3689 Yeates (1981 JJ2) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on May 5, 1981 by C. Shoemaker at Palomar Observatory. Named in honor of Anthony N. Yeates, geologist with the Bureau of Mineral Resources of the Commonwealth of Australia. In the course of regional geologic mapping at the southern edge of the Great Sandy desert of Western Australia, Yeates led a team of geologists that discovered the Veevers crater. This site, discovered in 1975, is the fifteenth and latest recognized locality throughout the world where meteorites have been found associated with an impact crater.〔 (PDF ) 〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「3689 Yeates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
