WASHINGTON and HOUSTON, April 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a groundbreaking discovery published in the prestigious Astrophysical Journal, scientists have identified a rare dust particle lodged within an ancient extraterrestrial meteorite, shedding new light on the origins of stars beyond our solar system.

Key Points: 
  • WASHINGTON and HOUSTON, April 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a groundbreaking discovery published in the prestigious Astrophysical Journal, scientists have identified a rare dust particle lodged within an ancient extraterrestrial meteorite, shedding new light on the origins of stars beyond our solar system.
  • It measures all ions on the periodic table except noble gases, has sub-nm spatial resolution and a detection limit of 10 ppm.
  • The instrument is very new to the field and Dr. Nevill was among the first to use it for planetary sciences.
  • "The results challenge current astrophysical models, indicating processes are occurring in stellar environments we do not yet fully understand."

In fact, icy moons and dwarf planets in the outer Solar System appear to have liquid oceans below layers of thick ice.

Key Points: 
  • In fact, icy moons and dwarf planets in the outer Solar System appear to have liquid oceans below layers of thick ice.
  • Recent research suggests there could even be oceans inside bodies beyond Pluto.

Tidal heating

  • Io therefore overtakes Europa after every two orbits, receiving a regularly repeated tidal tug from Europa that prevents Io’s orbit from becoming circular.
  • Peale’s prediction of tidal heating was vindicated only a week after publication when Voyager-1, the the first sophisticated flyby of Jupiter, sent back images of volcanoes erupting on Io.
  • This isn’t likely to be due to tidal heating but instead possibly down to heat given off by decay of radioactive elements.
  • Saturn has a relatively small (504km radius) icy moon called Enceladus, which has an internal ocean thanks to tidal heating from interaction with the larger moon called Dione.

Other oceans

  • Puzzlingly, even for moons that should have no tidal heating, and for bodies that aren’t moons at all, evidence for internal oceans keeps mounting up.
  • The authors suggest that heat from the decay of radioactive elements in the rock is sufficient to explain how these internal oceans have been kept warm enough to avoid freezing.
  • It is possible that other underground oceans could be similarly inhospitable.
  • David Rothery is co-leader of the European Space Agency's Mercury Surface and Composition Working Group, and a Co-Investigator on MIXS (Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer) that is now on its way to Mercury on board the European Space Agency's Mercury orbiter BepiColombo.
