Mineral Matter in Space

  • Chapter
Book cover Advanced Mineralogy

Abstract

The extended scope of mineralogy, including extraterrestrial materials, came first from increasingly sophisticated studies of meteorites, then from direct studies of lunar samples, then from the comparative mineralogy of terrestrial and giant planets, and finally from data on interplanetary dust and interstellar presolar mineral dust.
