[meteorite-list] Florida Boy Allegedly Hit By Meteorite - Any new News?
Hello Kelly and Listers Kelly Read what you had said about the boy getting hit in the head by a meteorite and I was wondering, has there been any more test done on the so called pebbles to put this story to rest that someone is telling a big lie. I have heard of boy who cried wolf, but wouldn't have thought of boy who cried the sky is falling. Any whos, if you have any new info or if anyone else does be great.

More importantly, I want to be the first to name this type of fall. It is to be called a hammerhead fall!

[meteorite-list] The Jezersko meteorite - a new Slovenian meteorite
Dear list members, I've just found some information about the Jezersko meteorite. Is this really a new Slovenian meteorite? Does anyone have additional information? http://bojanambrozic.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/meteorit-jezersko-nov-slovenski-meteorit/ English translation: http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=desl=sltl=enu=http%3A%2F%2Fbojanambrozic.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F12%2F02%2Fmeteorit-jezersko-nov-slovenski-meteorit%2F Best regards Martin __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] NASA Investigating the Life of Comet ISON
http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/nasa-investigating-the-life-of-comet-ison/ NASA Investigating the Life of Comet ISON Karen C. Fox NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. December 2, 2013 After several days of continued observations, scientists continue to work to determine and to understand the fate of Comet ISON: There's no doubt that the comet shrank in size considerably as it rounded the sun and there's no doubt that something made it out on the other side to shoot back into space. The question remains as to whether the bright spot seen moving away from the sun was simply debris, or whether a small nucleus of the original ball of ice was still there. Regardless, it is likely that it is now only dust. Comet ISON, which began its journey from the Oort Cloud some 3 million years ago, made its closest approach to the sun on Nov. 28, 2013. The comet was visible in instruments on NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO, and the joint European Space Agency/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, via images called coronagraphs. Coronagraphs block out the sun and a considerable distance around it, in order to better observe the dim structures in the sun's atmosphere, the corona. As such, there was a period of several hours when the comet was obscured in these images, blocked from view along with the sun. During this period of time, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory could not see the comet, leading many scientists to surmise that the comet had disintegrated completely. However, something did reappear in SOHO and STEREO coronagraphs some time later - though it was significantly less bright. [Video] Comet ISON is shown approaching the sun and curving away from it in this movie containing imagery from both NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory and the joint ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory from November 2013. ISON dims dramatically as it streams away from the sun. Image Credit: ESA/NASA/SOHO/STEREO/GSFC Whether that spot of light was merely a cloud of dust that once was a comet, or if it still had a nucleus - a small ball of its original, icy material - intact, is still unclear. It seems likely that as of Dec. 1, there was no nucleus left. By monitoring its changes in brightness over time, scientists can estimate whether there's a nucleus or not, but our best chance at knowing for sure will be if the Hubble Space Telescope makes observations later in December 2013. Regardless of its fate, Comet ISON did not disappoint researchers. Over the last year, observatories around the world and in space gathered one of the largest sets of comet observations of all time, which should provide fodder for study for years to come. The number of space-based, ground-based, and amateur observations were unprecedented, with twelve NASA space-based assets observing over the past year.

Re: [meteorite-list] The Jezersko meteorite - a new Slovenian meteorite
Hi Martin and List, The specimen shown is undeniably a meteorite. It looks like a weathered H chondrite, possibly an H4 or H5. It looks like a new Slovenian meteorite, if they put it through the classification and approval process to have it published. The only question would be, was the meteorite transported or is it a legitimate find? Given the apparent circumstances, it sounds like a legit find. Thanks for finding and sharing this Martin. :) Best regards, MikeG -- - Web - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/galacticstone - On 12/2/13, karmaka-meteori...@email.de karmaka-meteori...@email.de wrote: Dear list members, I've just found some information about the Jezersko meteorite.
