Re: [meteorite-list] ndrali,chad meteorite
Dear Steve, I have acquired a piece of Ndrali at Liege show (Belgium) in November 2007, from Vincent Jacques (B). I haven't heard further about this meteorite since. It is apparently not (yet ?) in the Met. Bull. database. Here is, for everyone's best appreciation, its description as figuring in my collection catalog: - NDRALI (Chad, H3.5-5/6, S2-6, W0/1), found in 2006, tkw: 1...@8795 g. Description: 12.32 g full slice black crust around, 55x37x2 mm. The (cut and polished) section shows rounded tan clasts (3 to 25 mm, L3.7 type ?) embedded within a bleck (melt ?) matrix. Full of veins and metal spots. Very attractive pattern. I also would be glad to learn more about that find. (I haven't browsed through Google yet). I can just confirm it is a beautiful meteorite and, even if of questionable origin (at the worst it could well be some unknown NWA), its quality-to-price ratio is excellent and the acquisition risk very minor. The fact that it is documented on Google (same data as on my own label) is a good point. Happy hunting, Zelimir A 18:38 15/02/2009 -0800, steve arnold a écrit : Good evening list.I just came upon a really interesting meteorite.It is called NDRALI.It was found in 2005 in CHAD.On the african continent.The tkw is 8 kilo's and the mass before cutting is an absolute thumbprinting master piece.You can find it by googeling ndrali.It is classified as an H3.8-5/6.Lots of metal but with alot of breccia islands spread throughout the matrix.It kind of reminds me of the bison,kansas meteorite.I just saw a 19 gram slice on ebay and bought,but on meteorites.be website he has alot of pieces for sale.A very nice looking meteorite.Has anyone else seen this new beauty?

The NEAR project is suppose to track and report on any object that size that may strike earth. Also the satellite collision could easily produce debris that would re-enter almost anywhere or anytime (but maybe not in any direction). Take two car sized objects smashing together at 11 km/s.

They show any meteorites would have landed about 5 kilometers SE of Lake Whitney. Although the altitude differences cause a large spread over the possible impact zone. The Fort Worth Radar (which I can see from my house) would have imaged the one on the right first and the one on the left second. The Granger radar would have imaged the lower altitude first and the higher altitude second, so yes it would have been a reflection off an Ionization trail.

In the police dash cam from plano it appears to be going north to south in a more vertical direction and very high in the sky. Reports from Denton also put it very high in the sky (still confused about how this could be). The Austin video was suppose to be taken looking north giving a fall area around Marble Falls. So it must have been taken NE or ENE to give the low trajectory and east to west appearance. There is no way an object 9,000 feet off the ground can be seen from 120 miles away, so it must have been over Hearn area from the Austin video.

Hi Dirk: Thanks for forwarding this post to us. When I see the CSS and Spacewatch people, I will see if I can get an estimate for how much it would cost to see everything down to 1 to 2 meters heading toward Earth (the detection of the Sudan event was lucky and the person who discovered it did not even know its importance when he went to bed that night).

Re: [meteorite-list] Fw: [Latest Worldwide Meteor/Meteorite News]Closing in on the Texas Meteorite St...
Hi Dr. Tanuki, Thought I'd chime in on the asteroid detection comments you forwarded to the List (from Pat Branch?) You probably know much of this already, but obviously Pat does not. With the current network of professional and amateur telescopes, finding 1-2 meter asteroids at lunar distances is largely a case of luck. Remember that any given time around a third of the celestial sphere is unavailable for imaging of anything but the largest (brightest) objects due to solar exclusion angle and poor phase angle, so professional survey instruments don't waste their valuable time searching there. So missing an incoming asteroid of almost any size (much less a small one) coming from a direction with a solar elongation less than 70 degrees (as was the case with Sunday's Texas bolide) is pretty much a certainty. The only time under-5-meter NEOs are found is when they are close to opposition, and even then it's a matter of timing luck since the object is only going to be near enough to be detected for a day or two.

[meteorite-list] Meteor Flies Across Texas Sky
http://www.kvue.com/news/green/stories/021609kvue-space_rock-mw.228359b7.html Meteor flies across Texas sky By SHELTON GREEN KVUE News February 16, 2009 It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it was actually a meteor hurling toward Earth which caused so many 9-1-1 calls to the Williamson County Sheriff's Department that deputies sent out a helicopter to look for debris from a crashed plane. Sunday morning around 11, dozens of central Texans saw a bright object speeding towards the ground in the north part of the sky. The first official reports said the ball of fire may have been debris from two satellites which could have collided high above earth. On Monday, the F.A.A. reported that the flaming object was no space debris, instead it was a meteor which a north Texas scientist now believes may have been the size of a pick-up hurling itself toward Earth at 15,000 miles an hour. It was like a giant ball of fire that looks like it was falling from the sky and it just disappeared into the horizon, said one caller to Austin's 9-1-1. Ann Molineux, one of the curators at the Texas Memorial Museum specializing in meteorites told KVUE that Texas has two or three meteors hitting the ground becoming meteorites every 10 years, and those are the ones that we can see. It contains a lot of information about the very early formation of this particular planet and also our own solar system, says Molineux. The vast majority of meteors heading toward earth are believed to come from the Asteroid Belt located between Mars and Saturn. Some are fragments of infant planets. Most of the space rocks burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. The few reaching the ground are known to contain a wide variety of different elements, everything from iron to nickle, gems, gasses, even water. Meteorites help us learn, they put us in our place in a way and make us realize that there's a lot that we don't yet know about how our own solar system was formed and about how the whole universe was formed, Molineux says. A scientist at the University of North Texas told the Associated Press that if Sunday's meteor did survive once it hit the ground that it went from the size of a pick-up to the size of a fist. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Nuclear Blasts Proposed for Warding Off Menacing Asteroids
http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_11717387?nclick_check=1 Nuclear blasts proposed for warding off menacing asteroids By Suzanne Bohan Contra Costa Times February 17, 2009 After a 200-foot-wide meteorite sped toward the ground near the Tunguska River in 1908, it unleashed an explosion in the remote Russian region 500 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The blast, called the Tunguska Event, was detected in London by monitoring equipment, and it leveled millions of trees over an 830-square-mile area. Had the meteorite hit a populated area such as London, the result would have been a catastrophe. It's that rare but plausible scenario of a large meteorite striking an increasingly crowded Earth that has a network of scientists, including David Dearborn of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, devising strategies to monitor and then thwart these celestial menaces. Dearborn, a research physicist, spoke at three free seminars Saturday in Livermore, describing his strategy for using nuclear blasts to prevent devastating meteorite strikes on Earth. Throughout the ages, asteroids circling the sun have intersected Earth's orbit and entered the atmosphere. Most of them are so small they quickly burn up in a blaze, giving us a brief glimpse of their final moments, which we call shooting stars. But about every 500 to 1,500 years, Dearborn said, larger ones the size of the Tunguska meteorite reach Earth. And every year, smaller ones carrying a lesser but still potent punch get through, although most hit the ocean or remote terrestrial regions. It's not uncommon, he said. And sometimes they do hit populated areas, Dearborn added. Cars have actually been hit by meteorites. When they hit, these cosmic bodies leave impact craters or can create tsunamis if they land in the ocean. There are about 170 known impact craters, including the 120-mile-diameter Chicxulub crater on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, and many thousands that either eroded away or remain undetected on land or the ocean floor. The huge meteorite creating the Chicxulub crater struck 65 million years ago, and scientists believe it brought about the extinction of the dinosaurs, along with three-quarters of life on Earth, by radically altering the atmosphere by kicking up clouds of dust and sulfur gases. An event that size is expected every 50 million to 100 million years, the NASA stated. Hundreds of thousands of asteroids form a belt that circles the sun from Mars to Jupiter, and they range in size from less than a mile in diameter to nearly 500 miles across. In the 1990s, scientists started paying more attention to the dangers posed by this asteroid belt, Dearborn said. Now about 4,500 of them are deemed near-Earth objects that are likely to cross Earth's path at some point, or get dangerously close. Dearborn proposes sending spacecraft bearing nuclear explosives to an asteroid identified as a threat by a NASA program called Space Guard. The program is tasked with tracking near-Earth asteroids larger than 1 kilometer. Congress asked NASA to create the program in 2005. The nuclear blasts could change the speed of the asteroid enough to prevent it from slamming into Earth, much like slowing down or speeding up a car to stop it from striking another object. Nuclear material has the advantage of packing far more energy into it per ton than any comparable explosive material â a key consideration on weight-conscious space missions, Dearborn said. Detractors of this approach worry about the spread of radioactive material in space with such a system, but Dearborn said it would be detonated so far out that minuscule amounts - far less than that found naturally on Earth - would reach the atmosphere. Others are leery of former weapons being used in the neutral realm of outer space. NASA, however, in a 2007 report described the use of nuclear blasts as the best approach for handling threatening asteroids. Other strategies under consideration include using a gravity tracker, which could slightly alter an asteroid's trajectory by exerting on it the gravitational pull of nearby spacecraft, although Dearborn said that approach is marred by the enormous fuel requirements of such spacecraft. Dearborn, however, pointed out that with the Space Guard program, there's ample time to prepare for a threatening asteroid or comet, since they can be detected decades in advance. We'll have time to think about all sorts of things, Dearborn said. What's most critical, he said, is to maintain the monitoring system. With the warning, you have options.
