Question: What do rocks from space look and feel like?

Well you have to wear gloves to touch them so we don’t contaminate the surface and mess up our measurements but depending on the type of space rock they can look very normal or they can look really cool with lots of interesting things in them which you don’t see on earth. An example of this is chondrites, they have small inclusions in them call chondrules which are really pretty and they also have things called CAIs (Calcium-Aluminium-Inculsions) which are the oldest things to form in the solar system and look like blobs with lots of layers in them.
