[meteorite-list] HOLBROOK FINDS
Really nice finds, Holbrook was my first ever find too. Salute to Regine and Ruben. I was thinking those would be just about the perfect size to be hit in the head with if my fantasy was to be hit by an incoming meteorite. (which it is) Nothing bigger though. Those are just right. Count Deiro's would be lights out! Anyway way to go guys..

[meteorite-list] American Meteorite Museum and Quiz
I took a trip to northern Arizona about a week ago and visited Meteor Crater. I stopped by the American Meteorite Museum and took a few pictures, which I posted here: http://s1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa463/pas520/ Then, it was off the Meteor Crater. They've made a lot of improvements since I was last there. It's a very nice facility. Here's the quiz - sometime around 2003 a small plane crashed at the bottom of the crater but it is now gone. What happened to it?

Re: [meteorite-list] Sedimentary Martian Meteorites ( a little gorgeous Ad).
Good Morning Carl, I think, I'm very on topic. I've got the impression that you speculate, that there must be sedimentary Martian meteorites laying all around and that the only obstacle, that they are not recognized as such, would be that the researchers refuse to measure stones, which don't show properties, they know from known meteorites. Respectively that they would do so only, if they would get money for that. And that you suggest, that we have therefore to change something in the existing system, which until now had brought the stones from the soil they're slumbering on into the Meteoritical Bulletin. So I was giving you a hint, that the system was so far able to recognize meteorites as meteorites, also if they oppugn our all traditional viewing habits. Decisive for a meteorite being recognized as a meteorite is not only that, what you feel to be the only obstacle, that a lab would refuse to analyze a stone, at least as decisive is, that someone has the idea, to pick up such a stone, although it is not looking like meteorite in the field, because he thinks, despite that, it could be a meteorite. And be aware, that no one in the field has a saw, a microscope, a microprobe at hand, neither with Blaine's magic machine you'll be able to identify such a stone being from Mars. And second, after the stone is picked up, it has to survive the long chain of going through many hands, before it ends in the lab, without that any hand will throw it in the dustbin. That this obviously works, therefore I gave you 3 examples, Where about you say: They actually do look like meteorites to me and you both. For you maybe, for me they don't look at all like meteorites and I dare to guess, that 99.9% of the experts, no matter whether scientist or private expert, wouldn't have picked up these stones in the field. And the second thing is, one has to speculate about odds and probabilities, how present such sedimentary Martians are on Earth - especially if one like you wants to have hand-in changes in the system of meteoritics, that such stones could be recognized at all. And there you have to juggle with the numbers we have. Absolutely unsuspicious and unbiased, and there you will agree, are the observed falls. 1200 we have in history. No sedimentary stone was among them. But anyhow 4 Martians. Hence 0.3%. Well. Currently the Bulletins have 52,524 entries/numbers of meteoritic finds. 98 entries are Martians. 0.2% That's the score list of 196 years. Obviously it is in general devilishly difficult to find a Martian at all. (as meteorites in general are not easy to locate). Perhaps a little visualization... Herb, Stefan...forgive me, the Austrians can be sometimes somewhat idiosyncratic people. The athlete in the picture applies for the title: Austrian Giant. In the right and in the left hand, he carries a little suitcase made of concrete. Each of the suitcases weighs 130 kg. Concrete has a lower density than Martian rocks. All Martian meteorites we have identified currently on Earth during the last 200 years, have a combined weight of 100kg. So I hope that little comparison works. Martians all in all so far we have a little suitcase full so far on Earth. http://www.flickr.com/photos/32845189@N06/4721533075/ (Keep that in mind, if you get one offered or if you see some on ebay and if a couple of 100 bucks a gram seem to you to be a horrendous price. Or make a game, to keep the kids on the backseat calm: Find something, which is as rare as Martian meteorites). Let's go further. Now these 98 entries represent 56 fall events, 56 different meteorites. Consider furthermore, that science found out, that these 56 meteorites weren't hurled into space by 56 different impact events on Mars, but that the number shrinks even more, because you can subsume them to launch-pairings. Now these are igneous Martian rocks, which - there you see no problem - are recognized and identified without problem in the course all meteorites go. Now you can speculate - are sediments in the upper Martian crust prevalent or igneous rock? There I'm no expert - (I believe to remember, that sediments were observed on Mars not so often..). So all in all. We have a few spot test from the Red Planet in form of a handful Martian meteorites here on Earth. Igneous Martians we can recognize, they are found and recognized, but a find of such a Martian belongs to the quite most extraordinary rare events, which one can imagine. Now you have to ask yourself - the process of finding a stone is always the same. Even IF we would know, how a sedimentary Martian would look like, even IF a sedimentary Martian would have a wonderful black fusion crust, even IF sedimentary Martian meteorites would be nearly as frequent or abundant like igneous Martian meteorites, then it would be still an extremely hard nut to crack to find once any! And there you have to see, what that would mean for your dissatisfaction. What

Hi List, I don't know who Mr. Michael Hofmann is, but I really like his meteorite displays. I was browsing through the recently uploaded photos on the EOM, and ran across them today. I really like displaying whole stones on a natural sand desert-like surface. Now I am just waiting to see someone tackle the task of making a natural display that mimics a desert-pavement surface. I cannot find a way to link to the individual photos, but if you go to the EOM site and click on Latest Member Images and scroll down past Mirko's beautiful specimens, you'll see the thumbnails for Mr. Hofmann's displays.

Re: [meteorite-list] Breaking News - Major TX, OK, AR, MO, KS, CO, NE Green Fireball Meteor ~9:21CDT 23MAR2011
From what I've seen, this was not a major fireball. It appears to be high and bright, with a short ground path. Its light curve doesn't look much like a major fragmenter, either. If some multiple station analysis shows up, I could change my opinion. But based on the single station evidence, this does not strike me as a likely candidate to produce meteorites.

Re: [meteorite-list] American Meteorite Museum and Quiz
Hi Paul. From what I can tell the crash actually happened in 1964. Here is a report of the accident: http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=69872 I haven't noticed it on my visits, but supposedly part of the tail is still in the crater somewhere. The actual NSTB report is much more dry and succinct: http://www3.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=79450key=0 A MUCH more detailed and interesting account of the event can be found in Jim Tobin's Fragments, including pictures(!), in the September 2008 Meteorite Times http://www.meteorite-times.com/Back_Links/2008/september/Jims_Fragments.htm I would assume that the majority of the airframe was either airlifted out, or packed out in pieces.

Dirk, Not even earth quakes, tsunamis or radioactive leaks can stop you from breaking the latest meteor news -- impressive! I have just published an update on the AMS site regarding this event. http://tinyurl.com/6akxey9 The update includes a map of the plots which is linked to an interactive visual fireball log viewer. Best guess for potential landfall would be due west of Oklahoma City. Of interest, there was at least one report of a delayed boom. Keep on rockin.

Hello Rob and Listers, Hi Rob I check those two radar locations and did a scan through the reflectivity radial ranges and saw nothing that would look like the meteors flight path from smoke/debris I had also check Hastings, NE The NOAA # is if you are using the toolkit is HAS002191110 I looked at the reflectivity radial ranges and I was unable to locate anything on the maps. I also heard people saw it in CO and UT. By chance was the direction from W to E or E to W I heard both, but it seems like more people saw it go from W to E. Another thing I would like to add is NASA's all sky fireball network had a video of a meteor that also co-insides with the time with green fire ball seen over NE, TX, AR, CO, AR. If this video is also associated with the green fireball here is that data on that meteor and the video. http://fireballs.ndc.nasa.gov/ Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 eBaystore http://shop.ebay.com/photophlow/m.html [meteorite-list] TX/OK Fireball ~9:21CDT 23MAR2011Matson, Robert D.

[meteorite-list] NASA's Stardust: Good to the Last Drop
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-094 NASA's Stardust: Good to the Last Drop Jet Propulsion Laboratory March 23, 2011 On Thursday, March 24 at about 4 p.m. PDT (7 p.m. EDT), NASA's Stardust spacecraft will perform a final burn with its main engines. At first glance, the burn is something of an insignificant event. After all, the venerable spacecraft has executed 40 major flight path maneuvers since its 1999 launch, and between these main engines and the reaction control system, its rocket motors have collectively fired more than 2 million times. But the March 24 burn will be different from all others. This burn will effectively end the life of NASA's most traveled comet hunter. We call it a 'burn to depletion,' and that is pretty much what we're doing - firing our rockets until there is nothing left in the tank, said Stardust-NExT project manager Tim Larson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. It's a unique way for an interplanetary spacecraft to go out. Essentially, Stardust will be providing us useful information to the very end. Burn to depletion will answer the question about how much fuel Stardust had left in its tank. We'll take those data and compare them to what our estimates told us was left, said Allan Cheuvront, Lockheed Martin Space Systems program manager for Stardust-NExT. That will give us a better idea how valid our fuel consumption models are and make our predictions even more accurate for future missions. Fuel consumption models are necessary because no one has invented an entirely reliable fuel gauge for spacecraft. Until that day arrives, mission planners can approximate fuel usage by looking at the history of the vehicle's flight and how many times and for how long its rocket motors have fired. Stardust's burn to depletion is expected to impart valuable information, because the spacecraft has essentially been running on borrowed time -- for some time. Launched on Feb. 7, 1999, Stardust had already flown past an asteroid (Annefrank), flown past and collected particle samples from a comet (Wild 2), and returned those particles to Earth in a sample return capsule in January 2006 - and in so doing racked up 4.63 billion kilometers (2.88 billion miles) on its odometer. NASA then re-tasked the still-healthy spacecraft to perform a flyby of comet Tempel 1, a new, low-cost mission that required another five years and 1.04 billion kilometers (646 million miles). After all those milestones and all that time logged on the spacecraft, the Stardust team knew the end was near. They just didn't know exactly how close. Prior to this final burn, Stardust will point its medium-gain antenna at Earth - some 312 million kilometers (194 million miles) away. As there is no tomorrow for Stardust, the spacecraft is expected to downlink information on the burn as it happens. The command from the spacecraft computer ordering the rockets to fire will be sent for 45 minutes, but the burn is expected to last only between a couple of minutes to somewhat above 10 minutes. It is estimated the burn could accelerate the spacecraft anywhere from 2.5 to 35.2 meters per second (6 to 79 mph). What we think will happen is that when the fuel reaches a critically low level, gaseous helium will enter the thruster chambers, said Larson. The resulting thrust will be less than 10 percent of what was expected. While Stardust will continue to command its rocket engines to fire until the pre-planned firing time of 45 minutes has elapsed, the burn is essentially over. Twenty minutes after the engines run dry, the spacecraft's computer will command its transmitters off. They actively shut off their radios to preclude the remote chance that at some point down the road Stardust's transmitter could turn on and broadcast on a frequency being used by other operational spacecraft. Turning off the transmitter ensures that there will be no unintended radio interference in the future. Without fuel to power the spacecraft's attitude control system, Stardust's solar panels will not remain pointed at the sun. When this occurs, the spacecraft's batteries are expected to drain of power and deplete within hours. When we take into account all the possibilities for how long the burn could be and then the possible post-burn trajectories, we project that over the next 100 years, Stardust will not get any closer than 1.7 million miles of Earth's orbit, or within 13 million miles of Mars orbit, said Larson. That is far enough from protected targets to meet all of NASA's Planetary Protection directives. Some planetary spacecraft, like the Galileo mission to Jupiter, are intentionally sent into the planet's atmosphere to make sure it is destroyed in a controlled way. Others have their transmitters shut off or just fade away, said Larson. I think this is a fitting end for Stardust. It's going down swinging. Stardust-NExT is a low-cost mission to expand the investigation of comet Tempel 1 initiated by
[meteorite-list] 'Lost' Miller Experiment Gives Pungent Clue to Origin of Life
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/releases/2011/lost_exp.html Lost Miller Experiment Gives Pungent Clue to Origin of Life March 23, 2011 Goddard Release No. 11-23 Nancy Neal-Jones / Bill Steigerwald NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. 301-286-0039 / 5017 nancy.n.jo...@nasa.gov william.a.steigerw...@nasa.gov GREENBELT, Md. -- The origin of life may have been smelly, according to a recent, NASA-funded analysis of residue from a variant of classic experiments performed by Dr. Stanley Miller in the 1950s. One of the primary differences between this experiment and others Miller performed is the use of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas to help simulate the primordial atmosphere, said Eric Parker of the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Ga. Hydrogen sulfide gas is commonly known as the awful smell released by rotten eggs. Parker is lead author of a paper on this research appearing the week of March 21 in the on-line Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Much to our surprise, the yield of amino acids from Miller's hydrogen sulfide experiment is a lot richer than that from any other experiment he had ever conducted, said Professor Jeffrey Bada of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego, who was a graduate student of Miller's and is the corresponding author on the paper. From 1953 to 1954, Stanley Miller, then a graduate student at the University of Chicago, performed a series of experiments with colleague Harold Urey using a system of closed flasks containing water and a mixture of simple gases. At the time the gases used in the experiment (hydrogen, methane, and ammonia) were thought to be common in Earth's ancient atmosphere. The gas was zapped with an electric spark. After running the experiment for a few days, the water turned brown. When Miller analyzed the water, he found it contained amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins -- life's toolkit -- used in everything from structures like hair and nails to processes that speed up, facilitate, and regulate chemical reactions. The spark provided energy for the gas molecules to recombine into compounds such as hydrogen cyanide, aldehydes, and ketones, which rained out into the water. There these compounds further reacted in the presence of ammonia to produce amino acids. Miller's experiment showed how simple molecules could be assembled into the more complex molecules necessary for life by natural processes, like lightning in Earth's ancient atmosphere. After Miller's death in 2007, Bada discovered vials containing samples from the original experiments. In 2008, Bada and his team, which consisted of NASA and university researchers, analyzed these samples with modern equipment to see if they could discover chemicals that could not be detected with the techniques of the 1950s. The samples were produced by a variant of Miller's classic design that introduced a jet of steam to simulate conditions in the cloud from an erupting volcano. In October 2008, the team reported http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2008/volcanic_life_origin.html that they discovered 22 amino acids in the sample, 10 of which had never been found in any other experiment like this. In the new research, the team analyzed samples from another variant of the experiment performed in 1958 in which Miller used carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide gas in the mixture. It was lost for decades because, for unknown reasons, Miller never reported his analysis of the results. Stanley mentioned to several of us that he hated working with hydrogen sulfide because it smelled so bad and tended to make him sick, says Bada. Given that some of the compounds he made in the experiment smell pretty bad, this experiment may be the basis for his reluctance to deal with H2S in experiments. The team discovered that the experiment created amino acids containing sulfur, the first such synthesis from a simulated prebiotic environment, according to Parker, and the one that produced them in the greatest diversity and highest abundance. The sulfur-containing amino acids we found include significant biological ones like methionine, the product of the 'start codon' in the genetic code, which tells a cell's machinery to begin translating the design for a protein, said Dr. H. James Cleaves of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a co-author who performed some of the analyses in collaboration with scientists in the Analytical Astrobiology Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The results of this study may provide clues about the roles that primordial volcanic plumes may have played in the formation of some of Earth's first organic compounds, adds Parker. Volcanoes are a natural source of atmospheric H2S. Lightning events are often observed to coincide with volcanic eruptions. The use of H2S in this experiment, along with the other gases Miller used, combined with the
[meteorite-list] Phoenix Observes Ice and Fog Near Surface on Mars
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-03/agu-hia031711.php Public release date: 17-Mar-2011 Contact: Kathleen O'Neil kon...@agu.org 202-777-7524 American Geophysical Union AGU journal highlights -- March 17, 2011 [snip] 2. Martian weather report: ice and fog near surface A pair of cameras mounted on the back of the Phoenix Mars Lander captured how laser light, emitted by the Lander's light detection and ranging (lidar) system, was scattered by water ice in the red planet's thin atmosphere. Moores et al. used the technique over four nights in 2008 to give the first detailed profile of the ice water content in the Martian near-surface atmosphere. The authors find that the icy fog was thickest around 50 meters (164 feet) above the surface, with maximum concentration of 1.7 milligrams per cubic meter (0.02 ounces per cubic foot). They also find that the fog was not uniform but tended to decrease in thickness toward the surface. As the Martian night wears on, the surface of the planet cools below the frost point and water vapor in the atmosphere gets deposited on the ground. As the atmosphere is mixed by turbulence, more water is brought to lower altitudes, adding to the growing frost layer. Ice crystals also form in the air and precipitate to the ground from successively higher altitudes. The researchers estimate that by the time the Sun started to rise in the morning, 2.5 micrograms (0.00088 ounces) of snow and frost would have coated the surface of Mars in the northerly region around the Phoenix Lander.

The location is in perfect agreement with the terminus as it appears in the Oklahoma City All-Sky camera. (Took me a while to correctly orient myself with that image; to save others some time, the brightest star in the scene is Sirius. Other bright stars visible include Betelgeuse, Rigel, Aldebaran and Capella.) Bolide flight direction was WNW to ESE, as triangulated from the Oklahoma City Sentinel camera, and Thomas Ashcraft's Albuquerque camera.

[meteorite-list] Meteor Crater Plane Crash
Dear List, I just reread the article from 2008 in Meteorite Times and I don't have a lot of additional information to add. The actually crash information from the government reports is in the previous article from 2003 I think it was. But, as to what happened to the rest of the plane. Some was indeed removed from the crater and salvaged, but most of the remains were put down the shafts in the crater center which are fenced off now. Just the couple pieces a few feet long are all that remain. They can be found along the western edge of the crater near the bottom of the talus. As I mentioned in the article you can see them in binoculars or even in a camera with telephoto lens from the visitor center deck. And at the right time of the morning the sunlight coming over the edge of the crater rim will gleam off the fragments for a while. Makes a great photo when the bright shiny sparkle shows well.
