Hi all -
I just wrote a book on man and impact. It's called
Man and Impact in the Americas, and it's available
through amazon. I'm tired now, so I'll keep this
short.
The experts numbers for impact appear to be off by
about factor of ten, in the impactors' favor, not
man's. Over the last
I was discussing the probability of encountering a meteor with a
velocity greater than the Sun's escape velocity at the Earth. The
likelihood of that happening should be much lower than the likelihood of
simply encountering a stray object kicked out of the Oort Cloud. There
are only a few ways

Perhaps this explains to some degree the apparent lack

survive entry - of course, the other alternative is
that the experts in meteoritics have simply

Hello Mike, All,
Ground conditions can vary so greatly that I'd have to say that I have no
real idea.
Given the little research I've put in, I'd say that the ground in the
vicinity of the Campo fall might have better drainage, receive less annual
rainfall (cumulatively anyways), or simply be less
Hello and good day,
Well the obvious question. Did anyone see the fireball this morning, around
7:00am? From what the new stated, it basically went over Denver, CO. USA.
I just heard about it on KOA radio.
Does anyone have a path or any info?

Hi,
Nice timing, since we've been talking about
chunks of comet:
A final point to note are that Geminids stand apart from the other
meteor showers in that they seem to have been spawned not by a comet,
but by 3200 Phaeton, an Earth-crossing asteroid. Then again, the

Dear List;
After a very successful day of stromatolite hunting and the meteorite
bucket coming back empty, I arrived home to a phone message from the
local newspaper. We have a witness in the Rock Springs area. The paper
has conducted a phone interview and I have directed the paper to the

Hi All,
I'm tired of visiting the petrologic lab of our local university each time I
want to accurately weigh a new sample. Besides that, I would love to have a
small but precise portable scale that I could carry to the shows...

If your standard 1mg (.001 gram) scale is not accurate
enough for you then your best bet is probably moving

gram - I think I have that right but its ten times
more accurate than your standard mg
Hi,
Space is not empty, E.P. But as for sheer
drag, the solar system is nowhere near gassy
or dusty enough for drag to be a factor, even in
the very long term (as far as I know).
Dust and the solar wind is the chief occupant of
the empty vacuum here in the solar system, hence
