Key Points:
- and HOUSTON, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent study reports evidence of deformation in the oldest solids formed in our solar system resulting from nebular shocks.
- A recent study of a CAI from NWA 5028 CR2 chondrite suggests that some CAIs may have experienced nebular shocks at early stages of the solar system history.
- "These CAIs represent, to the best of our knowledge, the first solids that formed in the solar system.
- However, shock deformation in CAIs implies that nebular shocks may have been more common in the early solar system than previously thought.
