Discover the geological evolution of chondritic asteroids through Rhian's diagrams depicting melting processes 4.5 billion years ago. Explore images and materials from differentiated asteroids like Leoville and Semarkona. Learn about chondrules, the solar nebula's solid particles, and meteorites believed to be from Vesta, including Ibitira and Johnstown. Dive into the cores of melted asteroids with iron and stony-iron meteorites like Dora, Gibeon, and Hoba.
