Thank you for the suggestion.  I'll be sure to visit it.

>old, formed at the beginning of the solar system. There is only one kind

>'calcium-aluminum-inclusions' (CAI), also embedded, but microscopically
>in chondrites. Older by a few hundred million years.

>If you could possibly get tired of Vienna, and you have time, then
>Bratislava, a short train ride away from Vienna, is another gorgeous
>city to visit. :-)

Maybe I can do this on my day off!

Thanks Amara,

Natasha
