With the first discovery of surviving pre-solar minerals in primitive meteorites in 1987 a new kind of astronomy emerged, based on the study of stellar condensates with all the detailed methods available to modern analytical laboratories. The pre-solar origin of the grains is indicated by considerable isotopic ratio variations compared with Solar System materials, characteristic of nuclear processes in different types of stars.
