Description: The most primitive meteorites are called chondrites; which contain small spherules called chondrules. Chondrules and the other ingredients in chondrites appear to have formed long before there were any planets in the solar system. The rocks offer clues to the earliest history of the solar system and an opportunity to understand how some of the small planets were formed, how they were heated and how they were affected by impacts. The origin of asteroids, that supply the meteorites is examined and two factors are proposed: (1) meteorites come from many different bodies that have formed and evolved in slightly different ways, and (2) impacts provide samples of both the surfaces and deep interiors of these bodies.
