The diamonds are relatively large for meteorites—about 10 micrometers across. The large size of the diamonds was described in previous literature.

Strange hexagonal diamonds found in meteorites may have been jettisoned into space when a dwarf planet collided with a large asteroid around 4.5 billion years ago. Skip to main content.

As with Earth's diamonds, these tiny meteorite diamonds contain even tinier blobs of other minerals, which are generally what tell a diamond’s most interesting stories. In this case, the blobs ...

As leftovers from the formation of the solar system, meteorites can act as time capsules. Scientists at the EPFL have now examined a piece of an asteroid known as 2008 TC3 and found diamonds that ...

New analysis of a meteorite fragment from Sudan has found space diamonds, which scientists say came from a “lost planet” destroyed billions of years ago. Scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique ...

A large planetary body inferred from diamond inclusions in a ureilite meteorite. Nature Communications . Published online April 17, 2018. doi: 10.1038/s41467-018-03808-6.

Back in 2008, an 80-ton meteor exploded over the Nubian Desert of Sudan, showering the region with hundreds of tiny rocks. New research suggests the diamonds packed inside these meteorites could ...

The diamond meteorite appears to have originated on a protoplanet between the size of the moon and Mars that collided with other objects during the first 10 million years of the solar system and ...

Researchers report characteristics of diamond-containing meteorites that raise the possibility of a small-planetesimal origin. Ureilite meteorites are known to contain diamonds. One hypothesis ...

In 2008, chunks of space rock crashed in the deserts of Sudan. Diamonds discovered inside one of the recovered meteorites may have come from a destroyed planet that orbited our sun billions of ...
