Asteroids can be classified into two broad groups based on theircomposition and location: carbon-rich asteroids dominate the outerpart of the asteroid belt, whereas metal-rich asteroids dominatethe inner part of the belt. Analysis of the fragment we havediscussed in this project reveals that it contains nearly equalamounts of metals and carbon. Can you conclude that the originalwhole asteroid had a similar composition? Can you conclude with ahigh degree of confidence that the asteroid originated in themiddle regions of the asteroid belt? Explain your reasoning. If youwould need more data from the asteroid analysis, what would youlike to see?
