Scientists discover hydrogen in a rare meteorite, suggesting Earth had the ingredients to make water from the start.

Oxford researchers have unearthed a cosmic surprise showing that the hydrogen needed for water was embedded in the very rocks ...

Scientists speculate that asteroids colliding with Earth delivered water—an essential building block of life—but new research suggests the planet didn't need the delivery.

“We now see that 12 of the iron-rich ordinary chondrite meteorites (H chondrites) originated from a debris field called “Koronis,” which is located low in the pristine main belt,” said ...

Some of these fragments eventually enter Earth's orbit. One of the strongest connections is between H-chondrite meteorites ...

It challenges conventional thought of the "fragile" carbonaceous chondrite class it belongs to. This meteorite has captured people's imaginations since it shot through Earth's atmosphere in April ...

Experts from the University of Oxford now think that the rocky material which built our planet had the elements it needed to ...

Scientists from the University of Oxford analyzed a rare type of meteorite known as an enstatite chondrite ... think that some of the total amount of H (hydrogen) in the meteorite is due to ...

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 ...

El Médano 128 meteorite, an ordinary chondrite (group L), found in the Atacama desert in 2011 by a team of researchers from the Centre de recherche et d'enseignement des géosciences de l ...

The researchers found that the majority of the hydrogen contained within the meteorite was intrinsic, rather than being ...
