Hi,
A morning meteor (7:30 a.m.) is likely to have a very high entry speed and hence
be a good
candidate for an airburst regardless of size.
If you think of the Earth as a car driving its orbit like a NASCAR racer, the dawn
terminator
is the nose of the car, the noon point is the

A number of lessons that Nininger learned in the beginning of

Hi Matt
Great Photo. It brings back childhood memories, as I
attended this church as a youth. At that time and
before it was moved, it was a Evangelical United
Breathern Church.When The Methodist and EUB churches
merged, this church was sold to the Catholic Church. I
also spent the first six years
Hi AL, Marco and List,
Thanks for the video link, AL.
The shown video clip lasted 33 seconds, on a reproduction velocity of 1.0
It was interesting to notice that, quite close to the 4th second of the
video clip, there is a brief, sudden bright outburst (?) followed by a
return to its initial

Hello List, for about the last week I have been seeing a more meteors than
normal. They seem to be coming from the south and are quite big, I would not
consider them fireballs but I did see one break up last night. They seem to
be all the same color, kind of a yellow color. Is there anything going

Here is the information about NWA 1839 on Nelson's site.
http://www.meteorites-r-us.com/subcategory.cfm?subcat_id=773
The questions still remains, I wonder how the NWA 3133 data compares to it?
I wonder what the O-isotope readings would be NWA 1839?

Hello everyone,
Since the List is very quiet tonight..
I was chatting with an ex-List member earlier today about the newest Colorado
meteorite, probably an eucrite. And I noticed that the meteorite that fell
(was found) closest to where I am from is also an eucrite:
Yep, mine is Cat Mountain, barely 5 miles from my house.
Fall-wise, it is Holbrook arizona, over 4 hours away by car.

or meet in the evening to discuss meteorites, please email me off list. I
can bring a few duplicate specimens in my collection if you are
Hello List,
My closest meteorite fall would be Bloomington, IL about 1 hour from my
house. Impossible to obtain any however, Park Forest was 2 hours and

Hello, List,
the closest find from my place is the Cranbourne Iron IIICD, TKW 8,600
kg (approx.), found in 1854. That's about 20 Min. down the road.
The next, a Fall, 28th Sept. 1969 (1058HRS), is the famous Murchison
CM2. And that's just about 1hr away.I have been there quite a few times,
but

Well, I thought it was the Tanque Verde Wash meteorite from Norton's Rocks
From Space, but it's not listed in Meteorites From A to Z or Catalog of
Meteorites (not submitted to NomCom?).
So the closest would probably Udall Park (an H4), though Greaterville is
close also (an L4).

Do you know which meteorite came closest to your backyard?
Probably Allen, Texas (H4) seeing that I live in the town right next to Allen.
Another candidate could be McKinney, Texas (L4), which is about 10 miles away. I
have specimens of each.
But because McKinney was found prior to my town
Dear Anne, List;
Well I think that the meteorite that has been found closest to my
backyard is the Rock Springs, that same name is the town that I live in!
How many people live in the same town that has a meteorite named after it?
