Meteoroid

In January 2014, a meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere in the Western Pacific, as evidenced by apparent vibrational signatures of the event in a seismic station in Papua New Guinea. Last year, scientists declared rubble recovered from the ocean floor as the rejectamenta of that event (and some even speculated it was a form of alien technology). But now, another team offers a different interpretation: the vibrations were caused by a truck on a nearby road, driving by at the same time the meteor plummeted through the…

An amazing event occurred in the evening skies of Texas, USA that left the local citizens terrified. On Wednesday, February 15, a gigantic fireball was seen zooming across the sky near the USA and Mexico border. McAllen, Texas got the best view of the event and many residents reported hearing loud boom and experienced their houses shaking as the fireball flew past in the sky. NASA, after running a preliminary analysis, believes that the fireball was caused by a meteoroid that exploded yesterday. As further examination…

Just a few short weeks ago, NASA officials spotted coolant leaking from the Soyuz, a Russian spacecraft attached to the International Space Station. After weeks of scrambling, the Russian government has finally shared plans on how it plans to carry out a rescue mission to the ISS to help bring its stranded astronauts home. According to a report shared by The Guardian, Moscow will now launch a new spacecraft to the International Space Station next month. This spacecraft will bring home three crew members…

The capsule on the International Space Station was crippled by a meteoroid just ahead of the crew departing for Earth, it has been revealed. After the horrific recent events when their spaceship's coolant leaked in such a dramatic fashion just ahead of their departure for Earth from the International Space Station, the stuck crew will be rescued by a new Russian space corporation Roscosmos' capsule, it has been announced. Roscosmos will launch a new spacecraft to bring some of the crew back to Earth. The…

The biggest earthquake ever recorded on Mars has uncovered layers in its crust that could signify a previous collision with a large object, such as a meteoroid. Previous data had suggested the possibility of a significant impact in the past, and these latest findings provide further evidence that could support this hypothesis. Credit: NASA / JPL-CaltechThe quake lasted four hours and identified layering in the crust that could indicate a meteoroid impact.The 4.7 magnitude temblor happened in May 2022 and released five…

ANI Washington, December 17The largest earthquake ever detected on Mars has revealed layers in its crust that could indicate past collision with a massive object, such as a meteoroid. Previous data have suggested the past occurrence of a large impact, and the findings offer evidence that might support this hypothesis.The research, led by UCLA planetary scientists and published in two papers in Geophysical Research Letters, could…

NASA’s InSight lander recorded one of the largest craters ever witnessed forming any place in the solar system. Where? On Mars. NASA's InSight lander has recorded one of the largest craters ever witnessed forming any place in the solar system. Where? On Mars. While observing the images and seismic data, NASA has documented many larger craters during the Mars mission, but this one is said to be the largest seen forming. While nearing the end of its life, NASA's InSight lander recorded a magnitude 4 quake on the Red…

The impact crater, formed December 24, 2021, by a meteoroid strike in the Amazonis Planitia region of Mars, is about 490 feet (150 meters) across, as seen in this annotated image taken by the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE camera) aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The NASA InSight Lander has detected a rare moment of a meteoroid strike on Mars. Know what it revealed about the red planet. While meteoroids, small pieces of asteroids or comets, keep hitting and getting burnt in the upper atmosphere of the Earth, an actual strike to the ground is a rare event. If these meteoroids survive the atmosphere, and hit the Earth, they are called meteorites. These strikes happen on every planet in the solar system. This is why the latest observation by the NASA InSight Lander, which went to…
