The Meteorites, by Helen Gordon
A longer version of this review will be published in the Ancillary Review of Books sometime later in 2026, but here's the short version. I liked The Meteorites so much. Helen Gordon’s narrative (subtitled 'Encounters with Outer Space and Deep Time' just so you're warned) begins with a meteoroid’s birth, somewhere between Mars and Jupiter in the asteroid belt, and its approach to a blue planet inconveniently in the way of its orbital path. A meteoroid is the rock in flight, called a […]https://katemacdonald.net/2026/07/28/the-meteorites-by-helen-gordon/

Sugars are essential #biomolecules, serving as metabolic fuels, nucleic acid backbone components and structural or energy-storage polymers.
A central question in origin-of-life research is how monosaccharides formed on the primitive Earth, as laboratory experiments under #prebiotic conditions yield insufficient concentrations.
The detection of #ribose, #glucose and other monosaccharides in #asteroids and #meteorites suggests an exogenous origin, possibly in the interstellar medium (ISM) before meteoritic parent-body formation.
However, no #sugar has been observed in the ISM so far.
Now astronomers report the discovery of #erythrulose, a chiral four-carbon ketose, in the ISM.
Erythrulose appears to be at least eight times more abundant than analogous three-carbon sugars, which remain undetected in our ultrasensitive observations.
Quantum chemical and astrochemical models indicate that erythrulose forms efficiently on interstellar dust grains from simpler two-carbon aldehydes and alcohols.
As ketoses readily isomerize into aldoses in aqueous conditions, interstellar erythrulose could have contributed to the sugar inventory available for early metabolic and replication processes.

The Chicxulub impact was a quick and catastrophic event with lasting consequences. Not talking about the thing with the dinosaurs - it drove significant hydrothermal activity for 8 million years across the entire region.

There are many types of meteorites, but a bunch of them might have had a common origin in a region just past Jupiter, where planetesimals formed 2–4 million years after solar system formation began.

I went out into the garden at 10:30pm in the dark to observe the meteorites. I gave myself time for my eyes to adjust. I wrapped up warm. Since I saw exactly zero bright flashes streaking through the heavens here's a picture of a cake i made recently #physics #astronomy #crushing #disappoint #cake #meteorites

Analysing the sample preparation process in meteorites and its impact on the pretreatment of returned samples to Earth: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0883292726000296?via%3Dihub -> Scientists Found Literal Ink From Ballpoint Pens in Martian #Meteorites: https://gizmodo.com/scientists-found-literal-ink-from-ballpoint-pens-in-martian-meteorites-2000746996 - this doesn't devalue scientific research thus far, but we might need a more unified approach for cleaning important samples, the study says.
