It is normal in scientific writing to use the 0 before the decimal point. 
Ask any mathematician or scientist involved in the physical sciences.  It is 
good for all of us  to show that we are scientifically literate. We make an 
impression that is judged by  professional meteoriticists and it should be 
that we are knowledgeable about these things. : =)
