Asteroids ~ Ronald Anderson

At the meeting in January  a talk about 10-Hygiea was given questions were raised regarding this object.  How is the mass determined? the mass being 2.9% of the asteroid belt was questioned.

This talk will answer these questions (hopefully) and many more concerning the asteroid belt.
