[meteorite-list] meteorite-related: Bennu!
Greetings Meteorite-List Friends! I just can't resist sending this hot-off-the-press link to asteroid Bennu! It could be related to meteorites in our collections... or not. See this hot-off-the-press link to asteroid Bennu at 100 pixels taken by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on Oct. 29, 2018 from a distance of about 205 miles (330 km): https://www.asteroidmission.org/20181029t1019ut_bennu/ I am sure you will agree that it is a bold, beautiful and interesting place already!

[meteorite-list] Soviet Moon Rocks For sale
Real Moon Rocks Go Up For Auction in New York, Expected to Fetch Nearly $1 Million, Matt Novak, Paleofuture https://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/real-moon-rocks-go-up-for-auction-in-new-york-expected-1830092539 The article stated: "Next month Sotheby's in New York will auction off some of the only moon rocks that can be legally owned by private individuals." As we all know, this is not correct. Lunar meteorites, which are also pieces of the Moon are legal to buy and sell freely. They are still pricey. :-( Yours, Paul H. __ 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
