Has this been posted to the List, yet?
Apologies if it has, but I don't think so. It's not
everyday that a List member discovers a comet.
As many of you know, List member, Rob Matson, is a
very determined meteorite hunter, asteroid finder, and
All,
Reports are coming in that a large orange blue very bright fireball seen
in Northern Virginia. Observers saw it track to the north while others saw
it to the south which means it passed overhead in our geographical vicinity.
One observer heard a hissing sound - no detonations were reported
"Wow, sharp eyes."
Thanks, ... but I am almost blind without my glasses :-()
"When contrasting the two DIs in the overall slice, there
is a distinct difference in color."
That's right! The very dark inclusion left and slightly below center
may be one of those featureless DIs, whereas this one:
Hi Sterling and list,

The physics that govern high velocity impacts seem to have a something in
common with quantum physics... the are not quite to be approached with the
garden-variety logic ;-)))

Hi Bernd,
Wow, sharp eyes.
When contrasting the two DIs in the overall slice, there is a distinct
difference in color. Any thoughts? Also, the shape(s) of the DI(s) you
pointed out is rather striking.
Is that another larger less dark DI in the upper right, essentially in
the mirror opposite posi

Hello Martin, Matteo, and List,
"if you look at the pic, the DI (?) appears just off of center"
Yep, that's one of these DIs!

also mentions. Am I missing it, or is it absent."
I assume that it is only visible in BSE image
Hi Bernd, Matteo and All,
Vigarano is one of my favorite pieces. For a picture possibly showing
one of the dark regions Bernd mentions, have a look at the slice in my
recent Accretion Desk article. I got my 61g slice, complete with
Vienna Museum specimen number from Bob Haag. If you look at the pi

Hi All,
Evidently jealous of all the attention that 2003 UB313 (affectionately,
unofficially known as "Xena") and its satellite (likewise, "Gabrielle")
have been getting, the largest KBO, Pluto, has upped the ante:

Hi Michael. Yes, what you said was that:
"It [Fukang] was being offered at less than 10Euros a
gram in large chunks, I saw pieces from 100 grams to 2
kilos."
I believe the operative phrase here is 'LARGE chunks',
not beautiful, 10-20g translucent part slices, but
LARGE chunks.
2000g x 10 Euro/g
It is true that there is a lot of interesting stuff on the
Internet. However, if a person goes back to the primary
literature, they often find that some of this material, as
interesting as it might be, is based a odd collection of
misinformation, urban legends, and outright fiction.

Hi all,
maybe some of you are aware of Austria's beautiful
oriented Prambachkirchen meteorite.
I found a small twin-brother in Munich.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw it !
It's weight is about 10% of the Prambachkirchen.
Here's a pic of the original Prambachkirchen meteorite:
