... compounds, released by the destruction of dust particles in a hot and dynamic disk, aligns well with investigations into meteorites which also indicates that the proto-Solar System disk experienced high temperatures causing dust particles...
... and may be more widely distributed than thought. They also state that as water is lost easily to micro-meteorite impacts and the breakdown of H2O molecules by ultraviolet light, the detection of water within the micro cold...
... Apostolos and team, there is a chance that 101429 is just another asteroid, similar perhaps to ordinary chondrite meteorites, that became lunar-like in composition through millions or billions of years of space weathering. Alternatively, the object...
