> Jim would be very proud. That is really cool!!! Hi Ruben and List,
.. and as you can see in the attachment*, Jim is already busy cleaning up there on his little planet and watering his asteroidal roses! Best wishes, Bernd * The List can't but Ruben can! P.S.: These two pictures are taken from "The Little Prince" by Antoine de St.-Exupéry and the following passage from this wonderful book is a fitting tribute to our late Jim! Chapter 4 I had thus learned a second fact of great importance: this was that the planet the little prince came from was scarcely any larger than a house! But that did not really surprise me much. I knew very well that in addition to the great planets - such as the Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Venus - to which we have given names, there are also hundreds of others, some of which are so small that one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope. When an astronomer discovers one of these he does not give it a name, but only a number. He might call it, for example, "Asteroid 325." I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B-612. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
