Hi all -
I don't think so. Period.
That's not what Richard Norton taught in "Rocks from Space".
Will someone here please set the IAU straight on this?
How about operationally, if it hits frei-punkt, its a meteorite, if it leaves a
hole in the ground or airbursts with enough force to make it to the ground, its
an impacting asteroid or comet fragment.
