Ever Wonder Why Some Meteor Showers Are So Unpredictable?
April 16, 2025, Mountain View, CA -- Why do comets and their meteoroid streams weave in and out of Earth's orbit and their orbits disperse over time? In a paper published online in the journal Icarus this week, two SETI Institute researchers show that this is not due to the random pull of the planets, but rather the kick they receive from a moving Sun.

In The Pinball World Of Asteroids
March 31, 2025, Mountain View, CA -- In April 2019, rare primitive meteorites fell near the town of Aguas Zarcas in northern Costa Rica. In an article published online in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, an international team of researchers describe the circumstances of the fall and show that mudball meteorites are not necessarily weak.

New Meteor Shower In The Constellation Cassiopeia
In the early morning of September 4, there was a brief meteor shower outburst visible over California and Arizona with a radiant in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was recorded by low-light video cameras in the CAMS networks led by Peter Jenniskens (SETI Institute) and Nick Moskovitz (Lowell Observatory). The outburst revealed a weak annual shower that had not been mapped before, with a possible earlier outburst in 2014. The shower was caused by the crumbs of a yet-to-be discovered comet in a …

Osiris-Rex To Deliver Bennu’S Parcel Sunday!
In 2016, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft embarked on a mission to the asteroid Bennu to collect a sample from the asteroid’s surface and return it to Earth. The successful collection took place in 2020, stowing the sample in a specially designed return capsule and setting up the first asteroid sample return managed by NASA.
