| In this region they would have been safe from late meteoritic and cometary impacts after the accretion of the Earth. |
|
| It will be the first spacecraft to orbit a comet's nucleus, allowing its instruments to follow the development of the active areas that eject the meteoritic dust into space. |
|
| Whether international prices slump or go on a meteoritic rise they remain unruffled, as their lifestyle is already being protected by state subsidies. |
|
| There is no known volcanic activity on Mars so it is most likely the result of a meteoritic impact. |
|
| Small graphitic crystals in meteoritic iron are called cliftonite. |
|
| The impact caused fusion of basalt with meteoritic material. |
|
| Meteoritic iron is much harder and more brittle than copper, the commonly-worked material of the time. |
|
| Meteoritic iron is comparably soft and ductile and easily forged by cold working but may get brittle when heated because of the nickel content. |
