[meteorite-list] Asteroids Could Trigger Nuclear War
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_2128000/2128488.stm Asteroids 'could trigger nuclear war' BBC News July 14, 2002 A small asteroid could accidentally trigger a nuclear war if mistaken for a missile strike, experts have warned. Scientists and military chiefs studying the threat are calling for a global warning centre to be set up to inform governments immediately of asteroid impacts. The risk is seen as particularly grave if an asteroid blast were to happen in areas of military tension, such as over nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan Each year about 30 asteroids several metres in length pierce the atmosphere and explode, with even the smaller sized ones unleashing as much energy as the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in Japan. 'Panic' reaction Earlier this month, an Israeli pilot flying an airliner over the Ukraine reported seeing a blue flash in the sky similar to the type of blast caused by a surface-to-air missile, despite Ukrainian authorities saying no such missile had been fired. Experts now believe the pilot saw an explosion caused by an asteroid entering the Earth's atmosphere at high speed. Experts met last week in the US capital Washington DC to discuss what might have happened had such an explosion occurred over a volatile area such as the India-Pakistan region. "Neither of those nations has the sophisticated sensors we do that can determine the difference between a natural Neo (near-Earth object) impact and a nuclear detonation," Air Force Brigadier General Simon Worden from the US Space Command told the Aerospace Daily newspaper. "The resulting panic in the nuclear-armed and hair-trigger militaries there could have been the spark for a nuclear war." Warning centre call The incident over Ukraine was also extremely politically sensitive. Last year, 78 people died when a Russian airliner flying from Israel was hit over Ukraine by what was believed to have been a stray missile fired during a military exercise. Although the US has its own sophisticated military satellites which can detect launches and detonations of weapons and asteroid explosions, General Worden said that he and other experts would like to see a new warning centre established which would gather information on asteroid explosions and make it available to all governments. It is hoped that the shared information would prevent a disaster occurring, and a study looking at the possibility of such a centre is now reportedly being developed in the US Defense Department. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] all nwa's classified
No, not all have been classified and may never be classified. I have a few complete masses myself that have numbers assigned but I did not bother to classify because they are obviously common types.

Re: [meteorite-list] HELP PLEASE
Hi Steve, I've had some dealings with Duane Penshorn. In those, he has been more than helpful and generous. I have helped him submit a number of specimens for analysis at UCLA and he has been quick to provide large samples to the lab, gratis. His newly recognized old find from California was published in the last Meteorite Bulletin - this is one of the several he submitted. I have been trying to get ahold of him for months too, but in my case I have been trying to give him the results of the analysis of his specimens and talk with him about the NomCom. When we did talk on the phone I learned that he was a medical student - so perhaps he is inundated with work? Let me know what you hear... Nick At 04:18 PM 7/10/02 -0700, you wrote: >Hi list.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Question
Rhett wrote: > I'm wondering if you have any other information on > the pyroxene and metal values of some of these. Hello Rhett and List, Clipperton may be one of those meteorites about which Pierre cautioned: "is there systematic bias? (possible for weathered finds, oxidation of olivine starts by turning Fe to rust there- fore decreasing Fa%" because it was collected from the ocean floor and is highly weathered. Grady (1937), H3.6 has 26.23 % total iron Moorabie, L3.8: 22.34 % - 22.68 % total iron, olivine Fa14 (5-20); pyroxene Fs3-29; Quinyambie, LL3.4: 19.0 % - 19.48 % total iron; olivine Fa22 (5-35); pyroxene Fs15-30; Willaroy, H3.5: 25.3 % total iron, olivine Fa15 (10-19); Xinyi, H5: 26.9 % total iron, olivine Fa15; QUE 94570: Fa10-13, Fs9-12 but caution (!) - it, too, was extremely weathered, when it was found. QUE 94570 was originally classified as a C4 chondrite, but see: KALLEMEYN G.W. et al. (1998) Prompt-Gamma Analysis (PGA) and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) studies of a new reduced L chondrite (Meteoritics 33-4, 1998, A081): "Our analyses show that QUE 94570 is not, in fact, a new member of the Coolidge-Loongana 001 grouplet, but is rather a new L chondrite similar to Moorabie and Suwahib Buwah."
