[meteorite-list] NASA can't ID Space Object

[Richard Kowalski]

Rubin and all,

that is comet P/2010 A2 (LINEAR). It is the second know asteroid impacted by another asteroid.

The first one was discovered by Dave Jewitt a number of years ago. I don't have that one's designation handy at the moment...

The most recent impacted, (596) Scheila was discovered by Steve Larson using our 27" (0.69-m) Schmidt telescope last December. I was on our 60" (1.5-m) telescope that night and was able to confirm the discovery just before dawn that morning.

Cheers
