We have analyzed the superbolides recorded by the US Government satellite sensors. We found that ∼1/4 of the large fireballs detected from the space could be associated with near-Earth objects or meteoroid streams. The suspected interstellar rocky messenger exhibits a...

Theoretical investigation of the reaction between the radical CCH and the icy surface of dust grains, leading to the formation of ethanol without the need of an external energy input. Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is a relatively common molecule, often found in star-forming...
