[meteorite-list] AD: Lots of new NWAs on Ebay including big ones and bulk lots

2010-09-20 Thread dean bessey
I have listed around 60 or 70 new NWA meteorites on ebay over the few days 
including a dozen or so between one and eleven kilos.
A lot of really cheap leftover bulk lots included.
I also have a small sale running on a lot of the items.
See my ebay user id AMUNRE for first selection
Thursday I also have a bunch of larger ones ending in auction format also so 
keep a watch for those.
Sincerely
DEAN (AMUNRE on ebay)

The THEMIS investigation is led by Dr. Philip Christensen at Arizona State 
University. Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Denver, is the prime contractor

[meteorite-list] Team Restoring Mars Orbiter After Reboot (MRO)

2010-09-20 Thread Ron Baalke

Team Restoring Mars Orbiter After Reboot
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
September 17, 2010

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Mission Status Report

PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter put itself into a
precautionary standby mode after experiencing a spontaneous computer
reboot on Sept. 15. The mission's ground team has begun restoring the
spacecraft to full operations.

Initial analysis of telemetry from the orbiter indicates the safe mode
status was triggered by a reboot similar to one experienced Aug. 26,
2009. That was the most recent time that the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
put itself into safe mode. For 10 months prior to this latest reboot,
the spacecraft operated normally, making science observations and
returning data. During 2009, unplanned reboots put the spacecraft into
safe mode four times.

The orbiter has normal power, fully charged batteries and safe
temperatures. The team has increased the data-rate of communications and
is taking additional steps to resume science observations soon.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, at Mars since 2006, has met the
mission's science goals and returned more data than all other Mars
missions combined. It completed its primary science phase of operations
in November 2008, but continues to observe Mars both for science and for
support of future landed missions.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission is managed by NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

Hi, Im not sure if I sent you an email or not, but Heaven loved the meteorites. 
I had so much to catch up on after the DC trip that I just now got everything 
taken care of.
Closed out a trade with ASU for a nice amount of Orguiel, so she got a little 
30mg micro of that for her collection too.

Hope all is good, and yeah the test passed. Its tough with the plain text

[meteorite-list] grey fusion crust on a stony?

Hi List,

  A question for anyone that wouldn't mind helping me on this...Are  
there any known grey crusted stony meteorites?  I'm talking the grey  
color of lead almost.  And yes, it is a stone, not metal.

Maybe a better description of the grey color of the stony I was asking  
about would be to say it's the color of ashes.

Sorry for the extra post on this.

Hi Mike,

Yes... I've have numerous NWA stone meteorites with gray fusion crust. A 
couple of them were achondrites. Not sure what type of achondrite 
though. Do you have one?
