Researchers have found space rocks that might be formed about 4.6 billion years ago in Antarctica. They survived the violent collisions in the asteroid belt before being rained down on Earth.
The rocks were categorized at NASA Johnson Space Center and sent to Megan Bruck Syal, the postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The rocks will be vaporized by a high-powered laser. The data they would yield on asteroid deflection could one day save the planet.
