in the central main belt, which has a dynamical age of about 6 ...

Although NASA's Lucy spacecraft's upcoming encounter with the asteroid Donaldjohanson is primarily a mission rehearsal for ...

In a similar fashion, the researchers were able to connect another group of H chondrites arriving on steep orbits to the 6-million-year-old Nele asteroid family in the central main belt and a ...

Donaldjohanson (DJ), which is about to be studied by NASA’s Lucy spacecraft in an upcoming flyby on April 20, 2025? This | ...

Donaldjohanson formed about 150 million years ago when a much larger asteroid broke apart. Since then, its orbit and spin ...
