      I study a particular group of meteorites called Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite (HED for short). These rocks haven’t been studied for water before so that is why I am looking at them. On top of that they are super old forming only a few million years after the beginning of the solar system so they can tell us a lot about how planets form too!
