Sutter’s Mill Meteorite
Context
- In a new study, researchers have discovered carbon dioxide-rich liquid water inside a meteorite called Sutter’s Mill from an asteroid that formed 4.6 billion years ago.
- This finding suggests that the meteorite’s parent asteroid formed beyond Jupiter’s orbit before being transported into the inner solar system.
- It further provides key evidence for the dynamics of the Solar System’s formation.
