NWA 5028 Meteorite Thin Section

The NWA 5028 meteorite makes a stunningly beautiful thin section mosaic. With its large calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions and numerous chondrules, viewers are taken to an alien terrain billions of years old – to a time when the first objects were forming in the Solar System.

Allende Meteorite Thin Section

Thin sections of the Allende Meteorite provide some of my favorite scenes from the ancient Solar System. Viewed with a microscope in cross polarized light, the chondrules in combination with the CAIs appear about as out-of-this-world as any image of Saturn or the Carina Nebula.
