Researchers from the University of Oxford’s Departments of Physics and Earth Sciences have contributed to a highly detailed analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite which fell to Earth last year. The results, published today in Science Advances, shed light on early solar system conditions and support the theory that meteorites catalysed the emergence of life on Earth.
