'''M-type asteroids''' are a type of asteroid or minor planet. Asteroids are generally classified into broad categories such as C-type, S-type, or M-type according to their brightness and color. Brightness, or albedo, is a measurement of how well the object reflects light. Albedo ranges from 0 (perfectly black) to 1 (perfectly reflecting).<ref>http://www.planetary.org/explore/topics/near_earth_objects/asteroids_and_comets/facts.html</ref> | '''M-type asteroids''' are a type of asteroid or minor planet.
