"Meteorites are often denser than Earth rocks, contain metal, and are magnetic. We can also look for things like a fusion crust that forms during entry into Earth's atmosphere. Finally, we can use ...

Despite the team's success in dating the water-rock interaction, the researchers don't think Mars was teeming with water at ...

But rock has deep temporal roots, and the meteorite that reached Earth is an igneous rock that dates back 1.4 billion years. That much time is more difficult to understand, but science is at its ...
