Beautiful new cover of the Nature journal, for a paper on the ancestry and origin of meteorites

Featuring a cross-sectional view of the interior of a meteorite recovered from the Mackay Glacier icefields.

nature.com/nature/volumes/634/

A cover of the Nature journal, dated 7 October 2024, featuring a cross-sectional view of the interior of a meteorite recovered from the Mackay Glacier icefields during the 2005 field season of the Antarctic Search for Meteorites. To date only some 6% of meteorite falls have been reliably connected to their source. In this week’s issue, two papers by Michaël Marsset and colleagues and Miroslav Brož and co-workers redress that balance, suggesting a probable origin for the majority of meteorites found on Earth. The researchers focused on the two most common types of meteorite: H and L chondrites. They determined that these probably came from three young asteroid families, suggesting that they are the remnants of collisions that occurred millions or tens of millions of years ago — much more recent than had previously been expected.

A cover of the Nature Journal, dated 2-8 August 1984 with the title "Cosmic Strings in the Early Universe" If galaxy formation was initiated by "cosmic strings", these strings would also produce distinctive angular fluctuations in the temperature of the microwave background radiation. This illustration, in which temperature has been mapped to colours, depicts the type of pattern one would see on a patch of sky a few degrees square.
