Cosmochemistry of Lithium

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Lithium Isotope Geochemistry

Part of the book series: Advances in Isotope Geochemistry ((ADISOTOPE))

  • 1975 Accesses

Abstract

The utility of Li and Li isotopes in Earth and planetary science is discussed in this chapter, with a particular focus to major planetary bodies (Moon, Mars) and other inner Solar System pilgrims (Vesta) of which we are aware to have physical samples in our collections. Inevitably in cosmochemistry, the journey through solid materials starts with chondrites, important building blocks of all larger celestial bodies. However, the story of Li began already in the very first seconds of the nascent Universe; therefore, a brief history of the fate of Li in the cosmos, "empty" interstellar space, galaxies, and stars, including our nearest vital thermonuclear reactor of a marvellous size is provided.
