Olivine fabric and microstructure in Northwest Africa (<span>NWA</span>) 7059 and Nova 018: Insights into ureilite deformation Open
Olivine is a major constituent in ureilites and commonly defines macroscopic fabric via shape‐preferred orientation of elongate grains. In this study, we examined olivine fabric (crystallographic preferred orientation, or CPO) and microstr…

Surveys of the scientific community on the existence of extraterrestrial life Open
During February–June 2024 we conducted four surveys among researchers regarding the likely existence of basic, complex, and intelligent extraterrestrial life. Our results offer a snapshot of community opinion and reveal a significant degre…

Impact origin of lunar zircon melt inclusions in Apollo impact melt breccia 14311 Open
Investigations of trapped melt inclusions in minerals can yield insights into the compositions and conditions of parent magmas. These insights are particularly important for detrital grains like many of the lunar zircons found in samples r…

Accessory mineral microstructure and chronology reveals no evidence for late heavy bombardment on the asteroid 4-Vesta Open
A long-standing paradigm in planetary science is that the inner Solar System experienced a period of intense and sustained bombardment between 4.2 and 3.9 Ga. Evidence of this period, termed the Late Heavy Bombardment is provided by the 40…

Early Meteoritic Records of Asteroidal Melt and Impact Environments Open
The characterization of meteorites formed in early melt and impact environments helps deepen our understanding of the processes involved in the formation and modification of terrestrial bodies in the solar system. The main objective of thi…

Accretionary mixing of a eucrite impactor and the regolith of the L chondrite parent body Open
Northwest Africa ( NWA ) 869 is the largest sample of chondritic regolith breccia, making it an ideal source for research on accretionary processes and primordial chemical mixing. One such process can be seen in detail through the first id…
