Photo of a Bleached Chondrule from a possible LL3 Chondrite Meteorite under classification
Aug 23, 2021 11:54:19 #
This photo was through my vintage Mono eyepiece Compound student microscope. It is from a 14.516-gram slice of a (possible LL3) Stony Meteorite under classification by the Meteoritical Society Nomenclature Committee for publication in the Meteoritical Bulletin.
Chondrules formed from the Big Bang and are said to be 4564.7billion years old, making them older than the earth, having arrived on Earth in meteorites.

Grains of silica, metal, and sulfides. Please know that I’m not a degreed scientist. This is a hobby, so my responses are limited. If anyone is interested, they can find scientific information by teaching the web.
I don't believe in posting misinformation, especially when it comes to science. I appreciate your interest and question.

Wow, that is a cool image looking back in time! I am a trained biologist and find your hobby interest in geology fascinating! Wow, an about 4.5 Trillion year old fragment of the Big Bang, love it.

That's strange, since modern estimates of the age of the universe put it around 14 billion.

Awesome and mind-blowing 🏆🏆🏆

Thank you. Holding something that formed from the Big Bang and from space is amazing. These Chondrules are only millimeters across. I used my 10x objective for the capture.

I can get totally get lost viewing chondrules in meteorites. Usually, the groundmass that these chondrules are locked in are so heavily packed that it can take me an hour to view them all. I like to call this chondrule pic “The Cat” for obvious reason.

Thank you. So much to learn about meteorites. I’ll never be an expert, but enjoying the journey.

Thanks for the outstanding photo.
Post more please
Big Bang 12+ billion plus years ago. Earth and the solar system are rather new.
