Hi Ryan,
the term planetary in the context of meteoritics is applied to meteorites
not stemming from asteroids, but from larger celestial bodies, which were
for a longer period geologically active,
hence from Planet Mars, the Moon and some reckon also those from planetoid
Vesta among them.

But to be considered as a planet it have to have a spherical shape... The only
difference I see between planets and moons (besides that a moon has not to

Hi, Walter, List,
The dividing line between planet-moon and dual-planet seems to be
whether the center of gravity (barycenter) of the bodies is either in
space or beneath the surface of one of the bodies...
You're not wrong, Walter.

double planet
Hi Sterling:
I don't like to disagree with you (YES!), but I wonder if you have ever
been on a seesaw. If you move Charon away from Pluto, the center of mass
moves away from Pluto, not toward it, you have a longer lever arm.
You actually get it right when you talk about the Moon later on! Moving
Larry is right (who could doubt it?).
I got it backward. Charon would have to move
closer to Pluto to get their barycenter inside
Pluto. Presently, their center-to-center distance
is 19,600 km.
If you pushed'em to only 10,650 km apart, the
barycenter would be at Pluto's surface. The two
