Re: [meteorite-list] Annual Moon Impacts More Frequent Then Previously Estimated
Hi Kelly, Always appreciate your posts to the list! Thank you for sharing this resource. --AL Mitterling Quoting "Beatty, Kelly via Meteorite-list" <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com>: hi, Paul... it's an interesting revelation that demonstrates the power of LRO's camera. but some of the write-ups are not getting it right (e.g. the New Scientist story claims "A new count of the moon?s craters has turned up 33 per cent more than predicted." sheesh!) if you want some context, including interviews with specialists beyond the press release, I recommend my S colleague Camille Carlisle's write-up here: https://is.gd/LxmxoZ clear skies, Kelly ** J.
