Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Mercury splattered Earth / little bit of aDeep Impact article
Hi, Doug, Darren, List The original simulation of interplanetary transfer by Gladman (The exchange of impact ejecta between terrestrial planets, by Brett J. Gladman, Joseph A. Burns, Martin Duncan, Pascal Lee and Harold F. Levison, Science, 1996) showed 0.5% of impact ejecta from Mercury reaching the Earth from a series of small varied individual impacts such as would produce interplanetary meteorites. I would imagine that one huge whack would be even more efficient at transferring material between planets, but even if it wasn't, the one huge whack would have removed a good percentage of Mercury's existing crust (thus accounting for its disporportionally large metallic core), perhaps 20% of the mass of the planet, or about 10^23 kg, or a little more than the mass of the Earth's Moon. One-half percent of that is 5 x 10^20 kg, or to write it out in full, 500,000,000,000,000,000 tons, which would amount to 1/10,000th of the present mass of the Earth (4 x 10^24 kg) more or less. Any one wishing a sample of the planet Mercury for analysis or investigation should just mail me $1000. I will immediately ship them a 23-pound box of rocks which will contain one full gram of Mercurian planetary sample material. All you will have to do is separate it from the other 9,999 grams. If I didn't charge at least $1000 per gram for Mercurian material, why, then the market would be in ruin! Sterling K.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Craft Begins Adjusting Orbit
March 31, 2006
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter yesterday began a crucial six-month
campaign to gradually shrink its orbit into the best geometry for the
mission's science work.
Three weeks after successfully entering orbit around Mars, the
spacecraft is in a phase called aerobraking. This process uses
friction with the tenuous upper atmosphere to transform a very elongated
35-hour orbit to the nearly circular two-hour orbit needed for the
mission's science observations.
The orbiter has been flying about 426 kilometers (265 miles) above Mars'
surface at the nearest point of each loop since March 10, then swinging
more than 43,000 kilometers (27,000 miles) away before heading in again.
While preparing for aerobraking, the flight team tested several
instruments, obtaining the orbiter's first Mars pictures and
demonstrating the ability of its Mars Climate Sounder instrument to
track the atmosphere's dust, water vapor and temperatures.
On Thursday, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter fired its intermediate
thrusters for 58 seconds at the far point of the orbit. That maneuver
lowered its altitude to 333 kilometers (207 miles) when the spacecraft
next passed the near point of its orbit, at 6:46 a.m. Pacific time today
(9:46 a.m. Eastern Time).
We're not low enough to touch Mars' atmosphere yet, but we'll get to
that point next week, said Dr. Daniel Kubitschek of NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., deputy leader for the
aerobraking phase of the mission.
The phase includes about 550 dips into the atmosphere, each carefully
planned for the desired amount of braking. At first, the dips will be
more than 30 hours apart. By August, there will be four per day.
We have to be sure we don't dive too deep, because that could overheat
parts of the orbiter, Kubitschek said. The biggest challenge is the
variability of the atmosphere.
Readings from accelerometers during the passes through the atmosphere
are one way the spacecraft can provide information about upward swelling
of the atmosphere due to heating.
The Mars Climate Sounder instrument also has the capability to monitor
changes in temperature that would affect the atmosphere's thickness. We
demonstrated that we're ready to support aerobraking, should we be
needed, JPL's Dr. Daniel McCleese, principal investigator for the Mars
Climate Sounder, said of new test observations.
Infrared-sensing instruments and cameras on two other Mars orbiters are
expected to be the main sources of information to the advisory team of
atmospheric scientists providing day-to-day assistance to the
aerobraking navigators and engineers. There is risk every time we enter
the atmosphere, and we are fortunate to have Mars Global Surveyor and
Mars Odyssey with their daily global coverage helping us watch for
changes that could increase the risk, said JPL's Jim Graf, project
manager for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Using aerobraking to get the spacecraft's orbit to the desired shape,
instead of doing the whole job with thruster firings, reduces how much
fuel a spacecraft needs to carry when launched from Earth. It allows
you to fly more science payload to Mars instead of more fuel,
Kubitschek said.
Once in its science orbit, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will return more
data about the planet than all previous Mars missions combined. The data
will help researchers decipher the processes of change on the planet. It
will also aid future missions to the surface of Mars by examining
potential landing sites and providing a high-data-rate communications
relay.

[meteorite-list] Airport To Be Built on Tswaing Crater in South Africa
http://www.citizen.co.za/index/article.aspx?pDesc=15347,1,22 Fuss over Fassie airport Vibe reporter Citizen.co.za (South Africa) April 3, 2006 JOHANNESBURG - Plans to build a new international airport on the site of the Tswaing crater outside Tshwane have hit a hitch. The airport, which is to be named in honour of the late Brenda Fassie, was proposed ten months ago. It has been enthusiastically promoted as an alternative to the air traffic congestion at Johannesburg International and it would also provide a source of income to the local community. Funding has already been tentatively approved from the Tshwane Development Fund and additional funds have also been earmarked for the project by the Lotto. But environmentalists have now climbed on the bandwagon and started circulating an e-mail petition asking residents to stop the project from going ahead. They claim the value of the site as an educational and environmental site is far more valuable. 'Save the Gat spokesman Ekardt Krap said: Since 1993 we have battled to get this important site recognised. Only in 2001 did they decide to develop it into an ecotourism destination. That year, it became the Tswaing Meteorite Crater Museum. We must also be concerned about the resident plant species and wildlife, especially the 240-odd species of birds found at this site. What is happening here is pure political greed. Mr Krap said he hoped that if the project went ahead another meteor would come and land on the same spot decimating the development. It is believed that 220 000 years ago a blazing stony meteorite the size of half a football field slammed into the earth's crust leaving behind a huge crater, 1,4 km in diameter and 200m deep. Architects and planners believe this crater would be ideal for tarring and developing as an airport runway, as it is so flat. It is believed that another row is simmering as fans of Winnie Mandela believe the airport should be named after her. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Some Scientists Think Humans Descended from Martian Microbes
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/business/content/local_news/epaper/2006/04/03/c1a_MARS_0403.html Some scientists think humans descended from Martian microbes By Stacey Singer Palm Beach Post April 3, 2006 Astrobiology sounds like the stuff of lava lamps and Jetsons reruns. Yet seven years after NASA launched a formal astrobiology research program, scientists of every stripe - geologists, biologists, chemists, paleontologists, oceanographers and astronomers - have rallied to the quest. They've spent as much as $65 million a year trying to solve a mystery that has underpinned religion and inspired thinkers from Seneca to Carl Sagan: How did life on the lonely Earth begin? And is Earth really the only source of life in the universe? With the help of modern tools such as the genome, high-powered computer modeling and robotics, they're finding some out-of-this-world answers, ones that may lead to Mars and beyond. During an astrobiology conference in Washington last week, scientists debated the newest evidence and worried that funding for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is vaporizing, just as their cross-disciplinary work is unearthing extraordinary discoveries, such as the organic matter in bits of Jovian comet dust recently collected by NASA's Stardust probe. Many scientists favor the theory that life began as oxygen-loathing microbes in superheated deep-sea vents 3.8 billion years ago, when water probably covered the planet. Others suggest life's assembly could have occurred along the crystal face of damp volcanic rock. And then there is the theory known as panspermia. Once the province of science-fiction novels and cartoons, the notion that the vital ingredients of life came from outer space has garnered respect from some lofty places of late. A few scientists think there's evidence that humans actually descended from Martian microbes, not exactly what the author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus had in mind. But it merits further study, said chemist Steven Benner, who has founded a new institute in Gainesville, the Westheimer Institute for Science and Technology, which aims to bridge chemistry and biology, with evolution as its guide. If you really want to find a place to get life started, it's Mars, and if you want to get a place to get life to flourish, it's Earth, Benner said. While at the University of Florida a few years ago, Benner's team collaborated with scientists at The Scripps Research Institute to explore what kind of chemistry is necessary to support life. In the process of trying to synthesize a living, evolving molecule in his lab, Benner seized upon minerals containing the element boron, the substance that makes some fireworks glow green. Was boron the ingredient that enabled the Earth to go green as well? Benner found that boron, with calcium at hand, had the talent of helping hold together the chain of carbon needed to stabilize a ribose sugar, the backbone of ribonucleic acid, the scaffolding for our genes. Without boron and calcium, heat, water and lightning would cause ribose to disintegrate into a tarlike mess, unable to support genes. For geologic reasons, Benner's boron finding points directly to Mars as a likely source for Earth life, said Cal Tech geobiologist Joseph L. Kirschvink. When Steve told me of his work on ribosynthesis with boron, I said, 'Steve you've just proven to me that we're Martians.' That's because the boron needed to make ribose must come as calcium borate, a mineral that's soluble in water, Kirschvink believes. A few places on Earth, including Death Valley, have a good supply of calcium borate, but they were under water at the time the first evidence of microbes appears on Earth, Kirschvink said. That was not the case on Earth's nearest neighbor, Mars, which was sending off bits of rock and dust in the Earth's general direction every time it took a hit from a meteorite. We know we have about a ton of Martian rock coming in a year, Kirschvink said. And it wouldn't take more than a few spores to seed the Earth with life. Could Mars possibly have had spores? Space exploration and powerful telescopes have revealed that the red planet has polar ice, just like our own planet. In 2004, NASA's Opportunity rover found evidence that it once had liquid water running across its surface. And 3 billion or 4 billion years ago, at the time when the Earth apparently was covered with water, Mars may have had a warmer atmosphere and abundant microbial life. It's entirely reasonable that there was life on Mars, but maybe long extinct, said Gerald Joyce, a professor at Scripps in La Jolla, Calif., who has collaborated with Benner. The way to find it is to go there, drill down a bit, bring back samples to Earth and look at them. Unfortunately, a plan to do just that has fallen victim to NASA budget cuts. It's very sad, Joyce said. Plus, President Bush's budget request to Congress for next year proposes slashing funding for

[meteorite-list] Asteroids: Treasures of the Past and a Threat to the Future
http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMC43NFGLE_index_0.html Asteroids: treasures of the past and a threat to the future European Space Agency 3 April 2006 If a large asteroid such as the recently identified 2004 VD17 -- about 500 m in diameter with a mass of nearly 1000 million tonnes -- collides with the Earth it could spell disaster for much of our planet. As part of ESA's Near-Earth Object deflecting mission Don Quijote, three teams of European industries are now carrying out studies on how to prevent this. ESA has been addressing the problem of how to prevent large Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) from colliding with the Earth for some time. In 1996 the Council of Europe called for the Agency to take action as part of a long-term global strategy for remedies against possible impacts. Recommendations from other international organisations, including the UN and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), soon followed. In response to these and other calls, ESA commissioned a number of threat evaluation and mission studies through its General Studies Programme (GSP). In July 2004 the preliminary phase was completed when a panel of experts appointed by ESA recommended giving the Don Quijote asteroid-deflecting mission concept maximum priority for implementation. Now it is time for industry to put forward their best design solutions for the mission. Following an invitation to tender and the subsequent evaluation process, three industrial teams have been awarded a contract to carry out the mission phase-A studies: * a team with Alcatel Alenia Space as prime contractor includes subcontractors and consultants from across Europe and Canada; Alcatel Alenia Space developed the Huygens Titan probe and is currently working on the ExoMars mission * a consortium led by EADS Astrium, which includes Deimos Space from Spain and consultants from several European countries, brings their experience of working on the design of many successful ESA interplanetary missions such as Rosetta, Mars and Venus Express * a team led by QinetiQ (UK), which includes companies and partners in Sweden and Belgium, draws on their expertise in mini and micro satellites including ESA's SMART-1 and Proba projects This month the three teams began work and a critical milestone will take place in October when the studies will be reviewed by ESA with the support of an international panel of experts. The results of this phase will be available next year. No reason for panic -- yet The risk is still small however, and may decrease even further when new observations are carried out. Still, if this or any other similar-sized object, such as 99942 Apophis, an asteroid that will come close enough to the Earth in 2029 to be visible to the naked eye, collided with our planet the energy released could be equivalent to a significant fraction of the world's nuclear arsenal, resulting in devastation across national borders. Luckily, impacts with very large asteroids are uncommon, although impacts with smaller asteroids are less unlikely and remote in time. In 1908 an asteroid that exploded over Siberia devastated an unpopulated forest area of more than 2000 km2; had it arrived just a few hours later, Saint Petersburg or London could have been hit instead. Fossils of the Solar System Asteroids are a part of our planet's history. As anyone visiting the Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona, USA or aiming a small telescope at the Moon can tell, there is plenty of evidence that the Earth and its cosmic neighbourhood passed through a period of heavy asteroid bombardment. On the Earth alone the remains of more than 160 impacts have been identified, some as notorious as the Chicxulub crater located in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, believed to be a trace of the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Collisions have shaped the history of our Solar System. Because asteroids and comets are remnants of the turbulent period in which the planets were formed, they are in fact similar to 'time capsules' and carry a pristine record of those early days. By studying these objects it is possible to learn more about the evolution of our Solar System as well as 'hints' about the origins of life on Earth. Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is one of these primitive building blocks and will be visited by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft in 2014, as a part of a very ambitious mission -- the first ever to land on a comet. Rosetta will also visit two main belt asteroids (Steins and Lutetia) on its way to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The mission will help us to understand if life on Earth began with the help of materials such as water and organisms brought to our planet by 'comet seeding'. ESA's Science programme is already looking at future challenges, and its Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 plan has identified an asteroid surface sample return as one of the key developments needed to

It was talking about ALH84001 without actually mentioning the name and then said that a British team of scientists had found a similar result in another Martian rock. Now I would assume that; a: this may have been big news in the space community and b: the British press may have made a big deal over this corroberation of previous results However, if either the above happened, they passed me by. Now I'll admit I've been busy the last few years but have I missed something significant Re: the British scientist results, or is it purely fabricated/exaggerated? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

RE: [meteorite-list] Aubrite?
Hmmm. Can it be possible that this is a sandstone with magnetite veins? If so,perhaps we have an arkosichornfelswith metasomatic precipitate hematite in fractures. It could be an EH chondrite, but I would have it checked out. it is no "sandstone" alone.
