Re: [meteorite-list] Where is all the Murchison???
Hi Richard all, I've been watching Murchison pretty carefully over the last 12-24mths. There has been a somewhat steep incline in price that I believe is probably mainly due to the amount of media attention it has received during that time. Personally I think it's over-priced and I would not expect the price to stay there. eBay auctions often go unsold (probably because the prices are too high) and most pieces do seem to be under 2g. But all that said, if anyone wants any Murchison stones for the current prices of $150-$200/g just let me know. There are several stones available over here from 10-80g.

[meteorite-list] Color View from Orbit Shows Mars Rover Beside Crater
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-072 Color View from Orbit Shows Mars Rover Beside Crater Jet Propulsion Laboraotry March 09, 2011 NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has nearly completed its three-month examination of a crater informally named Santa Maria, but before the rover resumes its overland trek, an orbiting camera has provided a color image of Opportunity beside Santa Maria. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter acquired the image on March 1, while Opportunity was extending its robotic arm to take close-up photos of a rock called Ruiz Garcia. From orbit, the tracks Opportunity made as it approached the crater from the west are clearly visible. Santa Maria crater is about 90 meters (295 feet) in diameter. The HiRISE image is at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA13803 . March 1 corresponded to the 2,524th Martian day, or sol, of Opportunity's work on Mars. A raw image from Opportunity's front hazard-avoidance camera from the same day, showing the arm extended to Ruiz Garcia, is at http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/f/2524/1F352255948EFFB1F5P1110L0M1.HTML .

[meteorite-list] Dawn Spacecraft Creeping Up on Vesta
http://blogs.jpl.nasa.gov/2011/03/dawn-spacecraft-creeping-up-on-vesta/ Dawn Spacecraft Creeping Up on Vesta By Marc Rayman March 9, 2011 NASA's Dawn spacecraft is a mere four months away from getting into orbit around its first target, the giant asteroid Vesta. Each month, Marc Rayman, Dawn's chief engineer, shares an update on the mission's progress. Dear Pleasant Dawnversions, Deep in the asteroid belt, Dawn continues thrusting with its ion propulsion system. The spacecraft is making excellent progress in reshaping its orbit around the sun to match that of its destination, the unexplored world Vesta, with arrival now less than five months away. We have considered before the extraordinary differences between Dawn's method of entering orbit and that of planetary missions employing conventional propulsion. This explorer will creep up on Vesta, gradually spiraling closer and closer. Because the probe and its target already are following such similar routes around the sun, Dawn is now approaching Vesta relatively slowly compared to most solar system velocities. The benefit of the more than two years of gentle ion thrusting the spacecraft has completed so far is that now it is closing in at only 0.7 kilometers per second (1600 mph). Each day of powered flight causes that speed to decrease by about 7 meters per second (16 mph) as their orbital paths become still more similar. Of course, both are hurtling around the sun much faster, traveling at more than 21 kilometers per second (47,000 mph), but for Dawn to achieve orbit around Vesta, what matters is their relative velocity. It may be tempting to think of that difference from other missions as somehow being a result of the destination being different, but that is not the case. The spiral course Dawn will take is a direct consequence of its method of propelling itself. If this spacecraft were entering orbit around any other planetary body, it would follow the same kind of flight plan. This unfamiliar kind of trajectory ensues from the long periods of thrusting (enabled by the uniquely high fuel efficiency of the ion propulsion system) with an extremely gentle force. Designing the spiral trajectories is a complex and sophisticated process. It is not sufficient simply to turn the thrust on and expect to arrive at the desired destination, any more than it is sufficient to press the accelerator pedal on your car and expect to reach your goal. You have to steer carefully (and if you don't, please don't drive near me), and so does Dawn. As the ship revolves around Vesta in the giant asteroidâs gravitational grip, it has to change the pointing of the xenon beam constantly to stay on precisely the desired winding route to the intended science orbits. Dawn will scrutinize Vesta from three different orbits, known somewhat inconveniently as survey orbit http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/journal_05_27_10.asp, high altitude mapping orbit (HAMO) http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/journal_09_27_10.asp, and low altitude mapping orbit (LAMO) http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/journal_12_30_10.asp. Upon concluding its measurements in each phase, it will resume operating its ion propulsion system, using the mission control team's instructions for pointing its thruster to fly along the planned spiral to the next orbit. Those who have navigated around the solar system, as well as others who have contemplated the nature of orbits without having practical experience, recognize that the lower the orbital altitude, the faster the orbital motion. This important principle is a consequence of gravityâs strength increasing as the distance between the massive body and the orbiting object decreases. The speed has to increase to balance the stronger gravitational pull. (For a reminder of some of the details, be sure to go here http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/journal_8_24_08.asp before you go out for your next orbital expedition.) Dawn's winding orbital path obeys the same rules. The lower the orbit, the faster and tighter the spirals, because the orbital velocity is greater. The first few coiled routes around Vesta this summer will be long and slow http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/journal_04_28_10.asp, taking days to complete. When it is at the lowest altitude, where each orbit takes only four hours, the spirals will be that much faster, so the craft will have to steer with greater agility to synchronize its ion thrusting with its rapidly changing location. In its interplanetary travels, spiraling outward from the sun to reach Vesta, each loop takes years to complete, so Dawn has not yet had to steer through any tight turns. The direction it aims the operating thruster hardly moves at all during a full week of thrusting. Pointing a thruster in the direction needed to spiral around Vesta requires turning the entire spacecraft. Each thruster is mounted on its own gimbal with only a very limited range of motion. In normal operation, the gimbal is aimed so that the

[meteorite-list] Prolific NASA Orbiter Reaches Five-Year Mark (MRO)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-073 Prolific NASA Orbiter Reaches Five-Year Mark Jet Propulsion Laboratory March 09, 2011 PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's versatile Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which began orbiting Mars five years ago tomorrow, March 10, has radically expanded our knowledge of the Red Planet and is now working overtime. The mission has provided copious information about ancient environments, ice-age-scale climate cycles and present-day changes on Mars. The orbiter observes Mars' surface, subsurface and atmosphere in unprecedented detail. The spacecraft's large solar panels and dish antenna have enabled it to transmit more data to Earth -- 131 terabits and counting, including more than 70,000 images -- than all other interplanetary missions combined. Yet many things had to go well for the mission to achieve these milestones. After a seven-month journey from Earth, the spacecraft fired its six main engines for nearly 27 minutes as it approached Mars on March 10, 2006. Mars could not capture it into orbit without this critically timed maneuver to slow the spacecraft. The orbiter's intended path took it behind Mars, out of communication, during most of the engine burn. That was tense, waiting until the spacecraft came back out from behind Mars and we had contact, recalled Dan Johnston, now the mission's deputy project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission met all its science goals in a two-year primary science phase. Two extensions, the latest beginning in 2010, have added to the bounty of science returns. The mission has illuminated three very different periods of Mars history. Its observations of the heavily cratered terrains of Mars, the oldest on the planet, show that different types of ancient watery environments formed water-related minerals. Some of these would have been more favorable for life than others. In more recent times, water appears to have cycled as a gas between polar ice deposits and lower-latitude deposits of ice and snow. Extensive layering in ice or rock probably took hundreds of thousands to millions of years to form and, like ice ages on Earth, is linked to cyclic changes in the tilt of the planet's rotation axis and the changing intensity of sunlight near the poles. The present climate is also dynamic, with volatile carbon dioxide and, just possibly, summertime liquid water modifying gullies and forming new streaks. With observations of new craters, avalanches and dust storms, the orbiter has shown a partially frozen world, but not frozen in time, as change continues today. In addition to its science observations, the mission provides support for other spacecraft as they land and operate on the surface. The orbiter's cameras captured the Phoenix Mars Lander as it parachuted to the surface in 2008 and monitored the atmosphere for dust storms that would affect Phoenix and the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter augmented NASA's Mars Odyssey in performing relay functions for these missions. JPL's Phil Varghese, project manager for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, said, The spacecraft is still in excellent health. After five years at Mars, it continues with dual capabilities for conducting science observations, monitoring the Mars environment and serving as a relay. The orbiter has examined potential landing sites for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, which will land a rover named Curiosity at one of those sites in August 2012. We are preparing to support the arrival of the Mars Science Laboratory and the rover's surface operations, Varghese said. In the meantime, we will extend the science observations into a third Martian year. One Mars year lasts nearly two Earth years. The orbiter's Mars Color Imager has produced more than four Earth years of daily global weather maps. More than 18,500 images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera have resolved features as small as a desk in target areas scattered around the planet that, combined, cover about as much ground as Alaska. More than 36,900 images from the Context Camera cover nearly two-thirds of the surface of Mars at a resolution that allows detection of features the size of large buildings. The Compact Reconnaissance Spectrometer for Mars has mapped minerals on more than three-fourths of the planet's surface. The Mars Climate Sounder has monitored atmospheric temperature and aerosols with more than 59 million soundings. The Shallow Radar has checked for underground layers in more than 8,600 swaths of ground-penetrating observations. Each Mars year is unique, and additional coverage gives us a better chance to understand the nature of changes in the atmosphere and on the surface, said JPL's Rich Zurek, project scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. We have already learned that Mars is a more dynamic and diverse planet than what we knew five years

Mike has his own site too and can post it there if he chooses, but the offer is there if he and/or Robert wish to accept it. -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 __ 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] Where is all the Murchison???
Apparently there is quiet a bit or Murchison around and available, but in sizes that are beyond the means of many budget minded collectors. No doubt why I haven't had a chance to see them before. I guess I'm a little surprised with so much apparent demand for 1 - 2 gram slices that no one seems to be cutting. I don't blame ya though. If I had individuals in these sizes, I wouldn't be too interested in cutting them up either.

Hi List, Is there any such thing as a Murchison pea? I've never seen a tiny, complete, Murchison stone in the 1-4g range.

Re: [meteorite-list] Welcome Home
Wow. I usually don't try to jump in on issues like this unless they are of a concern to me personally. Michael, I've always admired you and still do, but this was a total turn around, not only on your statement, but your wording. I've always been concerned over the Met List, at who's running it. I knows Art posts from time to time when things get bad. But now I've got to the point, who is Art? And how come you have become spokesman for the Met List? Are you Art? Or do you have carte blanche? No ill feelings intended, just want to put things in perspective.

Re: [meteorite-list] Welcome Home
Hi Michael and all, Ive been on the list for about 3.5 years now and I remember very well some of Mikes lunatic rantings, so those of you who have been on the list longer than I have should also remember (and Ive been told that it was even worse before I was on the list). But, the only thing that I was unhappy about was when you (Michael) talked about Mikes medical issues. I understand that you wanted people to know WHY Michael is the way he is, but its not your decision to talk about that. Nobody should talk about someone elses medical situation in a forum like this. I work for a medical software company and we see tons of patient information all the time. If I were to mention something about a patient, I would be fined by the government and then fired (and I dont even work for the govt). We dont have to worry about that here on the list, but it just goes to show that the govt is serious about keeping private health information PRIVATE, so we all should do the same. Ive seen you have a few lunatic rantings over the years, too, so you might want to be careful (as Eric just mentioned in his last post).

[meteorite-list] Disclosure
Hi All, I'm all in favor of Art probationally allowing Mike to rejoin the MetList to tell his story. I honestly think nothing but good can come from allowing Mike and Robert to relate their experiences in Oman so that we can at least learn some anecdotal information about the legality of searching for meteorites in that country, and the potential consequences of doing so. There is no denying that John Blennert warned Mike of the unfavorable situation in Oman (of which John would certainly know). So I, for one, am quite curious to understand the reason why Mike ultimately decided it was worth risking continued travels there. In his defense, Mike has been to Oman countless times without incident, so I can see why he might poo-poo Blennert's warnings. And if the Omani government was so focused on detaining/encarcerating Mike, how is it that they failed to do so on the many visits that occurred subsequent to John's warning? Is the customs department that incompetent? It's not like Mike was travelling under an alias. Of course, most of this is water under the bridge since Mike and Robert ~were~ ultimately detained and jailed. But now that they are safely stateside, I would love to hear (read) their side of the story.

Re: [meteorite-list] Welcome Home
I'm relatively new here, with maybe a new perspective? Seems to me all of this is relevent from the story meteorites tell us all, and then all the personalities and sometimes awkward positions of people who are involved, including the in-fighting. So far I've watched a few tussles and wonder...hmmm.all interesting, sometimes some make me cringe, some are petty, most all are worthy of the intellect I admire. I don't read everything here by a long-shot, but there is definitely a two headed thread-personality on this List ... meteorites, and then the stories that everyone is involved with.

Re: [meteorite-list] Another Odd Item on Ebay
My first impression was marcasite which tends to form spheres such as this but, it isn't known for iridescence . It can't be hematite nor magnetite.

Re: [meteorite-list] Disclosure
Robert, Fine suggestion. My posts are and have been moderated since last April so I can assure you moderated mode works. I'm sure I'm not the only one in limbo. The system is already in place so what's the harm? Bill Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 20:16:38 -0800 From: robert.d.mat...@saic.com To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Disclosure Hi All, I'm all in favor of Art probationally allowing Mike to rejoin the MetList to tell his story. I honestly think nothing but good can come from allowing Mike and Robert to relate their experiences in Oman so that we can at least learn some anecdotal information about the legality of searching for meteorites in that country, and the potential consequences of doing so. There is no denying that John Blennert warned Mike of the unfavorable situation in Oman (of which John would certainly know). So I, for one, am quite curious to understand the reason why Mike ultimately decided it was worth risking continued travels there. In his defense, Mike has been to Oman countless times without incident, so I can see why he might poo-poo Blennert's warnings. And if the Omani government was so focused on detaining/encarcerating Mike, how is it that they failed to do so on the many visits that occurred subsequent to John's warning? Is the customs department that incompetent? It's not like Mike was travelling under an alias. Of course, most of this is water under the bridge since Mike and Robert ~were~ ultimately detained and jailed. But now that they are safely stateside, I would love to hear (read) their side of the story.

[meteorite-list] Welcome home
I had a long talk with Mike today. It was pretty deep and very interesting. I don't think that he would mind me relaying that he said this experience has given him a new perspective on essentially everything.I think we will see a difference in how Mike reacts to especially the little things in life.

Re: [meteorite-list] Welcome Home
I've had some hot disagreements with Mike Farmer in the past, as have others here on the List, but I think we should back off and cut him a break here. I'm just happy that he and Robert are safe. I look forward to hearing what happened in Oman.

If not, don't you think it is pretty low to cut him so badly the day after he returns home? I am friends with both of you and wouldn't want either one of you talking like this.

Eric Wichman Escondido ; Meteorite List Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Welcome Home Jim, Gary, Eric and all, No, it is NOT a joke. There is nothing funny about This situation at all. I stated NOTHING in my post Mike has is not born Out in Mike's own public statements. (though Jim informs Me it may have been a different prescription drug he gets Out of Mexico) - hell folks, where have you been? READ THE STINKING ARCHIVES. If you all really cared about Mike's welfare you would Be trying to support him in getting professional help, get on prescribed medication and get stabilized. You are all having knee jerk reactions. Think about it. If Mike were your brother wouldn't you want to see him get proper treatment? Mike is home safe - thank God. While he was in danger I Did everything possible I could to minimize any negative impact On him. The list started yammering about it and I pointed out we Needed to remain silent lest we make matters worse for Mike and Rob. John Blennert gave the talk before the auction and we agreed It should not be telecast, as John went through a very similar situation in Oman a couple of years ago and Omani officials offered him $235,000 to get Mike back on Omani territory (so they could Incarcerate him). John TOLD Mike this upon his return and Mike Acted like John was blaming him for John's incarceration. This is ALSO NOT NEW INFORMATION - but somehow This group seems to think since Mike has been through a hard Time of late we should pretend he doesn't have a problem. Mike isn't going to listen to me because I am strait with him AND NO ONE ELSE seems to be willing to or they somehow just Don't see the self destructive behavior right in front of their face. If you all think everything Mike does does not add up to a Big problem for HIM, or, you just don't get it, or you just don't Think it is your place to confront him with his self destructive Behavior -- well, folks, I don't know what to tell you, but I can't Do that to a friend. (Yes, I am sure Mike does not consider me A friend right now - but as far as I am concerned, I am the only One who is really relating to him as a friend). Oh, ya, you can tell yourselves what I have said is not friendly. Well, what I think is not friendly is seeing a brother in trouble and Being unwilling to deal with him about it. I am dumbfounded at people's reactions - do you think that just Because he could have had his hands cut off or been in prison for Years or even put to death that that means we should all pretend He didn't put himself in that position AFTER it was clearly explained To him by John Blennert that Oman was OUT TO GET HIM? - Going to a KINGDOM you HAVE BEEN TOLD is out to get you - Self medicating with serious prescription drugs - Being a business man who regularly bursts into ranting and Raving at potential customers and co-businessmen These are all serious self destructive behaviors. So, Greg, Jim And Eric, if you really give a damn about Mike's welfare Don't just say, Hooray! You got back safe THIS TIME., help him get the help he needs. Sincerely, Michael On 3/9/11 6:28 PM, Met.
