Hello All! Let's have a look at the respective velocities and orbital elements: Pribram (H5) Date: 1959, Apr 07, 19.30 U.T. (20.30 MEZ/21.30 MESZ) Entry velocity: 20.9 km/s Terminal velocity: ca. 7 km/s End point: 13.3 km Slope: 43� Initial mass: 21500 kg (O.R. Norton, CEM, p. 40) Terminal mass: 50 kg - only 5.6 kg found (O.R. Norton, CEM, p. 40) Semimajor axis a: 2.42 AU Eeccentricity e: 0.67 Perihelion distance q: 0.79 AU Inclination i: 10.4� Aphelion Q: ca. 4 AU (Hilda population) Length of luminous trajectory: ca. 124 km Bavarian bolide: Date: 2002, Apr 06, 20:20 U.T. (21.20 MEZ/22.20 MESZ) Entry velocity: 20.9 km/s Terminal velocity: ca. 4 km/s End point: 15.8 km Slope: 49.5� Initial mass: 500 kg (estimated!) Terminal mass: 30 kg (estimated!) Semimajor axis a: 2.4 AU Eeccentricity e: 0.67 Perihelion distance q: 0.79 AU Inclination i: 11.4� Aphelion Q: 4.05 AU (Hilda population) Length of luminous trajectory: ca. 92 km Maximum brightness: ca. -18 (Full moon = -12 mags!) A truly striking resemblance !!! Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
