Re: [meteorite-list] Fellow IMCA member needs accommodations for Tucson show
These hotels are both not far from where I live, and it is considered a very safe area and are both clean, and the Quality Inn was recently redone. And, they are convenient- both are a straight shot to downtown on Oracle Road, about 7 miles.

Bryan will be attending the 2013 Tucson show and needs to find either a hotel to stay or a room to share with someone attending. I have already made my own accommodations so am hoping the group can help. In terms of hotels, I have identified a few and wanted to make sure these are safe and clean locations to stay: 1) Towne Place Suites by Marriott Tucson North 405 W Rudasill Rd, Tucson, AZ, 85704 2) Quality Inn & Suites 7411 N Oracle Rd, Tucson, AZ, 85704 His budget is around $100/night so if you have any other recommendations, please feel free to make them. Bryan needs to secure his travel visa fairly quickly, so prompt responses back to me would be appreciated.

[meteorite-list] At Pluto, Moons and Debris May Be Hazardous to New Horizons
http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/news_center/news/20121016.php At Pluto, Moons and Debris May Be Hazardous to New Horizons Spacecraft Aims to Steer Clear of "Debris Zones" During 2015 Flyby October 16, 2012 NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is now almost seven years into its 9½-year journey across the solar system to explore Pluto and its system of moons. Just over two years from now, in January 2015, New Horizons will begin encounter operations, which will culminate in a close approach to Pluto on July 14, 2015, and the first-ever exploration of a planet in the Kuiper Belt. As New Horizons has traveled through space, its science team has become increasingly aware of the possibility that dangerous debris may be orbiting in the Pluto system, putting the spacecraft and its exploration objectives into harm's way. "We've found more and more moons orbiting near Pluto - the count is now up to five," says Alan Stern, principal investigator of the New Horizons mission and an associate vice president of the Space Science and Engineering Division at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). "And we've come to appreciate that those moons, as well as those not yet discovered, act as debris generators, populating the Pluto system with shards from collisions between those moons and small Kuiper Belt objects." "Because our spacecraft is traveling so fast - more than 30,000 miles per hour - a collision with a single pebble, or even a millimeter-sized grain, could cripple or destroy New Horizons," adds New Horizons Project Scientist Hal Weaver, of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), "so we need to steer clear of any debris zones around Pluto." The New Horizons team is already using every available tool - from sophisticated computer simulations of the stability of debris orbiting Pluto, to giant ground-based telescopes, to stellar occultation probes of the Pluto system, to the Hubble Space Telescope - to search for debris in orbit. At the same time, the team is plotting alternative, more distant courses through the Pluto system that would preserve most of the science mission but avert deadly collisions if the current flyby plan is found to be too hazardous. "We're worried that Pluto and its system of moons, the object of our scientific affection, may actually be a bit of a black widow," says Stern, who discusses this aspect of the flyby today at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences in Reno, Nevada. "We're making plans to stay beyond her lair if we have to," adds New Horizons Deputy Project Scientist Leslie Young, of Southwest Research Institute. "From what we have determined, we can still accomplish our main objectives if we have to fly a 'bail-out trajectory' to a safer distance from Pluto. Although we'd prefer to go closer, going farther from Pluto is certainly preferable to running through a dangerous gauntlet of debris (and possibly rings) that may orbit close to Pluto among its complex system of moons." "We may not know whether to fire our engines on New Horizons and bail out to safer distances until just 10 days before reaching Pluto, so this may be a bit of a cliffhanger," Stern says. "Stay tuned." New Horizons is the first mission in NASA's New Frontiers program. APL, located in Laurel, Md., built and operates the New Horizons spacecraft and manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. SwRI led the payload/instrument development and leads the New Horizons science and mission teams from the Tombaugh Science Operations Center, located at SwRI facilities in Boulder, Colo. For more information, go to: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/. [Image] Field of Debris? The discovery of additional small moons has raised concerns about the possibility of rings or other debris structures in the Pluto system that can pose hazards to New Horizons. Even a millimeter-sized pebble's impact at New Horizons' flyby speed - about 14 kilometers per second, or more than 31,300 miles per hour - could seriously damage the spacecraft. __ 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
