Subject: [meteorite-list] Congratulations Todd Parker

Hi List,

I would like to congratulate Todd Parker on his new Arizona chondrite
discovery. I had the pleasure of hunting with Todd Parker and Larry Atkins
recently in the Arizona desert. While Larry and I were sitting on a hill
taking a water break with Brix, Larry's phone rang with a very excited Todd
on the other end. We could see him down below us, so we quickly rushed over
to see what he had found. We saw a beautiful chondrite in situ. Todd was
recording his find and preparing to take a photograph when Brix ran up and
gave the meteorite a sniff and a lick. 
Todd was the first one to see the meteorite and Brix was the first (and
only) one to lick it! : ) It is a  30-40 gram chondrite with fusion crust
and visible metal flakes on on the broken end. It looks like Lawrence may
have another meteorite to classify from Arizona. 
Congratulations Todd!

Re: [meteorite-list] Fwd: [RASC Victoria] An opportunity to support light pollution abatement

Been there done that. I did burn the T-shirt. BC is in denial on all  
kinds of pollution. The latest new bubblehead in the Premier's chair  
can't spell pollution.

[meteorite-list] Fwd: [RASC Victoria] An opportunity to support light pollution abatement

[Ed Majden]

All communities should support the use of efficient lighting.  I'm

Hello friends,

It seems like I'm always requesting votes for something! Sorry about
that, I hope you all don't mind. This time it's for something I
really care about.

I along with another graduate student here at the University of
Manitoba, Heather Matheson, have created a video as an entry for the
TD Bank "Go Green" Challenge, which is looking for ideas to make
university campuses more sustainable. In this video we are proposing
to create a "Dark Sky Campus" designation for University Campus'
analogous to "Dark Sky Preserve" designations that parks can obtained
here in Canada (see http://www.rasc.ca/lpa/darksky.shtml for more
info on that). We could win $20,000 and $100,000 for our university
to spend on green initiatives.

We have created a video proposal that is online:

http://www.tdgogreenchallenge.com/video/id/149/playid/149

There is an element of "audience participation" in this competition
as one of the prizes is based on votes. If you could take the time to
support our proposal and vote, it would be very much appreciated! And
please feel free to share with anyone else who may be interested.

Thanks for your time,
Jennifer

Hi Paul -

Perhaps the emphasis here should be on "DRY". Hoffman proposed clathrates 
with CO2 years ago. It has been know for quite a while that impacts release 
water from those clathrates; in point of fact large chaotically regular 
impacts may explain quite well the chaotically regular strata senn in deep 
cuts on Mars.


What always amazes me in every report of "watery" Mars is the emphasis on 
how Earth-like Mars is, instead of how Mars-like Mars is. The other item 
that always amazes me is that manned Mars flight enthusiasts fail to 
understand that every indication of water on Mars raises the possiblity of 
life there, and thus raises the hazard of back conatmination, and raises the 
amount of research and the time it will take to clear the back contamintaion 
hurddle, if it can be cleared at all.


Personally, I'd prefer more money being spent on investigating the cratering

[meteorite-list] Nevada Meteors WAS Re: East Coast Meteor and MN Meteor 1MAR2011

[Mike Hankey]

Count,

At least you live in a place where the meteorites can be easily found
when they fall. These East Coast Meteors are a real tease. It looks
like last night's went in the ocean.

In theory NV (or any place else in the world) should get just as many
meteors as the east coast. I just don't think there are as many people
out there to see them, compared to the densely populated east coast.

So the question is If a meteor falls in the NV desert and nobody
is there to witness it, does it still make a sound? Does it still
leave meteorites on the ground?

Thanks,

Mike

P.S. The AMS website now has a 'search by state' feature.

Here are all of the reported NV falls dating back to 2005.

http://bit.ly/hLBeo3 (this search will only show reports where the
witness was from the state of NV).

You just had one recently 12/26/2010 AMS ID: 914 , that was witnessed
by 16 people: http://bit.ly/i9fKoU

Here's an image of the plot-able witness reports:  http://i.imgur.com/Ovsjn.jpg

It looks like the flight path would have gone over central CA, which I
believe is heavily covered with allsky cameras.

If you're lucky and work hard maybe you can find a few allsky videos
or maybe even a radar return somewhere east of Elko and south of route
80.

Re: [meteorite-list] Dry Lake Beds On Mars

[cdtucson]

Greg,
"Good eye"
I had missed those tracks until you pointed them out. 
Very interesting. Do you think it was ruben too? 
Too funny.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the pictures. If you look closely you can see vehicle tracks 
and possibly a couple of monuments from previous finds.  Damn Meteorite 
hunters!: )  i bet you can find a video on Ruben's web page of this 
location. Just kidding around. Everybody have a great day.

Re: [meteorite-list] What's Hitting Earth?

[Dave Myers]

Hi John and list,

I also read a post on here a year ago, where someone said (I think) on average 
that 2 meteorites land per-square mile
every 1000 years??  Is this figure also true. It seems high to me.

Dave
