New Insight into the Compositional Diversity of the Asteroid Belt from Micrometeorites | Planetary ...
Primitive astromaterials (i.e., primitive meteorites, interplanetary dust particles, and micrometeorites) preserve the only surviving samples of the fundamental building blocks of our solar system, thus providing a unique window into its origins and evolution.
Unmelted micrometeorites retain pre-atmospheric records of their parent bodies. Laboratory studies show that many micrometeorites have textural, geochemical, and mineralogical affinities with known classes of primitive meteorites, indicating a similar origin, i.e.
DANGER! Aircraft-sized asteroid heading for Earth tomorrow | Tech News
The Asteroid 2020 PT4 will just miss Earth on September 14, which is tomorrow at a distance of 7.1 million kilometers. It is travelling at a staggering speed of 39,024 kilometers per hour. The asteroid is nearly the size of a commercial aircraft with a width of nearly 120 feet.
Asteroid 2020 PT4 is part of the Apollo group of asteroids. According to the-sky.org, this asteroid takes almost 734 days to complete one orbit of the Sun, during which its farthest distance from the Sun is 355 million kilometers and nearest distance is 122 million kilometers.
This CSI Method Can Identify Asteroid Impact Sites On Earth
A team of researchers was able to use crime scene investigation methods to determine asteroid impact locations on Earth. It is quite challenging to estimate the number asteroids that have struck Earth. The majority of craters have been eroded and eliminated as our planet evolved.
Sikhote-Alin is the youngest crater-strewn landscape on our planet. It was formed by an asteroid impact in far-eastern Russia in 1947. There are numerous examples of such asteroid strikes. In the past 11,650 years, just 30 percent of Holocene asteroid impact craters have been found.
Now Desk: Back to pleasant weather this week and NASA is aiming for an asteroid

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - First Alert Meteorologist Justin Bradford says pleasant weather will return following a chilly start. Monday served as an early appetizer to the upcoming fall season and today still has a bit of that flavor.
Plus the headlines you may have missed, including heavy flooding in the Upper Midwest and NASA plans to shoot an asteroid with a satellite.
NASA sets date to crash spacecraft in an attempt to deflect asteroid
NASA is planning to crash its Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft into an asteroid on September 26.
It is part of a test to see if scientists can alter the path of Didymos. The small asteroid is a half-mile wide and has an elliptical orbit around the solar system.

Why Harvard Astronomer Avi Loeb Believes the 'Oumuamua Interstellar Asteroid Is an Alien Ship
Shiny, reddish in color, oblong, somewhere between 300 and 3,000 feet in length and moving at an eye-watering 16 miles a second, the object zoomed into our system and past the sun.
Astronomers were baffled by this object, which they named "`Oumuamua." That's Hawaiian for "scout." No one knew for sure what `Omuamua is—or isn't.
Did Volcanic Eruptions Drive Dinosaurs to Extinction? | Discover Magazine
Species extinctions are a normal part of the process of evolution, but they sometimes become so numerous and so sudden that they transform into what scientists call a " mass extinction event .
Each of the five extinctions, and especially the dinosaur die-off, has inspired countless scientific explanations. One of the most accepted is the theory that the collisions of comets and asteroids into the surface of the Earth spewed enormous amounts of ash and dust into the atmosphere.
