#meteorites — Public Fediverse posts

@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.

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.

METEORITE QUESTIONS, an ongoing thread. 🧵

I am a meteorite collector, dealer, and hunter with 20 years of experience. I have worked with numerous universities and scientific institutions.👨‍🔬

Ask me anything about meteorites and get an informed answer free of AI bullshit.

If you have a question, post it here in the replies. No matter how old this thread is, I will reply.

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.

Unlike #Earth, our #moon is subjected to a constant #bombardment by #meteorites of all sizes, due in part to the lack of a comparable #atmosphere. However, it is rare for larger craters to be discovered immediately after an #impact. Thanks to NASA's #LunarReconnaissanceOrbiter Camera, a larger impact in late spring 2024 could be described in more detail.
