caption_attribution_description: English: An example of (from left to right) a Howardite, Eucrite and Diogenite meteorite: the H-E-D in the HED meteorites group. They are believed to be samples from asteroid (4) Vesta, representing the surface breccia (H), surface basalt flow (E) and deeper plutonics from deep in a magma chamber (D). Nederlands: Een voorbeeld van (van links naar rechts) een Howardiet, Eucriet en Diogeniet: de H-E-D in de HED meteoriet-groep. Men denkt dat ze monsters van de planetoïde (4) Vesta zijn, respectievelijk de oppervlakte breccia (H), oppervlakte basalt (E) en dieper plutonisch gesteente uit een magmakamer (D).
context_page_description: HED meteorites are a clan of achondrite meteorites. HED stands for "howardite–eucrite–diogenite".
  These achondrites came 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.
