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 ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Geminids are initially cracked by atmospheric thermal stress
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Geminids have the highest bulk density of all major meteor showers and their mechanical strength appears to depend on their mass. They are also the most active annual shower, enabling detailed studies of the dependence of their physical and ...

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Meteoroid Engineering Model (MEM) 3: NASAs Newest Meteoroid Model [PDF]
Meteoroid impacts threaten spacecraft and astronauts at all locations within the Solar System. At certain altitudes in low-Earth orbit, orbital debris dominates the risk, but meteoroids are more significant within 250 km of the Earths surface and above ...

CI chondrite Oued Chebeika 002 links asteroids Bennu and Ryugu to common parent body
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract CI chondrites are a compositionally primitive group of meteorites that have undergone extensive aqueous alteration, providing insights into the evolution of primitive planetesimals. Oued Chebeika 002 is the most pristine CI chondrite to date.

Deepest ever photographed Geminid with small but non-negligible terminal mass
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe report an instrumental observation of the very exceptional Geminid fireball that was observed in the scope of the Czech part of the European Fireball Network (EN) on 13 December, 2012 at 4h12m59.4s UT.
