    If we need more evidence that our Solar System is not representative of other solar systems, take a look at BD+05 4868. It's a binary star consisting of a K-dwarf and an M-dwarf about 140 light-years away. It's not just the binary star sets the system apart from ours. A ...

  • 2025-04-16
    There is a large diversity in the chemical composition of astronomical objects such as planets, comets, circumstellar envelopes, or galactic gas clouds. One great challenge in astrochemistry is to understand in detail how this diversity arises from the cosmic backdrop of the cycling of matter between star birth and destruction, ...

    A QUT-led study analyzing data from NASA's Perseverance rover has uncovered compelling evidence of multiple mineral-forming events just beneath the Martian surface—findings that bring scientists one step closer to answering the profound question: did life ever exist on Mars?
  • 2025-04-16
    A team of researchers at the University of Oxford have uncovered crucial evidence for the origin of water on Earth. Using a rare type of meteorite, known as an enstatite chondrite, which has a composition analogous to that of the early Earth (4.55 billion years ago), they have found a ...
  • 2025-04-14
    An international team of researchers may have answered one of space science's long-running questions—and it could change our understanding of how life began. Carbon-rich asteroids are abundant in space yet make up less than 5% of meteorites found on Earth.

    Could microbes survive in the permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) of the moon? This is what a recent study presented at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC 2025) hopes to address as a team of researchers from the United States and Canada investigated the likelihood of long-term survival for ...

    For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that certain lichen species can survive Mars-like conditions, including exposure to ionizing radiation, while maintaining a metabolically active state.

  • 2025-04-23
    NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered a missing piece in the puzzle of Mars’ past atmosphere. Scientists discovered siderite—an iron-rich carbonate mineral—in layered rock near the surface of Gale Crater, suggesting that Mars once had enough carbon dioxide to support liquid water. This could explain why previous attempts failed to find ...

    A brush-and-sample mission had to be skipped as NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover found itself on unstable ground, but this opened up a unique opportunity to conserve energy for an exciting week ahead. Scientists are targeting fascinating Martian features called boxwork formations—fractured ridges likely shaped by ancient fluid activity. Power Trade-Off: ...

    NASA’s Lucy spacecraft has captured striking images of asteroid Donaldjohanson, revealing it to be a contact binary with an unusual “ice cream cone” shape. This unexpected geological complexity offers insights into the early solar system. Although not a primary target, this encounter served as a full-scale test for Lucy’s instruments ...

GADA METEORĪTS
2025
Meteoriti.LV vietne tiks pakāpeniski papildināta ar plašu pamatinformāciju par meteorītiku un ar to saistitām astronomijas nozarēm. Uzzināsiet, vai "meteorīti dabā sastopami retāk par dimantiem", cik tie ir veci un kāda ir to izcelsme. Atradīsiet atbildes uz jautājumiem: Vai meteorīti ir bīstami? Kādi meteorīti atrodami Latvijā un kur tos var apskatīt? Vai Latvijā ir vērts meklēt meteorītus? Ko meteorītu izpēte pastāsta mums par Zemes un Saules sistēmas izcelšanos? Ceram, ka tas radīs vēlmi arī jums pašiem novērot Zemes kosmiskos viesus - meteorus, un, varbūt, pat kļūt par īstiem meteorītu medniekiem!
Veiksmīgu novērošanu!
