[meteorite-list] Ad - 56 Auctions ending, all started at 99 cents!
Dear List Members, Just a quick note to let you know I have 56 auctions ending tonight instead of in the afternoon. All were started at just 99 cents with no reserve. There are many great pieces listed, with some still no bid. I figured I would try evenings for a while to see what happens. I will be listing different pieces from old stock as I run out of other items so there will be material that has not been available for a long time so you may want to check these auctions out. Link to all auctions: http://shop.ebay.com/raremeteorites!/m.html Thank you for looking and if you are bidding, good luck.

[meteorite-list] Good News From Tucson
In the last week there have been reports of 2 significant fireballs seen from Tucson. The first was on 2011-01-08 00:10:00 MST. The second was last night at 2011-01-11 01:20:00 and was caught on an allsky camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ1roeanT-w The one from 2011-01-08 was probably also caught on sky cameras, so if any of you folks know some of the sky cam guys around there, you should ask them. There are also probably more all sky cameras that caught last night's / this morning's event as well. __ 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] AD(?) - Sikhote-Alin in tree
Hello, Since Michael Blood mentionned Sikhote-Alins embedded in trees in his latest Market Trends article, and warned everybody against them. And since I have received a few questions about the one I aquired a few months ago, let me try to set the record straight: First, here are 2 pictures, the whole thing, and a close-up: _http://www.impactika.com/images/satree.jpg_ (http://www.impactika.com/images/satree.jpg) _http://www.impactika.com/images/satree2.jpg_ (http://www.impactika.com/images/satree2.jpg) It is much bigger than any I have seen before, and the Sikhote-Alin is truly inside the tree. And a member who happens to be an hoticulturist looked at the pictures and wrote: Looks pretty real to me Anne! It probably impailed itself into the tree and then the tree grew around it, which explains the bark around it. (Thank you Craig!) Also I counted the rings, not easy, but there are at least 45. And I trust the Russian dealer I bought it from. So, yes I believe that it is the real/authentic deal, not a scam. And if you want to have a better look at it, it will be in my room in Tucson (Hotel Tucson City Center, Formerly InnSuites, Room 322). Speaking of Sikhote-Alin, you will also see there two Sikhote-Alins in as found condition that I obtained from the Vernadsky Institute. Yes, with all the paperwork! See you all there very soon.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD(?) - Sikhote-Alin in tree
Hi, While I am not challenging the integrity of Anne's specimen, there is something I should share: about a decade ago I was informed by an unimpeachable source as to the existence of what is basically a nursery outside of Vladivostok where SAs have been wedged into the knots and the forked limbs of a rapidly growing specie of tree for later harvest. I was informed that branches are frequently bound around the meteorite to assist in the embedment. I saw one such example and it was...impressive. Little scary, right? In an effort that provides a faster turnaround, I was recently informed lightning rods are being inserted into strategic locations in Saharan sands in the effort to produce and harvest flared saharite---the beautifully flanged Saharan fulgurites. Certainly less scary as there is no effort to deceive. Clever, actually---and yet bothersome as well. d, On Jan 11, 2011, at 8:23 PM, impact...@aol.com wrote: Hello, Since Michael Blood mentionned Sikhote-Alins embedded in trees in his latest Market Trends article, and warned everybody against them.

Re: [meteorite-list] NASA's Kepler Mission Discovers Its First RockyPlanet
Larry, and interested Listees, Thank you for the word straight from the AAS horse's mouth! For those interested, the Kepler-10 star is a spectral type G star, with a mass of 0.895 ± 0.6 solar masses, a radius of 1.056 ± 0.021 times the Sun's radius, a temperature of 5627 ± 44 K. The metallicity of [Fe/H] is ?0.15 ± 0.04. It's an old Population II star at 11.9 ± 4.5 billion years old. That's really old. the star it orbits (and thus the star system) is iron poor relative to the Sun... With a metallicity of -0.15, I make that out as 10^-0.15 = 0.708 of the Fe/H ratio of our Sun. I wouldn't call that so iron-poor as to be below the iron poverty line. For a star with 90% of the mass of the Sun, it has more than enough iron to whip up a few planets. That star may have had to dig deeper into its pockets to create an iron planet, but I think it could have it. Of course, I will admit to a certain fondness for an iron planet since I predicted them back during the IAU Planet Fuss. There are only four things you can make a planet out of: iron, rock, low-weight volatiles (gas) and high weight volatiles (ice). And we have a sample of all the possible planetary types except the solid-iron-ball planet. And... if you're really feeing fanciful, the surface temperature of Kepler 10b is about 1600 C., or hot enough to melt gold. How about a solid iron planet with 12 billion-year-old impact basins and long wrinkle-ridges of mountain ranges that are lapped by vast and rolling oceans of molten gold, with the mountainous tides of the close star washing the gold seas over the landscape? Now, that's an alien planet! Although I'll grant you an ocean of molten aluminum is more likely (but not as picturesque), or a blend of many heavy metals. It's worth mentioning that there is another Kepler candidate around this star. It has not yet been confirmed. 10c is planet orbiting at 0.24 AU with a period of 45.3 days. It has a poorly constrained mass (less than 20 Earth masses) and a diameter of about 5000 km. We need to get the seismic data from the star sorted out to get a mass figure. I suspect that there are more planetary signatures to be found from ground- based observations. Such an interesting universe! Sterling K.

Geoff Marcy gave an invited talk this evening at the meeting I am at (American Astronomical Society). The density of the new planet is 8.8 +/_ 2.5 g/cc (iron meteorites are 7-8). The large uncertainty (not bad given the size of the object) implies that the planet can be anywhere from a more compressed Earth (similar composition, but denser due to greater mass) to an object made up of 75% iron (closer to Mercury in composition). I find that interesting given that the star it orbits (and thus the star system) is iron poor relative to the Sun. There is something new every day! Larry This is the top item on a list of Kepler hits waiting to be verified by ground-based telescopes. The list is roughly 700 hits long and we can expect a minimum of 500 to be confirmed. There are more hits in the data being teased out, so we can expect a flood of planets to be slowly confirmed and dribbled out. Planet-O-Rama! Sterling K.
