Researchers have found cosmic dust in ocean sediments that indicate the Earth was enveloped in the debris of an asteroidal collision 8.27 million years ago. The break-up of a large asteroid caused the biggest cosmic dust storm in the last 80 million years and left a blanket of material on the Ear...

The extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago can be traced to a collision between two monster rocks in the asteroid belt nearly 100 million years earlier, scientists report on Wednesday. The smash drove a giant sliver of rock into Earth's path, eventually causing the climate-changing impa...

Ancient geologic conditions in southern Sweden were ideal to preserve meteorites that fell to Earth about half a billion years ago. Researcher Birger Schmitz (working as a visiting professor at Rice University and now at the University of Lund, Sweden) and his colleagues in Göteborg, Sweden have...
