[meteorite-list] Vesta

[Walter Branch]

Hello Everyone,

As we all know, some meteorites originate from the asteroid Vesta. We can 
hold these meteorites in our hands, but how many have actually seen the 
parent body of the these wonderful meteorites.

Phil Harrington is a regular contributor at Cloudy Nights.  Phil is a "big 
name" in the area of binocular astronomy.  This month's Binocular Universe 
article features a nice chart of how to spot Vesta, which is in the 
constellation Leo.

It's an easy target.  I observed it recently through my 7 x 50 binoculars.

Clear skies,
