Re: [meteorite-list] NASA Statement on Student Asteroid Calculations
Hi, You mean this report http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2214375/schoolboy-predicts-asteroid Graham Ensor Ron Baalke wrote: April 16, 2008 Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 [EMAIL PROTECTED] RELEASE: 08-103 NASA STATEMENT ON STUDENT ASTEROID CALCULATIONS WASHINGTON -- The Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., has not changed its current estimates for the very low probability (1 in 45,000) of an Earth impact by the asteroid Apophis in 2036. Contrary to recent press reports, NASA offices involved in near-Earth object research were not contacted and have had no correspondence with a young German student, who claims the Apophis impact probability is far higher than the current estimate. This student's conclusion reportedly is based on the possibility of a collision with an artificial satellite during the asteroid's close approach in April 2029. However, the asteroid will not pass near the main belt of geosynchronous satellites in 2029, and the chance of a collision with a satellite is exceedingly remote. Therefore, consideration of this satellite collision scenario does not affect the current impact probability estimate for Apophis, which remains at 1 in 45,000. -end- __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Weighing more than 925lbs, the object was discovered eight years ago in China's Xinjiang Uygar province. Its rare olivine crystals endured atmospheric and impact forces as it crashed down to Earth. Bonhams' Natural History Department director Thomas Lindgren said: Less than 1% of all meteorites are pallasites, the most alluring of all meteorites due to their aesthetic appeal. Pallasites - meteorites composed of around 50% olivine and peridot crystals and 50% nickel-iron - are thought to be relics of forming planets.

[meteorite-list] Chondrule close up!
Hi chondrule fan list members, I wanted to share some micrographs of a chondrule. The material is no big deal. (It is pending but it looks like it will be L4/5.) A chondrule? You have got to see these shots. They were taken in incident (reflected) cross polarized light which, unlike transmitted Xpol, is true color. Just what it looks like up close. My first love in meteorite microscope examination! No thin section, just a hand sample polished to 1/4 micron. I have 5 images that I can put in an email (nothing to down load). If you like chondrules, you will want to see this one. I have done this before and I am up to nothing. I am not harvesting email addresses! It may be some time before classification is complete and I won't post images to the Gallery until it is named. Some of you have received email image files from me before, perhaps you could let the others know I am just sharing some cool shots and nothing more! Tom Phillips, starsinthedirt **Need a new ride?
