Hello Everyone,

I have a couple of questions about lunar meteorite NWA 482.

Dealers and re-sellers of this meteorite often note that NWA 482 originates 
from the lunar farside.

Randy Korotov notes that there no scientific evidence that any particular 
lunar meteorite originates from the lunar farside.  See for example,
http://meteorites.wustl.edu/lunar/moon_meteorites.htm

Dealers and re-sellers, what is the evidence that NWA 482 origiantes from 
the lunar farside?

Randy, why did you write that there is no scientific evidence that any 
particular lunar meteorite originates from the lunar farside?

In fact, I would welcome any scientists opinion on this issue.

Thanks,

-Walter Branch
