Small Asteroids Point to a Source for Meteorites

Article Abstract:

Astronomers at the Asteroids, Comets, and Meteors meeting in Ithaca, NY, revealed evidence that S-type asteroids are chondrite, contrary to the appearance that some of them present. The reddish cast of some of the asteroids, especially the larger ones, are thought to be be a type of weathering process that conceals the gray of ordinary chondrite.
