Kind of OT, but very cool looking...
Are we looking at the birth of a star? Is that dust? Gas? Both?
Any scientists out there have any opinions?

Interesting the fact that Norbert Classen underlines in his utmost readable
text that since prehistoric times, meteorites have been worshiped and
venerated by c o u n t l e s s tribes etc.
That could be the chance of Herr Meyer :-)

Hi All,
Just had to share thiswhen this post came up after all the talk of
eating meteorites I completely misread it and thought there was
actually a new Meteorite CATERING book!!gave me a good laugh
anyway.
So anyone got any recipes to go with the Tucson Auction Cake? Perhaps
we can put
Hi All,
While checking-out available video footage of meteor falls I notice there
appears to be a green colored glow emitting from the front of some
meteors. Is this due to air pollution or is there another possible cause
such as a chemical composition of particularly green glowing meteors
Well, the black stone.. it survived a fire, it was stolen and broken in
pieces and mounted together again...
Honestly, I don't have the mineralogic experience,
how a chondrite would like after being touched and kissed for millions of
times over the centuries :-)
Probably not so nice anymore, I

Technically there are space treaty's that are already in place, though not
everyone is signed up or ratified (as usual with treaty's!). So no nation has

Hi Mark,
but technically - and that's why we all shall let our fingers from them -
some argue and believe that the object meteorite in itself is a cultural

There is probably a more accurate way of saying it but, I would venture to
guess it's being emitted by the oxygen in the atmosphere as it is
heated/excited by the bow shock wave in front of the meteor as it pushes
through the atmosphere...

Wish I could help you with a link, but I did not think to save. A quick
google search of a meteorite video captured by high school football moms
over a Texas, I believe, Friday night football might suffice.
Not all the many offered football mom video shoots of this spectacular

There are 360 possible directions the camera could be facing
horizontally. Determining and East/West trajectory from one video is
impossible without knowing the direction the camera was facing.

Steve? What part of illegal do you not understand? Steve, it is a felony to
interfere with an auction house's auction even if you are the owner of the

Taking away the item you placed with them is defrauding them and deriving them
