Hi Sterling,

Something else you can pass along to the met list.  Based on the
latest telescope observations, I compute a geometrical impact
point near 20.6N, 33.06E.  The shallow approach is from
azimuth 280, so the meteorites will fall tens of kilometers
west-northwest of that location.  The nearest point of
civilization to the likely meteorite fall location is the tiny
village of Station Six -- basically a railway stop and home
to 10 villagers according to this web diary:

http://www.southing.com/Templates/diary/diary_entries/sudan/diary_right_10dec.htm

Has Mike Farmer packed his bags?  ;-)  I only partly jest.  If he
needs a little extra incentive, consider this:  the minimum orbital
intersection distance (MOID) for this space rock with Mars is less
than a million miles.  In other words, could Station Six be the name
of the next Mars meteorite?  --Rob

Hello Sterling and Rob,
 
I found it quickly on an Atlas. That diary gave a big clue: Wadi Halfa, on 
the Nile, the entry point from Egypt into Sudan, and one day drive further: 
Station Six. about 150km by road and 100km (60 miles) in straight line south of 
the border. 
The fireball might have been visible from Aswan.
 
Goodnight.

Hello Rob, Sterling, and all;

Regarding the last part of your post about a Mars fall.  October 6 is just 
three days after the anniversaries of both the Chassigny (Oct. 3, 1815) and 
Zagami (Oct. 3, 1962) Martian falls. So maybe the villagers will indeed win the 
lottery!

Isn't speculation wonderful!!!

Hi All
Everyone in the USA who is considering travel to pick up the possible
newest fall might want to read this first;
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_934.html

I'm sure you can get permission to travel outside of Khartoum in a few
months or years. You could also just sneak over the border get caught
and only possibly face the death penalty!

Of course if it is a Martian

2008-10-07 Thread E.P. Grondine
Hi all - 

What will NASA do? Lie, to put it in one word. Put out tons of releases about 
asteroid impacts, while neglecting to mention comet impacts. Consider that the 
bulk of the impact hazard for the last 13,000 years or so has come from comet 
fragments, and not asteroids. And those comet fragments are as black as 
charcoal when they have finished outgassing. 

With the current systems, what are the chances of detecting the next 
Carbonaceous Chondrite of the Tunguska class before it hits? ZERO, 0, nought 
out nought, nada, zilch, or very near to it. If anyone here wants to break it 
down to the lumen, lambert, and bucket level, please do. Maybe it will get a 
little better with the next detection systems, assuming they get built.

Milani absolutely stated the right reason this particular detection and warning 
was important: no one mistook it for an explosive weapon.

[meteorite-list] Asteroid 2008 TC3 Fireball Observed from Airliner

2008-10-07 Thread Ron Baalke

http://www.spaceweather.com/

Space Weather News
October 7, 2008

ASTEROID IMPACT: Asteroid 2008 TC3 hit Earth this
morning (Oct. 7th at 0243 UT), exploding in the atmosphere over northern
Sudan like a kiloton of TNT. Most of the 3-meter-wide asteroid should
have been vaporized in the atmosphere with only small pieces reaching
the ground as meteorites. So far, no pictures of the fireball have been
submitted; the impact occured in a remote area with few (and possibly
no) onlookers capable of recording the event. Nevertheless, the asteroid
did strike Earth as predicted.

This confirming report comes from Jacob Kuiper
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], General Aviation meteorologist at the
National Weather Service in the Netherlands: Half an hour before the
predicted impact of asteroid 2008 TC3, I informed an official of
Air-France-KLM at Amsterdam airport about the possibility that crews of
their airliners in the vicinity of impact would have a chance to see a
fireball. And it was a success! I have received confirmation that a KLM
airliner, roughly 750 nautical miles southwest of the predicted
atmospheric impact position, has observed a short flash just before the
expected impact time 0246 UTC. Because of the distance it was not a very
large phenomenon, but still a confirmation that some bright meteor has
been seen in the predicted direction. Projected on an infrared
satellite-image
http://spaceweather.com/submissions/pics/j/Jacob-Kuiper-0810070300zmet7IRposplane_1223352768.jpg
of Meteosat-7 of 0300 UTC, I have indicated the position of the plane
(+) and the predicted impact area in Sudan (0).

2008 TC3 was discovered on Oct. 6th by astronomers using the Mt. Lemmon
telescope in Arizona as part of the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey for
near-Earth objects. Asteroids the size of 2008 TC3 hit Earth every few
months, but this is the first time one has been discovered before it hit.

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rovers Update: September 25 - October 3, 2008

2008-10-07 Thread Ron Baalke

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html

SPIRIT UPDATE:  Spirit and Earth Stick Together - sol 1685-1689,
September 28 - October 03, 2008:

Spirit is poised to begin making more phone calls to Earth and
engineers are preparing to contact Spirit more frequently as a result of
improving solar power input on Mars. Though Spirit's energy levels are
still low, they are improving significantly as Martian winter gradually
fades into spring. The rover will use some of the energy to let
engineers and scientists know how things are going on Mars.

Spirit stays in touch by transmitting data at UHF frequencies to NASA's
Odyssey orbiter. Odyssey sends it to Earth. On the other end of the
line, engineers send new activity plans to Spirit using X-band
transmissions from Earth that go directly to the rover's dish antenna.
More frequent communication allows greater operational flexibility as
the rover gradually returns to a normal planning schedule and prepares
to drive again in mid- to late October.

Spirit's first post-winter drive will be short, just far enough to
adjust the rover's position so its solar panels remain tilted toward the
Sun as it moves higher in the sky. The goal is to have Spirit in the
best possible position before solar conjunction -- the time of year when
the Sun passes between Mars and Earth and temporarily prohibits
communication.

Meanwhile, Spirit has been working hard to complete the full-color
Bonestell panorama of the rover's winter surroundings. After a long
hiatus caused by power limitations, Spirit resumed making measurements
of argon gas in the Martian atmosphere.

Spirit is healthy, with all subsystems performing as expected as of sol
1686 (Sept. 30, 2008). Solar-array energy increased to 262 watt-hours
(100 watt-hours is the amount of energy needed to light a 100-watt bulb
for one hour). Skies remained clear, with tau, a measure of the amount
of sunlight blocked by atmospheric dust, at 0.134. Historically, dust
levels at this time of year have been higher. Rover operators are
keeping close tabs on atmospheric dust because of its potential impact
on the rover's power state.

Sol-by-sol summary

Spirit completed the following activities:

Sol 1685 (Sept. 28, 2008): Spirit listened for communications from Earth
with the rover's low-gain antenna, checked for drift -- changes with
time -- in the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, surveyed the sky
and ground with the instrument, and measured atmospheric opacity caused
by dust (tau) with the panoramic camera. Spirit monitored dust
accumulation on the panoramic-camera mast assembly and acquired column
22, part 2, and column 24, part 2 of the so-called Bonestell panorama,
a full-color, 360-degree view of the rover's winter surroundings,
created with all 13 color filters of the panoramic camera.

Sol 1686: Spirit received new instructions from Earth at X-band
frequencies sent to the rover's high-gain antenna and spent three hours
measuring argon gas in the Martian atmosphere with the alpha-particle
X-ray spectrometer. Spirit relayed data to NASA's Odyssey orbiter to be
transmitted to Earth.

Sol 1687: Spirit measured dust-related changes in atmospheric darkness
with the panoramic camera and acquired column 23, part 2 and column 25,
part 2 of the Bonestell panorama.

Sol 1688: Spirit checked for drift in the miniature thermal emission
spectrometer, surveyed the sky and ground with the instrument, and
measured atmospheric opacity caused by dust with the panoramic camera.
Spirit acquired column 27, part 2 and column 26, part 2 of the Bonestell
panorama. The rover supplemented panoramic-camera measurements of
atmospheric dust with measurements from the navigation camera and
acquired a four-frame movie in search of clouds with the navigation camera.

Sol 1689 (Oct. 3, 2008): Plans called for Spirit to measure dust-related
changes in atmospheric darkness with the panoramic camera and acquire
column 19, part 3 and column 21, part 3 of the Bonestell panorama. The
rover was to assess atmospheric dust levels with the navigation camera
and produce a four-frame, time-lapse movie of potential clouds passing
overhead.

Odometry:

As of sol 1686 (Sept. 30, 2008), Spirit's total odometry remained at
7,528.0 meters (4.7 miles).



OPPORTUNITY UPDATE:  Opportunity Takes a Victory Lap - sol 1661-1668,
September 25-30, 2008:

A journey of 7.5 miles began with a partial victory lap around Victoria
Crater, as Opportunity headed south toward enormous Endeavour Crater.
Partway around the circuit, Opportunity passed the 7.5-mile mark of the
mission. In metric terms, the rover began a 12,000-meter, cross-country
trek by ending a similar 12,000-meter journey across uncharted terrain
and in and out of craters.

Opportunity also chalked up the second-longest drive of the mission on
sol 1663 (Sept. 27, 2008), advancing 153 meters (500 feet). Three days
later, Opportunity drove another

asked him for permission to publish his few screenshots of the event, but may 
be this camera has sort of a backlog. It is situated as far as about 700 km 
(450 mi) away from the calculated impact point in northern Sudan, so I suppose 
it must have been an even more amazing sight from the Aswan area in southern 
Egypt, closer to the impact point. May be one or the other engineer working at 
the Aswan embarkment dam can contribute another sighting report, as time goes 
by. They also may have special webcams at this site, so more clips may surface.

Any more news available? What do the orbital specialists say about the final

http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news160.html  

Impact of Asteroid 2008 TC3 Confirmed
Don Yeomans
NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program Office
October 7, 2008

Confirmation has been received that the asteroid impact fireball
occurred at the predicted time and place. The energy recorded was
estimated to be 0.9 to 1.0 kT of TNT and the time of detection was
02:45:45 on October 7 (Greenwich Standard Time). More details on this
detection will be forthcoming. An addition confirmation was apparently
reported by a KLM airliner (see: http://www.spaceweather.com/). As
reported by Peter Brown (University of Western Ontario, Canada), a
preliminary examination of infrasound stations nearest to the predicted
impact point shows that at least one station recorded the event. These
measurements are consistent with the predicted time and place of the
atmospheric impact and indicate an estimated energy of 1.1 - 2.1 kT of 
TNT.

[meteorite-list] AD - Reduced Prices on LARGE Zag Slices

2008-10-07 Thread David Kitt Deyarmin
For a limited time, I'm going to reduce the cost of any Zag Slice on my 
website that weighs more then 50 grams to $2.50 per gram


You can view the slices by clicking this:

http://home.ec.rr.com/bobadebt/Rocks/FS%20Zag.htm


All of the smaller slices are still $3 per gram

If you are interested in a whole sale lot, I will reduce the price to $2.50 
per gram for any group of slices with a minimum total weight of 200 grams


If you're interested in anything please contact me off list at bobadebt at 
ec.rr.com


Thanks
