Meteorite Russian

The first journal devoted entirely to meteorite research seems to have been Meteor-itika, a Russian periodical that was published irregularly since 1939. In 1944 it was followed by the Dutch De Meteoor, and in 1953 appeared Meteoritics, the journal of the (American) Meteoritical Society founded twenty years earlier. For the history of this society, see Ursula B. Marvin, The Meteoritical Society 1933 to 1993, Meteoritics 28 (1993) 261-314.

The suggested accumulation of complex but photostable it-systems in the UV-il-luminated environments is in agreement with the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in meteorites [194,286], as well as with the reported synthesis of nucleotides from simpler precursors at the outer surfaces of Russian spacecraft [287]. Generally, one would expect that complex organic compounds would break into pieces in outer space. This is not the case instead, the pieces join together at surfaces to build complex aromatic 7t-systems that apparently are more stable than simpler compounds against diverse types of cosmic radiation.
