Gregory-   Well, I am not sure as something might have gotten lost in the translation but I think he is telling me that a giant asteroid has hit the HST (humm, maybe that's why NASA wants to scrape it), causing parts of the telescope to crash to earth and the "asteroid" itself is part martain/lunar/pallasite/eucrite/tektite which was found in the Alan Hills region.   Yea, that's it. (MIR has already de-orbited, right?)   Obviously a polymict breccia...   with xenolithlic clasts...   (badda bing).   -Walter (working on a website is the most boring activity in the world) ------------------------------------------ www.branchmeteorites.com ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2004 10:40 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Stange Meteorite (or not) email  [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Many big Satellite fragment and parts.
