[meteorite-list] Asteroid 2012 KT42 Buzzes Earth on May 29, 2012
Space Weather News for May 29, 2012 http://spaceweather.com ASTEROID FLYBY: A small asteroid is flying past Earth today inside the orbit of geosynchronous satellites and only 14,000 km above the surface of our planet. Named 2012 KT42, the 3- to 10-meter wide space rock ranks #6 on the top-20 list of known close-approachers to Earth, which makes it significant despite its small size.

Yes Paul, and IMCA members, My apologies to all others. The company who hosts the IMCA mailing list and website in Germany decided to move things to a different server, and something went very wrong. Don't ask me for details, I am no expert. They are aware of the problem, and so are we. And working on it. Any Doctor.. I mean: Internet/Mailman/Server expert in the house??? ;-) Anne M.

[meteorite-list] earthquake in Emilia Romagna, Italy
From the 20 May the Emilia Romagna region is undergoing a series of earthquakes, enough to be felt also in Switzerland and Austria, not to mention here in Venice that is not a seismic zone, and just today the already affected areas on May 20 were hit by two strong tremors that have razed several countries, some of this countries are well know for meteorite falls, type Vigarano ( Vigarano fall ), Renazzo ( Renazzo fall ), Mirandola ( Albareto fall )and Crevalcore. For the moment the deaths are only 21, many few seen the earthquakes very shallow but powerful - max. Mag. 6 richter - but unfortunaly the citys know for the meteorite falls are go destroyed.

[meteorite-list] GRAIL Finish Prime Mission Ahead of Schedule
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-146 NASA Lunar Spacecraft Finish Prime Mission Ahead of Schedule Jet Propulsion Laboratory May 29, 2012 PASADENA, Calif. -- A NASA mission to study the moon from crust to core has completed its prime mission earlier than expected. The team of NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, with twin probes named Ebb and Flow, is now preparing for extended science operations starting Aug. 30 and continuing through Dec. 3, 2012. The GRAIL mission has gathered unprecedented detail about the internal structure and evolution of the moon. This information will increase our knowledge of how Earth and its rocky neighbors in the inner solar system developed into the diverse worlds we see today. Since March 8, the spacecraft have operated around the clock for 89 days. From an orbit that passes over the lunar poles, they have collected data covering the entire surface three times. An instrument called the Lunar Gravity Ranging System onboard each spacecraft transmits radio signals that allow scientists to translate the data into a high-resolution map of the moon's gravitational field. The spacecraft returned their last data set of the prime mission today. The instruments were turned off at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT) when the spacecraft were 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the Sea of Nectar. Many of the measurement objectives were achieved from analysis of only half the primary mission data, which speaks volumes about the skill and dedication of our science and engineering teams, said Maria Zuber, principal investigator of GRAIL at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. While there is a great deal of work yet to be done to achieve the mission's science, it's energizing to realize that what we traveled from Earth to the moon for is right here in our hands. GRAIL delivered to Earth over 99.99 percent of the data that could have been collected, which underscores the flawless performance of the spacecraft, instrument and the Deep Space Network, said Zuber. Both spacecraft instruments will be powered off until Aug. 30. The spacecraft will have to endure a lunar eclipse on June 4. The eclipse and the associated sudden changes in temperature and the energy-sapping darkness that accompanies the phenomena were expected and do not concern engineers about the spacecraft's health. Before launch, we planned for all of GRAIL's primary mission science to occur between lunar eclipses, said David Lehman, project manager of GRAIL from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. But now that we have flown Ebb and Flow for a while, we understand them and are confident they can survive these eclipses in good shape. The extended mission goal is to take an even closer look at the moon's gravity field. To achieve this, GRAIL mission planners will halve their current operating altitude to the lowest altitude that can be safely maintained. Orbiting at an average altitude of 14 miles (23 kilometers) during the extended mission, the GRAIL twins will be clearing some of the moon's higher surface features by about 5 miles (8 kilometers), said Joe Beerer of JPL, GRAIL's mission manager. If Ebb and Flow had feet, I think by reflex they'd want to pull them up every time they fly over a mountain. Along with mission science, GRAIL's MoonKAM (Moon Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students) education and public outreach program is also extended. To date over 70,000 student images of the moon have been obtained. The MoonKAM program is led by Sally Ride, America's first woman in space, and her team at Sally Ride Science in collaboration with undergraduate students at the University of California in San Diego. The GRAIL mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The mission is part of the Discovery Program managed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. NASA's Deep Space Network is an international network of antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions and radio and radar astronomy observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe. The network also supports selected Earth-orbiting missions. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver built the spacecraft. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

[meteorite-list] Finally! Pictures and Prices for- Sutter's Mill Individuals and Frags
Hi all, My apologies to everyone that emailed yesterday and received either no photos or scattered pricing from me. The problem was that I only had a few photos of the specimens and wasn't sure what else they (the finders) had. As it turned out even the pricing was off as I purchased everything (just today) that they had and therefor got a lot better price. This means that even IF I gave you a price yesterday just disregard it. Take a look, as the specimens have come down drastically in price. http://www.mrmeteorite.com/sutterforsale.htm and here http://www.mrmeteorite.com/sutterforsale2.htm Fragment buyers - Fear not, if the larger stones don't sell they will be introduced to Mr Hammer. So please don't hesitate to call or email with questions or comments.. Also, as one might guess this (anonymous) team of meteorite hunters has given NASA the coordinates but as a favor to them I believe Peter has agreed to keep them secret for a few weeks so they can continue looking for more specimens uninterrupted. -- Rock On!
