Most iron meteorites are thought to come from the core of a number of asteroids that were once molten.

They include a few thousand near-Earth asteroids ( NEAs ), near-Earth comets, a number of solar-orbiting spacecraft, and meteoroids large enough to be tracked in space before striking the Earth.

There are only a few known mean motion resonances in the Solar System involving planets, dwarf planets or larger satellites ( a much greater number involve asteroids, planetary rings, moonlets and smaller Kuiper belt objects, including many dwarf planet candidates ).

Simultaneously, the large number of known asteroids in the belt resulted in Ceres no longer being considered a planet at that time.

The total number of Jupiter Trojans larger than 1 km in diameter is believed to be about, approximately equal to the number of asteroids larger than 1 km in the asteroid belt.

As instruments improved, the rate of discovery grew rapidly: by January 2000, a total of 257 had been discovered ; by May 2003, the number had grown to 1, 600. there are 3, 404 known Trojan asteroids at and 1, 759 at,

Then a series of explosive asteroids take the planet's shield down, and a number of nasties ( actually, Gith's employees ) invade the planet.

More recently, a relatively small number of asteroids have been found to possess high eccentricity orbits which do lie within the Kirkwood gaps.

Ships on the asteroids come in three sizes and are defined as a " one ", " three ", or " five " based upon the number of passengers that they can ( for the most part uncomfortably ) carry.

* Tsutomu Seki ( born 1930 ) is an astronomer who has discovered a number of comets and asteroids.

* John Russell Hind ( 1853 – 1891 ) — discovered a number of asteroids in the earlier part of his career

Shows the number of asteroids of various types ( potentially hazardous, size > 1 km, etc.

He has built CCD cameras and software for the detection of near-Earth asteroids and Kuiper Belt Objects, and his research has helped reduce the assumed number of near-Earth asteroids larger than 1 km by half, from 1, 000 – 2, 000 to 500 – 1, 000 He has also assisted in the detection of distant solar system objects, supernovae, and quasars, thereby helping to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system and the dark energy driving the accelerated expansion of the universe.

It is the namesake of the Apollo asteroids, and the first one discovered, although because it was lost for a time its asteroid number ( 1862 ) is higher than that of some other Apollo asteroids such as 1566 Icarus.

She discovered or co-discovered some comets, including periodic comets 38P / Stephan-Oterma and 39P / Oterma, and quite a number of asteroids.

At the time, the observatory at Heidelberg was a center for asteroid discovery by Max Wolf and Karl Reinmuth and others, and during his time there Bohrmann discovered a number of asteroids.

He also discovered a very large number of asteroids, including notably 2867 Šteins and the Trojan asteroid 2207 Antenor.

A number of other asteroids have since been named after Star Trek characters, as well as after musicians and other figures in pop culture.

Working at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory since 1978, she has discovered a number of asteroids, including the Amor asteroid 5324 Lyapunov and the Trojan asteroid 3063 Makhaon.

He also discovered a number of asteroids, including the Apollo asteroid 2201 Oljato and the Amor asteroid 2061 Anza.

He has discovered a number of asteroids including the Trojan asteroid.

These expenditures are estimated to be $12.1 billion, an increase of $187 million over 1960, reflecting additional longevity pay of career personnel, more dependents, an increased number of men drawing proficiency pay, and social security tax increases ( effective for the full year in 1961 compared with only 6 months in 1960 ).

After 1895 the number increases, and in the next thirty years there is only one year for which there is no dated poem -- 1903, when Hardy was at work on The Dynasts.

If all the operating variables were varied simultaneously, Af operations would be required to do the same job, and as R increases this increases very much more rapidly than the number of operations required by the dynamic program.

efficiency grows as the number of factors increases.

In general, the half-life becomes shorter as atomic number increases, though an " island of stability " may exist for undiscovered isotopes with certain numbers of protons and neutrons.

It has been observed through a variety of environments that as the level of abiotic stress increases, the number of species decreases.

The number of prescriptions for children and adolescents doubled to 4. 4 million between 2003 and 2006, in part because of increases in diagnoses of bipolar disorder.

This point should be taken in consideration for implementations with a different number of rounds, as even though it increases security against an exhaustive attack, it weakens the security guaranteed by the algorithm.

Osteocalcin increases both the insulin secretion and sensitivity, in addition to boosting the number of insulin-producing cells and reducing stores of fat.

One helpful analogy is that by creating multiple VLANs, the number of broadcast domains increases, but the size of each broadcast domain size decreases.

As the number of rounds increases, eventually, the expected loss will exceed the standard deviation, many times over.

As the number of rounds increases, the expected loss increases at a much faster rate.

This number grows very rapidly as n increases.

* As soon as the total number of simultaneous client requests made to a server increases, the server can become overloaded.

Overall, more than two million tourists visited Crete last year, and this increase in tourism is reflected on the number of hotel beds, rising by 53 % in the period between 1986 and 1991, when the rest of Greece saw increases of only 25 %.

Compression of the electron gas increases the number of electrons in a given volume and raises the maximum energy level in the occupied band.

However, this is a relatively small number especially when playing with more than four people, so many domino sets are " extended " by introducing ends with greater numbers of spots, which increases the number of unique combinations of ends and thus of pieces.

Each progressively larger set increases the maximum number of pips on an end by three, so the common extended sets are double-nine, double-twelve, double-fifteen and double-eighteen.

The irregular impurity distribution in the condensate ( that is efficiency of purification ) increases with number of repetitions of the process.

It is found that increasing the intensity of the incident radiation ( so long as one remains in the linear regime ) increases only the number of electrons ejected, and has almost no effect on the energy distribution of their ejection.

However, France has a number of MVNOs which increases competition.
