The discovery of amino acids in meteorites has presented two clues to the origin their processing subsequent formation: a slight preference for left-handedness some them, and isotopic anomalies constituent atoms. In this article we present theoretical results from Supernova Neutrino Amino Acid Processing (SNAAP) model, which uses electron anti-neutrinos magnetic fields source objects such as su...

Exotic meteoritic phenomena: The Tunguska event and anomalous low altitude fireballs – manifestations of the mirror world? Abstract There are a number of very puzzling meteoritic events including (a) The Tunguska event. It is the only known example of a low altitude atmospheric explosion. It is also the largest recorded event. Remarkably no fragments or significant chemical traces have ever bee...

Introduction: Recent work has shown that sub-micron car-bonaceous spheres (" nanoglobules ") constitute a microstructur-ally distinct, ubiquitous form of extraterrestrial organic carbon. Nanoglobules have been reported to occur in the insoluble organic matter (IOM) of carbonaceous chondrites, in the matrices of primitive chondrites, in interplanetary dust particles and in Wild-2 samples [1-4]. ...

it is well-known that deficiency or over exposure to various elements has noticeable effects on human health. the effect of an element is determined by several characteristics, including absorption, metabolism, and degree of interaction with physiological processes. iron is an essential element for almost all living organisms as it participates in a wide variety of metabolic processes, includin...

Meteor Crater of Arizona, three-quarters of a mile across and' six hundred feet deep,, with its walls of tilted and faulted strata and its encircling high rim of pulverized and brecciated rock, is a spectacle for the student of land forms, of geologic structures, and of katamorphic processes. Standing on its rim, one is imp,ressed by the fact that craterforming meteorites are extraterrestrial a...

Introduction: Crystallization of the lunar magma ocean occurred ~4.4 Ga [e.g., 1-4] and produced three principal magma source regions [5-6]. These sources are characterized chemically by low titanium (Ti), high Ti, and high potassium, rare earth element, and phosphorous (KREEP) abundances. The KREEP component was produced after nearly complete solidification of the magma ocean and is highly enr...
