A perfect match?

Article Abstract:

A basic correlation between types of meteorites and types of asteroids based on their 'colour', the amount of light reflected at one wave-length compared with the amount reflected at another through a telescopic observation is presented. The links between ordinary chondrites and S-complex asteroids are not affected by colour changes because of their great abundance.

Silicate minerals that predate the Solar System are detected inside primitive stony meteorites. Isotopic analysis suggests that the silicates probably condensed around dying ancient stars.
