Great video work - thank you.

I saw a show on one of the educational channels over a year ago which discussed
the bacteria living in poisonous Mono Lake. They nearly touched on this very
issue when discussing extremaphiles. Look at how small (~1 micron) the
bacteria
is. I remember this being one of the reasons for
Another big change to the Drake Equation!
Very exciting! Little boundries for life!

I wonder if this will increase the demand (and value) of all Martian Meteorites
since they believe possible life is within multiple Martian Meteorites. Be
interesting to see what happens.

A very complex question actually, but for this purpose we can use a simple
solution. If you are using digital, any lights can be used as long as they are
all of the same type and color temperature. You then adjust the white balance
in post processing.
I am using CFLs and they work great.

NASA-FUNDED RESEARCH DISCOVERS LIFE BUILT WITH TOXIC CHEMICAL
WASHINGTON --
If you want the easiest way to get daylight color, go to WalMart and get the
CFL bulbs marked daylight (with a Kelvin temperature of ~ 5500 or 6000, not
home right now to get the exact number!). You may have to look around but
every WalMart I've tired has them. Picked up a couple in Tucson
Some more observations on these 21st century fall stats -
There have been no pallasite or stony-iron falls during this period.
6 achondrites out of 56 falls total, that amounts to 9.3% ratio of
achondrites to other types.
1 iron out of 56 falls, or only 1.7% ratio of irons to other types.
Good point Greg but since the Mars Rovers haven't found any evidence of
life, it would be hugely coincidental for a meteorite from there to have any
fossils. If even one meteorite could ever prove to have fossils, regardless
where it originated, it would revolutionize this hobby / industry! I

I have to agree, I think sales hype will be the main factor to any increased
prices of Martian meteorites until 100% proof is offered...

I wouldn't call it hype when a major institution like the University of Toronto
announces it:

Interestingly enough NASA announces a discovery that helps change and
expand our understanding of what kind of life is possible in the
universe. This worldwide scientific news gets a few little blurbs on the
Met-List. ;)
For those who'd like to read more on this discovery:
NASA:
Just wanted to note that neither of the current MERs were designed to look for
signs of life (well, short of bumping into a house or some such grin.
In fact the last machines sent to Mars to look for signs of life were the
Viking landers back in the 70s.
Happily that is soon to change with

I'm pretty sure the raison d'etre behind the Mars Missions is to look for
life or signs of biological activity. I know they're looking for water, but
why? Could it be because 70 to 90% of a living organism is water? Water is
the prime ingredient and habitat for life. Something like 80% of all
Not only is there no evidence of life on the surface of Mars, there's also
no evidence in Martian meteorites:
