Abstract from DBPedia
    A chondrule (from Ancient Greek χόνδρος chondros, grain) is a round grain found in a chondrite. Chondrules form as molten or partially molten droplets in space before being accreted to their parent asteroids. Because chondrites represent one of the oldest solid materials within the Solar System and are believed to be the building blocks of the planetary system, it follows that an understanding of the formation of chondrules is important to understand the initial development of the planetary system.

    コンドルールまたはコンドリュール（chondrule）とは、多くの隕石に含まれている球状の粒子である。コンドリュールという名称は、古代ギリシャ語のchondoros（『粒』）に由来する。
