Ancient Moon dust, meteorite traces and Apollo samples are helping NASA scientists rethink where Earth’s water truly came ...

How did meteorite impacts on the Moon influence water being delivered to Earth when both planetary bodies were forming? This is what a recent study publish | Space ...

New research suggests Earth’s water came from sources other than meteorites, challenging long-standing theories on planetary ...

NASA research using Apollo lunar regolith data refines the Moon’s impact record and places limits on meteorite contributions to Earth’s water over geologic time.

For a long time, scientists assumed that Earth's water was delivered by asteroids and comets billions of years ago. This coincided with the Late Heavy Bombardment (ca. 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago), a ...

A long-standing idea in planetary science is that water-rich meteorites arriving late in Earth's history could have delivered a major share of Earth's water. A new study by Universities Space Research ...

Asteroid impacts with global consequences are vastly rarer, especially compared to the frequency with which they appear in ...

NASA is closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4 after scientists identified a potential lunar impact path in 2032. While it won’t destroy the Moon, the event could reshape its surface and change how ...

(Phys.org)—Earth scientist Nick Teanby with the University of Bristol in the U.K. has come up with a novel way to measure seismic waves traveling through the under-surface of Mars—use data from ...

A mile-wide asteroid known as 2005 UK1 will safely pass Earth on Jan. 12, 2026, at 32 times the moon’s distance, posing no danger to the planet.

There are no reports from any government agency confirming a meteor or asteroid strike in the Midland area. Neither NASA nor NOAA reported a meteor impact locally.
