DESCRIPTION:The origins of our solar system can be investigated by observa
 tional astronomy\, computer simulations\, and materials on Earth that date
  from the beginning of the solar system\, that are brought to earth by spa
 ce missions or fall as meteorites.  Chondrites are primitive meteorites\, 
 that have been largely unaltered from pre-planetary times. They are probes
  of the environment and timescales of the protoplanetary disk. I will disc
 uss their composition and texture and introduce some of our recent researc
 h showing that chondritic constituents formed over several millions of yea
 rs and record an evolving disk.
