Hi Darren: My bad.
Kassandra is only 100 km in diameter, so not quite as big as Kleo. However, it is a T-class asteroid (dark). I observed it years ago and it did not show any evidence of hydrated minerals, but have not had a chance to see if anyone has looked at it in the last decade or so. Ts are rare, so it would be nice to get a piece of one (but not too big). Larry PS At least it is not a piece of a brown dwarf! > On Wed, 1 Jul 2009 10:03:26 -0700 (MST), you wrote: > >>If Kleopatra were to hit the Earth (at least that is what I get out of >> the >>main page), we would be in big trouble.
