A new book, Chondrites and the Protoplanetary Disk, reports the results of an exciting conference held on the island of Kauai in November 2005. The conference brought together an impressive interdisciplinary group of scientists seeking to understand our origins: Where did we come from? How did the stars and planets form? Did the planets around other stars form in the same way that ours did? The book summarizes new directions and new understanding in the chronology of the early Solar System, the important role of short-lived isotopes as heat sources to melt planetesimals well before planets formed, the origin of stars (including the Sun) in clusters, the extensive thermal processing of dust throughout the solar nebula, and why oxygen isotopes are not uniform in materials throughout the Solar System. Cosmochemistry and astronomy look at the same problems from different, complementary perspectives. Cosmochemists, astronomers, and astrophysicists work together to understand our origins.
