X-Rays Recount Origin of Oddball Meteorites

Image - X-ray experiments at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source helped scientists to establish that the parent planetesimal of rare meteorites, like the one shown here, had a molten core, a solid crust, and a magnetic field similar in strength to the Earth’s magnetic field.
