Hi List,
The probability of a meteorite originated from
Mercury, being able to reach Earth (or Venus or Mars, for that matter), must
be exceedingly small, as it would be strongly attracted towards the
Sun, unless its initial orbit would be disturbed in such a way as to be
"kicked out" by a close encounter in the Sun's vicinity, with a
passing asteroid or a comet?

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Origins Hello Martin and list,
Not saying Enstatites are from Mercury, it seems to me that they formed
much further from the sun.....but doesn't everything get kind of pushed into the
asteroid belt? That was my understanding why there are still asteroids in
the belts.....they get replaced.
