HED-Group (Vesta Meteorite)

HED meteorites are a subgroup of achondrite meteorites. HED stands for "Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite". These achondrites comes from a differentiated parent body and experienced extensive igneous processing not much different from the magmatic rocks found on Earth and for this reason they closely resemble terrestrial igneous rocks.
