Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Parent Bodies

2008-07-18 Thread lebofsky
Hi Pete and Michael:

The latest information that I am aware of is by Rivkin, et al. in Icarus
in 2006. Ceres is a G-class asteroid (similar to the C-class,
carbonaceous, asteroids, but with some differences in its visible spectrum
and a little brighter). Rivkin's analysis (of 3-micron observations) is
that Ceres is composed of iron-rich clays and about 5% carbonates, which
makes it similar to CI meteorites. However, there are other G-class
asteroids, so the connection is not as clear cut as with Vesta and the
vestoids (sounds like a rock group).

 With all the talk of Pluto and it's demoting, I got to looking
 in Wikipedia and then the subject of meteorites came up regarding 4Vesta.
 This got me to wondering, are there any
 meteorites that may be a candidate for Ceres as the parent body? If so,
 which ones are they? Interestingly enough, Ceres has had also it's share
 of demoting and upmoting as well. It all goes to show that nothing is
 very permanent in any of the sciences. Pete

Wow, some of those sure look like  water washes one sees in Earth deserts.

I found myself ducking my head  lower (as if I was looking out a window) in

I have bought 3D glasses from these folks:

There's nothing wrong with the cheap cardboard ones for occasional use.
They are also easy to stick into an envelope to send to friends so they can
see 3D pics you might produce and post.

Here are a few anaglyphs I've made myself.  My favorite is the small vug of
crystals in D'Orbigny Angrite.

In general, most times when a question starts with where do you get, the
answer is Ebay:.

Thanks for all the tips about Western Australian meteorites and tektites.
I haven't answered most of the mails I got, I'm a bit sporadically 
connected to the net while on the road but I read all and appreciate them. 
I have taken your advice in consideration.


Advices ranged from you are not allowed to touch them to Strange rocks 
are okay to collect... even from one of the staff of the Perth Museum. 
Put it in your pocket and don't tell anyone was his reply... and then he 
laughed, I've been in the desert all my life and I've never seen a 
meteorite. Good luck!


I will still go east to see Kalgoorlie and the mining towns in the desert. 
I will hunt for some australites and see if I can find any good mineral 
collecting places. Dig for some gold and just have a nice time. If I 
happens to stumble onto a suspected meteorite then I have to decide if I 
just leave it or bring it back to the museum. So far none have been able 
to cite the law so all I have is advice... guess it all boils down to 
common sense.
I have a GPS, extra batteries, zip lock bags and a pen to mark the bags. 
So if I happens to find a meteorite then I can take good care of it and 
deliver it to the museum.

[meteorite-list] Phoenix Mars Lander Continues Tests with Rasp

2008-07-18 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/phoenix/release.php?ArticleID=1794

Nasa's Phoenix Mars Lander Continues Tests with Rasp
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
July 18, 2008

TUCSON, Ariz. -- The team operating NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander plans to
tell the lander today to do a second, larger test of using a motorized
rasp to produce and gather shavings of frozen ground.

The planned test is a preparation for putting a similar sample into one
of Phoenix's laboratory ovens in coming days. The instrument with the
oven, the Thermal and Evolved- Gas Analyzer (TEGA), will be used to
check whether the hard layer exposed in a shallow trench is indeed rich
in water ice, as scientists expect, and to identify some other
ingredients in the frozen soil.

The rasp flings some of the shavings that it produces directly into an
opening on the back of the scoop at the end of the lander's robotic arm.
The test planned for today differs in several ways from the first test
of the rasp on Mars, on July 15.

First, we will scrape the terrain before rasping, to expose fresh
terrain for sampling, said Richard Volpe of NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., an engineer for the Phoenix robotic arm
team. Second, we will rasp four times in a row, twice the amount
previously.Third, the scoop blade will be run across the rasp holes to
pick up as much of the tailings as possible.

The test area is in the bottom of a trench about 5 centimeters (2
inches) deep, informally named Snow White, which is also the planned
site for acquiring an icy sample for the TEGA instrument. The team wants
to be sure to be able to collect and deliver the sample quickly, and
early in the Martian morning, in order to minimize the amount of ice
lost to vaporization before the material is sealed into the oven.
Today's plans include using the Robotic Arm Camera to check repeatedly
for any changes in the collected sample during seven hours after getting
it into the scoop.

The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of the University of Arizona
with project management at JPL and development partnership at Lockheed
Martin, Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space
Agency; the University of Neuchatel; the universities of Copenhagen and
Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish
Meteorological Institute. For more about Phoenix, visit:

[meteorite-list] Tomorrow in History + AMNH NYC

2008-07-18 Thread Notkin

Dear Listees:

Greetings comrades from Tucson. It's been a pretty mild summer so far  
by our standards. I think 106F is the record to date  : )  That's  
nothing for Tucson.


I happened to be looking at one of those Today in History things  
this evening and found it interesting to note that tomorrow, July 19,  
is both the 96th anniversary of the great Holbrook fall (1912) and  
also the day that Apollo 11, carrying the mighty Eagle module went  
into lunar orbit -- that was 1969 for you youngsters who weren't glued  
to their TV sets back then. Of course, I was just wee lad myself at  
the time  : )


So many List members have hunted at Holbrook -- I can think of at  
least twenty without even trying -- that it's a happy anniversary to  
mark. I often remember how our much-missed colleague the late, great  
Jim Kriegh would go up there on his own for a few days and come back  
with more pieces from one visit than I found in five trips. Kinda sad  
to think that Jim's house, just up the road from me, is now occupied  
by a non-meteorite hunter.


I was in NYC recently -- my first visit in over four years -- and took  
some time to visit the AMNH and check out the new meteorite exhibit.  
For the most part it is really spectacular. I can imagine one of the  
designers saying: You know that show 'Star Trek: Next Generation'?  
Well, we should make the display look like the bridge from that ship.  
The hall is very dark, with big ole' 31-ton Ahnighito sitting there in  
the middle on a raised circular stage, with one stellar iron after  
another arranged around it. On view is a truly gorgeous Glorieta  
Mountain siderite, covered in thumbprints and caramel patina, which I  
know will make a few GM hunters (myself included) almost insanely  
jealous  : )   There is a cool diorama of Canyon Diablo, and all kinds  
of amazing, assorted goodies in vertical cases on the walls. I found  
the glass cases a little small and crowded, but the meteorites are so  
fabulous, who really cares?


Many of you will, no doubt, have seen the new hall, which is, I  
suppose, already a few years old, but even after many years living in  
NYC it was a first for me. A fine afternoon spent there, and also  
visiting my favorite Allosaurus in the dinosaur halls. Highly  
recommended to anyone passing through the Big, Bad Apple.


Enjoy your weekend, and kind regards to all from The Baked Apple.


Respectfully,

Geoff N.
