Mysterious Meteorites Credit: NASA Meteorites have nothing to do with the Moon or Venus after all! Then, where DO they come from? That is [still] the question!

From the page: "A pair of mysterious meteorites discovered in Antarctica is baffling scientists who are struggling to determine the origin of the space rocks.

"The meteorites, dubbed GRA 06128 and GRA 06129, were found in the Graves Nunataks region of Antarctica in 2006 (see an interactive map of Antarctica).

"The rocks were oddly rusty and salty and smelled like rotten eggs, its discoverers said.

"Initially, a team at the University of New Mexico (UNM) caused a stir when its analysis hinted that the pair may hail from Venus or the moon.

"But other teams then hurried to get pieces of the space rocks for analyses of their ownâ€"and for the most part, they disagree."

Interesting article about the origins of 2 meteorites found in Antarctica. From the page: "Initially, a team at the University of New Mexico (UNM) caused a stir when its analysis hinted that the pair may hail from Venus or the moon. But other teams then hurried to get pieces of the space rocks for analyses of their own--and for the most part, they disagree."
