[meteorite-list] Cunnamulla rock at centre of dispute declared a meteorite
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/cunnamulla-rock-at-centre-of-dispute-declared-a-meteorite/story-e6frf7jx-1225921938055 AN ODD-looking rock found in a dirt paddock on an outback western Queensland property is officially a meteorite. The 27.6kg object was resting under a gidgee tree near Cunnamulla, 825km west of Brisbane last year, when it was discovered by disability pensioner Tom King. Queensland Museum curator Alex Cook has officially declared the rock a meteorite. Not too often meteorites of that size come along, it's the second largest stony meteorite found in Queensland, he said. It's heavy but the last time a meteorite of this size was found was about four years ago, a 55kg meteorite was found in Winton. A tussle broke out last year after the property's caretaker Tom King found the rock in a dirt paddock at Rywanda Plainview, 70km south of Cunnamulla. Mr King took the rock to his Cunnamulla home to use it as a doorstopper. A dispute erupted between Mr King, the property's owner Keith Wilson and the lessee Angus McLennan. The rock was kept by police until a court finally awarded ownership to Mr Wilson in June. Mr Wilson said he would not be selling the rock but is yet to decide where it will rest when he collects it from the museum later this year. It's not being sold and it's not going out of Queensland. he said. __ 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

[meteorite-list] NASA's Next Mars Rover Rolls Over Ramps (Curiosity)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-297 NASA's Next Mars Rover Rolls Over Ramps Jet Propulsion Laboratory September 13, 2010 PASADENA, Calif. -- The rover Curiosity, which NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission will place on Mars in August 2012, has been rolling over ramps in a clean room at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to test its mobility system. Curiosity uses the same type of six-wheel, rocker-bogie suspension system as previous Mars rovers, for handling uneven terrain during drives. Its wheels are half a meter (20 inches) in diameter, twice the height of the wheels on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers currently on Mars. Launch of the Mars Science Laboratory is scheduled for 2011 during the period from Nov. 25 to Dec. 18. The mission is designed to operate Curiosity on Mars for a full Martian year, which equals about two Earth years. A public lecture by Mars Science Laboratory Chief Scientist John Grotzinger, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, will take place at JPL on Thursday, Sept. 16, beginning at 7 p.m. PDT Time (10 p.m. EDT). Live video streaming, supplemented by a real-time web chat to take public questions, will air on Ustream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nasajpl . JPL, a division of Caltech, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

[meteorite-list] NASA's Hubble Harvests Distant Solar System Objects
http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/2010/pr201015.html NASA's Hubble Harvests Distant Solar System Objects Cambridge, MA - Beyond the orbit of Neptune reside countless icy rocks known as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). One of the biggest, Pluto, is classified as a dwarf planet. The region also supplies us with comets such as famous Comet Halley. Most TNOs are small and receive little sunlight, making them faint and difficult to spot. Now, astronomers using clever techniques to cull the data archives of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have added 14 new TNOs to the catalog. Their method promises to turn up hundreds more. Trans-Neptunian objects interest us because they are building blocks left over from the formation of the solar system, explained lead author Cesar Fuentes, formerly with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and now at Northern Arizona University. As TNOs slowly orbit the sun, they move against the starry background, appearing as streaks of light in time exposure photographs. The team developed software to analyze hundreds of Hubble images hunting for such streaks. After promising candidates were flagged, the images were visually examined to confirm or refute each discovery. Most TNOs are located near the ecliptic -- a line in the sky marking the plane of the solar system (since the solar system formed from a disk of material). Therefore, the team searched within 5 degrees of the ecliptic to increase their chance of success. They found 14 objects, including one binary (two TNOs orbiting each other like a miniature Pluto-Charon system). All were very faint, with most measuring magnitude 25-27 (more than 100 million times fainter than objects visible to the unaided eye). By measuring their motion across the sky, astronomers calculated an orbit and distance for each object. Combining the distance and brightness (plus an assumed albedo or reflectivity), they then estimated the size. The newfound TNOs range from 25 to 60 miles (40-100 km) across. Unlike planets, which tend to have very flat orbits (known as low inclination), some TNOs have orbits significantly tilted from the ecliptic (high inclination). The team examined the size distribution of TNOs with low- versus high-inclination orbits to gain clues about how the population has evolved over the past 4.5 billion years. Generally, smaller trans-Neptunian objects are the shattered remains of bigger TNOs. Over billions of years, these objects smack together, grinding each other down. The team found that the size distribution of TNOs with low- versus high-inclination orbits is about the same as objects get fainter and smaller. Therefore, both populations (low and high inclination) have similar collisional histories. This initial study examined only one-third of a square degree of the sky, meaning that there is much more area to survey. Hundreds of additional TNOs may lurk in the Hubble archives at higher ecliptic latitudes. Fuentes and his colleagues intend to continue their search. We have proven our ability to detect and characterize TNOs even with data intended for completely different purposes, Fuentes said. __ 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
Re: [meteorite-list] AD-Large (?) Rare Specimens-Still No Reserves!
I consider anything over 200 milligrams (1 carat) large for planetary material, some with a Total Known Weight of only 26 or 42 grams as is the case with a few pieces. A 388 milligram specimen is almost 2 carats. I don't see anybody listing 2 carat diamonds starting at just 99 cents and this material is millions of times rarer. I am not trying to mislead anybody. These are very large specimens for most collectors and will not disappear into thin air if one sneezes. I do not see anybody else listing pieces this large without protecting them with some kind of reserves. I guess it is just a matter of perspective.

Hi List, Martin Horejsi made my day when I saw a Martin Cube sitting next to his Ensisheim slice. There have been some great scale cubes offered to us meteorite collectors recently and I have bought several. My old wood cubes are not intended as competition! When I made the first wood scale cubes I said I want to make a cube that even Martin would set next to his Ensisheim. I wanted to make it look as old as the meteorite. That's how the cubes came to be called Martin Cubes. Thanks Martin for sharing a photo of your wonderful slice and for using a Martin Cube in the shot.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD-Large (?) Rare Specimens-Still No Reserves!
Hi List, As a relative late comer, I can't imagine a meteorite market without Hupe eBay auctions. They are a staple of the scene and I think many collectors may take them for granted. If I had the surplus cash at the moment, I'd be bidding up a storm on these auctions, trying to buy up all the little micros and crumbs I can get. I think many of the Meteorites 2.0 generation have cut their teeth on these auctions and it will be shame to see them go if the Hupes pull the plug on them. But it's only a matter of time. eBay keeps squeezing and squeezing it's sellers for every drop of blood they can get - afterall, CEO's need those big bonuses so they can run for public office once they run their company into the ground. What will the next Meg Whitman do if he/she can't fund their political campaign with our final value fees? I've said many times before - it's a buyer's market right now. If you have the money, spend it - you won't regret it later. The value of these specimens has nowhere to go but up.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD-Large (?) Rare Specimens-Still No Reserves!
Dear List, I appreciate all of the kind comments. I was not really offended by the size remark. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. After all, if everybody could afford complete slices of planetary material, then these would be considered small. Unfortunately, the economy dictates what collectors can really afford. I expressed my opinions yesterday about crazies and I am sure not everybody would agree with what I said. I don't expect them to. Meteorites are not a necessity for most. A collector can make it as cheap or as expensive as they want. They can simply collect images of meteorites or they can go all out. It depends on what they are after or what they can afford. Right now, a 388 milligram planetary specimen may be more than what most can afford or if you are very fortunate, could easily be perceived as a minuscule. I appreciate any specimen, large or small. My brother in law recently found his first meteorite after 8 years of intermittent searching. It may be small at less than 5 grams to some but it is larger than life to him. I couldn't be more thrilled with his find. The smile on his face could not be taken away for weeks. I could of said, wow, look at how small it is but I simply do not think that way. I have seen the largest and maybe the smallest meteorites found in Nevada. They are all great and I don't think the owners would trade them for mere planetary pieces.

[meteorite-list] NEW Ureilite Slices!! - AD
Dear List Members, I would like to offer a new ureilite. As we know ureilites are very difficult to cut and polish due to the numerous nano diamonds in the matrix and most people do not invest the money or time into offering polished slices, it is simply not cost effective. Well, I have put the investment into having this ureilite cut and polished and wish to offer collectors this rare chance to include a world-class slice at a VERY competitive rate! I was lucky enough to acquire 25% of this new ureilite and hired one of the best cutters out there to prepare this material, which was not cheap! He liked this material so much he asked for a slice for his own collection! The majority of this meteorite is in a private collection and very likely will never be made available to collectors. Submitted classification is below the list of specimens in this email. Taking decent photographs of this highly polished material was a real challenge and my images do not do the material justice. The slices are far better looking in person, displaying the wall-to-wall olivine crystals in a dazzling array which is a wonder under a microscope or 10x loupe! Please email Off-List for VERY discounted prices! First to email me, first to choose. Here is all that I have available of Dhofar 1575 Ureilite (Provisional): Dhofar 1575 Ureilite Specimens: 94.88g end cut (SOLD) 65mm x 41mm x 23mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc1.jpg 39.38g ps (SOLD) 75mm x 69mm x 2mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc2.jpg 38.44g ps 73mm x 69mm x 2.5mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc3.jpg 34.71g ps 74mm x 70mm x 2mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc4.jpg 31.23g ps 70mm x 56mm x 3mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc5.jpg 29.50g ps 70mm x 53mm x 2.5mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc6.jpg 28.31g ps 68mm x 59mm x 2mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc7.jpg 27.53g ps 69mm x 60mm x 2mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc8.jpg 27.31g ps 68mm x 65mm x 1-2mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc9.jpg 24.81g ps 70mm x 51mm x 2mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00010.jpg 23.29g ps 71mm x 48mm x 2mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00011.jpg 23.24g ps 67mm x 63mm x 1.5mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00012.jpg 122.1g cut fragment 55mm x 50mm x 27mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00013.jpg 71.7g cut fragment 49mm x 33mm x 14mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00017.jpg 65.6g cut fragment 48mm x 38mm x 17mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00015.jpg 13.5g cut fragment 40mm x 13mm x 10mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00019.jpg 12.2g cut fragment 39mm x 22mm x 10mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00020.jpg 5.4g fragment (SOLD) 25mm x 15mm x 12mm http://www.lunarrock.com/Dhofar1575/dsc00021.jpg ps - part slice Submitted classification for Dhofar 1575: Fresh, coarse grained aggregate of olivine and pigeonite (both exhibiting characteristic dark, reduced grain rims) with accessory graphite, and Ni-free iron metal along silicate grain margins.

[meteorite-list] EPOXI Mission Status - September 14, 2010
http://epoxi.umd.edu/1mission/status.shtml EPOXI Mission Status Michael A'Hearn EPOXI Principal Investigator September 14, 2010 We have now been observing the comet for about a week (we began on Sunday, 5 September). After the first day it was clear that portions of the spacecraft were getting hotter than we had predicted. The previously agreed procedure was executed to turn off the HRI, which generates a moderate amount of heat in the parts of the spacecraft near the telecommunications system. As we approach the comet, the geometry changes enough to make the instruments and the other parts of the spacecraft fit better into the shadow behind the solar panels so things will cool off and we can turn the HRI back on. Although we had planned on taking HRI images during this period, we had not scheduled any spectroscopy until the end of September and we expect to have the instrument turned back on by then. We have begun preliminary analyses of the images from the MRI and we can already see variations in the brightness that appear to be correlated with the rotational period that has been previously announced by ground-based observers (Knight et al., IAU Circular 9163), namely 16.6 hours. At this time we only take observations every 6 hours because of the heating of the spacecraft, so we do not yet have enough temporal resolution to separate how much of the variation is due to the varying cross-section of the nucleus and how much is due to activity, but it seems clear that there is some variation in activity, possibly including at least one short-duration outburst. In our images, the coma is seen to extend several tens of thousands of km (Image 1 http://epoxi.umd.edu/3gallery/Hartley2_first_light.shtml released 8 Sep; Image 2 http://epoxi.umd.edu/3gallery/20100913_103P.shtml released 14 Sept). As a point of comparison, at the time of the previously released image (5 Sept), the comet was 0.40 AU from the spacecraft but only 0.36 AU from Earth. We will be looking for any structure in the images and whether that structure varies with rotation. __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Hunters Magazine
Greg, I wanted to take moment and thank you publicly for the extremely kind words and humbling comments regarding Meteorite Hunting Collecting magazine. I truly am honored you feel this way about it. I hope my passion for this great science shines through in the full color pages of the magazine. I hope MHC is received well by everyone in this community, and that it's seen as an addition the the great content provided by METEORITE magazine for so long. Hopefully my small contribution to the meteorite community will inspire future meteorite hunters and collectors to become more involved with the recovery, study, and collection of meteorites. This is a wonderfully exciting science and hobby for many thousands of people worldwide, and has become more than an obsession for some. We have many people to thank for the magazine, and I could not have done it with their help and support. It's the support of people like you that make the magazine possible. THANK YOU!

Rare Specimens-Still No Reserves! Dear List, I appreciate all of the kind comments. I was not really offended by the size remark. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. After all, if everybody could afford complete slices of planetary material, then these would be considered small. Unfortunately, the economy dictates what collectors can really afford. I expressed my opinions yesterday about crazies and I am sure not everybody would agree with what I said. I don't expect them to. Meteorites are not a necessity for most. A collector can make it as cheap or as expensive as they want. They can simply collect images of meteorites or they can go all out. It depends on what they are after or what they can afford. Right now, a 388 milligram planetary specimen may be more than what most can afford or if you are very fortunate, could easily be perceived as a minuscule. I appreciate any specimen, large or small. My brother in law recently found his first meteorite after 8 years of intermittent searching. It may be small at less than 5 grams to some but it is larger than life to him. I couldn't be more thrilled with his find. The smile on his face could not be taken away for weeks. I could of said, wow, look at how small it is but I simply do not think that way. I have seen the largest and maybe the smallest meteorites found in Nevada. They are all great and I don't think the owners would trade them for mere planetary pieces. It is all a matter of personal perspective.

Re: [meteorite-list] Other hobbies?
G'Day Everyone Well I picked up a few interesting facts here. I have a load to get rid of. Bernd, so you're interested in kangaroos and kookaburra's? Yeah I know you spelled it differently and I'm not going to pick you up on that one ;) I also have some very early gold sovereigns minted in Australia. But let's get on track here. Other hobbies... I collect Visa, MasterCard, electricity, gas, Mortgage, insurance, bills. I just wish they didn't have my name on them =) Cheers John -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Carl 's Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 6:15 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Other hobbies?

Re: [meteorite-list] Other hobbies?
I am a serious ghost hunter for many years who has traveled around the country to some of the most haunted places in the United States as well as ghost hunted with TAPS several times! I created 2 documentary CD's on the haunted paranormal. One on EVP-Electronic Voice Phenomena and the other about a very haunted former poorhouse now called Rolling Hills located in East Bethany N.Y. I have my own paranormal website called Sci Tech Paranormal Investigations. www.scitechpi.com I also did a 2 year study of the Frank's Box (an electronic instrument that can communicate with the other side) and modified a version of the Frank's Box of which I used to create a 2 part video about this amazing electronic instrument posted on YouTube while proving by mathematics that this instrument is real and works!! The Videos can be viewed on my website at http://www.scitechpi.com/franksbox.html If you find time, check the videos out, they will totally make you think differently of the afterlife!

Re: [meteorite-list] Other hobbies?
My current collections are unopened Star Wars stuff, Pink Floyd bootlegs (audio and video), Cal Ripken Jr baseball cards (from when I was a kid) assorted rocks and minerals topped off with a collection of paper money from around the world. I also have some assorted old and unusual coins that includes 3 legged buffalo nickel and a shoebox full of old civil war currency that was my grandfathers. I have been told that some of it is really rare, but just havent ever taken the time to see what all its worth as I likely wouldnt ever sell it anyways. Aside from collecting, I enjoy video games (PS3 all the way) and pretty much anything that includes outdoor activities when time permits... keeping up with 2 kids, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a ferret takes up most my time. Hope everyone is doing good, I am off to take pictures of my new 1.39g of Orgueil...
