Does anyone in the group follow Allan Wall’s Photography? I’ve been following Allan for a while, and I am interested in Macro Photography. Allan has many videos on Youtube about his photography, and I recommend him to anyone interested. Well worth a look.👀👍📷👋😁

It seems amazing that the abundant minerals of meteorites are composed of only eight or so of these elements: oxygen (O), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na) and potas- sium (K).

Many scientific papers have been written on the topic of What are Chondrules and how did they form plus Ordinary Chondrite Stony Meteorites.

Thanks for the outstanding photo.
Post more please
Big Bang 12+ billion plus years ago. Earth and the solar system are rather new.
Thank you, I’m trying to get started in Maro Photography a lot to learn. I look forward to posting more photos of Meteorites. 😁
Okay, did a quick search on google. And here’s what they say, I’m faulted by being human I’m not perfect an make mistakes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
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.

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

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.
I have two Microscopes, a Russian LOMO MCB-10 stereo binocular and a vintage student Mono Compound Microscope with these microscopes I use my AmScope Nikon microscope camera attached through the microscope lens tube no C- Mount on either microscope. I use a NiSi manual focusing rail with my Nikon DSLR 7100 and my Nikor prime lens 18mm to 140mm, plus Nikor 60mm macro lens and looking to add a Nikor 50mm D 1:4 or 1:8 or even 2:8 enlarger lens.
I have found information about the uses of each microscope by Googling the manufacture for LOMO and just searching for a mono compound microscope. Plenty of information on the use and Description of microscopes. Thank you for sharing. 👍😁
Thank you for your suggestion for a photo stacking program. I’ve download Alan Hadley’s CombineZP free photo stacking. I believe this may be a good place to start my learning process in the world of photo stacking.
