Kosmos* Manual for Those Who Love Nature, Vol. 12, 1926, pp. 401-404, excerpt:
We still have not the slightest clue about the provenance of meteorites. Qualitatively (that is, with regard to the substances they contain), they are similar to terrestrial substances, quantitatively (i.e. in regard to the respective amount present in meteorites), however, they are different from terrestrial substances. Comparing meteoric stones to terrestrial rocks, one would be inclined to group them with volcanic masses. That's why they were thought to be lunar, volcanic ejecta in former times, recent theories favor debris from a burst planet. * A German magazine of popular science, which still publishes scientific articles, astronomical almanacs, etc. Good night, it's bedtime here, Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
