So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.&nbsp;</p><h4>253 Mathilde</h4><p>Mathilde is a small C type asteroid, that was visited by the probe NEAR Shoemaker in its way to <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3703390">Eros</a>. The C type asteroids are composed of carbonaceous material, they are darker than other types. They are the most common type of asteroid, occupying more than the 75% of the total population. There is not any planet nor dwarf planet in the Solar System based on carbonaceous material, but it is theorised that a carbon based planet could exist in <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57340-exoplanets-scaled-one-in-120-million">other planetary systems</a>.</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Asteroid.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Sun.
