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/

@Thorium I tried adding you again and it's still saying your server doesn't support collections. I'll retry from time to time.
I'm kinda surprised nobody else has joined up. I know there must be other meteorite people around here who wouldn't mind being on the list. I just have to find them.
If anyone #meteorite people are here, post a reply to join up. Let's make this into a legit "group" for discussions.

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.
