We were up bright and early today at our usual getting-up time of about 5.15am. After we had breakfast and got the camp ready we left for more filming and Meteorite hunting around Camel Donga. All of the meteorites here are related to each other and came from the same parent meteoroid, which broke up as [...] ... Source: piclib.nhm.ac.uk --- 2 days ago
Setting up camp in the Nullarbor desert is a whole new experience. We sleep in ‘swags’ - single person tents which come with a three-inch thick mattress, so even sleeping on the ground is comfortable. Putting the swag on a camp bed is a whole new level of luxury! The swags also close up completely [...] ... Source: piclib.nhm.ac.uk --- 2 days ago
We left Forrest and set off with the BBC team to a place called Camel Donga, our next Meteorite collecting location. Camel Donga’s only a couple of hundred kilometres from Forrest, but it took us a while because the BBC were doing quite a bit of filming along the way. It was VERY hot, over [...] ...

Meteorites. Credit: NASA Astronomers studying ways to deal with incoming near- Earth asteroids (NEA) that might be on a collision course with our planet want to know in detail what these space rocks are made of. The better they "know the enemy" the better they can come up with ways to destroy or change the course of NEAs. Since we've only studied a couple of asteroids up close with spacecraft, the best way to learn more about the composition of asteroids should be fairly easy: just look at meteorites that fall to Earth, which are small chunks of asteroids. But in doing so, researchers discovered quite a huge discrepancy. The vast majority of asteroids that whiz by Earth are of a type that matches only a tiny fraction of the meteorites that most frequently hit our planet. This difference has had astronomer scratching their heads. But a team of researchers has now found what it believes is the answer to the puzzle. The smaller rocks that most often fall to Earth, it seems, come straight in from the main asteroid belt out between Mars and Jupiter , rather than from the near-Earth asteroid population. (...)
