Orbital Capture of Ejecta into Periodic Orbits around Binary Asteroid (65803) Didymos
The successful impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft on Dimorphos enabled the first-ever extensive observation of a postimpact ejecta tail from a binary asteroid system.

Early evolutionary history of the seed
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

Depletion of sulfur on the surface of asteroids and the moon [PDF]
Abstract— Data from the X‐ray and γ‐ray spectrometers onboard the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft were used to constrain the chemical and mineralogical composition of asteroid 433 Eros (McCoy et al. 2001). The bulk composition appears to be consistent with that of L to H chondrites (Nittler et al. 2001). However, there appeared to be a

Widespread Impact‐Induced Crustal Permeability on the Early Earth
Abstract The early Earth (i.e., Archean and Hadean Eons, 2.5–4.0 and 4.0–4.5 Ga, respectively) experienced frequent cosmic bombardment. Impacts have been shown to stimulate crustal alteration, for instance via hydrothermal systems active for up to millions of years post‐impact.

An adaptive guidance algorithm for close approach to and precision landing on uncooperative low-gravity objects (e.g. asteroids) is proposed. The trajectory, updated by means of a minimum fuel optimal control problem solving, is expressed in a polynomial
