Meteorites

Researchers have unveiled a light of pollution map of the U.S., revealing areas where you can still find "pristine" skies.

The Perseids are the result of debris being released from the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle as it speeds past the Earth in its orbit around the sun.

"The formation of the moon and the origin of Earth's water are two of the fundamental open questions in cosmo-chemistry," said the lead author of a new study.

Multiple pilots reported fast-moving bright lights flying alongside their aircraft.

Several eyewitnesses in the southeastern United States reported seeing the bright object.

The space rock hails from the explosive dawn of the solar system.

Scientists were in a race against time to find the fragments.

Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun.

Scientists are scrabbling to find the valuable rocks before they are degraded by sea water.

"That's actually what I would expect them to find." NASA's quest for exterrestrial life may have a fungus problem.

It's going home.

"It's like a little cradle inside of the rock."

The rocks were hiding in fields of snow and ice.

The Michigan meteor exploding didn't cause an earthquake, but it did make waves.

You'll need a magnet, a metal detector and...the lid of a toilet tank.

New technology and new missions are making it more likely every day we'll finally spot life beyond Earth.

The meteorites may have come from a potentially habitable asteroid.

Metalworkers in the ancient world would hunt for iron from meteorites to create rare weapons and artefacts.

Scientists now think Europe was formed when a meteor crashed to earth millions of years ago.

Before the Iron Age, there was the Space Iron Age.

The fireball was visible across parts of the eastern U.S. and Canada.

The event was captured by amateur astronomers.

A "dark blue stone resembling a diamond" was found at the scene of the man's death.

It was forged around the dawn of our solar system.

Chemical composition gave the meteor its green color, according to the Astronomical Society of Thailand.

The asteroid will pass relatively close to our planet.

The annual Perseid meteor shower was captured in photos from around the world last night.

A little-known band of scientists are scanning the sky for killer asteroids and drawing up plans to save the world.

Bridgmanite is buried deep in the planet's lower mantle, making it nearly impossible to study.

Scientists believe a falling piece of asteroid caused the crater
