Blushing
Asteroids
 Colored

are probably freshly exposed surface.
Robert
Jedicke, an Institute for Asronomy associate
specialist, discusses Blushing Asteroids on Tues., Nov.
23, 12 p.m. in the Campus Center Executive Dining Room. For the
first time, astronomers can show that an asteroid surface changes
color as it ages, turning a slight reddish color. This links
meteorites to asteroids and allows the blush of age in the solar
system to be measured.
This lecture is part of the Ke Ka‘ana ‘Ike, a UH faculty seminar
series. Rsvp to (808) 539-3817 or email otted@hawaii.edu.
