Asteroids

Asteroid is a rocky or metallic object, generally smaller than a planet but bigger than a meteoroid, that orbits the Sun or another star. Asteroids are also called minor planets. The largest asteroid, Ceres, however, has been classified as a dwarf planet.

More than 20,000 asteroids have been given official designations, most of them in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids outside this belt include the Trojans, which share Jupiter’s orbit, and the near-Earth asteroids. A number of different asteroid groups have been distinguished on the basis of their similar orbital characteristics. Other sub-planetary objects, considered distinct from asteroids, are Centaurs, Kuiper Belt objects, and comets, though classification is ambiguous in some cases.

Asteroids are divided into three major types depending on their chemical composition and their reflective power. Their chemical compositions are how much of each chemical they have and their combinations. Their reflective power is how much light they reflect. Let’s look at these types.

C-type: More than 75% of the known asteroids are C-type. They’re very dark. They have the same chemical composition as the Sun without hydrogen, helium and other volatiles that cause the Sun to burn hot.

S-type: 17% of the known asteroids are S-type. They’re relatively bright. These types are made of metallic nickel-iron, combined with iron and magnesium-silicates a composition that makes them more reflective.

M-type: about 7% of the known asteroids are M-type. These asteroids are extremely bright. They’re 100% nickel-iron and this composition gives them a lot of reflective power.

In Life script theory, some of the asteroids are treated at par with planets. In the cosmic language, if few words are missing, like any other language, then meaning of the paragraph can not be understood. This is one of the key reasons why astrology could not be proven so far.
