3. **What are some of the rare minerals found in meteorites that are not commonly found on Earth, and what do these minerals reveal about cosmic processes and conditions?
2. **How do meteorites contribute to our understanding of the early solar system, particularly through the study of specific mineral inclusions like chondrules and CAIs (calcium-aluminum-rich incl...
**What are the primary differences between terrestrial minerals and those found in meteorites, and how do scientists use these differences to identify the origins of meteorites?
