“The carbonaceous chondrite will react completely differently from an ordinary chondrite — it’s much more porous, it’s much more light and it will absorb much more of an impact if you send ...

Therefore, the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was probably a carbonaceous chondrite, an ancient space rock that often contains water, clay and organic (carbon-bearing) compounds.

More carbonaceous chondrite material in this asteroid was determined to be only about ~21%; comets are more like dirty snowballs than they are like rocks. ESA/Rosetta/NAVCAM, CC BY-SA IGO 3.0.

Chronology of aqueous activity on chondrite parent bodies constrains their accretion times and thermal histories. Radiometric 53Mn–53Cr dating has been successfully applied to aqueously formed ...

Katie Paterson, a Scottish artist known for deeply research-based works, continues her universal explorations with two shows ...

The type of meteorite that produces the fragments that littered Winchcombe was made of carbonaceous chondrite. These types of meteorites contain extremely old and largely untainted material from a ...

Some of the carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, they said, contain significant amounts of water as well as small organic molecules, and also produce energetic gamma rays that can drive the chemical ...

Back then, carbonaceous chondrite after carbonaceous chondrite would have encroached on the inner planets and battered their surfaces. So, ...
