Hello List,

   There was an article, it seems like within the last
2-5 years but could be more, in either an issue of
Astronomy or Sky and Telescope magazine, that
predicted there would be a VERY high concentration of
meteorites per square kilometer on Mars. I've tried
searching both magazines archives on line, but I was
unable to locate the article. (Perhaps someone else
with more "savvy-searching-skills" will be able to
find it.) But I DO know it was in one of these mags.,
and I DO remember that it was a short article stating
that meteorites would be very plentiful on the surface
of Mars. It gave a figure for the estimated number per
square kilometer that I cannot recall precisely, but I
DO remember being impressed.

   Also, in my searching. I did find this different
article that might be of interest:

   Sincerely,
