An OUT explorer of space, time, and the human experience (and chondrules too)! Geology rocks! Still a Vorlon at heart: One moment of perfect beauty.
Chondrule of the week: Color enhanced BEI of a type-I BO chondrule from MET 00452! So beautiful! Formed from melting at near liquidus temperatures with cooling and nucleation occurring from the same temperature.

Chondrule of the week: An ~ 1 mm diameter, type-I chondrule from the UOC EET 005269. It went through at least two different thermal event ~ 4.566 billion years ago! Main mineral is olivine (Fo-rich, dark) with cores rich in fine Fe,Ni-rich metal blebs-evidence of recycling!
