Hi Darren
What an interesting name: Santa Catarina. There is actually already a
meteorite on earth called Santa Catharina. I wonder if that will be enough
of a difference to keep that name. Interestingly Santa Catharina is most
likely a spelling error and should actually be spelled Santa Catarina. Since
it has been spelled wrong for so long the misspelling is actually set in
stone and will not be changed.

Mike
