Hamburger September 6, 2023 10:01 AM Share news regarding the early understanding of the solar system. It’s been one of the longest debates in the astrological scientific community. And has always challenged the research of astronomers and scientists. A study by a team of scientists recently published in the journal Nature Communications. The study presents an analysis of the 4.6 billion-year-old Erg Chech 002 meteorite discovered in the Erg Chech region of the Sahara Desert in Algeria in 2020. The new analysis when combined with previously published data. This led to the discovery that aluminum-26 (26Al), a radioactive isotope present in meteorites when they formed, was Unevenly distributed throughout our solar system, Erg Chech 002 is identified as an andesite achondrite, making it one of the oldest meteorites known to date. Erg Chech 002’s older age also opens up more opportunities to explore the initial distribution of 26Al within the early Solar System. Knowing whether 26Al would be evenly distributed throughout the early solar system remains to be seen. It is important to determine the age of meteorites. and understand the early solar system. divmargin:0 -15px;@media (max-width:767.98px).css-x9zhmpwidth:100vw;max-width:inherit;margin:30px -15px;]]>
