Mal,

Thanks for the post and the heads up. Definitely have to watch it!

They put this program together even faster than I thought they would, as back 
on Feb 15th I posted this ( in part) to the List:

This fall will almost certainly be featured in all the future meteorite themed 
programs. Perhaps NOVA will do a nice episode on it soon. 

I'm certain that many others felt NOVA would make such a program too, but it is 
good to see that my prediction from the very first day of the fall came true so 
quickly, just short of 6 weeks later. Can't wait to see it.

Thanks again.

Best,
Robert Woolard

[meteorite-list] Saturn is Like an Antiques Shop, Cassini Suggests

2013-03-27 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-117  

Saturn is Like an Antiques Shop, Cassini Suggests
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
March 26, 2013

A new analysis of data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft suggests that
Saturn's moons and rings are gently worn vintage goods from around the
time of our solar system's birth.

Though they are tinted on the surface from recent pollution, these
bodies date back more than 4 billion years. They are from around the
time that the planetary bodies in our neighborhood began to form out of
the protoplanetary nebula, the cloud of material still orbiting the sun
after its ignition as a star. The paper, led by Gianrico Filacchione, a
Cassini participating scientist at Italy's National Institute for
Astrophysics, Rome, has just been published online by the Astrophysical
Journal.

Studying the Saturnian system helps us understand the chemical and
physical evolution of our entire solar system, said Filacchione. We
know now that understanding this evolution requires not just studying a
single moon or ring, but piecing together the relationships intertwining
these bodies.

Data from Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIMS) have
revealed how water ice and also colors -- which are the signs of
non-water and organic materials --are distributed throughout the
Saturnian system. The spectrometer's data in the visible part of the
light spectrum show that coloring on the rings and moons generally is
only skin-deep.

Using its infrared range, VIMS also detected abundant water ice - too
much to have been deposited by comets or other recent means. So the
authors deduce that the water ices must have formed around the time of
the birth of the solar system, because Saturn orbits the sun beyond the
so-called snow line. Out beyond the snow line, in the outer solar
system where Saturn resides, the environment is conducive to preserving
water ice, like a deep freezer. Inside the solar system's snow line,
the environment is much closer to the sun's warm glow, and ices and
other volatiles dissipate more easily.

The colored patina on the ring particles and moons roughly corresponds
to their location in the Saturn system. For Saturn's inner ring
particles and moons, water-ice spray from the geyser moon Enceladus has
a whitewashing effect.

Farther out, the scientists found that the surfaces of Saturn's moons
generally were redder the farther they orbited from Saturn. Phoebe, one
of Saturn's outer moons and an object thought to originate in the
far-off Kuiper Belt, seems to be shedding reddish dust that eventually
rouges the surface of nearby moons, such as Hyperion and Iapetus.

A rain of meteoroids from outside the system appears to have turned some
parts of the main ring system - notably the part of the main rings known
as the B ring -- a subtle reddish hue. Scientists think the reddish
color could be oxidized iron -- rust -- or polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, which could be progenitors of more complex organic molecules.

One of the big surprises from this research was the similar reddish
coloring of the potato-shaped moon Prometheus and nearby ring particles.
Other moons in the area were more whitish.

The similar reddish tint suggests that Prometheus is constructed from
material in Saturn's rings, said co-author Bonnie Buratti, a VIMS team
member based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
Scientists had been wondering whether ring particles could have stuck
together to form moons -- since the dominant theory was that the rings
basically came from satellites being broken up. The coloring gives us
some solid proof that it can work the other way around, too.

Observing the rings and moons with Cassini gives us an amazing
bird's-eye view of the intricate processes at work in the Saturn system,
and perhaps in the evolution of planetary systems as well, said Linda
Spilker, Cassini project scientist, based at JPL. What an object looks
like and how it evolves depends a lot on location, location, location.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology,
Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate,
Washington, D.C. The visual and infrared mapping spectrometer team is
based at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

 Team Meteorite:
 
 In the last hours many list contributors have opined on the
 'worth/value' and predicted availability of this latest and greatest
 meteorite fall occurring in Russia.
 
 Like every collector, I wish to eventually own a piece of the
 Chelyabinsk meteorite, who's dramatic escapade was captured so many
 times by dash-cams installed by drivers dedicated to thwarting the
 mischievous. Thanks to corrupt cops, really, really bad drivers and
 suicide-bent pedestrians, we have a library of video unrivaled in
 history. Some will argue (mostly sellers of meteorites) that this is a
 'one off' event, and any specimens offered today demand a premium.
 
 This is true.
 
 Until the next time.
 
 As with stocks, real estate, Van Goghs and flea-market hubcaps, most
 of us want to 'buy low' even if we never intend to sell. Certainly,
 those who pay $50 or $70 or $1,000 a gram today will not love and
 respect their personal specimen as much a couple of years from now if
 they see dealers offering kilos of the same material @ $1/gram, Buy
 one get one free'.
 
 OK. I probably exaggerate.
 
 This we know. The MetBull predicts a TKW of 100-500kg. That's a
 whole lot of weight to move when offered on eBay as 0.12 gram micros
 starting at .01 cents, no reserve.
 
 As noted by a list member, and in a scary sign carelessly edited out
 of 'Revelations' confirming that the Apocalypse is near, Mike Farmer
 (his real name) agrees with Steve Anold (likely an alias) that Russian
 customs officials demanding your pay-pahs, please coupled with
 slushy snow will keep the pristine specimens, even the
 teeny-bit-of-rusty W=1 pieces off of the market, making for a 'firmer'
 price this moment until ?
 
 Steve articulates well his way around 'roll overs' and Michael has
 been there, done that, and his opinion demands respect.
 
 So I'll guess that for now, we best defer to these sound arguments.
 
 But marketing forces always prevail. The Russian border is porous.
 Capitalism will yet again raise its Keynesian head over the heavy fist
 of communism in the form of contraband. The Cossacks will ride again.
 
 And as interest wanes, and customs officials become less interested in
 what LEAVES Moscow and more interested in taxing imported flat screen
 TV's, every Russian dealer arriving in the 'free world' will be
 competing with his brethren price-wise (and for those hopers and
 dreamers, nothing is 'free' in the 'free world', that's an ironic
 political slogan).
 
 And for sure, any material brought to Tucson will never return to the
 Fatherland.
 
 Or Motherland, whatever.
 
 So
 
 For our fun and your profit, I will offer a prize to the person that
 publicly, on this very list, CORRECTLY PREDICTS THE AVERAGE PRICE PER
 GRAM of all types of Chelyabinsk specimens (average price determined
 from individuals, slices, primary crusted, secondary crusted,
 uncrusted, frags, oriented, disoriented, rollover lips, roll-under
 lips, hot lips, hot lips with holes, hot lips with facial decoration,
 oriented-with-holes-and-rollover hot lips, etc.) AS DETERMINED by my
 bi-annual survey of all qualified dealer's websites. AND, in case I
 need a tiebreaker, you MUST also mention how many dealers will offer
 this as sales inventory, both estimates as published on the internet
 by midnight calculated from my house in the mango grove, November 30,
 2014.
 
 Example - US$5.25/gram, 18 dealers.
 
 Your prizes will be a copy of The Global Meteorite Price Report -
 2015 as prepared by me, at least a $15 value depending upon the
 demise of the US$1, AND an ebook copy of The Art of Collecting
 Meteorites, presently on Amazon for $9.99 which just happens to
 describe the economics of meteorite pricing on p 70-71- When to buy.
 
 FYI - I am the messenger, not a genius in solving this 'pricing/value
 equation'. Nininger, Norton, Foote and Wulfing were my references.
 
 But hey, take a chance, win a prize, everyone likes a prize,
 especially when they don't even have to purchase a lottery ticket!
 Maybe there IS something FREE in the 'free world'.
 
 So the gauntlet is thrown.
 
 Contest entries must appear publicly on this Meteorite-Central
 bulletin board by midnight, Easter night, March 31 Eastern (USA)
 Daylight Savings Time to be considered.
 
 Limited to one entry per household. In case the winner 'expires'
 before the contest ends, his/her heirs/next of kin will be awarded the
 prizes. All taxes, duties and baksheesh are the responsibility of the
 winner. By submitting entries, contestants from Italy agree to play
 fair and accept the decision of the judge, me. Contestants from the
 People's Republic of China (begs the question, if it wasn't 'People'
 what WOULD it be) agree NEVER to invade my computer with
 spyware/malware/dishware and use it as a malicious robot tool to bring
 down the 'free world' (see comment re: free world above).
 

[meteorite-list] House-AD: The Meteorite House sells World's Most Beautiful Iron Meteorite

2013-03-27 Thread Martin Altmann
Hello World,

in its unbearable modesty The Meteorite House pushes on the Olympus its throne 
closer to Hephaestus'
in giving you today the great privilege to have access to the last fullslices 
of the fractal iron
NWA 7335.

NWA 7335 IS the most beautiful and most spectacular iron among the 1074 iron 
meteorites, the Bulletin lists.
Full stop.


Happy those, who own already their slice and will freely share with you their 
amazement arising,
whenever they take a look on their specimen, cause that, what they observe, is 
truly unbelievable!:

The kamacite, forming the Widmanstätter pattern has not the usual shape of 
straight bars and bands,
but you'll find it in form of twisted bundles, almost plaited like pigtails!! !!
The baffled geometrician will find to his wondrousness intersection angles of 
60° and even 70°!
The size of the pigtail pattern is about that of a medium octahedrite,
nevertheless - it's getting even better:
The plessite fields between the pattern, they aren't empty,
but full of myriads of tiny spindles, which in some fields repeat the 
Widmanstaetter pattern on a small, down to microscopic scale, while in other 
fields they form own geometrical patterns!!
Absolutely unique and aesthetically a true bomb.
Mysterious and enigmatic must be its genesis.

Enjoy:

Find the classification here,
of course the type is unique too:  An ungrouped, plessitic Octahedrite.
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=55763


It is evident and easy to foresee, that without an NWA 7335 any serious iron 
meteorite collection will remain incomplete forever.
That iron represents on the iron meteorite sector the quintessence of more than 
30 years of cold and hot desert hunting
and you'll agree that it is apt, to crown and to complete a long and rich life 
of an iron meteorite specialist.
(No worries, also the next 30 years we will be there for you).

In those times of Mercurian prices, of pecuniary valuations of watery Martians, 
of groundshaking LL5s or Indian-Katolic H5s crazinesses, you'll see us to be 
much too old-fashioned in filling out the price tags. Our failure shall be your 
luck.

Hereso are the last fullslices. More material isn't left from the 4.9kg that 
meteorite originally had.
(And one of the slices we need still for the most prominent iron pope, so 
better give us also an alternative choice).

All slices are ennobled on one side by the incredibly contrast-rich Meteorite 
House Finish (MHF),
the other side is rough from the saw (ultrahard it is, that iron).
Only the smallest slice has MHF on both sides.

 
29.05g  (both sides MHF prepared) 726$ 562€

NWA 7335! -
Who, that hath no eyes to see, no heart to feel, shall never be called a 
serious collector again!

And whoever dares to call this iron nice, won't get any of it.


Now good luck to all!
Obeisances  homages, also those of North Korean style, we'll accept this time 
only publically here on the list,
for people not erroneously thinking, that NWA 7335 would be only an insiders' 
tip
and because of the wave of influenza raging in Germany, the Meteorite House is 
currently not able,
to inflate NWA 7335 to that living legend, it already is and ever will be.

Atchoo!

 of 'Revelations' confirming that the Apocalypse is near, Mike Farmer
 (his real name) agrees with Steve Anold (likely an alias) that Russian
 customs officials demanding your pay-pahs, please coupled with
 slushy snow will keep the pristine specimens, even the
 teeny-bit-of-rusty W=1 pieces off of the market, making for a 'firmer'
 price this moment until ?

 Steve articulates well his way around 'roll overs' and Michael has
 been there, done that, and his opinion demands respect.

 So I'll guess that for now, we best defer to these sound arguments.

 But marketing forces always prevail. The Russian border is porous.
 Capitalism will yet again raise its Keynesian head over the heavy fist
 of communism in the form of contraband. The Cossacks will ride again.

 And as interest wanes, and customs officials become less interested in
 what LEAVES Moscow and more interested in taxing imported flat screen
 TV's, every Russian dealer arriving in the 'free world' will be
 competing with his brethren price-wise (and for those hopers and
 dreamers, nothing is 'free' in the 'free world', that's an ironic
 political slogan).

 And for sure, any material brought to Tucson will never return to the
 Fatherland.

 Or Motherland, whatever.

 So

 For our fun and your profit, I will offer a prize to the person that
 publicly, on this very list, CORRECTLY PREDICTS THE AVERAGE PRICE PER
 GRAM of all types of Chelyabinsk specimens (average price determined
 from individuals, slices, primary crusted, secondary crusted,
 uncrusted, frags, oriented, disoriented, rollover lips, roll-under
 lips, hot lips, hot lips with holes, hot lips with facial decoration,
 oriented-with-holes-and-rollover hot lips, etc.) AS DETERMINED by my
 bi-annual survey of all qualified dealer's websites. AND, in case I
 need a tiebreaker, you MUST also mention how many dealers will offer
 this as sales inventory, both estimates as published on the internet
 by midnight calculated from my house in the mango grove, November 30,
 2014.

 Example - US$5.25/gram, 18 dealers.

 Your prizes will be a copy of The Global Meteorite Price Report -
 2015 as prepared by me, at least a $15 value depending upon the
 demise of the US$1, AND an ebook copy of The Art of Collecting
 Meteorites, presently on Amazon for $9.99 which just happens to
 describe the economics of meteorite pricing on p 70-71- When to buy.

 FYI - I am the messenger, not a genius in solving this 'pricing/value
 equation'. Nininger, Norton, Foote and Wulfing were my references.

 But hey, take a chance, win a prize, everyone likes a prize,
 especially when they don't even have to purchase a lottery ticket!
 Maybe there IS something FREE in the 'free world'.

 So the gauntlet is thrown.

 Contest entries must appear publicly on this Meteorite-Central
 bulletin board by midnight, Easter night, March 31 Eastern (USA)
 Daylight Savings Time to be considered.

 Limited to one entry per household. In case the winner 'expires'
 before the contest ends, his/her heirs/next of kin will be awarded the
 prizes. All taxes, duties and baksheesh are the responsibility of the
 winner. By submitting entries, contestants from Italy agree to play
 fair and accept the decision of the judge, me. Contestants from the
 People's Republic of China (begs the question, if it wasn't 'People'
 what WOULD it be) agree NEVER to invade my computer with
 spyware/malware/dishware and use it as a

[meteorite-list] From the Admin - Reminder about email formatting

2013-03-27 Thread Art Jones
Good Afternoon;

I wanted to remind everyone that the mailing list software will only process 
-plain text- emails. If your email contains rich text or html formatting the 
list server will bounce the email and it won't go out to list members.   I've 
noticed an increase over the last several months in formatting related bounces 
so I wanted to send out a quick reminder.

Best Regards, Art

Re: [meteorite-list] PBS NOVA Program, Meteor Strike (tonight: 3/27/13)

2013-03-27 Thread Mal Bishop

Hi Shawn, Robert, Martin, and all --

I may be totally wrong, but my understanding is this is a different 
program since it is a production of WGBH Boston producers of PBS 
programming such as NOVA, and since
they mention they sent their NOVA crews to Russia shortly after the 
fall to document the event from all aspects. WGBH is PBS’s single 
largest producer of Web and TV content -- they produce
programming such as NOVA,**Frontline, etc. so i think this is an 
entirely new and separate entity from the one Martin has pointed out. 
...but maybe they used portions
of the programing Martin is pointing out, or there was a collaboration, 
or PBS/ETV here in the US is in partnership with Channel 4 (UK), or 
whatever. It's hard keeping up with global corporate entities and their 
intermingling
anymore. Our once seemingly large planet is getting very small very 
quickly in many ways these days. So many corporations have ties with 
each other world wide who knows what is what anymore.
I tried to do a little investigating to see if there was a tie in to 
what Martin pointed out and see if Channel 4 and PBS (and WGBH Boston) 
had connections, but I couldn't determine anything one way or the other 
with the little time I had to

investigate. Maybe one of our members can clear this up for all of us?

Well, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong! :-)

Maybe someone can call him and let him know what's going on.
