Re: [meteorite-list] Trojan Asteroid Patroclus: Comet in Disguise?
PowerPoint? whiscowww, that sounds like real work. Maybe Ron could snazz it up with a nice applet figuring out the periodicity of the center of mass and showing the its orbital cycle vs. impulse requirements in a moving double bipolar frame of reference? Then we could goof off for most of the rest of it and no one else might notice...

Re: [meteorite-list] Trojan Asteroid Patroclus: Comet in Disguise?
Hi, The really neat thing about this configuration is the view from the surface of (either) one looking toward the other. Unlike our puny Full Moon, which fills only 1/2 degree of the sky, the other binary would appear to loom in the sky spanning 10.67 degrees! 21 times the diameter of a Full Moon! Here is obviously the place to build the Honeymoon Hotel of the Future. Come to Patroclus! (Can't we do something about that name?) Depending on the rotational period of each object, the full lunar cycle would repeat every few days. But, if you get nervous about things falling on you, you might not want to vacation someplace where there's a world hanging in the sky, obviously ready to drop... I guess the 76-mile one is the world and the 70-mile one is the moon. Sterling K.
