Two meteorites found in the Sahara show tantalizing similarities to the innermost planet, and while researchers say they are likely not direct samples, “one cannot rule out” the idea

The flash in the Georgia sky in June, described by witnesses as a fireball, traveled hundreds of millions of miles through space before entering the Earth’s atmosphere, eventually crashing into a home. “This one went through a house in McDonough, an the whole mass, we estimate, was probably like the size of a large cherry tomato,” Harris said.

Very few meteorites from this planet ever reach Earth and none have been scientifically proven. A study investigated two stones linked to Mercury.

The dinosaur skeleton, on the other hand, sparked a war among six bidders over six minutes. With a pre-auction estimate of $4 million to $6 million, it is one of only four known Ceratosaurus nasicornis skeletons and the only juvenile skeleton of the species, which resembles the Tyrannosaurus rex but is smaller.

A remarkable 2.35 billion year old meteorite found in Africa in 2023 has opened a new window into the Moon's volcanic history, filling a gap in our understanding of how Earth's closest neighbour evolved over billions of years.

The largest piece of Mars on Earth became the most valuable meteorite ever sold at auction at Sotheby’s annual ”Geek Week,” and a full Ceratosaurus skeleton fetched $30 million. Next up for bidding: an Apple computer hand-built by Steve Jobs.

Analysis of meteorite Northwest Africa 12264 suggests that we may have to alter our timeline of the early Solar System, potentially changing our models of planet formation. In 2018, a small meteorite was found in Northwest Africa.

A meteorite that struck near Winslow, Arizona, about 56,000 years ago may have triggered a massive landslide in the Grand Canyon, according to new research published in Geology by an
