[meteorite-list] Evidence For More Dust Than Ice In Comets
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Rosetta/SEMUSK5Y3EE_0.html Evidence for more dust than ice in comets European Space Agency 12 October 2005 Observations of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 made by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft after the Deep Impact collision suggest that comets are icy dirtballs, rather than dirty snowballs as previously believed. Comets spend most of their lifetime in a low-temperature environment far from the Sun. Their relatively unchanged composition carries important information about the origin of the Solar System. On 4 July this year, the NASA Deep Impact mission sent an impactor probe to hit the surface of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 to investigate the interior of a cometary nucleus. The 370 kg copper impactor hit Comet Tempel 1 with a relative velocity of 10.2 kilometres per second. The collision was expected to generate a crater with a predicted diameter of about 100-125 metres and eject cometary material. It vaporised 4500 tonnes of water, but surprisingly released even more dust. Tempel 1's icy nucleus, roughly the size of central Paris, is dynamic and volatile. Possibly the impact would also trigger an outburst of dust and gas, and produce a new active area on the comet's surface. Just before impact, the Hubble Space Telescope spotted a new jet of dust streaming from the icy comet. No one knows for sure what causes these outbursts. Rosetta, with its set of very sensitive instruments for cometary investigations, used its capabilities to observe Tempel 1 before, during and after the impact. At a distance of about 80 million kilometres from the comet, Rosetta was in the most privileged position to observe the event. European scientists using Rosetta's OSIRIS imaging system observed the comet's nucleus before and after the impact. OSIRIS comprises a narrow-angle camera (NAC) and a wide-angle camera (WAC). Both cameras imaged the extended dust coma from the impact in different filters. OSIRIS measured the water vapour content and the cross-section of the dust created by the impact. The scientists could then work out the corresponding dust/ice mass ratio, which is larger than one, suggesting that comets are composed more of dust held together by ice, rather than made of ice comtaminated with dust. Hence, they are now icy dirtballs rather than dirty snowballs as previously believed. The scientists did not find evidence of enhanced outburst activity of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 in the days after the impact, suggesting that, in general, impacts of meteoroids are not the cause of cometary outbursts. Scientists also hope to make a 3D reconstruction of the dust cloud around the comet by combining the OSIRIS images with those taken from ground observatories.

[meteorite-list] Book Review: Marvin Killgore's Book on Thin Sections - Part 1 of 2
Hello All, In the 2005 June issue of MAPS, you'll find a book review of Marvin Killgore's Book on Thin Sections. For those who are into thin sections but don't have a MAPS subscription, here is a scanned copy of H.C. Connolly's book review: D.S. LAURETTA, M. KILLGORE (2004) A Color Atlas of Meteorites in Thin Section (301 pp., $98.00, hardcover (ISBN 0-97204-721-2): As an undergraduate studying geological sciences at Rutgers University, I remember my mineralogy and petrology courses very well. I can remember going to the book store to purchase the books I needed for my courses and sitting down in the aisle reading through the two now farnous atlases of MacKenzie and Guilford (1980) and MacKenzie et al. (1982). As I started to read them in the aisle, I was totally captivated as, for the very first time, I saw images of minerals and rock textures through plain and crossed-polarized light. I clearly remember the child-like joy I felt when examining these books. I have used these books time and time again and they live in a very prominent place on my bookshelf and every petrology course should use them. Twenty years later, I was in the mail room in the departmental office of Kingsborough and noticed a package. I had been waiting for a new book, so I quickly opened the package as I walked from the mail room. To my great delight, it was the book I had been waiting for. I started to read through it as I walked up the stairs and was immediately captivated in a way that reminded me of my undergraduate days of reading through the MacKenzie books. I soon reached the middle of the hallway and sat down, still reading. Shortly thereafter, M i c h a e l W e i s b e r g and C y r e n a G o o d r i c h were walking past me in the hallway and soon joined me in curiously reading through the book and admiring the amazing photomicrographs of meteorites. It soon became apparent that I was going to need to have a proper read of it. As our little reading group broke up, I was walking back to my office when I heard Cyrena call down the hallway to me that she had wished she had such a book to learn with when she was first studying meteorites. The book, A Color Atlas of Meteorites in Thin Section by Dante S. Lauretta and Marvin Killgore, is a compilation of classic examples of beautiful photomicrographs of almost every meteorite class and type and accompanied by short descriptions of each class and type.
