Celestial Fender-Bender Left Asteroid to Cool without Insulation, Find UMass
Amherst Scientists
AMHERST, Mass. -- A fender-bender between two celestial bodies
Note: Asteroid #6 of course is 6 Hebe, the most frequently mentioned
possible H chondrite Parent Body. Hebe is easy to see in binoculars. Much
dimmer and metallic 16 Psyche just passed opposition when it was ideal for
viewing last month and still can be seen if you have a medium scope. -Doug
