[meteorite-list] History changing meteorite fall
All, I was off yesterday and had the H2 channel on in the background while taking care of a few things around the house. The programming included six different meteorite/comet-strike-themed one hour episodes, many describing the consequences of a large impact on a populated area. Although we all have seen these shows (probably several times) I know I still love to watch them. Looks like there's no need for future programs to say what if anymore. Although fortunately not THAT large of an event and NOT city-destroying nor life-ending by any means, I'd say this fall has really brought home to people just how real the potential danger is. This fall will almost certainly be featured in all the future meteorite themed programs. Perhaps NOVA will do a nice episode on it soon. History has changed today. Although we don't seem to have any reports of a person actually being struck by meteorite ( at least yet) we all will have to change our talks and lectures about the damage and incidental injuries ( over 750 people at this point and climbing fast) that have occurred from a fall. And if it is proven that someone WAS actually struck by a piece- well .. I'd also hazard to guess that NASA and the Spaceguard type programs might see some significant boosts in their financing from this?

Re: [meteorite-list] Russian Meteor event?
I'm betting it's an Iron, Personally I don't think there's too much smoke, (look at the classic Skihote Alin painting for example!) What is strange is that in quite a few videos of the fireball there seems to be some odd features what I can only describe as 'puffs of extra fast smoke' spontaneously appearing almost like mini explosions along the trajectory as it travels.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Hits Central Russia, More Than 500 People Hurt
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/15/us-russia-meteorite-idUSBRE91E05Z20130215 Meteorite hits central Russia, more than 500 people hurt February 15, 2013 (Reuters) - More than 500 people were injured when a meteorite shot across the sky and exploded over central Russia on Friday, sending fireballs crashing to Earth, shattering windows and damaging buildings. People heading to work in Chelyabinsk heard what sounded like an explosion, saw a bright light and then felt a shockwave according to a Reuters correspondent in the industrial city 950 miles east of Moscow. A fireball blazed across the horizon, leaving a long white trail in its wake which could be seen as far as 125 miles away in Yekaterinburg. Car alarms went off, windows shattered and mobile phone networks were interrupted. I was driving to work, it was quite dark, but it suddenly became as bright as if it was day, said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. I felt like I was blinded by headlights, he said. No fatalities were reported but President Vladimir Putin, who was due to host Finance Ministry officials from the Group of 20 nations in Moscow, and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev were informed. A local ministry official said such incidents were extremely rare and Friday's events might have been linked to an asteroid the size of an Olympic swimming pool due to pass Earth at a distance of 17,100 miles but this was not confirmed. Russia's space agency Roscosmos said the meteorite was travelling at a speed of 19 miles per second and that such events were hard to predict. The Interior Ministry said the meteorite explosion had caused a sonic boom. Russia's Emergencies Ministry said 514 people had sought medical help, mainly for light injuries caused by flying glass, and that 112 of those were kept in hospital. Search groups were set up to look for the remains of the meteorite. There have never been any cases of meteorites breaking up at such a low level over Russia before, said Yuri Burenko, head of the Chelyabinsk branch of the Emergencies Ministry. WINDOWS BREAK, FRAMES BUCKLE Windows were shattered on Chelyabinsk's central Lenin Street and some of the frames of shop fronts buckled. A loud noise, resembling an explosion, rang out at around 9.20 a.m. (12:20 a.m. ET). The shockwave could be felt in apartment buildings in the industrial city's center. I was standing at a bus stop, seeing off my girlfriend, said Andrei, a local resident who did not give his second name. Then there was a flash and I saw a trail of smoke across the sky and felt a shockwave that smashed windows. A wall was damaged at the Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant but a spokeswoman said there was no environmental threat. Although such events are rare, a meteorite is thought to have devastated an area of more than 1,250 miles in Siberia in 1908, smashing windows as far as 125 miles from the point of impact. The Emergencies Ministry described Friday's events as a meteor shower in the form of fireballs and said background radiation levels were normal. It urged residents not to panic. Chelyabinsk city authorities urged people to stay indoors unless they needed to pick up their children from schools and kindergartens. They said what sounded like a blast had been heard at an altitude of 32,800 feet. The U.S. space agency NASA has said an asteroid known as 2012 DA14, about 46 meters in diameter, would have an encounter with Earth closer than any asteroid since scientists began routinely monitoring them about 15 years ago. Television, weather and communications satellites fly about 500 miles higher. The moon is 14 times farther away.

Re: [meteorite-list] Russian Meteor event Not related to 2012 DA14
Two ways to look at this and two possible outcomes. Either it was or was not related to the unperturbed orbit of 2012 DA14. According to Dr Marco of the Dutch Meteor Society this could not be related to Asteroid 2012 DA14. When asked about the possible connection and the speed with which the ESA published a disclaimer tweet he wrote: In this case, no trajectory for the Russian bolide was needed to come to that conclusion. With a geocentric radiant at declination -81 degrees for the 2012 DA14 orbit, it is impossible for fragments from an associated stream to impact at a latitude as high as 55 North. As seen from the viewpoint of approaching 2012 DA14 fragments, 55 N is the backside of the Earth. - Marco - Dr Marco (asteroid 183294) Langbroek Dutch Meteor Society (DMS) e-mail: d...@marcolangbroek.nl http://www.dmsweb.org http://www.marcolangbroek.nl ** HOWEVER there is a mindset that potential debris streams are likened to water hoses or narrow stream channels in lockstep with the NEO aka Main Mass. Photographs of recent collisions in the asteroid belt show that the stream rapidly spreads out more like a delta than a stream bed increasing the length of time/window of opportunity for earth to intercept any broad front debris stream. I still want to see the calculated orbit and know this wasn't snatched from a parallel orbit, slingshot around the moon 3 days ago and over to poles. Sorry, but I want a little more solid info from a group of folks that commingle metric and Imperial units with out changing out the values. Elton PS: As I see it, DA14 is well inside/below the Roche Radius for a low density rubble pile but not low enough for calculated high density objects. If it disintegrates then DA14 isn't an iron. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Russia Asteroid Strike 15FEB2013 - commentary, etc.
Dear List, I have been scrambling for the past 12 hours plus. A live interview with me on RT (Russia Today) was a giant surprise! Site stats: Pageviews today 42,030 and the 24-hour day is 12 hrs into day. This will certainly alter perception about the potential and reality of potential danger from space, especially given the current world political climate, world population and world economy. After today things will NOT be the same. Perhaps NASA, ESA, and JAXA will be forced to address funding for even better advance warning systems. When the NEXT bigger one comes (still in many of our lifetimes) all hell may break loose with population panic. This event can serve as a wake-up call. Please support my site by supporting my Google sponsors which appear as google ads and by bookmarking my site: http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.com/ The correct citing for my site is The Latest Worldwide Meteor/Meteorite News. The specific link for this event is: http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.jp/2013/02/mbiq-detects-russia-fireball-meteor.html I will continue to update this story with a video library and data as it comes in and is vetted. Thank you for your contributions by visiting; my site is still a One-man-band and 15-20 hours of worldwide monitoring is taxing on health, family, and other aspects of my personal time; but This is what I choose to do. Thank you all for helping to make my dream come tru of a worldwide meteor/meteorite monitoring site outside of govt funding and control for all of mankind. Thank you all! Sincerely and humbly, Dirk Ross...Tokyo It is ironic that as we learn more about meteorites by the common hunter/collector and scientists with cooperating with science and meteorite science that we may be too late and I wonder IF the dinos knew that they realized that they too were too late to change behavior and culture ??? (joke - dark humor) Please help support this site by getting out the word about this site on facebook, twitter, youtube, and with interested friends and forums and by making constructive suggestions/criticism offline. Blessings! ... drtanuki I don`t like to ask for donations but IF you feel lead let me know; thanks! Non-the-less I will continue to serve the meteorite community and science.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite over Russia
Hi all - So far, no fatalities, and though we have not heard as the severity of the injuries, they appear to be from glass shards, and treatable. Thus I tend to think of this as a low cost warning, and as something of a blessing. My assumption is that money from fragment sales will go to a relief fund. Given the ground effects, this one must have been pretty friable with a detonation at a higher altitude than average. Great Job you're doing there, Brownie. There have never been any cases of meteorites breaking up at such a low level over Russia before, said Yuri Burenko, head of the Chelyabinsk branch of the Emergencies Ministry. I know there are some Siberian separatists, but last I heard Siberia was still part of the Russian Federation. E.P.

[meteorite-list] Russian Meteor Not Associated With Asteroid 2012 DA14
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-061 Russian Meteor Not Associated With Asteroid 2012 DA14 Jet Propulsion Laboratory February 15, 2013 Preliminary information indicates that the fireball in Chelyabinsk, Russia, is not related to asteroid 2012 DA14, which is flying by Earth today. The Russian fireball is the largest reported fireball since the 1908 Tunguska event. The fireball entered the atmosphere at 18 km per second. The impact time was 3:20:26 UTC, and the energy released by the impact was in the hundreds of kilotons. Based on the duration of the event, it was a very shallow entry. It was larger than the fireball over Ind onesia on Oct. 8, 2009. Measurements are still coming in, and a more precise measure of the energy may be available later. The size of the object before hitting the atmosphere was about 15 meters, the pre-impacting asteroid was about 15 meters in diameter and had a mass of about 7,000 tons. It was about 1/4 the size of asteroid 2012 DA14. The fireball trail was visible for about 30 seconds, so it was a grazing impact through the atmosphere. The fireball was brighter than the sun. It is important to note that this estimate is preliminary, and some of the estimates may be revised as more data is obtained. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/asteroidflyby.html __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] NASA Experts Discuss Russia Meteor in Media Teleconference Today
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-062 NASA Experts Discuss Russia Meteor in Media Teleconference Today Jet Propulsion Laboratory February 15, 2013 PASADENA -- NASA experts will hold a teleconference for news media at 1 p.m. PST (4 p.m. EST) today to discuss a meteor that streaked through the skies over Russia's Urals region this morning. Scientists have determined the Russia meteor is not related to asteroid 2012 DA14, which will safely pass Earth today at a distance of more than 17,000 miles (27,360 kilometers). Early assessments of the Russia meteor indicate it was about one-third the size of 2012 DA14 and traveling in a different direction. Panelists for the teleconference are: -- Bill Cooke, lead for the Meteoroid Environments Office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. -- Paul Chodas, research scientist in the Near Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. The teleconference will be carried live online at: http://www.nasa.gov/newsaudio .

[meteorite-list] Russian Meteor Shook Ground Like An Earthquake
http://www.space.com/19816-russian-meteor-earthquake-signal.html Russian Meteor Shook Ground Like An Earthquake By Becky Oskin space.com February 15, 2013 A meteor explosion in the skies above Russia this morning also walloped the Earth, triggering shaking as strong as an earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reports. Today's early morning blast, centered on the Chelyabinsk region, sent massive tremors through the ground, which were recorded on seismic monitoring instruments around the world. Initial reports pegged the explosion as similar to a magnitude 2.7 shaker, according a seismograph released by the USGS. For comparison, the 1908 Tunguska meteor blast's shock waves, which flattened 80 million trees in Siberia, produced the equivalent of an estimated 5.0 temblor. When you have an explosion in the air, it shakes the ground, and we see it on the seismographs, explained Paul Caruso, a geophysicist at the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Denver, Colo., which reported the meteor-related tremors. It's not an earthquake, and it looks very different from the usual earthquake seismogram, he told OurAmazingPlanet. Few meteor explosions have actually been recorded on seismographs, though, Caruso said. We've been looking at it all morning, he added. The meteor reportedly injured hundreds of people and damaged hundreds of buildings when it exploded in a massive blast Friday morning (Feb. 15). Most of the injured were reportedly hurt by falling glass caused by the blast, and many have been hospitalized. In addition, an estimated 297 buildings suffered damage, including six hospitals and 12 schools, according to translations of updates by the Russian Emergency Ministry. Scientists think a meteoroid entered the atmosphere above Russia's southern Chelyabinsk region, where it exploded and broke up into fragments scattered across three regions of Russia and Kazakhstan, according to news reports. The Russian meteor probably had nothing to do with the upcoming close Earth approach of asteroid 2013 DA14, which is due to make its closest approach to the Earth at 2:24 p.m. ET, Don Yeomans, head of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program, told SPACE.com. The Russian meteor's trail did not travel south to north as the asteroid will. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Russia mega meteor and asteroid 2012DA14 related, yes I think so...
All the various arguments against it being a connection between the russian meteor of today and the asteroid passage also today of 2012 DA14 are quite shallow and actually faulty. The closest passage of a very large asteroid object ever and the the most damaging (for humans) meteorite fall ever in the same day and they are not related?? That is a joke! Added to this, can anyone with good knowledge (exact information) of the geometry of the two trajectories of these bodies just compare them? The best knowledge I got (from International Meteor Organization IMO) is pointing towards them being exact parallell, which would in effect exclude them from not being related. An object coming in shallow path from south could easily enter Russia from northeast in the morning. The earth rotates continuously and therefore entry from northeast is easily attainable. NASA (to the degree they have made a final verdict) is in error here. Unfortunately the world press has too little scientific background to counter an error from NASA and follow it as a flock of drowsy geese. Sorry but this is the situation in this case!

Re: [meteorite-list] Russia mega meteor and asteroid 2012DA14 related, yes I think so...
The trajectory through the siberian atmosphere doesn't seem to be known with very great precisison at the time. I am working out from this statement from Jeremie Vaubaillon on the [IMO-News] saying: the bolide was heading very roughly North-East towards South-West. Looking at the geometry of the orbit of 2012DA14 and the location of these russian cites east of Ural at nine in the morning, a flat path over west Siberia is _strikingly very parallell_ to 2012DA14's orbit. Only this is already giving a strong leaning towards them being connected. You need to be looking at a globe of the Earth and its exact tilt and Siberia's position to the other objects of interest (asteroid, Sun) to get a grasp of my argument. If not, you would not understand the value of the argument. If NASA (if they indeed have done so) is rejecting a connection to the nearby asteroid I think it foremost is up to them and other 'astronomers' doing so - to bring forward what reasons of rejecting a connection. They seem to have brought forward none. The message from NASA says only: Preliminary information indicates that a meteor in Chelyabinsk, Russia, is not related to asteroid 2012DA14, which is flying by Earth safely today. Take note of the fact that the inclination of the orbit to Earth's orbit plane is a shallow 10 degrees. Actually one would say, 'almost' parallell to the Earth's orbital plane. So no problem reaching any point in the northern hemisphere, let alone 55 deg. N. (And don't make the mistake of assuming that the meteorid/meteor is originating in the 2012DA14's postion, they are flying _parallell_ through space at any distance you may wish - within reason.) Bjørn Sørheim Hello Bjørn, Ok, what _evidence_ do you have to the contrary? /DA14's trajectory is trivially established precisely. Show us this new body matches that trajectory. It either does or it doesn't. You are claiming it does, so now you need to present your case. Finger-pointing and innuendo does not a falsifiable argument make. --- Jodie Friday, February 15, 2013, 7:56:16 PM, you wrote: All the various arguments against it being a connection between the russian meteor of today and the asteroid passage also today of 2012 DA14 are quite shallow and actually faulty. The closest passage of a very large asteroid object ever and the the most damaging (for humans) meteorite fall ever in the same day and they are not related?? That is a joke!

Re: [meteorite-list] First Chelyabinsk Russia meteorite listed on eBay
NASA asteroid expert Don Yeomans, head of the agency's Near-Earth Object Program Office, told SPACE.com that the object which exploded over a thinly inhabited stretch of eastern Europe today was most likely an _exploding fireball known as a bolide._ Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/02/15/russian-meteor-explosion-not-caused-by-asteroid-flyby-nasa-scientist-says/#ixzz2L2J50GUM Greetings all, Looks like bolide is STILL a relevant term according to the NASA expert! Also until a chemical analysis of the fallen material along with a spectra of the asteroid that is near, we won't know for certain if there is a connection.

Re: [meteorite-list] Interactive map of all known meteorites (Guardian data blog)
A couple problems. I suppose you mean the Meteoritical Society, not the Meteorological Society, since we are talking about meteorites not weather. Also, there should be a red dot in Alsace, eastern France, where the Ensisheim meteorite fell in 1492. Besides that, this map is a great idea. Anne M.

[meteorite-list] Small fragments of meteorite on ice in lake?

Using Google image search I haven't found any other source of this photo. I assume this is the same hole as depicted here: http://rt.com/news/scientists-explain-chelyabinsk-bolide-337/ A Russian policeman works near an ice hole, said by the Interior Ministry department for Chelyabinsk region to be the point of impact of a meteor seen earlier in the Urals region, at lake Chebarkul some 80 kilometers (50 miles) west of Chelyabinsk February 15, 2013 (Reuters / Chelyabinsk region Interior Ministry) This page also shows weather satellite images of the meteor. I haven't seen any more details about the zinc warehouse which was severely damaged. A widely circulated photo shows a cloud of grey smoke from inside the factory, which would not seem to be consistent with the idea that the wall was simply blown down by the shockwave from appoximately above. However, I think this was in Chelyabinsk, and I understand the main or only path of the meteor was many km above this area, so it seems unlikely that a fragment would have hit the ground there. Lake Chebarkul is about 70km west and a little south of Chelyabinsk: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Lake+Chebarkulhl=enll=55.044942,60.395622spn=0.15205,0.271912geocode=+t=hz=12 I haven't yet seen a map of the trajectory.

Re: [meteorite-list] Russia mega meteor and asteroid 2012DA14 related, yes I think so...
It is 100% certain that the two bodies are unrelated, given the physical impossibility of a single object producing the two completely different trajectories involved. I'd suggest you study orbital dynamics before making scientifically unsound suggestions. NASA has made no final verdict. It's initial analysis is no different than what dozens of other meteor experts have concluded.
