[meteorite-list] KRASNOJARK PALLASITE
Dear list, I was thinking about this important meteorite ( which gave the name to the Pallasite clan after Pallas claimed it had a cosmic origin, in 1772 if my memory is exact. The mass itself having been dicovered in 1749 in Russia ) . It has a TKW of 700 kg according Catalogue of Meteorites and about 525 kg are in Museum collections, including 515 kg in Acad Sci Moscow. ( still ?) I was wandering if much of it is in privates hands as 175 kg are missing ! Any info about it is welcome. Best regards.

[meteorite-list] My own Franconia find!!!
Hello List, I got a call from a restless Mike Miller (www.meteoritefinder.com ) yesterday morning. He asked me if I wanted to hunt Franconia with him, I saw little need because if I did not have bad luck, I would not have any luck at all, but I went and as luck would have it, Mike's luck rubbed off on me, probably while crossing the washes on the road in, it was a little bumpy. : ) After a few hours searching the well hunted strewn field, I spotted something, the metal detector went off, my magnet liked it, it was the most beautiful stone, I had ever seen, great crust, My first Franconia find, a dandy! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/peregrineflier/franhotrock.jpg But no, it was just one of the many hot rocks disguised as a meteorite like this one. Well after a couple more hours, I spotted something else, it did not look like a meteorite, but it passed the same tests the hot rocks did, but looked to out of place among all the meteorite looking hot rocks, to be anything else. I called Mike over, he was not sure what it was either, he had never seen a Franconia so ugly, I know I never had either. We looked at it, it sure did not look like one, but we figured it was, so we Mike took a picture of it just in case. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/peregrineflier/toms171fran.jpg I picked it up and wiped the dirt off, it was not so bad after all, it is about fifty percent crusted ( the buried side) and weighed in at 171.5 grams. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/peregrineflier/DSCN1103.jpg It my not be the best looking Franconia out there, but it will always be my favorite one!

[meteorite-list] Opportunity Mars Rover Stuck in Sand
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/050428_rover_update.html Opportunity Mars Rover Stuck in Sand By Leonard David space.com 28 April 2005 NASA's Opportunity Mars rover has run into a sandy snag. All of its six wheels have sunk in deep into a large ripple of soil. Rover operators are optimistic they can extricate the robot from its jam, having gotten dug in before. But ground controllers will need time to wheel back on top of the soil again. Time will also be spent figuring out what's different about the soil that has bogged down Opportunity, hoping to keep this problem from occurring down the road. The Mars machinery had been cruising southward across the open parking lot-like landscape of Meridiani Planum, full of larger and larger ripples of soil. Opportunity has been en route to its next stopover, Erebus crater, nestled inside an even larger crater known as Terra Nova. Be very, very patient A note to all you Opportunity fans: Get used to the current scenery, because we're going to be here awhile, said Steve Squyres, lead scientist on the Mars Exploration Rover effort at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. We are very optimistic that we'll be able to get out of here, but we're really going to take our time doing it. Squyres said the first rule in this case is do no harm - and that means don't rush anything. We're going to take lots of pictures of all the terrain around the vehicle, to get a very complete picture of the situation. We're going to do lots of testing with the rovers that we have on the ground to simulate the situation on Mars. This testing will be aimed not just at finding a plan that will work, but at finding the very best plan that will work, Squyres explained in a Cornell rover web site. One possibility is trying a number of small maneuvers with the robot at first. That information-gathering could then lead to even more testing. All of this is going to take a lot of time. But this is a very precious vehicle up there, in excellent health, and there's no reason to rush anything, Squyres said. The main message now, he added, is to be very, very patient. Tiny craters discovered Prior to the rover run-a-muck, Mars rover scientists noted that Opportunity had made yet a new discovery. Two small craters were found on the plains of Meridiani - both less than half an inch deep and clearly visible in snapshots taken by the rover's navigation cameras. The two tiny craters were a surprise find, said Matt Golombek, a principal scientist on the Mars Exploration Rover mission at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. These are the smallest craters yet seen on Mars, he explained in a JPL-released statement. Given that these two craters haven't been covered by sand even though they are surrounded by sand ripples on a flat plain lends support to the idea that they're fairly recent, Golombek said. Of course, recent might mean any time from yesterday to 100 million years ago. Cause of the impact craters? They could have been created by an object from space that was large enough to make it through the martian atmosphere without burning up. Alternatively, the tiny craters could be the result of falling rock fragments ejected from a larger crater that formed when something crashed into the martian surface. While engineers wrestle with Opportunity's show-stopping sand trap, sistership Spirit is busy at work on the other side of the planet surveying the Columbia Hills within Gusev Crater. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Cassini's Radar And VIMS Instruments Eye Impact Crater On Titan
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/cassini-05zs.html Cassini's Radar And VIMS Instruments Eye Impact Crater On Titan SpaceDaily April 29, 2005 [image] VIMS false-color image showing one of Titan's most prominent impact craters. It shows the faint halo to be slightly bluer than surrounding material. That the material is bluer than its surroundings, while also being darker, suggests that the faint halo is somewhat different in composition. This suggests that the composition of Titan¹s upper crust varies with depth, and various materials were excavated when the crater was formed. Photo credit: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona. Pasadena CA (JPL) - The Cassini spacecraft has seen a 50-mile-diameter impact crater on Titan with different instruments on separate flybys, giving scientists new information on impact-crater formation on Saturn's giant moon. They've released a composite image of one of Titan's most prominent impact craters as previously seen by Cassini's radar and recently seen by its Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS). The radar image was taken during the Cassini spacecraft's Feb. 15, 2005 Titan flyby, and the VIMS images were taken during its April 16, 2005 Titan flyby, said Robert H. Brown of The University of Arizona, head of the VIMS experiment. Brown released the composite image at the European Geosciences Union meeting in Vienna, Austria, on Monday (April 25). The crater seen on Titan by both radar and VIMS is more than 50 times larger than Meteor Crater in northern Arizona. In radar, the crater and its ejecta blanket are bright. In radar, brighter surfaces mean rougher terrains, or else terrains tilted towards the radar. At VIMS infrared wavelengths, the crater appears dark and the ejecta blanket is bright, showing that the crust on the crater floor is different material than the ejecta. The composite image highlights the differences and similarities in how two instruments see the same thing, Brown said. It shows the power of combining instruments when you are trying to understand objects in the Saturnian system. VIMS is essentially a camera # that takes pictures in 352 different colors at the same time. The colors cover the visible spectrum and into the infrared, or from three-tenths of a micron up to five and one-tenth microns. (A micron is one millionth of a meter.) Scientists can identify the chemical composition of the surfaces, atmospheres and rings of Saturn and its moons using VIMS. Cassini began a 4-year-or-more exploratory tour of the Saturn system in July 2004. It has seen two impact craters on Titan so far. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Rock Discovered in New Hampshire A Meteorite?
http://www.theunionleader.com/articles_showa.html?article=54008 Rock discovered in Manchester may be meteorite By RILEY YATES and CAROL ROBIDOUX Union Leader (New Hampshire) April 29, 2005 MANCHESTER - What's 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

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rover Update - April 29, 2005
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Subhead - sol 443-446, April 29, 2005 Opportunity used the spectrometers on its arm to examine the soil where the rover stayed for six sols, then resumed driving on sol 446. However, the drive ended after 40 meters when Opportunity was crossing a dune and dug into it. Engineers are using a test rover to evaluate options for getting off the dune. Sol-by-sol summaries: Sol 443 (ending on April 23, 2005): IDD campaign! We started off by unstowing the instrument deployment device -- the robotic arm -- and performing a joint stare of the sky using the microscopic imager and panoramic camera. We then changed tools to the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer and collected data for 5 hours and 41 minutes about the composition of the soil in front of the rover. Sol 444: Opportunity deep-slept overnight, and woke up to perform a sky survey while the Sun was high in the sky. We then changed tools to the Mossbauer spectrometer and started a 31-hour integration on the soil. Sol 445: In order to keep the Mossbauer integration running, the rover did not use the deep-sleep mode overnight. Today was devoted to continued Mossbauer integration on the soil. At last, we stopped the Mossbauer integration at 11:12 p.m. local time and Opportunity deep-slept for the rest of the night. Sol 446: We planned a drive of about 90 meters (295 feet). After driving about 40 meters (131 feet), Opportunity dug into soft dune material, impeding further progress. Imaging indicates all four corner wheels have dug in by more than a wheel radius as the rover attempted to climb over a dune about 30 centimeters (12 inches) tall. Opportunity is healthy and in a stable configuration but further analysis is needed to understand this event and plan future driving. Over next several sols, Opportunity will focus on remote sensing while on Earth a series of testbed runs are in progress to simulate terrain interaction and evaluate different egress options. As of sol 446 (ending on April 26, 2005), Opportunity's odometry total is 5,346 meters (3.32 miles). __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Mars Rover Panorama Shows Vista From 'Lookout' Point
MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICE JET PROPULSION LABORATORY CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91109. TELEPHONE (818) 354-5011 http://www.jpl.nasa.gov Guy Webster (818) 354-6278 Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Dolores Beasley (202) 358-1753 NASA Headquarters, Washington Image Advisory: 2005-066 April 29, 2005 Mars Rover Panorama Shows Vista From 'Lookout' Point From a ridgeline vantage point overlooking slopes, valleys and plains, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has returned its latest color panorama of the martian landscape. Spirit's Lookout panorama is available online at http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/mer_main.html and http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov . The approximately true color image shows a full 360-degree view from a site informally named Larry's Lookout, about halfway up Husband Hill. Dr. Jim Bell of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., lead scientist for the panoramic cameras on both the Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers, said, Spirit and the rover team worked hard over many weeks to get to this vantage point along the flanks of Husband Hill. The rugged ridge and valley terrain seen here is similar in some respects to the view seen months earlier at the 'West Spur,' but the chemistry and mineralogy here are significantly different. Specifically, some of the areas seen here amid the outcrop rocks and in places where the subsurface was exposed by the rover wheels contain the highest sulfur abundances ever measured by Spirit. The view includes the summit of Husband Hill about 200 meters (about 660 feet) southward and about 45 meters (about 150 feet) higher. As Spirit continues uphill, scientists are looking for evidence about whether the intensity of water- related alteration increases with elevation or whether there are pockets of more heavily altered rocks and soils scattered throughout the hills. Spirit's panoramic camera took more than 300 individual frames between Feb. 27 and March 2 that are combined into the big picture. Downloading the frames to Earth took several weeks, and processing took additional time. Imaging specialists at Cornell and at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., calibrated the color and assembled the image. Spirit and its twin, Opportunity, successfully completed three-month primary missions a year ago. In extended missions since then, they have been exploring at increasing distances from their landing sites. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages NASA's Mars Exploration Rover project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. - end - __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Left at 1 am from California, started hunting at 6 am after a breakfast/gas stop at good 'ole exit 9, spent 11+ hours in the field, and then drove home. A long 21-hour day. The drive always seems that much longer when you come home empty-handed, but at least I got some photos of the horned lizard and some of those giant yellow caterpillars that are at Franconia by the thousands). Also had a nice visit with Jim Smaller and Dennis Wells who always seem to be there when I am!

(See -- I ~told~ you you should be going there whenever you get a chance!) The fairly large metal veins are diagnostic for Franconia H5. You had better luck than I on my last trip there March 31. Left at 1 am from California, started hunting at 6 am after a breakfast/gas stop at good 'ole exit 9, spent 11+ hours in the field, and then drove home. A long 21-hour day. The drive always seems that much longer when you come home empty-handed, but at least I got some photos of the horned lizard and some of those giant yellow caterpillars that are at Franconia by the thousands). Also had a nice visit with Jim Smaller and Dennis Wells who always seem to be there when I am! Cheers, Rob -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[meteorite-list] Rediculous Crater Question
It seems that it is hard for most to pick up the feature I spotted on the NOAA satellite weather animations. I guess I have been looking at these satellite pictures since the 70's when I worked at Goldstone and Goddard. So I must be seeing something else. One has to check it at several times a day for over a week to get a chance of seeing the feature in all its glory. Anyway I found a decent geographical relief map and lo and behold my crater feature was moved East about 400 mi. It appears the States grid on the NOAA map is off by that much. Received a reply from a USGS researcher who spotted another smaller crater feature next to ShipRock NMex. His was much better formed and it sure looks like a crater to me. But then I am just a hobbiest. Anyway on the relief map my two large features become more complicated and one might have to stretch it a few to come to any conclusionsHowever both features show to me and there is even the upwelling in the center of the larger circle. I guess the only way to make sure is to check the mountain ring looking for shocked quartz. But as the Geographer put it, I have not identified anything definitive about this area and whether there is meteorite or volcanic activity that would have caused a crater here. However, your hypothesis is a worthy one, but would have to be tested. And so I have something to do now if I ever get to travel to NMex and check these features out. Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it. John __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
