Hello all. Busy days here in Tucson. Patrick and I have been here since the 22nd of January and are having a blast. The weather is warming now and they are saying that it will be really warm by Sunday.
We have confirmed our Tucson party in the courtyard at the old Pueblo Inn for Wednesday night
Dear Sabrina,
I do not know Walter personnally but I'm used to read his posts on the list and
want to wish him and your daughter a prompt recovery
from this terrible accident. As many on this list, I also wish you a lot of
courage to go through this very difficult period of
time.
We are all

Hmmm. No offense to the honorable M. Blood
or his noteworthy specimen but does that hole
look to you as if it received some acetylene assistance?
I apologize if I am out of line, but the texture around
the hole (and it's depth) looks odd to me.
Yet the overall coloring looks natural and not

Does anyone know more about the 'anti-meteorite
system' that protects the ISS from being
struck? 'Shields Up Scotty!'
I believe it's as simple as a couple of layers of
baking foil mounted over the main body of the station.
The foil and impactor are vaporised by the impact and

Hi list,
I was wondering, have any of you been approached with any really
absurd meteowrongs? It could be fun to collect some here.

Along the lines of the discussion on whether or not Widmanstatten patterns
appear in non-
meteoric materials I have put up some pictures of a meteorwrong with definite
crystalized
interior patterns. Anyone have any cogent comments on this? I'm quite
interested...
I have a comment. There is no Widmanstatten pattern in meteorwrongs.
End of discussion.
So, lets not start another BS tread that will be harder to endure than a
stick in the eye.
Thanks

I've been hunting meteorites with supermagnets for a little over four
years now. As I am sure everyone knows, when you drag a magnet you
pick up all sorts of stuff including a lot of magnetite, at least
here where I hunt you do. If you're interested in this type of
hunting, here is how I

high velocity impacts from debris? Why does it vaporize and not continue
through?
The gel in the Stardust collector showed particles penetrating several
millimeters into the material.

Never mind, practicle application works sooo theory is well supported.

Hi,
This speculation that 2003 EL61 could become an
inner system Giant Comet is a very, very strange one.
I find it extremely puzzling. But, if 2003 EL61 did, it
would just be the capper on this strangest of all strange
worlds in the solar system! I posted some information
about EL61 last
The Sun's light would be scattered, diffused and dispersed.
The skies would be brighter at night and dimmer in the daytime.
AH HA!! Finally a solution to global warming.

Hi,
Just to clear up a few things: EL61 is a big rock
with a thin layer of snow. But it's so big and there's
so much snow on a surface that size, that it amounts
to all those Hale/Bopps. Some of my arithmetic last
night was wrong (note to self: put on glasses, use

Hi, Rob, Darren, List,
One gram traveling at 1000 m/sec, when stopped
abruptly, releases its kinetic energy, which is 1000
joules [kg x (m/s)^2]. The combustion energy of
TNT is 4600 joules per gram, so that energy release
is the equivalent is 217 milligrams of TNT. Doesn't
sound like that
Fascinating reading.
I can't help but feel that the use of the word comet
is typical of scientists attempts to engage the
layman.
In this case, I accept the term 'becoming a comet' in
a context of trying to engage the common plebian [we
