  • Phosphorus Grains in Ryugu Samples Offer Insights into Earth’s Early Life Chemistry
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Wednesday October 23, 2024
    Scientists have discovered phosphorus-rich grains in samples from the asteroid Ryugu, brought back by Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission. These grains, thought to have come from the outer Solar System, may have interacted with early Earth’s water, releasing essential nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. This interaction could have played a role in th...

  • Research Reveals Three Young Asteroid Families as Main Sources of Earth’s Meteorites
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Tuesday October 22, 2024
    A recent study reveals that three asteroid families—the Karin, Koronis, and Massalia—are responsible for around 70% of the meteorites that land on Earth. These families, formed from past collisions in the main asteroid belt, have a higher number of fragments due to their relatively young age. The findings shed light on the origins of meteorites...

  • Major Meteorite Discoveries Reveal Origins From Three Asteroid Families
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Friday October 18, 2024
    An international research team has revealed that 70% of known meteorite falls originate from just three young asteroid families: Karin, Koronis, and Massalia. These families were formed by collisions in the main asteroid belt approximately 5.8, 7.5, and 40 million years ago. The Massalia family alone accounts for 37% of meteorites. This significant...

  • Taurid Meteor Stream Unlikely to Contain Dangerous Asteroids, New Study Suggests
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Thursday October 17, 2024
    A recent study led by Quanzhi Ye, an astronomer at the University of Maryland, reveals that the Taurid Meteoroid Complex, a debris stream linked to past Earth impacts, poses less danger than previously thought. Ye's team found fewer large asteroids in the stream, reducing the risk of a catastrophic collision with Earth. While these findings offer r...

  • Dwarf Planet Ceres Once Hosted a Muddy Ocean Below Its Icy Surface
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Tuesday October 8, 2024
    Recent research indicates that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, likely harboured a muddy ocean beneath its icy crust. Advanced computer simulations suggest that its surface features and gravity measurements point to a past rich in ice. With its proximity to Earth, Ceres presents a promising target for further exploration, making it t...

  • Study Reveals Ant Agriculture Began 66 Million Years Ago
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Monday October 7, 2024
    A recent study reveals that ant agriculture originated 66 million years ago, following the asteroid impact that led to the dinosaurs' extinction. This event allowed fungi to flourish in the aftermath, as they thrived on decaying plant matter. It was found that while the initial partnership formed post-impact, ants did not develop advanced farming t...
