Research Reveals Three Young Asteroid Families as Main Sources of Earth’s Meteorites
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
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...

Orcas Targeting Boats in Iberian Peninsula Might Be Practising Hunting Techniques
Recent research suggests that orcas in the Iberian Peninsula may be using yachts as practice targets rather than simply attacking for revenge or play. This theory proposes that young orcas are practising their hunting techniques on sailboats, particularly targeting the rudders. Since 2020, there have been numerous reports of orcas ramming and damag...

Cerebral Cortex of Developing Human Brain Mapped Using High-Quality MRI Scan Data
Scientists have successfully mapped the surface of the cerebral cortex of the young human brain in impressively high resolution. The mapping, done using high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, showed development in the key regions of the brain from two months before an individual's birth to two months after it.
