By Marc Kaufman Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, November 6, 2010; 8:20 PM The scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence went global this weekend as observatories in 13 nations on five continents trained their telescopes on several promising star systems. This Story a.. Observatories on 5 continents to scan skies for extraterrestrial life b.. What message would you send to extraterrestrials? c.. A global search for extraterrestrial intelligence While they don't expect their one-day joint effort will find the kind of intentionally produced signal from afar that enthusiasts have been seeking for decades, participants say the undertaking illustrates just how far the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, has come. Frank Drake made the world's first such observations at the Green Bank radio telescope in West Virginia 50 years ago, listening on a single-channel receiver that took in radio waves one frequency at a time. Today's technology allows scientists to receive radio signals at millions of different frequencies per minute, in addition to searching for laser-like bursts of light communication using optical telescopes. The international star-viewing extravaganza, the first of its kind, comes at a time of fast-paced discovery in the science of exoplanets, bodies that orbit suns beyond our solar system. Last month alone brought the announcement of the first Earth-sized planet found that appeared to be potentially habitable, as well as a study from top scientists in the field which concluded that the number of Earth-sized planets in the Milky Way alone could be counted in the tens of billions. Suddenly, the prospects for finding planets that might have complex life and environments to support it appear to have brightened. Scientists well in the future may still conclude Earth is the only planet that harbors life, but discoveries in the last few years seem to increase the odds that we are not alone after all. This is a real coming of age for exoplanets and for SETI, said Drake, who remains active in the field and whose founding of the science of SETI five decades ago was being commemorated as well over the weekend. It shows SETI has gone truly international, and it's happening when our knowledge about planets beyond Earth is just exploding, he said. We made predictions based on weak evidence 50 years ago and now a lot of that is, very satisfyingly, getting hard scientific support. Practical matter Doug Vakoch, a SETI Institute scientist who helped organize the effort, said the coordinated observing is probably most important for its practical side. What this weekend really does is begin the process of making it possible to track a possible SETI signal around the globe, he said. If a signal is detected, it has to be confirmed and followed, and now we're setting up a network to do that. The participating observatories are in Italy, India, Argentina, Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Sweden, the Netherlands, and several in the United States and Japan.

[meteorite-list] Catalogue cards..
Hello Collectors! I would like to print out some 5X8 cards to make a catalogue of my personal collection. Question is, how do some of you reference, label or otherwise keep track of your collection. I had thought making an information card with pertinent information and room on one side to print a wallet size photo, all done on matte photo paper. What info do you include and do you have a basic form you like to follow? Ideas? Thanks!!

First meteorite I got is Abee so it is 001 numerically Abee would be 0101-1 alphabetically Second Abee would be 001A 0101-2 Thin section is 001TS 0101TS Then on same line is description and weight of specimen in grams or mg. Then Source is next line. Then new line is cost in US$ and date item acquired on same line: (line space) Notes: (additional notes on specimen with references etc.) These can run several paragraphs.

Chris wrote: I put mine on my computer alphabetically. Hi Chris, Dennis, and List, Just like Chris, I put my meteorites in my computer databases alphabetically: Name, type, weight, dimensions, description [which includes shock and weathering degrees, total known weight descriptive details (slice, part slice, thin section, personal descriptive notes, special features, Met.Bull. info, etc.), provenance/source], price (in my case Euro currency). Here's an example: Allende (01)*, CV3.2, 161.3 gr, 6.7x4.7x3.7 cm, individual with 50 % crust and numerous small chondrules protruding through the matrix and coated with a thin layer of secondary fusion crust. Purchased from...** Belongs to the oxidized subgroup: high magnetite/metal ratio in its chondrules and high Ni content of its metal in chondrules and inclusions. The dominant sulfide phase is pentlandite. Price: ...** * (01) = no. 1 of 10 Allende specimens in my collection ** Source and price omitted in this post for obvious reasons. Of course, I also take pictures of my meteorites and my thin sections and add pertinent info (see: online Encyclopedia of Meteorites for some examples). A selection of the above-mentioned details is also to be found on the labels that I glue onto the dividers of my collection boxes. Here's a thin section example (database entry): Gold Basin-d (16a), L4-6; br., thin section d from one of ...'s and ...'s finds. Gift from .. Forsteritic chondrule measures 1.8 x 1.7 mm. Polysomatic chondrule with several sets of parallel olivine bars displays triangular orientation and measures 2.6 x 2.0 mm. A large elongated POP aggregate consists of abundant small crystals and measures approximately 3.4 x 2.0 mm. Large vivid purplish blue olivine crystal (0.8 x 0.7 mm) is in direct contact with an orange-yellow pyroxene crystal (0.7 x 0.5 mm). And, again, a photo (or photos) also exist.

[meteorite-list] Flight of the Comet (Hartley 2)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-375 Flight of the Comet Jet Propulsion Laboratory November 05, 2010 This video clip http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/videos/epoxi/20101105/epoxi20101105.mov was compiled from images taken by NASA's EPOXI mission spacecraft during its flyby of comet Hartley 2 on Nov. 4, 2010. During the encounter, the spacecraft and comet whisked past each other at a speed of 12.3 kilometers per second (27,560 miles per hour). The spacecraft came within about 700 kilometers (435 miles) of the comet's nucleus at the time of closest approach. While future generations should have the opportunity to truly explore comets, this flyby gives us an excellent preview of what they will get to enjoy, said EPOXI principal investigator Michael A'Hearn of the University of Maryland, College Park. Hartley 2 exceeded all our expectations in not only scientific value but in its stark majestic beauty. The video clip of the flyby is comprised of 40 frames taken from the spacecraft's Medium-Resolution Instrument during the encounter. The first image was taken at about 37 minutes before the time of closest approach at a distance of about 27,350 kilometers (17,000 miles). The last image was taken 30 minutes after closest approach at a distance of 22,200 kilometers (13,800 miles). The spacecraft was able to image nearly 50 percent of the comet's illuminated surface in detail. The EPOXI mission's flyby of comet Hartley 2 was only the fifth time in history that a comet nucleus has been imaged, and the first time in history that two comets have been imaged with the same instruments and same spatial resolution. EPOXI is an extended mission that utilizes the already in flight Deep Impact spacecraft to explore distinct celestial targets of opportunity. The name EPOXI itself is a combination of the names for the two extended mission components: the extrasolar planet observations, called Extrasolar Planet Observations and Characterization (EPOCh), and the flyby of comet Hartley 2, called the Deep Impact Extended Investigation (DIXI). The spacecraft will continue to be referred to as Deep Impact. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the EPOXI mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The University of Maryland, College Park, is home to the mission's principal investigator, Michael A'Hearn. Drake Deming of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., is the science lead for the mission's extrasolar planet observations. The spacecraft was built for NASA by Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. For more information about EPOXI visit http://epoxi.umd.edu/.
