Old-old stone soft as cotton candy

Stone in the early solar system formation not as hard as it is now. British scientists claim, these stones more like cotton candy. Like what?

Study researchers at Imperial College London (ICL) provides the first geological evidence to support previous theories stating how the stones in the early formation of the solar system formed.

The research also supports the idea of ​​the first hard material in the solar system is very fragile and porous like cotton candy. Then, this stone to become more compact during the period of extreme turbulence and form a more hard rock to build blocks on planets like Earth.

"Our study mayakinkan us, stones are formed due to the initial carbon kondrit turbelensi nebulae through billions of years ago," said Phil Bland of the Faculty of Earth Science ICL.

Researchers analyzed the fragments of asteroids, known as carbon kondrit meteorites from the asteroid belt Jupiter and Mars. Initially, these meteorites formed when the solar system formed when the article was just a microscopic dust collide and merge.

Researchers analyzed the amount of compression experienced by the stone that will give you instructions fragile structure of early rock.

"Interestingly, this stone allows us to reconstruct the accretion and impact history of the most primitive solar system matter in detail"
