And then there's a bigger issue: some carbon-rich meteorites still appear "less shocked," despite lacking any water-bearing minerals. But Kurosawa wasn't ready to abandon the theory just yet.

Meteorites carry clues that are pivotal in exploring the history of our Solar System, yet they don’t all look the same after impact. Colliding with a planetary surface sends shockwaves through ...
