Meteorite Crashes Into Georgia Home, Turns Out to Be 20 Million Years Older Than Earth

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-22 03:25:56

On a clear June day in Georgia, a blazing fireball suddenly fell out of the sky over the Atlanta metro area. The source of this spectacle was a 1-ton meteor that exploded in mid-air, sending a cherry tomato-sized fragment shooting through the roof of a McDonough home. Though no one knew it then, this space rock hailed from a time long before Earth had even formed. Using optical and electron microscopes, geologists at the University of Georgia analyzed 0.8 ounces (23 grams) of fragments recovere

Someone paid $5.3 million for a piece of Mars

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-07 08:15:02

Add this to the list of "things that might be fun if you had a buttload of money": Someone forked over $5.3 million in a Sotheby's auction to own a piece of Mars. The Red Planet meteorite was discovered in 2023 in a remote area of the Sahara Desert in Niger. Martian meteorites of any size are incredibly rare. To get here, an asteroid first hits the Red Planet to eject material from its surface. (Sotheby's says there are only 19 Martian craters large enough to have spit out this one.) That chunk

A Meteor Impact May Have Caused a Giant Landslide in the Grand Canyon

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-08 12:30:00

Researchers have long puzzled over the presence of driftwood and lake sediments in Stanton’s Cave in the eastern Grand Canyon, whose mouth sits 150 feet (45.7 meters) above the river. How could the material possibly have reached that height? According to Karl Karlstrom, a geologist from the University of New Mexico, it would have had to be carried by flood levels ten times bigger than any seen in the past several thousand years.

How to Watch the Southern Delta Aquariids and Perseids Meteor Showers

wired.com Gretchen Rundorff 2026-01-17 03:00:00

If you want to get into stargazing in 2025, there’s no better place to start than viewing a meteor shower. Meteor showers, or shooting stars, happen when Earth’s orbital path crosses a path of debris left by a comet and that material burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Watching a meteor shower is one of the most accessible ways to engage with the night sky. The next showers of the year are the Southern Delta Aquariids—which peak for about a week at the end of July—and the Perseids—which will pe

Earth gets pelted by meteors all the time, but only a few showers are large enough to warrant names. Bootids is one such meteor shower, and it generally occurs in June every year as the Earth moves through the tail of the 7P/Pons-Winnecke comet. For 2025, the best night to catch a potential glimpse of Bootids is this Friday, June 27. It isn't an easy meteor shower to spot. Its "radiant" -- the point in the sky from which the meteor shower appears to originate -- is in the constellation Boötes (
