Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Picture of the Day
A nice photo of this specimen in front of Mr. Kolbay's drawings of what he and Mr. Rainer saw from near Eperies (today Prešov, Slovakia), ~ 92 km from the Knyahinya strewnfield, as presented by W. R. v. Haidinger in 1866. Thanks for sharing, Herbert!

Webb Auditorium, 300 E Street, SW, Washington, D.C. Capacity Note: Onsite-attendance will be limited by seating capacity. Register now On June 18, NASA will host an event in which experts will provide details about NASA's asteroid initiative, including the observation campaign, the orbital tracking, robotic components, the human elements, and enhanced focus on planetary defense. We will describe our upcoming planning timeline and clearly identify opportunities and processes for providing input into our planning. During this public forum, NASA will also release a Request for Information (RFI) to seek new ideas for mission elements and describe the process for submitting your ideas to NASA so that NASA teams may consider your innovative solutions and/or participation.

[meteorite-list] Mars Water-Ice Clouds Are Key to Odd Thermal Rhythm (MRO)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-201 Mars Water-Ice Clouds Are Key to Odd Thermal Rhythm Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 12, 2013 PASADENA, Calif. -- Researchers using NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have found that temperatures in the Martian atmosphere regularly rise and fall not just once each day, but twice. We see a temperature maximum in the middle of the day, but we also see a temperature maximum a little after midnight, said Armin Kleinboehl of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., who is the lead author of a new report on these findings. Temperatures swing by as much as 58 degrees Fahrenheit (32 kelvins) in this odd, twice-a-day pattern, as detected by the orbiter's Mars Climate Sounder instrument. The new set of Mars Climate Sounder observations sampled a range of times of day and night all over Mars. The observations found that the pattern is dominant globally and year-round. The report is being published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Global oscillations of wind, temperature and pressure repeating each day or fraction of a day are called atmospheric tides. In contrast to ocean tides, they are driven by variation in heating between day and night. Earth has atmospheric tides, too, but the ones on Earth produce little temperature difference in the lower atmosphere away from the ground. On Mars, which has only about one percent as much atmosphere as Earth, they dominate short-term temperature variations throughout the atmosphere. Tides that go up and down once per day are called diurnal. The twice-a-day ones are called semi-diurnal. The semi-diurnal pattern on Mars was first seen in the 1970s, but until now it had been thought to appear just in dusty seasons, related to sunlight warming dust in the atmosphere. We were surprised to find this strong twice-a-day structure in the temperatures of the non-dusty Mars atmosphere, Kleinboehl said. While the diurnal tide as a dominant temperature response to the day-night cycle of solar heating on Mars has been known for decades, the discovery of a persistent semi-diurnal response even outside of major dust storms was quite unexpected, and caused us to wonder what drove this response. He and his four co-authors found the answer in the water-ice clouds of Mars. The Martian atmosphere has water-ice clouds for most of the year. Clouds in the equatorial region between about 6 to 19 miles (10 to 30 kilometers) above the surface of Mars absorb infrared light emitted from the surface during daytime. These are relatively transparent clouds, like thin cirrus clouds on Earth. Still, the absorption by these clouds is enough to heat the middle atmosphere each day. The observed semi-diurnal temperature pattern, with its maximum temperature swings occurring away from the tropics, was also unexpected, but has been replicated in Mars climate models when the radiative effects of water-ice clouds are included. We think of Mars as a cold and dry world with little water, but there is actually more water vapor in the Martian atmosphere than in the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, Kleinboehl said. Water-ice clouds have been known to form in regions of cold temperatures, but the feedback of these clouds on the Mars temperature structure had not been appreciated. We know now that we will have to consider the cloud structure if we want to understand the Martian atmosphere. This is comparable to scientific studies concerning Earth's atmosphere, where we have to better understand clouds to estimate their influence on climate. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, provided the Mars Climate Sounder instrument and manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

[meteorite-list] My apology to Plagioklas
Dear All, Sunday, June 9, 2013 I wrote a very nasty, rude mail calling a German fellow meteorite collector ... well, I do not want to use that word once again! I sincerely regret that I used that word. Even if it had been true (which it is not!), I would not have had the right to abuse this fellow collector's reputation. I already apologized to him on our German Forum and I am glad he accepted my apology but I felt it was appropriate to also tell Meteorite Central that I used a word that I should not have used on a public forum. It is a word that hurts one's feelings - no matter if it is true or not! Thank you, Plagioklas, for accepting my apology! Thank you, Art, for your patience!

Re: [meteorite-list] My apology to Plagioklas
Hi Bernd all, Bernd, I quit reading that thread after about 20 or 30 posts As it seemed futile but I always read your posts. I was shocked to read what you wrote and reading your apology I realized how naïve I was to hold you in a position of sainthood and Reflected that your apology shows you are, indeed, a splendid gentleman, Even if you, like all of us, are not perfect. Always an inspiration, Bernd, Michael On 6/12/13 3:23 PM, Met.

Team Meteorite: Max-engineering. Clever and cutting-edge repair of navigation and propulsion failure by earthbound computer programming. Understandable science. Why we can be proud to be Americans.
