[meteorite-list] NEW EXTRA-SOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEM, WEIRDER STILL

Hi, As we keep discovering extra-solar planets, it seems like they're in some sort of contest to be stranger and less-expected than the last strange world system discovered. Now it's two planets that orbit around each other -- no star, just two planets, all on their own, and not orbiting

Re: [meteorite-list] Cosmic Dust in Ice Cores Sheds Light on Earth's Past Climate

Hi Ron, all, Once again, what these team measured was 3He and cosmic dust - not comet dust. It's best to announce research results like this in August when Dr. Peiser is on vacation. That prevents detailed technical comment by the world's best qualified individuals. The Brown Ammendment still

Re: [meteorite-list] Cosmic Dust in Terrestrial Ice ENDING

Hi, Thanks to a defective mouse gone click-crazy, my post got sent before it was finished. It ended in mid-sentence: And, for Rob Matson, I just want to point out, an ice age is what happenes when you... and if I'd finished it, would have read: And, for Rob Matson, I just want to

Re: [meteorite-list] Cosmic Dust in Terrestrial Ice

Hi, This is one of those odd cases of knowledge being acquired and lost and re-acquired in generational cycles, even in the so-called exact sciences. The authors of this study say: The ratio of 4He in terrestrial dust to the dust concentration itself reveals a marked difference between the

Re: [meteorite-list] Cosmic Dust in Terrestrial Ice ENDING

Sterling: But you should also realize that DHMO in its frozen state (which occurs during ice ages) has a high albedo and hence reflects most of the incoming solar energy, again cooling things off. Larry Quoting Sterling K. Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, Thanks to a defective mouse gone

Re: [meteorite-list] Cosmic Dust in Terrestrial Ice MORE

Hi, Mike, Larry, Mike, Rob Matson posted a very funny website URL: http://www.dhmo.org/ outlining the consumer hazards of DHMO, which is DiHydrogen MonOxide, which many non-scientific persons call just plain WATER. The website is hilarious. Larry, there are many components to

Re: [meteorite-list] Cosmic Dust in Terrestrial Ice MORE

Hi Sterling: Some of my best friends (who are atmospheric scientists) do not believe in global warming. I agree that there are just too many factors involved and you can get almost any answer you want. While I personally believe that cutting CO2 emissions is not a bad idea, it should be
