Begging a crust
NASA has a lot of moon rock, but is it enough?

There's an unassuming building at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas,
that is home to some exceedingly precious rubble: more than 300 kilograms of
lunar rock.
The grey fragments of Moon range from fine grains of

I have been offered a 19.5g ex-AML slice of La Lande.

I haven't a clue what would be a fair price for this -
Hello List,
Only a couple of hours left on a selection of cool NWA 869 (slices,
individuals) still at a lw price.
And also two nice Juvinas slices and one Bilanga with crust for sale on ebay.
Shipment worldwide is also possible. Add 4 euros to the shipment prices

Greetings all,
Quite a while back there was a discussion about macromount
display boxes. They are clear, measure 50mm X 50mm and stand
18mm high ( 2 X 2 X 5/8ths)- all outer measurements.
However, it is next to impossible to find them available WITH
internal white (or black, for

Hello List,
The basaltic meteorite NWA 011 was first available to the collecting
community as mg-sized shavings from Serge Afanasiev in Tucson 2003. At
that time I received a 1 mg specimen which is still displayed on my NWA
011 webpage (http://meteoritestudies.com/protected_NWA011.HTM). In

Thanks for the clarification, and if you really mean much, much...much

Hello Greg,
Maybe not a 1000 a gram, but definitely they are all pictures of much, much
more than a 1000 words, essay or not. Here's hoping your beauty never

Dear David, Doug and List,
NWA 011 was a mere 40 grams, then came NWA 2400 at 136 grams. After that
came NWA 2976 at 219 grams and last but not least, the largest one to date,
my 530 gram pairing. As each stone has been discovered (or brought to
market), the size seems to double each time so

Please check Marcin Cimala's web site: http://www.polandmet.com/_box.htm
Not exactly the same size, but he has a very good selection to choose from.

They also sell micro membrane boxes at $36.00/dozen.
Our price for one dozen is $24.00, with even better prices on quantity, We

Hi Ron,
Your boxes are TOPS! However, I do have some existing collections
with dozens and dozens already in these 2 X 2 macromounts and I am
not going to change horses mid stream - of course, I use yours for other
stuff and new collections. they are particularly desirable because you can
Hi,
The crash did not occur at 1041 PDT (0841 CDT, 0741 EDT).
The correction to clear the crater, according to this source:
http://technocrat.net/d/2006/9/2/7440
and three others in the last hour or two, has delayed the impact
until 01:43 AM SUN SEPT 3 EDT

Central eastern times are later than Pacific, not earlier! The Moon will
be in the middle of Sagittarius's teapot and at 22 degrees elevation in the
skies of St. Louis MO at 12:41 - 12:43 AM CDT. That'll be pretty due south
of you. And it looks like you've changed the time by 2
WHOops - it is only 3 degrees above the horizon in St. Louis. Sorry! But
it seems to be just a difference of 2 minutes and the time is as promised.
It will be 10 degrees high in Denver, and 12 degrees high in Houston, which
pretty much draws the diagonal across the States positive to the west,

At my location (roughly 40 N, 90 W, the Moon was due
south at 8 PM CDT. Currently (11:45 PM CDT), it's west
of SW and low. It will set here at 12:06 AM (09-03-06) CDT.
Impact will occur at 12:41-12:45 AM when the Moon is below
my horizon. (Not that it matters; I had cloud cover.)

Dear List Members,
I have been experimenting with a new digital camera I just got and made a
3-D video of the 530-gram pairing to NWA 011. Here is the link to an AVI

the AVI format:

Hi Darren and List,
Thanks Darren for the compliment. I have been at it all day and evening. I
had to make the gadgets and figure out a new camera, then experiment with
lighting, background colors, file size, etc. I have a 40mb file that flows
nicer than this 9mb and is in 640x480 mode so the
