Archives of impact: The politics of craters on Earth

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
This paper examines Earth’s 195 confirmed impact craters as archives, exploring their cataloguing and presentation as heritage sites. It argues Western scientific framings using military language and emphasising catastrophe overlook settler colonialism’s violent histories and marginalise indigenous earth‐sky cosmologies.

Lunar ejecta as the missing piece to resolving lunar cratering asymmetry

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The leading-trailing asymmetry in lunar crater distribution provides a critical record of inner Solar System dynamics, yet the long-standing discrepancy between the observed higher asymmetry and lower theoretical predictions indicates a gap in our ...

Photographic fireball networks [PDF]

Long term radar observations of any meteor shower yield good data for a study of the features of its cross section structure in detail. The hourly rates of meteor echoes represent usually the basic data from which shower characteristics are derived ...

Accretion of Meteoric Organic Matter at the Surface of Mars and Potential Production of Methane by Ultraviolet Radiation

The Planetary Science Journal
In this study, a comprehensive model of the meteoric organic cycle on Mars for the current geological period is developed, which characterizes the ablation of exogenous organic matter in the upper atmosphere, the accretion of intact carbon at the surface,

Achondrites in meteor data: Spectra, dynamics, and physical properties of candidate aubrite and eucrite impactors

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Meteor spectroscopy presents new opportunities for investigating the diversity of small Solar System bodies and capturing the real distribution of present material types. In this work, we analyzed a sample of 180 higher-resolution meteor spectra from the

The effect of early diagenetic processes on the quantification of fossil micrometeorite abundance and flux in the geological record

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 551-564, April 2026.
Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Solar System material reaching neighboring star systems

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. In our Solar System, few macroscopic objects have been observed to be moving in hyperbolic orbits and, thus, they must have originated from interstellar space. Some meteoroids are also suspected to have an interstellar origin.

Review of asteroid, meteor, and meteorite‐type links

Meteoritics & Planetary Science
With the goal to determine the origin of our meteorites in the asteroid belt, video and photographic observations of meteors have now tracked 75 meteorite falls.
