Hi list,

Ron Baalke's post on astronomers searching for a cloud of tiny planets (asteroids)
near the sun, seems to fit into the idea of where some of the meteorites like
enstatite might come from. We have had a list discussion on this and if some
meteorites may be from Mercury or Venus and with this announcement sparked my
curiosity about the sources. I am posting this for those who might have missed or
didn't relate the news about these. Have a good day!
