Re: [meteorite-list] Juancheng Stone Meteorite Images
http://www.spacerocksinc.com/JuanchengGallery.html A lot of oohs and aahs from Germany! Beautiful, delightful, something to drool over, ... no, please, don't do that ;-) Juancheng is one of my favorites. There are four specimens in my collection and two of them (from Michael Cottingham) are flight- oriented and show a pronounced lipping. Most Juanchengs are very sculptural. Thank you for sharing with us!

[meteorite-list] Deep Impact Closes In On Comet
http://rockymountainnews.com/drmn/state/article/0,1299,DRMN_21_3734569,00.html Boulder spacecraft closes in on comet By Jim Erickson Rocky Mountain News (Colorado) April 28, 2005 NASA's Boulder-built Deep Impact spacecraft has spied its target, Comet Tempel 1, and is streaking toward a July 4 collision with the errant iceball. The spacecraft captured its first image of Tempel 1 on Monday, and the space agency released it Wednesday. The black-and-white picture was shot with the Deep Impact's medium-resolution camera, from a distance of 39.7 million miles. Meanwhile, engineers continue to troubleshoot a focusing problem with Deep Impact's main camera/telescope - the High Resolution Instrument. The $330 million Deep Impact is expected to blast an Invesco Field- size crater in the side of Tempel 1 in a mission to probe the origins of the solar system. Scientists had hoped the High Resolution Instrument would reveal crater details as small as 3 feet across, said H. Jay Melosh, a University of Arizona planetary scientist. But because of the focusing problem, it now appears its sharpest pictures will have a resolution of about 6 feet, said Melosh, a member of the Deep Impact science team. I would say it's a major concern. We're all very disappointed at the performance of this imaging system, he said Wednesday. Deep Impact was built by Ball Aerospace Technologies of Boulder. A Ball spokesman said Wednesday that NASA asked the company not to discuss Deep Impact's blurry vision with reporters. After the Jan. 12 Deep Impact launch, engineers noticed moisture trapped inside the High Resolution Instrument, which is a telescope fitted with a digital camera. The moisture likely entered the instrument while it sat on the Florida launch pad or during the spacecraft's ascent through Earth's atmos-phere, the space agency said last month. Engineers initially blamed the focusing problem on three supports that cradle the telescope's 12-inch- diameter main mirror, Melosh said. They suspected the supports absorbed some of the moisture and expanded, moving the telescope's focal point 1.9 millimeters. A millimeter is about the thickness of a paper-clip wire. To correct the problem, heaters were used to bake moisture out of the telescope. But baking didn't improve the focus. The current plan: Use image-processing software to sharpen comet images sent back by the High Resolution Instrument. A similar procedure was used to fix the Hubble Space Telescope's blurry vision until that observatory was fitted with corrective optics. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] 356 kg Meteorite Misplaced in Australia
http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,15119319%255E2862,00.html Easy comet, easy go Milanda Rout Herald Sun (Australia) April 29, 2005 HOW do you lose a billion-year-old, 356kg space rock? That is the question being put to the State Government, which has misplaced a meteorite given to it for safe keeping. The rock is one of 12 meteorites recovered from the Casey and Cardinia shires, southeast of Melbourne, between 1854 and the early 1930s. It was given to the Department of Primary Industries, then known as the Victorian Mines Department, in the 1920s but has since disappeared. The huge rock may be gathering dust somewhere but the department cannot find any record of it since it moved storage centres in 1997. Yes, it is (lost), Victorian Geoscience director Kathy Hill admitted. But we think it has been lost for a bit longer than we know about. Ms Hill said there was no record of the rock in the new storage area, and no current employee knew of its location. She blamed government and staff changes over time. Ms Hill said the department would talk to former employees to try to find the elusive meteorite. City of Casey Mayor Neil Lucas said it was amazing a 356kg space rock could be lost. I think the community assumes they have professional ways to keep monitoring collections. Mr Lucas said he wanted the Government to search high and low. I think they need to keep looking. After all, it was given to them for safe keeping, he said. Cranbourne has a display of plastic meteorites in a park off the South Gippsland Highway. The only real meteorite the area has is a 23kg rock at the Casey council offices in Narre Warren. A 1525kg space rock from the Cranbourne collection is on display at Melbourne Museum. The largest meteorite found in the area, at 3500kg, is in a London museum. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Boom Startles Florida Residents
http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=14431996BRD=2256PAG=461dept_id=455823rfi=6 Boom startles Islanders By Carol Glassman Marco Island Sun Times (Florida) April 28, 2005 Some Marco residents were startled awake by a loud deep, reverberating rumble instead of the annoying buzz of an alarm clock early Monday morning. Police Chief Roger Reinke said, We heard it plainly here at the station. I checked to see if there was a crash at one of the intersections, and the phone calls came in shortly thereafter. Since we had no reports of damage, I did not think it necessary to invest any resources in determining the cause. A few people came up with the military jets over the gulf (sonic boom) theory. That seems to make the most sense. There has been no further information about the event. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] looks like a big NO to me
The picture is too small to be really sure, but it sure looks like a piece-o-crap to me. http://www.theunionleader.com/articles_showa.html?article=54008 Rock discovered in city may be meteorite By RILEY YATES and CAROL ROBIDOUX Union Leader Staff MANCHESTER - Whats grayish black, about the size of a baseball and falls from the sky when nobody's watching? Denise Lavoie isn't sure, either, but she's looking for someone who can confirm her theory that the craggy rock that landed next to her mother-in-law's rose bush the other day was a remnant from the recent Lyrid meteor shower that has had star-gazers from across the country and around the world calling 911. As soon as I saw it there I knew what it was, Lavoie said yesterday of the rock she's been keeping close tabs on since it landed about five feet from her in-laws house at 586 Cilley Road. Her mother-in-law, Donna Boucher, said the rock, discovered Wednesday, wasn't there over the weekend because that's when she planted the rosebush. At first Boucher thought the one-pound UFO might be a lump of coal or maybe something that was thrown there by a neighbor. She said it reminds her of rocks she would see in Reno, where she lived for 27 years. I'm just looking for validation of what it is, said Boucher. Eberhard Moebius, a professor of physics at the University of New Hampshire, said there are two kinds of meteors: ones that are stony and ones that are made of iron, nickel and other metals. That a meteorite would bear some resemblance to lava is not surprising, he said. If a meteorite really falls down and lands, it has gone through the Earth's atmosphere. And it burns during that. Moebius said Boucher and Lavoie would do best to show their specimen to scientists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. They would be able to say whether it was a meteorite. Certainly that is possible and that has happened, Moebius said. But to say that positively, one would have to see it. So far, everyone who's seen the rock believes it to be otherworldly, Lavoie said. I took it to work and everyone was saying we could probably get money for it, Lavoie said. My brother-in-law is going to make a nice box for it and we're going to put the date on it, and where it was found. Until then, I'm keeping it close to me. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
