Antarctic Micrometeorites Provide Clues to Solar System Formation

[/caption] Researchers sifting through the pristine, cold snow in Antarctica have found micrometeorites that contain a bit of a surprise. The two micrometeorites, known as particles 19 and 119, contain extremely large amounts of carbon as well as excesses of deuterium. While this high organic content usually comes from distant interstellar space where molecular clouds … Continue reading Antarctic Micrometeorites Provide Clues to Solar System Formation
