Hey, List Members! This is just a quick note to remind you about the Annual Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show this weekend(Saturday and Sunday) in Stuart, FL!

Please stop by our booth and say, Hi! We are hard to miss! We're the folks with the ORANGE table covers! We do have some new things that will be displayed for sale for the first time at this show. Hey, you just might find something that you cannot live without! My billfold sure hopes so! My credit card company does likewise! But, in any case, stop by and say, Hi!

Sterling, Okay. I have some real questions for you. What came first. The chicken or the egg? Seriously! Also, Even if your statements are true. Isn't there a missing link between not alive and alive? And couldn't man have arrived here as a man and not an ape? Why did it take man s long to develop if it derived from the soup already here? Thanks, Carl Sterling K. Webb sterling_k_w...@sbcglobal.net wrote: One. There is NO missing link between Ape and Man since human ancestry is a brush or shrub, not a tree. Two: Lucy is either ONE of many links between Ape and Man or One Cousin to one link between Ape and Man, of which there are probably dozens of so-called species. If this is confusing, just tell me WHICH of your great- great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents (numbering 1024) you are descended from? Or is it from ALL of them? For example, if you are a non-African, non-Asian H. sap, you have up to 4% Neanderthal DNA. Is H. sap. descended from H. neanderthalensis? Well, no. On the other hand... Well, yes. Human thinking about blood lines and ancestry is hopelessly corrupted by meaningless notions derived from antiquated tripe, of which the idea of the Missing Link is one.

Hello Count and list In my humble opinion it is an artifact or a bug in the data or the DEM from Google. I came across a similar feature on GoogleEarth, where I found a small peak in a location that I know from direct observation that there is no such thing. Also the location is incongruous. I don't see how such thing could grow on the border of a crater.

[meteorite-list] Asteroid Lutetia: Postcard From The Past (Rosetta)
http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMG93HURTG_index_0.html Asteroid Lutetia: postcard from the past European Space Agency 27 October 2011 ESA's Rosetta spacecraft has revealed asteroid Lutetia to be a primitive body, left over as the planets were forming in our Solar System. Results from Rosetta's fleeting flyby also suggest that this mini-world tried to grow a metal heart. Rosetta flew past Lutetia on 10 July 2010 at a speed of 54 000 km/hr and a closest distance of 3170 km. At the time, the 130 km-long asteroid was the largest encountered by a spacecraft. Since then, scientists have been analysing the data taken during the brief encounter. All previous flybys went past objects, which were fragments of once-larger bodies. However, during the encounter, scientists speculated that Lutetia might be an older, primitive 'mini-world'. Now they are much more certain. Images from the OSIRIS camera reveal that parts of Lutetia's surface are around 3.6 billion years old. Other parts are young by astronomical standards, at 50-80 million years old. Astronomers estimate the age of airless planets, moons, and asteroids by counting craters. Each bowl-shaped depression on the surface is made by an impact. The older the surface, the more impacts it will have accumulated. Some parts of Lutetia are heavily cratered, implying that it is very old. On the other hand, the youngest areas of Lutetia are landslides, probably triggered by the vibrations from particularly jarring nearby impacts. Debris resulting from these many impacts now lies across the surface as a 1 km-thick layer of pulverised rock. There are also boulders strewn across the surface: some are 300-400 m across, or about half the size of Ayers Rock, in Australia. Some impacts must have been so large that they broke off whole chunks of Lutetia, gradually sculpting it into the battered wreck we see today. We don't think Lutetia was born looking like this, says Holger Sierks, Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung, Lindau, Germany. It was probably round when it formed. Rosetta's VIRTIS spectrometer found that Lutetia's composition is remarkably uniform across all the observed regions. It is striking that an object of this size can bear scars of events so different in age across its surface while not showing any sign of surface compositional variation, says Fabrizio Capaccioni, INAF, Rome, Italy. This is just the start of the mystery. Rosetta also let scientists investigate beneath the asteroid's surface. It appears that Lutetia tried to grow an iron core like a bona-fide planet when it formed. During the encounter, Lutetia's weak gravity tugged on Rosetta. The slight change in Rosetta's path was reflected in radio signals received back at Earth, indicating a mass of 1.7 million billion tonnes. This was a surprise. The mass was lower than expected. Ground-based observations had suggested much higher values, says Martin Pätzold, Universität zu Köln, Germany, leader of the radio science team. Nevertheless, when combined with its volume, Lutetia still turns out to have one of the highest densities of any known asteroid: 3400 kg per cubic metre. The density implies that Lutetia contains significant quantities of iron, but not necessarily in a fully formed core. To form an iron core, Lutetia would have had to melt as a result of heat released by radioactive isotopes in its rocks. The dense iron would then sink to the centre and the rocky material would float to the top. However, VIRTIS indicates that Lutetia's surface composition remains entirely primordial, displaying none of the rocky material expected to form during such a molten phase. The only explanation appears to be that Lutetia was subjected to some internal heating early in its history but did not melt completely and so did not end up with a well-defined iron core. These results, all gathered during just a short flyby, make Lutetia a unique asteroid and an invaluable postcard from the past, at a time when Earth was forming. We picked a most important member of the asteroid belt, said Rita Schulz, ESA's Rosetta Project Scientist. All the asteroids encountered so far were different from each other, but Lutetia is the only one in which both primordial and differentiation features have been found. These unexpected results clearly show that there is still much more to investigate before we understand the belt fully. Having now left Lutetia far behind, Rosetta is in hibernation and en route to its 2014 rendezvous with comet ChuryumovâGerasimenko.

Bernd cited the great Astronomer William Herschel in 1787: April 19, 1787. I perceive three volcanoes in different places of the d a r k s i d e of the new moon. Interesting word selection! In 1780, it was said about people's continuing misconceptions regarding the lighted portions of the moon: It has often been a matter of surprise to me, when viewing the moon through a good telescope, in the company of persons not accustomed to such observations, that wilst the cavities and eminences of the moon's surface appeared to me marked out with the utmost certainty by their light and shades, my companions generally conceived it to be a plain surface of various degrees of brightness. The reason I suppose to be this; the astronomer knows from the moon's situation with respect to the sun, and even from the figure of its enlightened part, precisely in what direction the light falls on its surface, and therefore judges rightly of its hills and vallies [sic], from their different degrees of light, according to those rules which are imperceptably formed in the mind, and confirmed by long experience. But a person unacquainted with astronomy knows nothing of the direction of the sun's light on the moon, nor does he attend to the moon's globular figure, an is besides perhaps possessed with a notion of it being self-luminous; no wonder then that the same object has a very different effect on his imagination. It seems to be those rules of judging, which we begin to form in our earliest infancy, which we set aside, reestablish, alter, correct and confirm, and at length rely on with the utmost confidence, even without knowing that we do so, or that we have any such rules: It is these rules, of such infinite general use to us, that sometimes mislead us on new and extraordinary occasions, and particularly in the case before us. Ref:, Transactions APS, David Rittenhouse, of course Six month's after observing an incredible bolide and two months after discussing said bolide with Ben Franklin with whom he hatched first the specific correct cosmic origin of meteors and bolides ... which was correct.

Kindest wishes Doug - I once attended an engrossing lecture on the history of telescopes. Sir William Herschel was the focus (pun intended), an incredible genius with a very interesting personal life. Besides discovering infrared radiation, Uranus, moons, binary stars, the structure of the Milky Way, and the fact that the Solar System is moving through space, he also coined the word asteroid. I especially enjoyed the part of the talk about his wacky theories concerning the race of giant-headed sun-men inhabiting the Sun. Something about the hot outer layer was a thin coating overtop a narrow habitable cooler zone protected by a dense layer of clouds. He also thought all the planets were inhabited by intelligent beings. Very entertaining stuff!
