Hi Paul, VERY cool! However, I do know that I had NO photos in my first website and the one below has a photo of the MBC-10 AND the famous Tobin Polarascope Adaptor which came much later.

[meteorite-list] Phoenix Digs Deeper As Third Month Nears End
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/phoenix/release.php?ArticleID=1838 Digs Deeper As Third Month Nears End Jet Propulsion Laboratory August 25, 2008 TUCSON, Ariz. The next sample of Martian soil being grabbed for analysis is coming from a trench about three times deeper than any other trench NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has dug. On Tuesday, Aug. 26, the spacecraft will finish the 90 Martian days (or sols) originally planned as its primary mission and will continue into a mission extension through September, as announced by NASA in July. Phoenix landed on May 25. As we near what we originally expected to be the full length of the mission, we are all thrilled with how well the mission is going, said Phoenix Project Manger Barry Goldstein of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Phoenix's main task for Sol 90 is to scoop up a sample of soil from the bottom of a trench called Stone Soup, which is about 18 centimeters, or 7 inches deep. On a later sol, the lander's robotic arm will sprinkle soil from the sample into the third cell of the wet chemistry laboratory. This deck-mounted laboratory, part of Phoenix's Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer (MECA), has previously used two of its four soil-testing cells. In the first two cells we analyzed samples from the surface and the ice interface, and the results look similar. Our objective for Cell 3 is to use it as an exploratory cell to look at something that might be different, said JPL's Michael Hecht, lead scientist for MECA. The appeal of Stone Soup is that this deep area may collect and concentrate different kinds of materials. Stone Soup lies on the borderline, or natural trough, between two of the low, polygon-shaped hummocks that characterize the arctic plain where Phoenix landed. The trench is toward the left, or west, end of the robotic arm's work area on the north side of the lander. When digging near a polygon center, Phoenix has hit a layer of icy soil, as hard as concrete, about 5 centimeters, or 2 inches, beneath the ground surface. In the Stone Soup trench at a polygon margin, the digging has not yet hit an icy layer like that. The trough between polygons is sort of a trap where things can accumulate, Hecht said. Over a long timescale, there may even be circulation of material sinking at the margins and rising at the center. The science team had considered two finalist sites as sources for the next sample to be delivered to the wet chemistry lab. This past weekend, Stone Soup won out. We had a shootout between Stone Soup and white stuff in a trench called 'Upper Cupboard,' Hecht said. If we had been able to confirm that the white material was a salt-rich deposit, we would have analyzed that, but we were unable to confirm that with various methods. Both candidates for the sampling location offered a chance to gain more information about salt distribution in the Phoenix work area, which could be an indicator of whether or not liquid water has been present. Salt would concentrate in places that may have been wet. While proceeding toward delivery of a sample from Stone Soup into the wet chemistry laboratory, Phoenix is also using its Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer to examine a soil sample collected last week from another trench, at a depth intermediate between the surface and the hard, icy layer. The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of The University of Arizona with project management at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and development partnership at Lockheed Martin, located in 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.

[meteorite-list] NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity Climbing Out of Victoria Crater
Aug. 26, 2008 Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Guy Webster Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. 818-354-6278 [EMAIL PROTECTED] RELEASE: 08-216 NASA'S MARS ROVER OPPORTUNITY CLIMBING OUT OF VICTORIA CRATER PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Mars Exploration rover Opportunity is heading back out to the Red Planet's surrounding plains nearly a year after descending into a large Martian crater to examine exposed ancient rock layers. We've done everything we entered Victoria Crater to do and more, said Bruce Banerdt, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Banerdt is project scientist for Opportunity and its rover twin, Spirit. Having completed its job in the crater, Opportunity is now preparing to inspect loose cobbles on the plains. Some of these rocks, approximately fist-size and larger, were thrown long distances when objects hitting Mars blasted craters deeper than Victoria into the Red Planet. Opportunity has driven past scores of cobbles but examined only a few. Our experience tells us there's lots of diversity among the cobbles, said Scott McLennan of the State University of New York, Stony Brook. McLennan is a long-term planning leader for the rover science team. We want to get a better characterization of them. A statistical sampling from examining more of them will be important for understanding the geology of the area. Opportunity entered Victoria Crater on Sept. 11, 2007, after a year of scouting from the rim. Once a drivable inner slope was identified, the rover used contact instruments on its robotic arm to inspect the composition and textures of accessible layers. The rover then drove close to the base of a cliff called Cape Verde, part of the crater rim, to capture detailed images of a stack of layers 20 feet tall. The information Opportunity has returned about the layers in Victoria suggest the sediments were deposited by wind and then altered by groundwater. The patterns broadly resemble what we saw at the smaller craters Opportunity explored earlier, McLennan said. By looking deeper into the layering, we are looking farther back in time. The crater stretches approximately a half mile in diameter and is deeper than any other seen by Opportunity. Engineers are programming Opportunity to climb out of the crater at the same place it entered. A spike in electric current drawn by the rover's left front wheel last month quickly settled discussions about whether to keep trying to edge even closer to the base of Cape Verde on a steep slope. The spike resembled one seen on Spirit when that rover lost the use of its right front wheel in 2006. Opportunity's six wheels are all still working after 10 times more use than they were designed to perform, but the team took the spike in current as a reminder that one could quit. If Opportunity were driving with only five wheels, like Spirit, it probably would never get out of Victoria Crater, said JPL's Bill Nelson, a rover mission manager. We also know from experience with Spirit that if Opportunity were to lose the use of a wheel after it is out on the level ground, mobility should not be a problem. Opportunity now drives with its robotic arm out of the stowed position. A shoulder motor has degraded over the years to the point where the rover team chose not to risk having it stop working while the arm is stowed on a hook. If the motor were to stop working with the arm unstowed, the arm would remain usable. Spirit has resumed observations after surviving the harshest weeks of southern Martian winter. The rover won't move from its winter haven until the amount of solar energy available to it increases a few months from now. The rover has completed half of a full-circle color panorama from its sun-facing location on the north edge of a low plateau called Home Plate. Both rovers show signs of aging, but they are both still capable of exciting exploration and scientific discovery, said JPL's John Callas, project manager for Spirit and Opportunity. The team's plan for future months is to drive Spirit south of Home Plate to an area where the rover last year found some bright, silica-rich soil. This could be possible evidence of effects of hot water.

[meteorite-list] Dawn Journal - August 24, 2008
http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/journal_8_24_08.asp Dawn Journal Dr. Marc Rayman August 24, 2008 Dear Dawnivores, The Dawn spacecraft continues to make good progress on its adventure to unlock scientific secrets hidden deep in the main asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter. Its path to that distant realm of the solar system is now bringing it closer to the Sun, and thanks in part to all the thrusting it has accomplished with its remarkable ion propulsion system, it has recently achieved its lowest speed so far in the mission. To understand this enigmatic behavior, read on! As most of you who have read about or visited the solar system know, the asteroid belt is much farther from the Sun than Earth is. Dawn passed outside the orbit of Mars in June, but it has not yet traveled far enough from the Sun to reach asteroid Vesta, its first destination. Dwarf planet Ceres, Dawn's second target, resides still farther in the depths of space. So readers with memories that extend as far back as the previous paragraph may wonder why Dawn apparently is backtracking, now approaching the Sun. Despite the many innovations that make this project so fascinating, the Dawn team has not yet discovered how to travel backwards in time. (If it had, while writing this log, we would be able now to prevent the misspelling that occurred while writing the last log.) To see why Dawn seems to be reversing course, both heading toward the Sun and traveling more slowly now than at the beginning of its mission, we need to consider some of the principles that govern space travel. Your correspondent offered some comments on these concepts in a log for a different interplanetary mission, Deep Space 1. If not for some unexpected legal issues with certain species in spiral galaxies capable of abstract thought, we would simply reprint that material here. Instead, we shall consider some of the same ideas but with different words. The goal of this text is to provide only a gist of some of the fundamentals. In an act of selfless charity to help our hungry friends the Numerivores of Q2237+0305, this log will include more numbers than usual. It is not necessary to study them in detail; some readers may find them helpful and others may feel free to gloss over them. In any case, we can provide an absolute guarantee that by the end, with even a casual comprehension of this material, the interested reader would not find even the doctorate level examinations from the prestigious Galactic Institute of Space Travel (known to many as the prestigious Galactic Institute of Space Travel) to be difficult. The overwhelming majority of craft humans have sent into space have remained in the vicinity of Earth, accompanying that planet on its annual revolutions around the Sun. The satellites of Earth (including the moon) remain bound to it by its gravity. As fast as they seem to travel compared to residents of the planet, from a solar system perspective, their incessant circling of Earth means their paths through space are not very different from Earth's itself. Everything on the surface and in Earth orbit travels around the Sun at an average of around 30 kilometers/second (67,000 miles/hour), completing one full solar orbit every year. To undertake its interplanetary exploration and travel elsewhere in the solar system, Dawn needed to break free of Earth's grasp, and that was accomplished by the rocket that carried it to space last year. Dawn and its erstwhile home went their separate ways, and the Sun became the natural reference for the spacecraft's position and speed on its travels in deep space. Despite the enormous push the Delta II rocket delivered (with affection!) to Dawn, the spacecraft still did not have nearly enough energy to escape from the powerful Sun. So, being a responsible resident of the solar system, Dawn remains faithfully in orbit around the Sun, just as do Earth and the rest of the planets, asteroids, comets, and other members of the Sun's entourage. Whether it is for a spacecraft or moon orbiting a planet, a planet or Dawn orbiting the Sun, the Sun orbiting the Milky Way galaxy, or the Milky Way galaxy orbiting the Virgo supercluster of galaxies (home to a sizeable fraction of our readership), any orbit is the perfect balance between the inward tug of gravity and the inexorable tendency of objects to travel in a straight path. If you attach a weight to string and swing it around in a circle, the force you use to pull on the string mimics the gravitational force the Sun exerts on the bodies that orbit it. The effort you expend in keeping the weight circling serves constantly to redirect its path; if you let go of the string, the weight's natural motion would carry it away in a straight line (ignoring the effect of Earth's gravity). The force of gravity diminishes with distance, so the Sun's pull on a nearby body is greater than on a more distant one. Therefore, to remain in orbit, to balance the relentless tug of gravity, the

Dear Friends and Listees: Greetings from sunny Tucson, AZ. I am delighted to announce a new online monthly meteorite column entitled Meteorwritings. It will be presented exclusively on Dr. Hobart King's Geology.com -- one of the world's top science websites. The first installment, What are Meteorites? went live this evening. The column is aimed at a broad audience, so you meteorite experts will already be familiar with the topics and concepts covered, particularly in the early installments. As the column progresses, we will look at more advanced topics, and we do have a few treats in store. Each month the column will feature new, original photography by my design and photography assistant, Leigh Anne DelRay, and myself.

The first installment, What are Meteorites? went live this evening. The column is aimed at a broad audience, so you meteorite experts will already be familiar with the topics and concepts covered, particularly in the early installments. As the column progresses, we will look at more advanced topics, and we do have a few treats in store. Each month the column will feature new, original photography by my design and photography assistant, Leigh Anne DelRay, and myself.

Hi Geoff, This is a great way to expand interest in meteorites. People interested in geology are a natural audience to be fascinated by meteorites. I was only interested in minerals until someone let me hold a Sikhote-Alin. I was hooked instantly. I suspect (and hope) your great photos and articles will have a similar effect on many of those geology enthusiasts out there.
