When a chondrule is created, does it end up as a solid, which is then
incorporated into a parent, like an asteroid? The result is then the
meteorite we see, with "pebbles" in it?=20

Reading the papers Walter posted recently on chondrule formation, it
seems more like they are still in a gas or liquid form, when
incorporated into the parent body. How do they then maintain their
shape? I can understand how a liquid can be round, but not when it hits
something.=20
