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

Christian Varady was watching the sky outside his Cantonment home when he saw a color-changing fireball fall into the neighborhood.

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.

A martian meteorite — the largest single piece of rock from Mars known to be on Earth — just sold at auction for $5.3 million.

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.
