It seems to be everywhere up there!
The mineral olivine is found on the Moon, on asteroids,
on Mars; in comet nuclei, in dust clouds in space.
Why? Why is it so prevelant?
Is it easier to make, than other minerals?
Do rocks and minerals like flint, quartz, etc have a
disadvantage over olivine?
Is its chemical composition and structure at some happy
energy & structural equalibrium?
