Hello All!

There is an interesting areticle on chondrule formation in the October
issue of Sky & Telescope which will be on newsstands October 2nd.
The authors describe F.H. Shu's disputed "X wind" theory.

MACROBERT A.M. et al. (2001) Fountains of Chondrules from the
Sun's Cloudy Birth (Sky & Telescope, October 2001, pp. 18-19).

Best wishes,
