RE: [meteorite-list] Listening to Meteors...
Hi Marcia! I am told that you at least can hear meteor pings, on pretty much any radio, but there are some things to bear in mind. 1. The Antenna, needs to be 'good' since you are receiving a relatively weak signal that is reflected from the meteor, (I.E the better your antenna the more pings you will detect) Having said that people have heard meteor pings on Car radio's tuned to Short/long wave stations! It's even better if you have an antenna, that is 'pointed' at the radio station... 2. It is vital that the station you are listening for is just over your horizon, since the signal has to bounce from the meteor, and be reflected down at the correct angle hence the reason it is below the horizon. 3. You need to tune into a 'continuous tone' something like a TV station 'carrier signal' which will sound like a 'whine' or a fax/beacon or anything that transmits a continuous sound,. If you just tune into a normal music station you won't hear the 'ping' because the music is changing tone all the time. 4. [You really want to tune into a station that is very faint], because the signal gets reflected from the meteor and gets much louder quickly (hence the ping!) its pointless tuning in to a loud station since the meteor won't make the signal any louder! There is a whole heap of space bourne radio signals, you can for example with a suitable antenna hear the radio emissions from Jupiter, (they sound like a crackle/waves). - Sorry everyone for the long post but there seems to have been quite a bit of interest in this!

[meteorite-list] Fwd: Meteorite particles
Note: forwarded message attached. ---BeginMessage--- Mr. Farmer; I'm not sure if you are the right person to contact but I am quite ignorant to this subject. About two weeks ago a large meteor entered the sky over the Grays Harbor County area in Washington State. I witnessed the fireball shoot across the sky while at a residence on a call. About an hour after I cleared the call I was notified by a County Deputy that three young men had flagged him down on the road stating that they had witnessed a small shower of debris fall from the sky shortly after the meteor had passed over head. The meteor continued north. The fragments landed on the football field of the Elma High School. The Deputy and myself checked the area with the boys and found a sandy area near the field covered in small crater like holes. Near or in each hole was a small black glassy like material that was hot to touch. Some pieces had struck a set of aluminum bleachers and made small dents. Other pieces hit the asphalt walkway and melted. The whole area of impact was about 100' x100' wide. I was able to collect some samples of the debris. I attempted to keep the site protected by not telling anyone so that people like yourself would have a shot at it before a wave of morons destroyed the area. After I hade gone home to get some sleep I was notified by a fellow Officer that some idiot had alerted the press. By the next day every yahoo in the county had trampled the scene. Two men (don't remember their names) arrived to investigate the scene. They claimed that the material they were shown was not meteor material and that they doubted that any thing even fell there. I wished that I had been there to ask where in the heck they got that idea. The pieces that I have at home look just like the fragments that you have on the front page of your site. After looking at some of the pictures it is possible that the material found could be only the burnt shell that forms around the meteor itself. If you have any questions or would like to view the samples please let me know. My E-Mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Thank You, Travis E. Bealert ---End Message---

[meteorite-list] Mass Extinction from Buried Carbon?
http://dsc.discovery.com/news/afp/20030721/carbon.html Mass Extinction from Buried Carbon? AFP/ABC Science Online July 23, 2003 A vast reservoir of carbon is stashed beneath the Earth's crust and could be released by a major volcanic eruption, unleashing a mass extinction of the kind that last occurred 200 million years ago, German geologists report. Researchers know that carbon is stored in the mantle, a layer of plastic-like rock beneath Earth's fragile crust, said Hans Keppler of the Institute of Sciences at Germany's University of Tuebingen, whose report appears in today's issue of Nature. Exactly how much is down there is unknown. Most estimates, drawn from analyses of gases emerging from the mantle, suggest the store is many times more than all the carbon in the Earth's atmosphere, soil and sea combined. The concern is that if just a part of this gigantic reservoir is quickly released as carbon dioxide, or CO2, that could create a runaway greenhouse effect. The CO2-soaked atmosphere would store up heat from the sun, shrivelling plant life and destroying species along the food chain. The [mantle] reservoir is just gigantic compared with anything that we have on the Earth's surface, said Keppler. So he and his colleagues conducted an ambitious experiment aimed at finding whether mantle rock is a stable storage for CO2. Most of the rock in the Earth's upper mantle is a crystalline silicate called olivine. In a lab chamber, Keppler's team replicated the fiery heat and intense pressures, of 1,200° Celsius and 3.5 gigapascals, which are likely to exist in the deeper parts of the upper mantle. They used these conditions to create olivine crystals from raw ingredients of magnesium oxide and silicon dioxide, and exposed them to carbon and water. The carbon turned out to be almost completely insoluble in olivine: just a tiny amount, between 0.1 and 1.0 parts per million by weight, was absorbed into the rock. So if the carbon is not in the olivine, that leaves only one major source, Keppler said: If you cannot store the carbon in the olivine, then the only plausible place for storing it are carbonates. Carbonate rocks have a much lower melting point than olivine, which is able to absorb the punishing furnace-like heat radiating from the Earth's core and still not melt. Heated to a molten state, carbonates are capable of squeezing through cracks in the olivine, rising up towards the surface and absorbing the free carbon as they go. They can pick up so much that as much as 10 or 20 percent of their mass is carbon. The risk, said Keppler, is that this carbonate reservoir could suddenly be breached in the event of a major volcanic eruption. Once the carbonate comes up to the surface, as soon as it is below [a pressure of] 20 or 30 kilobars, which corresponds to a depth of 40 or 60 kilometers in the mantle, he said. As soon as it comes up beyond this depth, it will decompose and release carbon dioxide. The nightmare scenario? Gigantic geysers of carbon dioxide, imperilling life on the surface. There has been some evidence that something like this has happened in the past. There is a very good correlation with [CO2] flooding that coincides with several mass extinction events - some massive, sudden change of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, Keppler said. One of these events occurred around 245 million years ago, at the end of the Permian era, which saw the largest extinction event in Earth's history: fossil evidence shows as many as 96 percent of all marine species were lost and more than three quarters of vertebrate, or backboned, species on land. The other, possibly a cluster of smaller events, was at the end of the Triassic period around 208 million years ago, when around half of the world's species suddenly died out. That event essentially handed rule of the planet to the dinosaurs, which began a long decline thereafter. They were ultimately consigned to history 65 million years ago by the cataclysmic impact of a 10-kilometer asteroid, which struck what is now the Gulf of Mexico. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Melrose Meteorite
Melrose also has a very large amount of copper compaired to other meteorites, and copper is also a bi-product in gold mining. In fact, Nininger pointed out that the very visible copper found in Melrose in the form of large grains should be compared to so called Eaton meteorite which was copper entirely. Steve Sconer/ams --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, I was reading the post from Peter Marmet about the AMM list of meteorites and couldn't help notice the Melrose meteorite, # 4 on the list. The only American meteorite to contain gold. This meteorite has twice as much gold as what is considered to be mineable amounts ! ( ~.35 grams per ton for Melrose, ~.07g's per ton in ore is mineable).This is something of a surprise to me, as I was informed not long ago by a world reknowned representative of the meteorite community,(he's also a man of the cloth, hint) that there are not any meteorites with gold in them except in some irons, and they have only trace amounts. Here's the question(s) ; Melrose is a chondrite...Does the oxygen isotope match the fractionation line of the other chondrites? Is it on a line all its own? Or is it on the terestrial line with the Moon, Earth, and the aubrites? (Aubrites, an entirely different subject, no less interesting... how are they on the same O2 fractionation line as Earth and the Moon?) Have any similar meteorites been found since then, anywhere? Am I to assume this is the one single example of a particular asteroid? These observations, and the answers to these questions point to the obvious fact that we still have a very limited representation of the solar system in our meteorite collections, and that this science really is still in its infancy...many more discoveries are waiting in the lab, and in the field. I think that is part of the mystique that draws me to meteorites. In a world where it seems as if everything has been invented, documented, or discovered, the science of meteorites is ripe with opportunities! I think the Melrose meteorite proves that.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fwd: Meteorite particles
Hi Mike and List Members, I see you got a letter from officer BeAlert. This whole thing is turning out to be kind of weird. The three teenagers said they saw dust being kicked up from the shot-put pit right after witnessing the fireball. I have no doubt about the fireball because it was witnessed by several people. There are photographs of the so-called impact craters with the black glass in them. There is also a photograph of the telephone pole that officer Bealert removed a piece of this glassy material from. Both photographs were taken by the Daily World the following morning before the scene was disturbed. I do not believe that the glassy material from Elma is meteoritic but it is weird. We submitted samples to the University of Washington which will be probed Friday under a SEM. We are leaving town for three days so I will not be able to report their findings until Monday. We are only analyzing this stuff to satisfy the people of Elma and others who may be curious. As for the Iron, it was found about seven miles from Elma while we were searching for fossils and investigating the sighting. It is weathered and cannot be connected in any way to the meteor sighting. I ground an edge and etched it. It has two phases of metal and an odd pattern like that of the Carver iron. It is not slag, is irregularly shaped and has what looks like thumb-printing. We will know for sure by Monday if this is the real McCoy, our fingers are crossed.

[meteorite-list] The AMS Radio Meteor Project
http://www.amsmeteors.org/radmet.html The AMS Radiometeor Project For nearly forty years the American Meteor Society (AMS) has encouraged its amateur members to experiment with the establishment of forward scatter receiver systems. First successes in this area were had by the Kansas Meteor Group, an AMS affiliate, in 1958. This group, led by Walter Scott Houston, established an automatic electronic system for counting meteor echoes from a professionally operated transmitter located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Featured in the July, 1958, Scientific American, this system remained in operation until the early 1960's. During the mid-1970's, the advent of the personal computer made it possible for amateurs to establish forward-scatter data collection systems of an even higher level of sophistication. In order to germinate this potential within the amateur community, the AMS Radio Scatter Program was created by Dr. David Meisel in 1977. The purpose of this program was to establish a network of amateur operated forward-scatter receiving stations across a wide geographic area, each station automatically collecting data on the incoming meteor flux on a continuous 24-hr day basis. The data collected from these stations would then be used in the research conducted by AMS affiliated professional astronomers. During the decade of the 1980's, this program carried out experiments involving the establishment of meteor radio scatter receiving stations by groups of amateur astronomers, as well as preliminary work in using microcomputers for data collection. Notable successes included the work of William Black (1983) of Florida; Michael Owen (1986) of New York; and Meteor Group Hawaii http://www.amsmeteors.org/mghawaii/ , led by Michael Morrow and George Pokarney (1987). The most promising results were the experiments performed by Kenneth Pilon (1984), a Canadian amateur, who successfully demonstrated that a TRS-80 personal computer could be used to detect and make graphic printouts of meteor events. Building upon the lessons learned from these previous attempts, the first full-time prototype station for the AMS became operational in March, 1993, utilizing an economical Apple IIe platform for data collection. This station was located in the rural countryside of northwest Florida (Poplar Springs) , and utilizes distant Television Channel 2 transmitters as its signal source. In late 1993, the AMS Radio Scatter Program was reorganized, and became the AMS Radiometeor Project. For several years, efforts were focused upon expanding the network, as well as increasing the reliability and sophistication of each individual station. Three stations were eventually established, located in California, Florida, and Virginia. Professional analysis of the collected data yielded several conference talks and an extensive paper in the European journal Planetary and Space science. By 1998, the data collection computers were significantly obselete to make further operation impractible, and the network of active stations was discontinued at that time. Although the AMS does not currently have an active network of radiometeor stations, the society continues to support amateur efforts in this fascinating aspect of meteor science.

Here also is a list of annual meteor showers.. http://comets.amsmeteors.org/meteors/calendar.html Have Fun! - Its yet another interesting aspect to our hobby. Mark ---End Message---

Hi Walter, Bob, Norbert and List, Gotta get this off my chest before heading for the bunk: The German term would be Scheinmeteorit - alles klar ;-?

Where have I heard these words before ? :-)) Enjoying my first day of summer our vacations here ! Off to bed before it's too led ... sorry late ... Bernd P.S.: After visiting Germany, Mark Twain once wrote in 1879 about The Awful German Language: These things are not words, they are alphabetical processions. And they are not rare; one can open a German newspaper any time and see them marching majestically across the page - and if he has any imagination he can see the banners and hear the music, too. They impart a martial thrill to the meekest subject. Whenever I come across a good one, I stuff it and put it in my museum. In this way I have made quite a valuable collection.
