An OUT explorer of space, time, and the human experience (and chondrules too)! Geology rocks! Still a Vorlon at heart: One moment of perfect beauty.

Chondrule of the week: Color enhanced BEI of a type-I BO chondrule from MET 00452! So beautiful! Formed from melting at near liquidus temperatures with cooling and nucleation occurring from the same temperature.
