Pawsey helps track Martian meteorites to their source

Pawsey supercomputers have helped researchers at Curtin University track the original location of a group of meteorites from Mars flung up to 400 million kilometres to Earth. The research has pinpointed the Tooting crater, located in the Tharsis region of Mars, as the likely origin for some of the 166 Martian rocks that have been
