Meteorite research is fundamental to our understanding of the origin and early history of the Solar
System. This book considers the mechanism and timing of core formation and basaltic volcanism on
asteroids, and the effects of heating water-rich bodies. Results from meteorite research are placed in a galactic setting, and a
theory is proposed for the origin of the planets of our Solar System. This advanced yet succinct introduction classifies meteorites
in the
context of their ages and origin.
