What Gives Meteorites Their Shape? New Research Uncovers a “Goldilocks” Answer
Tagged in Engineering, Science and Technology Research Arts and Science Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences NYU Homepage Feature
Meteoroids coming from outer space are randomly shaped, but many of these, which land on earth as meteorites, are found to be carved into cones. Scientists have now figured out how the physics of flight in the atmosphere leads to this transformation.
