Re: [meteorite-list] pieces forsale...authenticity problem?
Thank you for crossing out the active GEIDAM for sale ad today, Matteo, on the meteorite.com classifieds. Did you contact any buyers from this same material you offered on eBay about 6 months ago to make correct those as well? If you had any customers, please let them all know if you have not already. Several months ago I tried to address your meteorite.com ad quietly by writing to the kind sponsors of that site regarding and nothing happened although they promised to investigate. I was sure you'd be contacted and it would be removed and I was disappointed nothing happened. I will stop wondering why nothing happened for several months and chalk it up to an oversight - now that you've kindly and responsibly removed it. In Mexico we deal with oversights every day when shopping in corner stores and the like and we become jaded. There is a pattern. The onus for correction is always on the buyer to say they've been shortchanged, bought something that is less than it is claimed to be, etc., and to ask for resolution, which many people simply are too timid or lacking self-confidence to do. For some reason it never happens that we get extra change when making a purchase, or we don't get gold when paying for silver (which we would give back of course). So if someone does the same thing twice my policy is to kindly blacklist them and tell all of my friends in confidence to do the same. Thanks to Art for the opportunity toair the autumn laundry. Now this leaves Steve alone, who I hope will follow suite so I can get off the GEIDAM crusading pulpit. I am not suggesting anything bad about inattention or mistakes on Matteo's part, please my respect only goes to him for cleaning up. I am suggesting it is not worth anyone's while to ever be involved in transactions that could be perceived reasonably as questionable. That's the motivation to remember you have a fake meteorite up for sale on the major independent commercial meteorite site and need to pull it before the next Christmas. PS Matteo, I hope that the fake Geidam meteorite we received is something else even better, as I have at least 100grams of it and am waiting to hear back to make my decision as the kind principal dealer offered. There is really no need to pass a gato por liebre (how do you say that in English?, I forgot). It is some other meteorite just as nice to own. Good luck Matteo, too. If anyone has real specimens from the GEIDAM locality, please let me know, even if it isn't for sale, I'd love to have the pleasure of a consolation photo.

News Release: 2006-135 October 30, 2006 Only Five More Days for Your Name to Rise With the Dawn NASA's campaign to send the nom de plumes of people from around the world into the heart of the asteroid belt ends Sat., Nov. 4. Submitted names will be carried on board NASA's Dawn, the first spacecraft to travel between and scrutinize two distinct worlds. Mission scientists are confident Dawn observations of asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres will answer basic questions about the nature and composition of these celestial wanderers. How many chances do you get to fly into the very heart of the asteroid belt? said Keyur Patel, Dawn project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. When the craft is launched in June 2007, yours and the names of your loved ones can hitch along for the ride and be part of space exploration history. Dawn will carry a silicon chip containing the names of asteroid, space and other enthusiasts from around the world. People may submit their names for this historic one-way mission by visiting JPL's Dawn Web site now through Nov. 4 at http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov . More than 170,000 people have already signed up for the asteroid belt tour. Following launch, Dawn will employ an ion engine to propel it during its more than four year, 3-billion-kilometer journey (1.9-billion miles) to its first target asteroid Vesta. After months of detailed scientific observation of Vesta, Dawn's ion engine will fire up again, and send it on its way for a 2014 rendezvous with Ceres, recently anointed a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union. This campaign will allow people from around the world to become directly involved with Dawn, and through that, become familiar with the mission's science, said University of California Los Angeles professor Dr. Chris Russell, Dawn's principal investigator. The Dawn mission is managed by JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The University of California Los Angeles is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital Sciences Corporation of Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the Dawn spacecraft.

[meteorite-list] NASA Announces Discovery Program Selections
http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2006/oct/HQ_06342_Discovery_AO.html Erica Hupp/Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1237/1726 Oct. 30, 2006 RELEASE: 06-342 NASA Announces Discovery Program Selections NASA Monday selected concept studies for missions that would return a sample of an enigmatic asteroid, probe the chemistry of Venus' atmosphere and reveal the interior structure and history of the Earth's moon. Also selected for further study are three missions of opportunity that would make new use of two NASA spacecraft that have completed their primary objectives. The science community astounded us with the creativity of their proposals, said NASA's Science Mission Directorate Associate Administrator Mary Cleave. We look forward to the new knowledge of our solar system that these concepts may provide. Three missions were selected for concept studies: -- The Origins Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security (OSIRIS) mission would survey an asteroid and provide the first return of asteroid surface material samples to Earth. Michael Drake of the University of Arizona, Tucson, is OSIRIS's principal investigator. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., would manage the project. -- The Vesper mission is a Venus chemistry and dynamics orbiter that would advance our knowledge of the planet's atmospheric composition and dynamics. Gordon Chin of Goddard is Vesper's principal investigator. Goddard would manage the project. -- The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission would use high-quality gravity field mapping of the moon to determine the moon's interior structure. Maria Zuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., is GRAIL's principal investigator. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., would manage the project. The three missions of opportunity selected for concept studies are: -- The Deep Impact eXtended Investigation of Comets (DIXI) mission would use the existing Deep Impact spacecraft for an extended flyby mission to a second comet to take pictures of its nucleus to increase our understanding of the diversity of comets. Michael A'Hearn of the University of Maryland, College Park, Md., is DIXI's principal investigator. -- The Extrasolar Planet Observations and Characterization (EPOCh) mission would use the high-resolution camera on the Deep Impact spacecraft to search for the first Earth-sized planets detected around other stars. L. Drake Deming of Goddard is EPOCh's principal investigator. -- The Stardust NExT mission would use the existing Stardust spacecraft to flyby comet Tempel 1 and observe changes since the Deep Impact mission visited it in 2005. In 2005, Tempel 1 has made its closest approach to the sun, possibly changing the surface of the comet. Joseph Veverka of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., is NExT's principal investigator. These proposals were among approximately two dozen submitted in response to NASA's Discovery Program 2006 Announcement of Opportunity in April. The announcement solicited two types of investigations: complete missions to design, build and fly new spacecraft to accomplish specific planetary science objectives; and missions of opportunity that propose scientific uses for existing spacecraft or build instrumentation for spacecraft of other space agencies. NASA may select one or more investigations to continue into a development effort after detailed review of the concept studies. Decisions about which mission concepts will proceed to development are expected next year. New missions will receive $1.2 million to conduct concept studies. If selected for continuation beyond the concept phase, each project must complete its mission, including archiving and analyzing data, for less than $425 million. Missions of opportunities will receive $250,000 to conduct concept studies. If selected for continuation, each mission of opportunity must complete its project, including data archive and analysis, for less than $35 million.

[meteorite-list] NASA Awards Funding For Possible UA-Led Asteroid Sample-Return Mission (OSIRIS)
NASA AWARDS FUNDING FOR POSSIBLE UA-LED ASTEROID SAMPLE-RETURN MISSION (From Lori Stiles, University Communications, 520-626-4402) - Monday, October 30, 2006 Contact Information Michael Drake 520-621-6962 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dante Lauretta 520-626-1138 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Related Web sites http://www.lpl.arizona.edu http://discovery.nasa.gov/ - NASA announced today that it has awarded a University of Arizona-led team $1.2 million to further develop a proposed Discovery-class mission called OSIRIS. OSIRIS would return a pristine sample of a scientifically priceless asteroid to Earth in 2017. Regents' Professor and UA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) Director Michael Drake is principal investigator for the proposed $415 million mission. Drake and LPL Associate Professor Dante Lauretta, who is OSIRIS deputy principal investigator, will direct the mission science. LPL will also provide OSIRIS' cameras. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., is responsible for overall mission management. Lockheed Martin Space Systems will build the flight system, the sampling mechanism, and the sample return capsule. Lockheed also will perform spacecraft operations. The $1.2 million award is for the next seven months, when the team will prepare a more detailed engineering study of how it will accomplish mission science objectives. OSIRIS would be the first spacecraft sent to explore a carbonaceous asteroid, a type of asteroid that contains primitive carbon compounds that have survived since solar system formation 4.5 billion years ago. OSIRIS is both a mythological figure and an acronym. O stands for the scientific theme, origins. SI is for spectral interpretation, or taking images of the asteroid at wavelengths that will reveal its composition. RI, or resource identification, is surveying the asteroid for such useful resources as water and metals. S stands for security, learning how to predict the detailed motion Earth-approaching asteroids. OSIRIS of Egyptian mythology is the god of life and fertility, the god who taught Egyptians agriculture, Lauretta noted. There's an analogy to the proposed 21st century space mission, he added. We're looking at the kind of object that we think brought life to Earth, that is, objects that seeded Earth with early biomolecules, the precursors of life. Not only would OSIRIS delve into the evolution of our solar system and life, it would identify such resources as water, precious metals and other materials needed by future human explorers in near-Earth space, Drake and Lauretta said. And, not least, OSIRIS would accurately measure the Yarkovsky effect for the first time. Without understanding the Yarkovsky effect -- a force created by the uneven solar heating of an asteroid's surface -- humans can't defend Earth against potentially catastrophic asteroid impacts. There's no sure way to predict an Earth-approaching asteroid's orbit unless you can factor in how the Yarkovsky effect will change that orbit, Drake and Lauretta said. Their targeted near-Earth asteroid was discovered in 1999 and is named RQ36. It is roughly 580 meters in diameter, or about two-fifths of a mile. Asteroid RQ36 orbits between about 83 million and 126 million miles from the sun, swinging within about 280,000 miles of Earth orbit, or roughly 40,000 miles beyond the moon. The International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center has officially classified RQ36 as a potentially hazardous asteroid. Asteroid RQ36 is especially rare because it linked to other asteroids that are outgassing volatiles and organic molecules like a comet. Only four such comet-like asteroids have been found in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, Lauretta said. Asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter are the leftovers of terrestrial planet formation. Near-Earth asteroids are fragments of main belt asteroids that were sent careening out of the belt in collisions with larger asteroids millions of years ago. Those which move into Earth-approaching orbits present hazards -- hazards that Congress has mandated that NASA address. But near-Earth asteroids also present great opportunities, Lauretta said. The analogy is that, much the same way rocks and sediments in a river bed reveal information about the type of material found upstream, we can use near-Earth objects to discover a great deal about the nature of bodies found in the main belt, he said. That's what we're doing in sampling a near-Earth object -- we're looking at the rocks that are tumbling in from the main asteroid belt, a place that's too expensive to sample with a Discovery-class mission. If selected, OSIRIS would launch in fall 2011 and reach Asteroid RQ36 in February 2013. It would rendezvous with RQ36 for nearly 300 days, using scanning lidar, an instrument similar to radar but using light instead of radio, and LPL-designed

Cheers, Pete http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,20669940-5006009,00.html Rocked by $1m space theft By Andre Khoury October 30, 2006 12:00 A METEORITE worth a million dollars, once at the centre of an ownership dispute, has been stolen from a security business. The space rock, known as the Binya Meteorite, was taken from a cabinet in the office of professional investigators Austrace in Newcastle on Sunday night. The theft of the 11kg space debris follows a nasty dispute between its original owners and the Insolvency and Trustee Service of Australia before it was sold to a private collector in 2004. The meteorite, which is believed to have come from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, was discovered in 1981 by Terry and Trish Myers when it landed on their wheat farm at Binya, in southwest NSW. The meteorite, valued at $1 million by US collectors in 1996, was used as a doorstop before its value was discovered. Mr and Mr Myers, who now live at Hervey Bay in Queensland, were shocked when The Daily Telegraph told them about the theft of the rock, which they claim was unfairly seized by ITSA. Oh my God,'' Mrs Myers said. You've just dropped a bomb. It was our girls' heritage.'' Overseas experts say the meteorite is coarse octathendrite from a cluster of iron meteorites, which are among the rarest known. Senior-Constable Tony Tamplin said several internal doors at Austrace had been forced open and rooms ransacked. _ Experience Live Search from your PC or mobile device today. http://www.live.com/?mkt=en-ca __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Stolen Meteorite

(not that this title necessarily gives them credibility for anything) snip The space rock, known as the Binya Meteorite, was taken from a cabinet in the office of professional investigators Austrace in Newcastle on Sunday night. The theft of the 11kg space debris follows a nasty dispute between its original owners and the Insolvency and Trustee Service of Australia before it was sold to a private collector in 2004. So how much did it sell for, in the 2004 auction? (I'm betting that it wasn't a mil). http://www.lexsimshauser.com.au/Meteorite/Meteorite.htm http://www.lexsimshauser.com.au/Meteorite/images_large/rock-(hires).jpg __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
