• An Extended Barrage of Asteroid Impacts Made Earth Too Hot to Form Continents
  2026-07-02
  New research shows that repeated impacts on Earth during the Hadean eon prevented thick and stable crustal material from forming. The heat from these impacts penetrated deep into the planet, and along with radiogenic heating, delayed the formation of a solid crust.
• Earth Microbes Can Survive Individual Martian Hazards—and Evade Astronaut Immune Systems
  2026-06-30
  Hopefully, we’re about to travel back to the Moon relatively soon. And while the original “giant leap for mankind” was taken by a human, Neil Armstrong brought a plethora of other forms of life along with him.

• A rare meteorite found in the Sahara may be a surviving shard of a lost Moon-sized world — one that formed beside the young Sun, followed a path unlike Earth or Mars, and was smashed apart while the planets were still being built.
  2026-07-03
  A rock about the size of a fist, found lying in the Sahara, may be a surviving shard of a lost world nearly as large as the Moon. According to a new study, it formed beside the young Sun out of ingredients different from those that built Earth and Mars, ...

• Could this asteroid be a piece of the moon? A Chinese spacecraft is about to find out
  2026-07-03
  The moon is not the only natural object traveling through space alongside Earth. Several small asteroids travel around the sun in near lockstep with our planet. And just like Earth, these space rocks also take a year to complete a full orbit. Today, we know of eight such "quasi-moons" or ...

  2026-06-09
  Asteroids and planetesimals regularly bombarded Earth between about 4.6 billion and 3.5 billion years ago, during the Hadean and Archean eons. Because few rocks today are more than 4 billion years old, our understanding of the planet's environment during that time is limited. However, samples from the moon and its ...

• Sound waves reconstruct Alaska fireball path after cameras miss key details
  2026-06-30
  When a bright fireball streaked across the Alaska sky last spring, the usual tools scientists rely on to track such events—cameras and satellites—did not provide a detailed picture. But the meteoroid left behind something else: low-frequency sound waves that traveled hundreds of miles and were captured by a dense network ...

• How asteroids may have sparked life on Earth
  2026-07-02
  Ancient asteroid impacts may have done more than reshape Earth's surface—they could have helped spark life itself. New computer models show the collisions created enormous underground hydrothermal systems by cracking the planet's crust and allowing hot water to flow through it. These long-lasting, life-friendly environments may have covered much of ...

  A new study suggests Earth may have been sending tiny hitchhikers to Venus for billions of years. Researchers found that asteroid impacts could launch microbes into space, where some might survive the journey and end up suspended in Venus' clouds. If future missions detect life there, there's a surprising chance ...
