Scientific paper

Craters attributable to hypervelocity impacts of micrometeorites have been discovered on rare chondrule-like objects from the gas-rich meteorite Kapoeta. These chondrule-like objects, probably generated by impacts themselves, provide further evidence for the regolith origin of Kapoeta. The micrometeorite flux at the time of formation of the meteorites was probably an order of magnitude higher than the present flux, but the solar luminosity could not have been higher than 1.7 times its present value.
