Chondrules in the chondrite classification Grassland. A millimeter scale is shown. Chondrules in the Carbonaceous Chondrite NWA 13887. A chondrule (from Ancient Greek χόνδρος chondros, grain) is a round grain found in a chondrite. Chondrules form as molten or partially molten droplets in space before being accreted to their parent asteroids.
Nebula is a video-on-demand streaming service provider.Launched by the Standard Broadcast content management agency in 2019 to complement its creators' other distribution channels (primarily YouTube), [2] [3] the platform has since accumulated over 680,000 subscribers, [1] making it the largest creator-owned internet streaming platform.
Goldschmidt noted the primitive (pre-differentiated) compositions of some meteorites, calling it the "cosmic" abundance- he assumed meteorites had arrived from free space, not our Solar System. [ 28 ] [ 29 ] In turn, the study of such abundances stimulated- then validated- work in nucleosynthesis and stellar physics.
Primitive achondrites are a subdivision of meteorites.They are classified on the same rank (historically called "Class") and lying between chondrites and achondrites.They are called primitive because they are achondrites that have retained much of their original chondritic properties.
The nebulae listed by Barnard have become known as Barnard objects. [2] A 1919 version of the catalogue listed 182 nebulae; [3] by the time of the posthumously published 1927 version, it listed 369. [4] Barnard's niece and assistant Mary Ross Calvert, also an astronomer and astrographer, took an important part in creating the catalogue. [5]
IC 5146 (also Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, Barnard 168, and the Cocoon Nebula) is a reflection [2] /emission [3] nebula and Caldwell object in the constellation Cygnus. The NGC description refers to IC 5146 as a cluster of 9.5 mag stars involved in a bright and dark nebula.
Ordinary chondrite NWA 3189 sliced. Field of view c. 2.2 cm across. NWA 3189 has been classified as an LL3.2–3.4 ordinary chondrite ("LL" means very low total iron content; "3" refers to well-preserved chondrules – the rock has not been subjected to metamorphism intense enough to disrupt the chondritic texture).
Barnard 68 is a molecular cloud, dark absorption nebula or Bok globule, towards the southern constellation Ophiuchus and well within the Milky Way galaxy at a distance of about 125 parsecs (407 light-years). [2]
