Definition
A type of meteorite made of silicate minerals with small rounded grains, representing the most common meteorites that fall to Earth.
Etymology
From Greek 'chondros' (grain) + '-ite' (rock/mineral), named for the visible small round grains (chondrules) embedded in the rock.
Kelly Says
Chondrites are chunks of the early solar system still falling to Earth—they literally contain stardust and primordial material from before our planets formed, making them cosmic time capsules!
