Re: [meteorite-list] Very Interesting Photo- Tektite Related
Hi Interesting, but I don't think this supports any tektite formation theories. Tektites were either plastically deformed when proximal, spalled when medial or ablated and then often spalled when distal. Rain drops are, however, very informative about proximal tektites, which basically follow the same formation method with two big difference: Tektites cool and 'freeze' in transient morphologies and the tektite 'liquid' is of different viscosity (continually becoming more viscous as temperature drops). These transient tektite morphologies comprise discs and teardrops. Rain drops are spherical - when larger they become concavo-convex discs and then cascade into smaller spheres. If only the early tektite researchers had studied proximal tektites and not distal forms - their conclusions on the aerodynamics would have to be that tektites either formed on the Earth or that the moon has a significant atmosphere (or that tektites arrived from the moon in a huge molten blob which was disrupted during re-entry - but that's getting desperate). Ice cubes give an insight to tektite formation - they cool from the outside-in thus giving a radial pattern internally. Tektites also cool from the outside-in and have a radial internal structure with bubble complexes often trapped in the centre. Hail stones grow from the inside out and so have a concentric structure unlike tektites. These hailstones pictured are weird - they look like hailstones that have had icicles grow on them. They form in a totally different way to tektites, but interesting nonetheless. Tektites do not grow - they distort, spall (explosively fragment and lose mass) or ablate (lose mass by material melting and flowing from the specimen) during re-entry. Found an interesting paper on these lobed hailstones here: http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/1520-0469%281970%29027%3C0667%3ALSOH%3E2.0.CO%3B2 Regards, Aubrey www.tektites.co.uk --- On Thu, 24/3/11, Mike Groetz mpg4...@gmail.com wrote: From: Mike Groetz mpg4...@gmail.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Very Interesting Photo- Tektite Related To: Meteorite List meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Thursday, 24 March, 2011, 12:17 List- Check out this ice hail photo.

[meteorite-list] NASA's Venerable Comet Hunter Wraps Up Mission (Stardust)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-095 NASA's Venerable Comet Hunter Wraps Up Mission Jet Propulsion Laboratory March 24, 2011 At 33 minutes after 4 p.m. PDT today, NASA's Stardust spacecraft finished its last transmission to Earth. The transmission came on the heels of the venerable spacecraft's final rocket burn, which was designed to provide insight into how much fuel remained aboard after its encounter with comet Tempel 1 in February. Stardust has been teaching us about our solar system since it was launched in 1999, said Stardust-NExT project manager Tim Larson from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. It makes sense that its very last moments would be providing us with data we can use to plan deep space mission operations in the future. The burn to depletion maneuver was designed to fire Stardust's rockets until insufficient fuel remains to continue, all the while downlinking data on the burn to Earth some 312 million kilometers (194 million miles) away. Mission personnel will compare the amount of fuel consumed in the burn with the amount they anticipated would be burned based on their fuel consumption models. Fuel consumption models are necessary because no one has invented a reliable fuel gauge for spacecraft when in the weightless environment of space flight. 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. Mission personnel watched the final data from the burn come down at JPL's Space Flight Operations Facility and at the Stardust-NExT mission support center at Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver. Stardust motors burned for 146 seconds, said Allan Cheuvront, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company program manager for Stardust-NExT. We'll crunch the numbers and see how close the reality matches up with our projections. That will be a great data set to have in our back pocket when we plan for future missions. The Stardust team performed the final burn to depletion because NASA's most senior comet hunter is a spacecraft literally running on fumes. Launched on Feb. 7, 1999, Stardust had completed its prime mission back in January 2006. By that time, Stardust had already flown past an asteroid (Annefrank), flown halfway out to Jupiter to collect particle samples from the coma of a comet, Wild 2, and returned to fly by Earth to drop off a sample return capsule eagerly awaited by comet scientists. NASA then re-tasked the spacecraft to perform a bonus mission to fly past comet Tempel 1 to collect images and other scientific data. Stardust has traveled about 21 million kilometers (13 million miles) in its journey about the sun in the few weeks since the Valentine's day comet Tempel 1 flyby, making the grand total from launch to its final rocket burn about 5.69 billion kilometers (3.54 billion miles). With all that mileage logged, the Stardust team knew the end was near. Now, with its fuel tank empty and its final messages transmitted, history's most traveled comet hunter will move from NASA's active mission roster to retired. This kind of feels like the end of one of those old Western movies where you watch the hero ride his horse towards the distant setting sun - and then the credits begin to roll, said Larson. Only there's no setting sun in space. Stardust-NExT was a low-cost mission to expand the investigation of comet Tempel 1 initiated by NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, managed the Stardust-NExT project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C., which was part of the Discovery Program managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Joe Veverka of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., was the mission's principal investigator. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft and managed day-to-day mission operations.

I am assuming out of the solar system and into interstellar space, but will it head towards a specific star or just out into empty space? It is very sad. I've worked on Stardust for 11 years. The spacecraft will remain in orbit around the Sun. Tim Larson: 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.

Re: [meteorite-list] Free Lecture on iTunes by the author of Fallen Sky
Thanks Mike. I wanted to point out in addition to this lecture, part of the Steward Observatory series at the University of Arizona, there are a number of other lectures available in iTunesU section of the iTunes Store. All are free. There are several or quite a few that maybe be of interest to readers of this list. We just recently ended a annual series of lectures, this year it is Cosmic Origins. In addition to the Steward lectures there are also public lectures from where I work, the Lunar Planetary Lab. In that series you can find a lecture by Dante Lauretta about our proposed Carbonaceous Asteroid sample return mission, Osiris-REX; Jay Melosh talking about impacts; One by our PI, Ed Beshore about our program, the Catalina Sky Survey, and many others. For those of you with iTunes, click on the iTunes U link at the top when you are in the store and search on Steward, LPL, or just University of Arizona. For those without iTunes, I'd recommend installing it just for the access to the lectures, not to mention all the other free content they offer. iTunes is free too... Unfortunately I know of no way to get these without using iTunes.

[meteorite-list] OK dinner
It's about time you guys kissed and made up! (OK, a firm handshake will suffice!) The World's Most Famous Meteorite Hunter and the World's Greatest Meteorite Hunter should let bygones be bygones and at least share a cordial working relationship. By that I mean guest appearances on the show leading to a spinoff (The Mike Farmer Show). And while we're at it, howabout a Bob Haag show? Then a Meteorite Channel with all meteorites all the time featuring segments with Ted Bunch demonstrating how to use a microprobe, Marc Fries collecting stones in Antarctica, Captain Blood explaining once and for all what a hammerstone is.and on and on and on until the entire world unites in a unified quest for meteorites and a greater understanding of the Solar System and the Universe. There will be no time for wars and bloated military budgets as Arabs and Jews, Christians and Muslims, White Sox and Cubs fans will be out looking for meteorites together as a Brotherhood of Man. Then a realization will dawn upon humanity. The sun will die in a mere 5 billion years, leaving space migration as the only way for the human race to survive. _ Phil Whitmer __ 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

Dear List, Is anyone working on an archive database for photos and videos of meteors besides the collection on Jeff`s site? I have some questionable photos of a meteor-not (in my opinion). IF anyone is collecting such please email me offlist and I will supply them. In my opinion we need to develop experts within our group that can identify known meteors and known fakes.

Re: [meteorite-list] American Meteorite Museum and Quiz
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.

Re: [meteorite-list] OK dinner
Hi list, I'm sure if there has been anything found that the guys are keeping quiet about it for now. I wouldn't be telling the world, certainly not the news until they've got the area mapped out and found a good sum of specimens.

Hi Greg, Thanks for the info about Mike and the gang. I know Mike is really good about contacting everyone and inviting them. He called me when Mifflin fell and told me that a few others were on their way and to get going up there. I did mean to say in my post that as you said everyone works well together as a team and I'm glad the guys and or girls out there are getting along and working together. It does help to have a team walking across the fields so that no inch is missed. Thanks again for the update! Hope you get to go and hunt! All the best! Brian Hey Brian and all...

Re: [meteorite-list] The Interest In Meteorites
Hi John and List, And there are 186 collections with almost 17000 specimens and about 19000 images. The site must be chewing up an enormous amount of bandwidth. I'm glad I don't have to pay that monthly bill. I try to reduce redundancy by only listing a single specimen for each find or fall. I notice that some people have 10 or 20 entries for a single meteorite like Campo or NWA 869. I guess it's not against the rules, but it does contribute to bandwidth usage. In fact, I have a couple of duplicates in my collection that need to be removed - older specimens that have been replaced with newer ones. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like clicking on someone's collection and then seeing 20 entries for Campo, 20 entries for NWA 869, etc - or seeing the same specimen from 10 different angles in 10 different photos. I understand wanting to show off one's entire collection (or document it in photos), but the EOM is a free site, and if it is to stay that way, we should be conservative with the amount and quality of photos that we upload - to help ease the bandwidth costs. So please, don't post 5 photos of your caliche-covered NWA or rusty Campo. This is not directed at any one person in particular, because lots of people are doing it. The only exception to this practice that I tolerate is Mirko's specimens - his meteorites are so attractive, that I don't mind seeing them from different angles or close-ups. But honestly, who wants to see 20 different Campos or the same Campo from 10 angles?

Re: [meteorite-list] The Interest In Meteorites
Hi Mike and list, I really enjoyed reading what you had to say about the Encyclopedia of Meteorites Mike. It honestly makes sense about the number of photos taking up bandwidth and thanks to John also about bringing it up. I can't remember when anyone has mentioned about bandwidth usage on the site. I'm sure as you said that would be one heck of a large bill. There must be some guidelines or something that is being done to keep the bill within reason. I'm glad it's still free and I'm sure they've thought about the number of photos, but at least there is interest in it and it's growing. Thanks for discussion.
