Carbonaceous chondrites come from asteroidal bodies that due to their size, generally inferior to hundred kilometres, never melted, and neither suffered internal chemical differentiation as ...

Those inclusions are exciting: They seemed bluish and reddish, Jaumann said, and appeared to be similar in size to the inclusions found in carbonaceous chondrites found on Earth. That’s a big deal.

A significant carbonaceous chondrites meteorite hasn't landed on earth in 50 years, since one arrived in Australia in 1969. It went on to become one of the most studied meteorites in the world.

Certain carbon-based molecules could be used to trace extreme pressure and temperature environments in the universe that are caused by supernovae or colliding planets, thanks to new research carried ...

Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are rich in amino acids and amines (the latter are nitrogen-bearing organic compounds) that are crucial components of proteins and biological cells in life on ...

Geological clues suggest that the space rock that created Chicxulub crater was a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite. Around 66 million years ago, an asteroid slammed into the Yucatan Peninsula and ...
