Most of these explosions were captured during meteor showers. I'd guess
the uneven distribution simply reflects where the imagers were looking
at those times, and possibly the FOV of the imaging systems. Given an
average phase of 50%, you'd expect most of the recorded hits to be
towards the

Good point Larry.
But I can't understand why people are still carefully distinguishing
between comets and Asteroids?, I think by now we can assume they are
basically one and the same, and not some exotic different species. To me
it's just that some rocks are more 'wet and oily' than others...

Hi Mark:
It comes down to location, location, location. Where did they from? Where
did they end up after the the Solar System settled down? How did they get
here?
Add to this the fact that there are cometary asteroids, objects in the
asteroid belt that seem to have cometary behavior.
Yes, it is
I don't, personally, see it as a hard distinction. The labels are more
for convenience - comets tend to be 'wetter and oilier', and more
often are in eccentric orbits. Asteroids tend not to exhibit coma/tail
because in a more stable orbits, they would either have lost most of
their

Yes, Agreed the labels are useful, but isn't it time to have a (in a
Pluto-planet style controversial type way! ;) reclassification of names
debate?
'Asteroid' usually means something in the asteroid belt.
'Comet' means, hmm what exactly does comet mean? - Ok yes an object on
eccentric orbit
There are clearly two very distinct populations of objects, which have
very different properties. Comets originate in the outer edge of the
Solar System, and ices account for a significant proportion of their
entire mass. Very few ever make it to the inner system, and when they
do, they can

Hi all -
Why?
Over the years I have seen many proposals for using
space. Most of them ignore the fundamental fact that
launch costs are very high (though many try to imagine
them away), so if you're going to do anything it had
better be worth it, and then best done internationally
to try and
Yes as I say you can label them, but I still wouldn't say the
differences where 'very distinct'.. juries still out on that one. I
wouldn't mind betting there are quite a few 'icy asteroids' out there
too...
After all:
we know little about composition. A burned out comet may

Hi everyone, well, after 10 days in Glorieta, with
nearly $1500.00 in expenses and all over 30 grams I
found, I need to raise some money by selling some
pieces just cut off of my Smithsonian exchange
goodies.
I just opened the box and the pieces I sent out for
cutting are here, and are beautiful!
I have received so many emails that I cant answer them
all, so one email to the list can show what i have
available.

interesting thing about these is that the specimen was
totally drilled on the backside, where the museum

sorry for the multiple posts, I underestimated
interest and demand for photos on this one, so I have
got the Trenton photos up, as well as the Trenton and

The Bondoc photos will have to be done tomorrow.
It's a simple case of the terminology being outdated.
The term comet dates back to Aristotle and the name means star with hair in
Greek. A lovely term that a child could sketch.
The term Asteroid is much more recent (19th Century). The word means star
shaped probably because that's how they
