Dear Gentlemen, List;
I experienced an issue with two sides similar to this about ten years
ago. Scientific rocks..ones to study, and pretty rocks...ones that
require appreciation despite scientific importance. In the real world
of total experience, one needs to ideally appreciate both.
You guys are so funny. Even though I totally love and appreciate your
knowledge, and insight, I really love these silly conversations. Life is
short, and well, just thanks for entertaining me as well as informing me.

Hi Pat-
You can't reliably determine anything about the path of an unwitnessed
meteor by analyzing a strewn field. That's because the effect of winds
can completely erase the effects of the trajectory. As a simple example,

It's a True Moon:
The regolith origin is also supported by the finding

Kalhari 008, at least, appears to contain solar-wind gases. The

There is nothing there to see, these are tiny pieces
of huge stones. Of course there is not much to see in
