[meteorite-list] Do We Have Pieces of Pallas on Earth?
Hello Listers, Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Do We Have Pieces of Pallas on Earth? By: Bob King | May 6, 2015 With all the excitement over the dwarf planets Ceres and Pluto, it would be easy to overlook the asteroid 2 Pallas. But if you did, you'd miss a fine opportunity to observe an asteroid that, like Vesta, has delivered pieces of itself to Earth as meteorites. Pallas, discovered in March 1802, was originally considered a planet, as were all the early asteroid discoveries. But by the mid-1800s, with 15 "new planets" on the roster and more in the offing, astronomers thought it prudent to reclassify these small bodies as minor planets or asteroids. Sound familiar? With the discovery of large, Pluto-sized asteroids in the distant Kuiper Belt beginning in 1992, Pluto suddenly had company, stirring the International Astronomical Union to re-brand the planet and its ilk as dwarf planets in August 2006. - See more at: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/do-we-have-pieces-of-pallas-on-earth05062015/#sthash.du2fSovl.dpuf __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
