Astronomers have discovered signs of icy bodies raining down in an alien solar system. The system resembles our own solar system during the 'Late Heavy Bombardment' - a period that may have brought water and life-forming ingredients to Earth.

Meteorite CSI
Topic: Meteorites, Comets and Asteroids
10/19/11
Scientists have forensically reconstructed the impact of a meteorite on Earth and how debris was hurled from the crater to devastate the surrounding region. The study indicates that giant meteorite impacts may mimic the behaviour of large volcanic eruptions.
