Re: [meteorite-list] Scalecube Family
Dear Doug, a really excellent synopsis! Some illustrations: Here we have the monument in Dacice, commemorating the production of the first sugar cube: http://www.zuckersammler.de/gfx/tauschtage/dacice_03_01.jpg A pilgrimage site for sugar cube fanatics from all over the World. These first produced cubes became popular as Viennese Sugar Cubes (Wiener Würfelzucker). Sugar cubes are an important field of private collecting, The number of collectors worldwide is estimated to exceed 2 million individuals, - compare to the 1000-2000 meteorite collectors in existence; the largest collections unite up to 150,000 specimens and locales. Indeed, as you presumed, the today's brand: Diamant-Zucker is still in the possession of the descendants of Eugen Langen, who improved 1870 the T cube production with his Langen'schen Würfelverfahren (and designed btw the Wuppertal Schwebebahn, the Steel Dragon). In dissociation to the Viennese Cube, he named his cubes Cologne Cubes. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/e/eb/Eugen-langen.jpg Today the Viennese Cubes are still a standard unit to visualize the sugar content of food and drinks in an equipollent of sugar cubes. (1 can of Coke contains 13 sugar cubes). The weight of the Viennese Cube in that case is 3.7 grams. (See also your 3.6grams of CH and Dixie Crystals cubes). Unfortunately I couldn't find the edge length of the Viennese standard cube (The Viennese Ur-cube was caramelized by the marauding mob during the Viennese October Revolt in 1848) From an unsecured source I read, that Diamant-Zucker, therefore the founders of the Cologne cube, is selling nowadays cuboids of roughly 1cm x 2cm x 2cm with a weight of 2grams (or so) as standard, hence half cubes. Here we have a painting, depicting Howard experimentalizing the ablation of meteorites while their fiery descents and the forming of flight-oriented shapes by dint of sugar. http://www.elvis-paintings.de/gfx/bilder/celebrity_art_ruehmann.jpg Here a modern construction of the test arrangement http://www.issuemanagement.de/images/feuerzangenbowle.jpg Side-product was the conical sugar loaf: http://home.clara.net/mawer/image-sugarloaf2.jpg but that's another chapter, Sugar...

There was an abundance of ammonites, considered index organisms of the uppermost Cretaceous environment.

Re: [meteorite-list] Since Scale Cubes are a topic today
Hi, Matthias said the introduction of the scalecube into the natural scene is the insertion of the Absolute, the Platonic Ideal. Yes, true, and, as such, tells us so much more about the beings making the photograph than it does about the object being photographed. As for using scalecubes as a basis for measuration, you can utilize an existing arsenal of projective geometric calculation in a pinch. But, if what you wanted from the start was measurement, you would photograph everything by placing it inside a half cube -- floor, back, and side -- that was white and gridded off in your choice of units (centimeters, inches, or the 60th part of a Babylonian cubit), and shooting it at different orientations (6). It would then be medium easy to use a computer algorithm that would convert the images to measurements or a 3D model in a few teraflops. This is what should be done with meteorites (and Moon Rocks, and pieces of UFO's if you got'em). Then, instead of pictures of the Meteorite of the Day, we would have the virtual object of the Meteorite of the Day.

Re: [meteorite-list] Since Scale Cubes are a topic today
Yeah I guess it would be nice to have a 3D laser scanning machine to scan all my meteorites into. However I don't have a few hundred thousand dollars (or maybe millions) to spend right now on something like this. So I'll have to settle for the next best thing (and the cheapest) using my very own scale cube I paid 25 bucks for. Either way, I think the scale cube is excellent for figuring out the general size of an object in a photograph. It's better than using a coin because you get that third dimension that coins lack.

[meteorite-list] Thin Section Box by PolandMET
Hi I like build different things, especialy when I think out new project. This time I want present easy to use, field use recomended box for see thin section in cross polarized light. You need only loupe, light and thin section :) step 1 First of all, we need to buy one thin section box from Jensen Meteorites http://www.jensenmeteorites.com/supplies.htm http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts1.jpg They are perfect for storage thin section except one thing. Designer forgot about any corner or something else for our fingers that let us to open this box. New boxes are impossible to open without help of knife or other tool. Step2 So first thing we need to do is take top of this box and polish, using pile tool, two shorter edges of box on angle 45*. When we do this and close box we will have space for our finger nail that let us open box. It also necessary to do this on all boxes we use to store our thin sections. I have made this on my 100 boxes and its much easer to open them, and it cost less stress when inside is expensive thin section and box dont want let us to open it. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts2.jpg Step3 Now is time to cut square hole in both halfs of TS box. Hole must have size similar to the size of meteorite in standard thin section. Dont make too big hole becouse box can be broken while preparing it or later. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts3.jpg. Step4 Now we must polish edges of our new hole. Make sure hole size is similar in both half's of TS Box. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts4.jpg Step5 Now I make small holes on surface of box on all sides to make it more stable when we hold it. Box is very flat and extreme smooth and it like to fly out of your hands, especially when inside is thin section worth few hundreds of $$$. Remember Murphy Law's ! http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts5a.jpg http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts5b.jpg Step6 Now we buy polarize filter from www.3dlens.com (I purchased A4 size). We cut two square samples that will fit inside of each half of TS Box. REMEMBER to cut them in 90* angle to each other. When You put them together You must see nothing through them. If they will become black, then they are in cross position. Prepare glue for glass/plexiglass/plastic and small sponge 2-3mm thin. Put some glue inside of each half of TS Box and put there filters. REMEMBER to remove folio layer from both sides of polarize filter before You will glue them with TS Box. When You put filters inside box, close it WITH sponge inside. It will make good connection beeween box and polarize filter while glue become dry. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts6.jpg Step7 If You not glued two halfs of TS Box together , then You will be able to open it after several minutes. My box looks like this. Pretty funny but extremelly usefull. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts7.jpg Step8 finito Now crash test :) Pretty easy to use everywhere. In Tucson show or in desert of Oman. Its undetectable by metal detectors, so You can take it to the plane without risk. Police dogs from drugs section will also not find my TSBox :) It take a hour to do my TSBox. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts8.jpg Have Fun ! -[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]- http://www.Meteoryty.pl marcin(at)meteoryty.pl http://www.PolandMET.com marcin(at)meteorite.pl http://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM +48(607)535 195 [ Member of Polish Meteoritical Society ] __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Since Scale Cubes are a topic today
Maybe, scalecubes are just more Fun? No, they are a simple clue for the beholder to estimate the size of the pictured stone. If any reference is missing, one couldn't judge whether the meteorite has the size of an egg or a basketball. If you put a Tim Heitz on top of the Campo main mass, although we all might have the same concepts of a man, it will look less impressive as if you would let a Marcin Cimala sit on it. If I make a picture with my cat and the meteorite, the meteorite will look larger, as if Anne Black would use her cat for the same stone, as her cat is larger than mine. A quarter or a dime as scale hasn't anybody around the globe always at hand. Matches and their boxes are produced in many different sizes, the non-smoker hasn't any in the pocket, the smoker often a lighter. Therefore one need a uniform mean of scale, which all understand and could imagine or at leat be able to reproduce in a way. That's the scale cube, not more, but also not less. Quite trivial. You may now speculate, in how far the individual concept or imagination of such a scale cube on a picture, will converge with a cubic centimetre in reality, but as a rough indication, how small or large a stone might be, it's o.k. Let's say it different, if in the scene in the movie, where King Kong fights in 1933 with a dinosaur a scale cube would have been hidden, the spectators wouldn't have been so scared... And remember a picture often comes not alone. If you have a set, a series of pictures with different meteorites, but always a cube included, the beholder can use the pictured cube as tertium comparationis, therefore he can judge much more better the sizes of the stones relatively to each other. - see e.g. Twelker's homepage and if he has such a cube at home, then.. Well, of course other scale items, if widely known, could be used, but such a cube with it's letter makes certainly more scientific impression. Best!

Here is a picture, the real prop is on top and my replica is on the bottom http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Flashhiders.jpg Bear in mind that this is just one image of a single prop, they used a variety of props and each had variances in the parts. For instance in the above picture the holes are look smaller but there are other pictures that they look bigger. However, when I compared my replica to a real MG-81 Flash Hider most of my measurements were off by less then .005 of

Hi List:
I am trying this again since my previouys forward did not appear to go
through.
On November 13, this newly-discovered asteroid (only about 20 meters
diameter) will pass within 2 Earth radii of the CENTER of the Earth (that
is close). It will be 9th magnitude (about 50-100 times too faint to see
with the naked eye), but show be observable with a small telescope (if it
is night where you are when it comes by and you know were to look).
Go to the cfa.harvard site for coordiantes, etc. I can interpret columns
if you are interested.
I am sure there will be more about this in the coming days.

2007 VN84 is significant in that it not only comes closer, it is much
bigger, around 20 m in diameter, compared to 2004 FU162 only about
1/3 that
size. Based on our recent population estimates, we expect an object
the
size of 2004 FU162 to pass within a couple Earth radii about once a
year,
and to actually impact (actually, blow up in the upper atmosphere)
about
once in five years, so the only thing unusual about 2004 FU162 is
that we
saw it as it passed by. 2007 VN84, on the other hand, is so large
that we
expect omething that big to come as close as 2 radii only about

it was discovered and can be watched flying by. Congratulations to

Re: [meteorite-list] Thin Section Box by PolandMET
Waaay cool, Marcin! Jim Baxter Hi I like build different things, especialy when I think out new project. This time I want present easy to use, field use recomended box for see thin section in cross polarized light. You need only loupe, light and thin section :) step 1 First of all, we need to buy one thin section box from Jensen Meteorites http://www.jensenmeteorites.com/supplies.htm http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts1.jpg They are perfect for storage thin section except one thing. Designer forgot about any corner or something else for our fingers that let us to open this box. New boxes are impossible to open without help of knife or other tool. Step2 So first thing we need to do is take top of this box and polish, using pile tool, two shorter edges of box on angle 45*. When we do this and close box we will have space for our finger nail that let us open box. It also necessary to do this on all boxes we use to store our thin sections. I have made this on my 100 boxes and its much easer to open them, and it cost less stress when inside is expensive thin section and box dont want let us to open it. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts2.jpg Step3 Now is time to cut square hole in both halfs of TS box. Hole must have size similar to the size of meteorite in standard thin section. Dont make too big hole becouse box can be broken while preparing it or later. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts3.jpg. Step4 Now we must polish edges of our new hole. Make sure hole size is similar in both half's of TS Box. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts4.jpg Step5 Now I make small holes on surface of box on all sides to make it more stable when we hold it. Box is very flat and extreme smooth and it like to fly out of your hands, especially when inside is thin section worth few hundreds of $$$. Remember Murphy Law's ! http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts5a.jpg http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts5b.jpg Step6 Now we buy polarize filter from www.3dlens.com (I purchased A4 size). We cut two square samples that will fit inside of each half of TS Box. REMEMBER to cut them in 90* angle to each other. When You put them together You must see nothing through them. If they will become black, then they are in cross position. Prepare glue for glass/plexiglass/plastic and small sponge 2-3mm thin. Put some glue inside of each half of TS Box and put there filters. REMEMBER to remove folio layer from both sides of polarize filter before You will glue them with TS Box. When You put filters inside box, close it WITH sponge inside. It will make good connection beeween box and polarize filter while glue become dry. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts6.jpg Step7 If You not glued two halfs of TS Box together , then You will be able to open it after several minutes. My box looks like this. Pretty funny but extremelly usefull. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts7.jpg Step8 finito Now crash test :) Pretty easy to use everywhere. In Tucson show or in desert of Oman. Its undetectable by metal detectors, so You can take it to the plane without risk. Police dogs from drugs section will also not find my TSBox :) It take a hour to do my TSBox. http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/ts8.jpg Have Fun ! -[ MARCIN CIMALA ]-[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]- http://www.Meteoryty.pl marcin(at)meteoryty.pl http://www.PolandMET.com marcin(at)meteorite.pl http://www.Gao-Guenie.com GSM +48(607)535 195 [ Member of Polish Meteoritical Society ] __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Rosetta gravity assist flyby
Someone has a sense of humour, especially the flying couch comment !
So, will closest approach be 20:57, 21:04, 21:13 UT, or undetermined, and
who will get the view? I think Rosetta won't be rising until 21:15 where
I'm at in southern North America, and at close approach will be moving at
around 3 degrees (6 full moons) per minute. That is a little
challenging.especially if the spacecraft is not oriented to reflect much
back.
Thanks kindly,

Hi, Using the List to get a message to Larry Lebofsky, since that's the only way I can email him (I think). I got a message from my mailer-demon that says: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 150.135.111.1 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Access denied Giving up on 150.135.111.1. That's mailer-demon-talk for a Block, where a potential recipient has told their mail program that they don't want to receive mail from that specific sender, so their mailer-demon politely informs my mailer-demon to Take This Mail and * It. I'm assuming that you may be able to get a List post that originates with me. Or not. I don't know that much about mailer-demon ettiquette and protocol; they're so touchy. If you get two copies of this message, then I am not now blocked by your mailbox. If you get only one copy of this message, then only direct mail from me is blocked by your mailbox, and you could go and tell your mailer-demon to unblock me.. If you get no copies of this message, then you will know that your mailbox is blocked to my mail even in direct origination, so you'd have to go and tell your mailer-demon to unblock me. No, wait... There's a flaw in that logical flypaper. That's what comes of dealing with demons, even mere mailer-demons of the Unix variety which I believe are on the lowest rung of the Infernal Career Ladder.

Hi List:
I am trying this again since my previouys forward did not appear to go
through.
On November 13, this newly-discovered asteroid (only about 20 meters
diameter) will pass within 2 Earth radii of the CENTER of the Earth (that
is close). It will be 9th magnitude (about 50-100 times too faint to see
with the naked eye), but show be observable with a small telescope (if it
is night where you are when it comes by and you know were to look).
Go to the cfa.harvard site for coordiantes, etc. I can interpret columns
if you are interested.
I am sure there will be more about this in the coming days.

2007 VN84 is significant in that it not only comes closer, it is much

1/3 that

Re: [meteorite-list] Rosetta gravity assist flyby
This incident, along with previous NEOCP postings of the WMAP spacecraft,
highlights the deplorable state of availability of positional information on
distant artificial objects (whether in earth orbit or in solar orbit). The
Distant Artificial Satellites Observations (DASO) page on the MPC website
(http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/SpaceJunk/SpaceJunk.html)
...A.U. Tomatic
Hi Listees,
I just extracted this from the web page Chris kindly provided with the
awakening :-) Good material for a sci-horror thriller
Looks like 1 AU Tomatic is the fall guy signing off. I don't think the ESA
will bother to register Rosetta on their Space Junk webpage If there
wasn't a sense of humor before, there certainly is one now. Statistically,
one needs to strongly question whether someone knew what what happening and
just wanted to see if they could pull it off. Seeing a spacecraft traveling
12 km/s still six and a half days away on a near collision course with Earth
and not raising a scandal of what if's knowing it's size conveniently ...
even if you knew exactly where to look this is all pretty incredible. It
almost deserves a designation for that alone ... found it right where it was
supposed to be at around the 20th magnitude or so? Can anyone locate the
honorable Dr. AU Tomatic ? I 'm not getting my hopes up about how well we
can detect these objectsit still smells like a prank to me.
Keep Looking Up,
Doug

Dear Listees: Many of you know Leigh Anne DelRay. She is a jeweler and silversmith, meteorite collector, and is admired for her meteorite jewelry which is regularly featured at the annual Denver meteorite auction. She lived in Denver for a number of years and was a member of the Denver COMETS. Just about a year ago she moved to Tucson, and now works for me part time as an office and design assistant. She is also a well known seller on eBay. As Leigh Anne has many friends in the meteorite community, I felt I should let you all know that she is going into hospital, here in Tucson, for serious heart surgery on Monday. Her surgeon has a good success rate with this very specialized operation, but there is considerable risk involved. If any of you would care to send get well cards, notes, or letters to Leigh Anne, please address them to my P.O. Box, and I will deliver them to her as soon as she's well enough to receive visitors.

[meteorite-list] Fwd: Randall Gregory strikes again!
-- Forwarded message -- From: Joe Kerchner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Nov 9, 2007 11:12 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Randall Gregory strikes again! To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello listees, Here is a really interesting post at The SkyRock Cafe from Mr. Randall Greggory, he calls Mr. farmer a phony and accuses farmer of falsely calling himself a Dr. If I remember correctly he was the fake Dr. on the list. This is a very lengthy post from Randall, it goes into great detail of his version of the entire Carancas story from fall up til today. http://illinoismeteorites.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1193152271 Best wishes, Joe Kerchner http://illinoismeteorites.com http://illinoismeteorites.com/yabb/YaBB.pl On Nov 7, 2007 3:54 PM, Darren Garrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://media.wildcat.arizona.edu/media/storage/paper997/news/2007/11/06/Extra/Police.Beat-3080688.shtml Police were dispatched to the Kuiper Space Sciences building, 1629 E.

The man said he understood but that he believed the UA had stolen $2.5 million worth of meteorites from him, and that is why he e-mailed the woman. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Re-Modeled Website.
Hello everybody, I am done! I think. And just on time for the weekend. I have never liked those buttons on the right-hand column of my website, and after much beating my head against the wall (I am not a programmer!!) I believe I got rid of them, and replaced them by links at the top and bottom of every page. Go take a look and tell me what you think: _www.IMPACTIKA.com_ (http://www.IMPACTIKA.com) And while I was at it, I also changed a few other things. I now have way too many pieces to list all of them on the Meteorites page, so the Catalog is where you will find a complete list, and on the Meteorites page, you will now find additional pages for my most unusual/rare/new/spectacular pieces. I hope that will work better. So please take a look at both and tell me if you like it. Also I updated my list of Thin-Sections. But I have already been warned that there is a big package coming my way!. Of course if you find any bugs, links that don't work,etc... Please do let me know. Enjoy. Anne M.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fwd: Randall Gregory strikes again!
What is interesting about it? This guy is a proven liar like 50 times over here on this list. He lied about buying material, he lied about beinga doctor, he lied about being a lawyer, he lied about everthing he has said. Anyone still believe that spew he writes? In my book, someone who lies in every email no longer has a shred of credibility.
