Wow that's rather old news. Almost immediately after discovery, amateurs commented on MPML about the strange appearance of this object (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22836).
and within hours it was speculated that the object was the result of asteroid impact. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22842 That's one of the benefits of amateur observers who can observe what they want when they want. Note the date of the first Hubble image is two whole weeks after the amateurs already had the data. -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 --- On Wed, 10/13/10, StLM <[email protected]> wrote: > From: StLM <[email protected]> > Subject: [meteorite-list] Asteroid collision > To: "[email protected]" > <[email protected]> > Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2010, 12:29 PM > Very cool! > > http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/asteroid-collision-hubble-photographs-101013.html > ______________________________________________ > Visit the Archives at > http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html > Meteorite-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
