[meteorite-list] Circumstances of fireball associated with Salzwedel fall November 1985
Hi, Does anyone have any references, or recollection, of the circumstances of the fireball which proceeded the meteorite fall at Salzwedel on the 14th November, 1985. Direction of travel, magnitude, locations of observers - that sort of thing? Met. Bull. No. 64, Meteoritics_ 21*, 309-313 (1986) simply says, A single mass weighing 43g was found in a wood after a fireball had been seen, ref. of 1986. I'm curious to know if it could have been seen from south-east England - unlikely I know, but maybe possible?... Many thanks, -- David Entwistle __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hello David and List, I can come up with two important references: RENDTEL J. and KNÖFEL A. (1986) Meteroitenfall in Hohenlangenbeck (Sterne 62, 181-183). RENDTEL J., KNÖFEL A. and SCHARFF P. (1986) Meteoritenfall in der DDR (Astronomie und Raumfahrt 24, 98-99). As André is a member of both the German forum and the U.S. MetList, he will surely read your inquiry and be able and willing to provide useful information on the Salzwedel LL6 chondrite fall!

Re: [meteorite-list] Contest #2 - Free Rare Earth Magnets and Meteorite
Hi Listees! There is no winner yet for the last trivia contest. I received several replies and some correctly guessed one of the four meteorites. So, here are some clues : Question #1 - what H4 chondrite was accidentally found while searching for Libyan Desert Glass? #1 is an Egyptian meteorite Question #2 - This meteorite is one of the rarest types and hails from a nation with only a handful of meteorite finds/falls. It was considered similar to an unusual Australian meteorite. Name this meteorite. #2 is a type meteorite Question #3 - Which tiny L6 chondrite has a connection with one of the great personalities of meteoritics? If not for this connection, this very small and obscure OC would be without trivia value. #3 is a Nininger find Bonus Question - This stubborn meteorite also has a connection to one of the great minds of meteoritics. What meteorite is it? #4 is also a Nininger find Good luck! MikeG http://www.galactic-stone.com On 7/13/10, Galactic Stone Ironworks meteoritem...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings Listees! My previous contest was too easy - I received a correct answer in less than 30 minutes. And I received several guesses that correctly named 1 or 2 of the 3 meteorites.

These are going to be simple questions with no tricks, but they are going to be more difficult to answer. Question #1 - what H4 chondrite was accidentally found while searching for Libyan Desert Glass? The first person to correct answer all 3 questions gets a rare earth magnet and meteorite.

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-233 Curiosity Spins Its Wheels Jet Propulsion Laboratory July 13, 2010 The wheels that will touch down on Mars in 2012 are several rotations closer to spinning on the rocky trails of Mars. This video clip http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/index.cfm?id=910 shows engineers in the JPL clean room where the rover is being assembled as they put all six wheels into motion for the first time. Engineers raised the rover just as a car mechanic would hoist a car to check the wheels, and started the engine to get the wheels rotating. The wheel mobility system has 10 motors in all-four for steering the rover and six for driving. During this test, all 10 motors ran in every direction. Each wheel spun forward and backwards. Next up for Curiosity is a series of tune-ups to prep the rover for driving. Learn more about Curiosity at: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/ .

[meteorite-list] Answers - Contest #2 - Free Rare Earth Magnets and Meteorite
Hi List! I received a TON of replies to this latest contest and nobody has guessed more than one correctly. But, I may have been too vague in my clues and it might be impossible to reasonably guess the correct meteorites. My first contest was solved quickly and this second one might never be solved, so I am going to post the answers. Question #1 - what H4 chondrite was accidentally found while searching for Libyan Desert Glass? Answer - Abu Moharek. As Jason Utas pointed out, this question was fairly vague and many meteorites could qualify as the correct answer. I selected Abu Moharek based on the write-up in Grady's CoM which said the meteorite was found while searching for LDG. Question #2 - This meteorite is one of the rarest types and hails from a nation with only a handful of meteorite finds/falls. It was considered similar to an unusual Australian meteorite. Name this meteorite. Answer - Rumuruti, which fell in Kenya. One of only four meteorites from Kenya. Rumuruti was considered similar to the Carlisle Lakes R3.8 meteorite which was found in Australia in 1977. Question #3 - Which tiny L6 chondrite has a connection with one of the great personalities of meteoritics? If not for this connection, this very small and obscure OC would be without trivia value. Answer - Lost Lake. This tiny L6 chondrite, found by Nininger, weighs a mere 11 grams. This question may have been vague as well. I'm not sure, but it is possible that Nininger found more than one small/tiny L6. Bonus Question - This stubborn meteorite also has a connection to one of the great minds of meteoritics. What meteorite is it? Answer - El Burro. It is an iron IIAB found in Mexico by Nininger in 1939. This one was simply a play on words. El Burro is Spanish for an animal with a reputation for stubborn behavior. I want to thank everyone who took the time to cipher out this contest. Next time, I will try to find a suitable middle-ground between questions that are too easy and ones that are impossibly vague.

Re: [meteorite-list] Curiosity Spins Its Wheels (MSL)
That would almost qualify as a monster rover LOL!! Stuart McDaniel Lawndale, NC Secretary, Cleve. Co.

This video clip http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/index.cfm?id=910 shows engineers in the JPL clean room where the rover is being assembled as they put all six wheels into motion for the first time. Engineers raised the rover just as a car mechanic would hoist a car to check the wheels, and started the engine to get the wheels rotating. The wheel mobility system has 10 motors in all-four for steering the rover and six for driving. During this test, all 10 motors ran in every direction. Each wheel spun forward and backwards. Next up for Curiosity is a series of tune-ups to prep the rover for driving. Learn more about Curiosity at: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/ .

Re: [meteorite-list] Circumstances of fireball associatedwith Salzwedel fall November 1985
Hello David and List, the fireball, that was observed with the Salzwedel meteorite fall, was catched with a meteor camera of the European Network. Unfortunately, the bolide was registered only by one camera station (since the others had poor weather). So, it was not pos- sible to reduce the fireball trajectory precisely (like in the more recent cases of the Neuschwanstein and Jesenice meteorite falls).

(1986) Meteroitenfall in Hohenlangenbeck (Sterne 62, 181-183). RENDTEL J., KNÖFEL A. and SCHARFF P. (1986) Meteoritenfall in der DDR (Astronomie und Raumfahrt 24, 98-99). As André is a member of both the German forum and the U.S. MetList, he will surely read your inquiry and be able and willing to provide useful information on the Salzwedel LL6 chondrite fall! Best wishes from scalding hot Germany, Bernd Bernd, Many thanks - I'll try and track those two references down. I see that the fireball associated with the Salzwedel fall also gets a brief mention in: The “European Fireball Network”: Current status and future prospects http://www.xs4all.nl/~dmsweb/articles/Meteoritics-European-Fireball-Netw ork-Oberst.pdf Best wishes, -- David Entwistle __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
