[meteorite-list] new vesta video

[Richard Montgomery]

Howdy List,

While the 'big depression' on the Vestan south pole has been a major 
focus...what about those wild grooves???

I see visions of a spinning Vesta grinding against another twin, gouging 
grooves in a dance....a low gravity parlay perhaps analogous to a 
high-school bump and grind, the two spinning against each other....which 
begs the obvious question:  where is the partner in grind??

Should we not expect to eventually find trailing remnants of both in those 
tell-tale grooves?
