POLISHED HOWARDITE METEORITES - FROM 4 VESTA ASTEROID

Howardite is the name given to a type of achondritic meteorite that originated from the giant asteroid or minor-planet 4 Vesta. They were ejected from its surface by impacts from smaller asteroids. How many people know there is a minor planet called 4 Vesta in our solar system, let alone that we have found meteorites on Earth which were once part of it? It is one of just seven bodies in the Solar System that humans have physical samples of!
