#and meteorites
Note
Oh snap so what’s your favorite meteorite??? Both type and specific rock! ;)
I have a soft spot for Iron meteorites, cause they're the ones I did my PhD on. I love a good Widmanstatten pattern.
Iron meteorites come from the core of (destroyed) differentiated extraterrestrial planetary bodies. They're called Iron meteorites but are actually an alloy of Iron and Nickel. The amount of Nickel dictates the mineral phase: kamacite is poor in Ni, taenite is richer. The co-existence of both phases will create the Widmanstatten pattern.

Pallasites are quite lovely too.

Pallasite are thought to come from the boundary between the core and the mantle of differentiated extraterrestrial bodies. the Iron-Nickel metal part comes from the core, while the big olivine crystals come from the mantle.
Fun fact: meteorites are the only way we know what the Earth's core and core/mantle boundaries are made of, cause it's actually easier to get a rock from far away in the Solar System than dig 3000 km into the ground.
I don't have a specific rock that. There's the ones I've studied, like Copiapo or Mont Dieu. There's the famous ones among cosmochemists: Canyon Diablo, Murchison, Allende, etc...
(Meteorites are named after the place they're found at. If it's a desert, they get a matricule. ex: NWA + number. NWA = North West Africa, for all the ones found in the Sahara desert)

#Don't tell me anything. I'm trying to reborn my exhausted brain.#tapadoodles#Cass over here started a f***ing war#On three fronts#Listen to me#RUN.#I mean I will stay#But you better run#meteorites literally from all over#and Cass just hilariously laughing from above#Let me go free I wanna in this chaos please

Prompt 197
“Guys look, I got us pet rocks!”
“That’s nice- Danny, why are the rocks moving?”
“Ectoplasm. Obviously. They eat bad emotions, isn’t that cool?!”
“They aren’t going to get that big though, right? I mean, we’re moving to the countryside but still.”
“I mean, they shouldn’t? Dang, maybe I should have asked Dora more questions…”
#Dcxdp#Dpxdc#Prompts#Team Phantom moves to Smallville#With their pet rocks that do in fact grow#There’s a giant stone crab with part of a forest on its back#And a ray-thing buried under their fields napping until lightning storms#And a meteorite whale thing#to name the biggest 3#Clark LOVES visiting the neighbors whenever he comes back home#He gets swarmed by the pet rocks#He also eventually gets permission to take a couple of tiny ones to give to his friends#Bruce is staring blankly at the Very Tiny gargoyle staring up at him with bits of black ecto lichen mimicking his cowl#Why yes the pet rocks are indeed influenced by the person they’re with and their surroundings

I just snapped a meteor tonight during a long exposure... (Long enough that you can see the stars moving as the Earth turns.) Lower left.

just thinking about Chan tearing your clothes off and ruining you, not caring about overstimulating the both of you. He just got pussy on the brain. Just pure smut smh. Anyways hi solie, love youuu🤍🤍😇
yes omg. desperate channie is the best sigh.
this made me think of when he comes back home from tour. you'd expect him to be exhausted, but it's quite the opposite. he's so horny and desperate for you cause of all those months he spent away that the second he comes back, he's all over you. "don't worry, i'll buy you a new one," he says absentmindedly as you gasp when he rips what happened to be one of your favorite tops off and tosses it onto the floor. he's not even thinking straight at this point cause of how needy he is.
"missed you so much, baby. been waiting all day for this," he'd say, shoving your underwear down and ripping it off too, then he'd bend you over and mercilessly pound into you from behind. you were too desperate to even think about prepping first, but it's not like you really need it cause you're already dripping for him. it just turns you on so much when he gets like this.
he'll fuck you on any possible surface in the house, make you cum as many times as he can until you're practically a shaking, sobbing mess from the overstimulation. he's cum so many times it's starting to hurt, but he can't help it. "gonna fuck you 'til you can't even stand up right," he speaks lowly, and even though your mind in clouded right now, you already know he's really deep in that headspace where he's just fucking into you mindlessly. he wouldn't even be able to pay attention to what he's saying cause he's already fucked himself dumb at this point too ugh. and the fact that he only gets this pussy drunk for you?? disgusting (i actually need him so bad rn).
thank u for this lil thought, my khai. i will be thinking about it for like ever
#solieverse: incoming meteorite mail!#from tadashisdisaster#skz smut#stray kids smut#bang chan smut#stray kids hard thoughts#skz hard thoughts#chan smut#skz hard hours#kpop smut#stray kids hard hours#bangchan smut#solieverse: planet reverie

Washington University has an incredible website about identifying meteorites run by Randy Korotev. It’s educational about what meteorites are and where they’re found (did you know that more meteorites have been found on Antarctica than on all other continents combined? did you know that 90% of meteorites are less than 14 cm / 5.5 inches long?) but its best feature is how fed it up it is with people who ask stupid questions and get combative (like, 243 emails combative) when told that actually, meteorites are quite rare. How fed up, you ask?
That fed up.
Some other highlights include:
And last but not least:

Meteorite Iron Discovered in 3,000-year-Old Bronze Age Gold Hoard
New research reveals that two Bronze Age artifacts from the Treasure of Villena contain iron from a meteor that hit a million years ago.
In the ’60s, researchers discovered a trove of Bronze Age treasure in Villena, Spain. While most of the stunning bottles, bowls and bracelets are made of gold and silver, new research has revealed that some of them were forged from another material: iron from a meteor that struck Earth a million years ago.
According to a recent study published in the journal Trabajos de Prehistoria, researchers conducted tests on two of the artifacts—a bracelet and a hollow decorative sphere—made between 1400 and 1200 B.C.E.
The trove’s materials have long mystified researchers. After finding it on the Iberian Peninsula in 1963, archaeologist José María Soler García noted the presence of a “dark leaden metal” among the gold, per El País’ Vicente G. Olaya. The metal was “shiny in some areas, and covered with a ferrous-looking oxide that is mostly cracked.”
To determine the iron’s origins, researchers used mass spectrometry, a technique that measures a molecule’s mass-to-charge ratio. As Live Science’s Jennifer Nalewicki reports, this analysis revealed that the iron’s nickel composition resembles that of meteoritic iron. These items are the first artifacts made of meteoritic iron ever found in the Iberian Peninsula.
“Iron was as valuable as gold or silver, and in this case [it was] used for ornaments or decorative purposes,” study co-author Ignacio Montero Ruiz, a researcher at the Spanish National Research Council’s Institute of History, tells Smithsonian magazine.
The presence of such an “unusual raw material” suggests it was made by highly skilled metalworkers capable of “[developing] new technologies,” adds Montero Ruiz.
But iron is also quite different from more common materials such as copper, gold or silver. As Montero Ruiz says to Live Science, “People who started to work with meteoritic iron and later with terrestrial iron must [have had to] innovate.”
The study’s other co-authors are Salvador Rovira-Llorens of the National Archaeological Museum and Martina Renzi of the Diriyah Gate Development Authority. The trove is held by Villena’s Archaeological Museum, which says on its website that the 66 items are considered the “most important prehistoric treasure in Europe.” Still, the artifacts’ origins remain a mystery.
Montero Ruiz tells Smithsonian magazine that objects made from meteoritic iron are rare, and most known examples from this period are connected to eastern Mediterranean cultures. The treasure’s creators “probably had access to a fallen meteorite in the area that allowed them to discover the properties of this material and how to shape it,” he says.
Last year, research revealed that an arrowhead found in Switzerland was made from meteoritic iron. That artifact, however, dates to between 900 and 800 B.C.E.
Researchers also don’t know who owned the Villena treasure, though they think it would have belonged to a community rather than a single individual.
“These two pieces of iron had enormous value. For this reason, they were considered worthy of becoming part of this spectacular ensemble,” says Montero Ruiz, per El País. “Who manufactured them and where this material was obtained are still questions that remain to be answered.”
