Meteorite Club

We envision a future where meteoritical and planetary sciences advance humanity helping to grow our knowledge & build the foundations for space exploration

[Meteorite Club @MeteoriteClub]

Just like #meteorites, your dreams can soar from the cosmos! Embrace the power of change and let your aspirations fall into place. Let’s make the extraordinary happen together. #CollectMeteorites

This is how rocks form in space, by condensing of interstellar clouds.

#Science the tool to make sense of the world; to understand complex workings of #nature. How did the #universe begin, what triggered #life to form, and what lies in the #future for humanity. #Meteorites help us put the pieces of our past together!

Deep down under the ice in #Antarctica await deposits of Iron #meteorites that can reveal clues to the formation of the early solar system.

The @MeteoriteClub had a tremendously successful #meteorite hunting expedition in Vinales Valley Cuba. We documented #Meteorites found #insitu and took many interviews. Thank You for supporting our efforts in space exploration. #meteoritical #leadership #Meteorito #Cuba

Looks like a nice #lunar #anorthosite has been found by the #ANSMET team in #antarctic. Testing to confirm. Adds to the 700 or so found so far.

[Russ Finney @rfinney]

Fantastic! @NASA #ANSMET find that is probably a Lunar anorthosite (a #meteorite from the moon) https://t.co/IZUbN14fbw

On day 1 of #planetary materials class, we examined textures of #chondrites that have landed in #México & Texas 🇲🇽🇺🇸. Allende,
Axtell, and Nuevo Mercurio. #meteorites

@SoulOnJourney11 "Carborundum" is a silicon carbon compound found in naturally occurring form only in a minute quantity as the substance "moissanite" which was discovered in a meteorite from the Canyon Diablo crater in Arizona:

[Emily Lakdawalla @elakdawalla]

Okay: OTES! A thermal emission spectrometer. It sees minerals. They look like the meteorite Orgueil. At least if you can read spectra like Olivier can. To us structural geologists, these are "squiggly lines." But we love spectroscopists anyway. 8/n

#panspermia theory gets some legs by new #DNA expirement involving #meteorites and untraviolet radiation.

[Astro Mavericks @Astromavericks]

Scientists have created 2-deoxyribose (the sugar that makes up the “D” in DNA) by bombarding simulated meteor ice with ultraviolet radiation. via /r/#space https://t.co/ii5g6nG62z

A new image processing technique is giving scientists a chance to learn more about comets — which can yield information about our solar system's early history — using data from 10+ years ago. https://t.co/pZnAaWaZKo

The first UK expedition to search for meteorites in Antarctica is underway. Follow @UKAntarcticMets and https://t.co/vzYRsuBCPz for updates. Last I heard @Katie_H_Joy was at the southern tip of Chile waiting to fly even further south to the @BAS_News Rothera Research Station.

#meteorite inspired #style because you are passionate about #Mars research. @geologiststephy is dressed for the part with this stunning #Tissint #Martian thin section #dress. Credit goes to @terrapersona for creating this wearable masterpiece from the red planet.

[Stephanie E Suarez @geologiststephy]

Thank you to @terrapersona who designed this custom dress for me. It's a color microphotograph of the meteorite Tissint in cross polarized light. I'm conducting several isotopic analyses on Tissint for my Masters. ❤ #petrography #meteorites #geology
