Hi all - The following structure has been proposed as a crater from the Holocene Start Impacts: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2011/pdf/1504.pdf I do not play a geologist on television, nor am I one in real life, but if the floor of this crater dates from 10,900 BCE, then that would be the crater floor, and not infill sediments, and thus the impact itself would have had to have been well after 10,900 BCE?

[meteorite-list] Comet Lovejoy update
Thanks, Sterling! Latest estimate on Comet Lovejoy's brightness is that it has reached magnitude +1, and we're looking for the first hints of blooming artifacts in SOHO LASCO C3 that will indicate that the comet has brightened into the negative magnitudes. Later today I expect to get an update from Karl Battams at NRL with the STEREO-B images from 13 December. When I do, I will append them to the existing movie. I'll also put together a movie from LASCO C3, and perhaps Jim Wooddell will be kind enough to host it as well. As for the closest approach distance of Lovejoy to the surface of the sun, there are some estimates out there that the distance will be effectively zero -- a true surface-grazer. As such, the chances for survival past perihelion are zero, unfortunately. Best wishes, Rob -Original Message- From: Sterling K.

[meteorite-list] Canadian Astronomers Capture Rare Meteor Footage Near Toronto
Department of Communications and Public Affairs University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada Wednesday, December 14, 2011 Western astronomers capture rare meteor footage in the sky east of Toronto By Communications Staff Astronomers from The University of Western Ontario have released footage of a meteor, which was captured by its highly advanced video surveillance system, traveling through the evening sky east of Toronto on Monday evening (December 12, 2011). Although this bright fireball occurred near the peak of the annual Geminid meteor shower, it is unrelated to that shower. At 6:04 p.m., six cameras of Western's Southern Ontario Meteor Network recorded a slow-moving fireball, estimated to be no bigger than a basketball, which first entered the atmosphere at a shallow angle of 25 degrees from the horizontal moving at 14 km per second. It first became visible over Lake Erie then moved toward the north-northeast ending at an altitude of 31 km just south of the town of Selwyn, Ontario. It is likely to have dropped small meteorites in a region to the east of Selwyn near the eastern end of Upper Stony Lake. The video data suggest an end mass that may total as much as a few kilograms, likely in the form of many fragments in one gram to hundreds of a gram size range. Finding a meteorite from a fireball captured by video is equivalent to a planetary sample return mission, says Peter Brown, the Director of Western's Centre for Planetary Space Exploration. We know where the object comes from in our solar system and can study it in the lab. Only about a dozen previous meteorite falls have had their orbits measured by cameras so each new event adds significantly to our understanding of the small bodies in the solar system. In essence, each new recovered meteorite is adding to our understanding of the formation and evolution of our own solar system. Researchers at Western and the Royal Ontario Museum are interested in hearing from anyone who may have found fragments of the freshly fallen meteorite. For assistance with possible meteorites, please contact Kimberly Tait at 416-586-5820 or kt...@rom.on.ca To arrange interviews with Peter Brown, please contact Jeff Renaud at 519-661-2111, ext 85165 or jrena...@uwo.ca For videos, please visit http://meteor.uwo.ca/research/fireball/events/selwyn/videos.html For an overview, images and a map, please visit http://meteor.uwo.ca/research/fireball/events/selwyn/overview.html For a fall map, please visit http://meteor.uwo.ca/research/fireball/events/selwyn/fallmap.html __ 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

[meteorite-list] The Beginning of the End for Comet Lovejoy
http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEM3HD8XZVG_index_0.html The beginning of the end for comet Lovejoy European Space Agency 14 December 2011 [Image] The SOHO spaceborne solar observatory today captured comet Lovejoy in its field of view for the first time, indicating that the icy body is on its final destructive plunge towards the Sun. Announced on 2 December, the newly discovered comet Lovejoy is on a near-collision course with the Sun and is expected to plunge to its fiery fate late on 15 December. At its closest approach, it will pass just 140 000 km above the solar surface. At that distance, the icy comet is not expected to survive the Sunâs fierce heat. Indeed, comets are such tenuous collections of ice and rocks that it could disintegrate at any moment. If the comet does stay the course, we will not see its demise because its closest approach will take place on the far side of the Sun. The ESA-NASA SOHO spacecraft is an exceptional discoverer of comets, spotting 2110 since its launch in 1995. However, comet C/2011 W3 was discovered from the ground by the Australian astronomer Terry Lovejoy, hence it is now carries his name. Terry was an early pioneer of using SOHO data over the Internet to discover comets. He can now claim to be the first person to discover a Sun-grazer from both ground and space telescopes. Comet Lovejoy is from the Kreutz group - believed to be a fragment of a previous comet that broke up centuries ago. Other fragments of that great comet have become some of the brightest in history: comet Ikeya-Seki became so bright in 1965 that it was visible even in the daytime sky. Unfortunately, comet Lovejoy is not expected to become as bright as Ikeya-Seki. On average, new Kreutz-group comets are discovered every few days by SOHO, but from the ground they are much rarer to see or discover, says Karl Battams, Naval Research Laboratory, who curates the Sun-grazing comets webpage http://sungrazer.nrl.navy.mil/. This is the first ground-based discovery of a Kreutz-group comet in 40 years, so we really can't be sure just how bright it will get. However, I do think that it will be the brightest Kreutz-group comet SOHO has ever seen. Comet Lovejoy's spectacular progress can be monitored via the web at SOHO's LASCO instrument page http://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime-images.html. __ 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
