Hi, Darren and all,
Gravity couldn't have been the hang-up, otherwise repeated attempts at
creating them would not have been made. Why even start a hopeless
experiment?

different results."

The articles that I've come across are at least four years old.
They had come somewhat close, but no cigar. They just can't make a "real"
chondrule.
Is anyone aware of more current attempts?
I'm sure its just getting the right combination of high temps and pressures,
and the interesting article I posted sparked the thought.
I'm just curious - I find the little guys fascinating!
Cheers,
Pete

One obsticle would probably be that pesky thing that we call gravity.
