This is a pallasite meteorite a rare slice of an ancient asteroid believed to have formed between its metallic core and rocky mantle over 4.5 billion years ago.
Those glowing crystal sections are olivine, meaning you’re looking at the shattered inner remains of a lost world from the dawn of our solar system.
We have been alive for 300,000 years as a species. This is the first time we have ever seen another sun's family
Captured by Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander on March 14, 2025, this rare view shows Earth passing directly between the Moon and the Sun creating a total solar eclipse from the lunar surface.
From the Moon, this is essentially Earth eclipsing the Sun, offering one of the rarest perspectives ever recorded from another world.
Gallium is a rare metal with a melting point so low (about 29.8°C / 85.6°F) that it can liquefy from body heat alone meaning it can literally melt in your hand.
Scientists are now uncovering unusual new behaviors in liquid gallium that could influence future electronics, soft robotics, and advanced materials research.
Greenland sharks have existed for hundreds of millions of years through their ancient lineage while Saturn’s iconic rings are believed to have formed far more recently, possibly only 10 to 100 million years ago.
That means sharks were already swimming in Earth’s oceans long before Saturn wore its most famous feature.
