An event in this article is a March 29 selected anniversary (may be in HTML comment)
Following [1] (http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/text/asteroid_pr_980109.txt) (Jan 9, 1998) the density of Vesta is only 3.9 ± 0.3 grams per cubic centimeter. Is this more recent/fiable than the current value of 3.3g/cm3?
- Thomson et al. (1997) gives a mean radius of 258 km and Michalak (2000) a Mass of 1.36 ± 0.05 × 10–10 Sun masses. Based on this, Keil (2003) gives a density of 3.8 g/cm^3 -- Epo 10:44, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I reworked the whole article -- please somebody check the grammar since my Engrish is not perfect Jyril 21:27, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
