Hi, I completely agree. After spending many years in the field I have started calling them False Witnesses because they are NEVER reliable. If they swear it fell in the lake, surely it is NO WHERE near it. On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 10:08 AM, JoshuaTreeMuseum joshuatreemus...@embarqmail.com

[meteorite-list] Can sungrazing comets trigger CMEs?

2011-05-18 Thread Matson, Robert D.
Hi Steve, There is some evidence supporting the theory of sungrazing comets occasionally triggering CMEs. There have been at least a dozen of these coincidences in the past decade that I've been comet hunting, which at first glance may not seem like a lot (given that there have been over 2000
