Some have stated that their composition is like that of carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. The first group are the C-type asteroids.
These are made from so-called carbonaceous materials, which are rich in. C-type asteroids predominate in the outer reaches of the asteroid belt. The largest known C-type asteroid is Hygiea. Their parent asteroids are thought to have formed in the inner asteroid belt. Ceres would still be a C-type asteroid, were it not now classified as a dwarf planet. Specifically, chondrite types 1 and 2 have been chemically altered in the. The asteroid Mathilde is another example of a C-type asteroid. Observation and ExplorationĬ-type asteroids are too dim to view without a telescope. A dark type of asteroid, commonest in the outer part of the main asteroid belt at a solar distance of about 4 AU, with a spectrum intermediate between that of C-type asteroids and D-type asteroids. Associated with the symbolism and archetypes of ancient Greek and Roman goddesses, the asteroids explore the many different shades and sacred dimensions of feminine energy. The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous mission made rendezvous with and photographed the asteroid Mathilde in June 1997 en route to its rendezvous with the asteroid Eros. P-type objects are distinguished from the spectrally similar E-type and M-type asteroids by their lower albedo (in the range 0.02 to 0.06).
