[meteorite-list] Another awful meteorite-related TV event

Hi Darren:

My bad.

Kassandra is only 100 km in diameter, so not quite as big as Kleo.
However, it is a T-class asteroid (dark). I observed it years ago and it
did not show any evidence of hydrated minerals, but have not had a chance
to see if anyone has looked at it in the last decade or so. Ts are rare,
so it would be nice to get a piece of one (but not too big).

Larry

PS At least it is not a piece of a brown dwarf!
