Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.

Astronomers produced the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and planets are formed.
