Re: [meteorite-list] A New Question

Dear Doug, Good heavens you are a bright beacon of reasonable, rational observation of a situation that exists and makes good sense. I suspect that some years in the future when $$$ start to be in short supply you will see the host countries sell some of the most mundane meteorites to the

Re: [meteorite-list] A New Question

Besides... I have some ideas (sorry, happens from time to time): Could it be also a reason for Antarctic meteorites never can't be traded, that according the Antarctic treaties, none of the governments involved in Antarctic hunts can't get ownership in these meteorites? Second idea is,

[meteorite-list] Antarctic meteorites

Hi Doug, all - It is NOT about the meteorites and it NEVER was. That's pretty much it. Years ago everyone decided that they really didn't want to fight over the Antarctic's resources, and the meteorite rules are just an extension to that. Which leaves those with really rare specimens in a

[meteorite-list] Super Nova

I need some clarification and information from some of the brighter of you here on the list. I just read an article about the newest super nova in our galaxy... and the article says its about 140 years old. Fine.. Im good with that.. The article then says that it is located near the

Re: [meteorite-list] Super Nova

Richard: What they discovered were the remains of a supernova whose supernova light reached us about 140 years ago. The 140 year calculation was based on the area of expansion of the material around the remnant. On average, we should experience about 3 supernovae per century,

Re: [meteorite-list] Super Nova

Hi All: Thank you wikipedia. Below is a link to a list of supernova remnants. There are several younger supernovas, including the one seen by Tycho in 1572 (exploded 7500 years earlier than that). The 1054 supernova (crab nebula) was a little closer and the one in 185 was even closer (too young

Re: [meteorite-list] Antarctic meteorites

Greetings E.P., and List, While we're on this topic, a related question I've tried to answer myself, but have come up short with what I've read: It is well documented that for many years the Eskimo/Inuit people were clever enough to make many tools from the metal chipped off the Cape York

[meteorite-list] Major eBay Changes to Feedback

G'day all, It seems eBay Australia has been the test dummy for eBay's new feedback changes. From what I can tell, most eBay sites around the world will follow suit in the next week or so. I can't work out exactly how it works but my eBay feedback went from 125 to 339 overnight.

Re: [meteorite-list] Major eBay Changes to Feedback

The reason your feedback score went up so much is because other users can leave you one feedback a week and it will count in your score. Right now somebody can leave you 1 feedback a week over a year and it only counts once. After the changes this would increase your score by 52 after a year.

[meteorite-list] Fw: Super Nova

See if this helps. The leading edge of this 33000 year old event was detected 140 years ago so the event occured 32860 ago (from the first time it was seen). Today (after 140 years have passed since the first detection of the event), the event is now 33000 years ago. Does this help you

Hi everyone, I am still on the road, after a week of meteorite hunting I have had a tough time, first with food poisoning, then a severe back injury (spent hours today in emergency room). Needless to say, my meteorite hunting has been slowed down and my finds on this trip, were all on the first
