Measuring 43mm, the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite is made of iron meteorite on the dial, giving it a scratched, rock-like texture and appearance. It has ribbon-like flecks running across ...

To reach this conclusion, the team studied iron meteorites, which are remnants of the metallic cores of some of the first planetary building blocks in our solar system. Their findings showed that ...

This is a science story of sheer luck. A meteorite made “auditory history” in July 2024 when a Ring doorbell camera captured footage of the space rock impacting just outside a door.
