• Resumen

  • The article discusses research into the composition and properties of chondrite meteorite fragments in order to determine their cosmic origins. Particular focus is given to the analysis of chondrule silicate minerals, which formed into asteroids with dust and other metals, and the estimation of the original locations of several types of chondrites through the distribution of cosmic dusts at their formation. The results suggest a structure for the early solar system similar to that of the protoplanetary discs surrounding young T Tauri stars.
