  2. Chondrule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrule

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_nebulae

    Lyman alpha nebulae around quasars can have sizes between 15 kpc and 460 kpc. [1] Especially large Enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN) can have large sizes of ≳100 kpc. [2] Farina et al. 2019 table 5 has an extensive compilation of Lyman alpha nebulae around quasars. [1] For now this list contains only the largest ELANs, with sizes larger than 300 kpc.

    Their chondrules are generally in the range of 0.5 to 1 mm in diameter. Ordinary chondrites are distinguished chemically by their depletions in refractory lithophile elements, such as Ca, Al, Ti, and rare earths , relative to Si, and isotopically by their unusually high 17 O/ 16 O ratios relative to 18 O/ 16 O compared to Earth rocks.

  5. Accretion (astrophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_(astrophysics)

    Chondrules, metal grains, and other components likely formed in the solar nebula. These accreted together to form parent asteroids. These accreted together to form parent asteroids. Some of these bodies subsequently melted, forming metallic cores and olivine -rich mantles ; others were aqueously altered. [ 35 ]

    The number of nebulae was then greatly increased by the efforts of William Herschel and his sister, Caroline Herschel. Their Catalogue of One Thousand New Nebulae and Clusters of Stars [16] was published in 1786. A second catalog of a thousand was published in 1789, and the third and final catalog of 510 appeared in 1802.

  8. Primitive achondrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_achondrite

    There are many indicators why some achondrites are deemed primitive. Some contain relic chondrules (e.g. Acapulcoite, Lodranite) and some have oxygen isotope ratios that are similar to chondrites. There are similarities in trace element concentrations between primitive achondrites and chondrites.

  9. NGC 7380 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7380

    The nebula is known as S 142 in the 1959 Sharpless catalog (Sh2-142). [2] It is extremely difficult to observe visually, usually requiring very dark skies and an O-III filter. The NGC 7380 complex is located at a distance of approximately 8.5 kilolight-years from the Sun , in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way .
