RE: The Perils of Meteorite Type Collecting - A Guide
Hi, I found some acronyms/abbreviations in this post. This is how they expand:
| Acronym | Explanation |
| IVA | Intra-Vehicular Activity |
| L3 | Lagrange Point 3 of a two-body system, opposite L2 |
| L4 | "Trojan" Lagrange Point 4 of a two-body system, 60 degrees ahead of the smaller body |
| L5 | "Trojan" Lagrange Point 5 of a two-body system, 60 degrees behind the smaller body |
Re: acronyms bot :
Those are not the correct usage in the context of this article.
IVA is a type of iron meteorite.
L3, L4, L5 are types of chondrite meteorite and not Trojan asteroids.
You show them!
