meteoritestories?
Hi Mike and Kelly:
There were several sessions on the Dawn mission. Unfortunately, I missed
many of them on Friday. However, what was of most interest to me is the
likelihood that the dark areas on Vesta are the remnants of low velocity
impacts by carbonaceous asteroids. Hopefully over the next few months,
there will be some more news releases/publications on this.
Larry
PS Still not happy with calling Vesta a "planet."
Mike...
Is there anything
new about Tissint, or any other meteorite that has emerged at this
year's conference?
there was an oral session on "New Martian Meteorites", and the lead paper
described Tissint
(http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2012/pdf/2510.pdf). but
that's it re: Tissint.
elsewhere, I chased down a couple of papers alluding to specific comets
capable
of dropping meteorites, but the modeling is (IMHO) incomplete.
so you'll just have to settle for LPSC results having to do with planets!
;-)
