Brachinites are a rare type of achondrite meteorite that are believed to originate from the asteroid 5035 Brach. They are composed primarily of olivine and pyroxene minerals, and have a unique composition that distinguishes them from other meteorite types. Brachinites are thought to represent primitive material that has undergone minimal alteration since the early stages of solar system formation, making them valuable for studying the processes that occurred during this time period. Research on brachinites helps scientists better understand the composition and evolution of the early solar system.
