Re: [meteorite-list] Russian meteor: Stefan Geens' research updates - amazing photos and videos
Here are some more interesting items from the emailed updates I get for: http://ogleearth.com/2013/02/reconstructing-the-chelyabinsk-meteors-path-with-google-earth-youtube-and-high-school-math/ Another view from the west, with exact coordinates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiN1I2CK4gA A view from the north-west showing the direction of the sun with respect to the smoke trail. The camera appears to be directly under the shadow of the largest part of the smoke trail. This shows a small trail of smoke after the main trail, and that small trail is being disrupted either by uneven winds or perhaps by different temperatures and densities causing different rates of convection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwkKvLf3fZE >From the south, showing the thin trail on the west and the immense size of the main smoke trail where the greatest conflagration occurred: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu4RuFg_v6U Electron microscopy of meteorite fragments: http://www.rg.ru/2013/02/19/reg-urfo/mikroskop.html >From the west, apparently 55.0406141, 59.0409778: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD9Vmi84qgM A more detailed map: https://maps.google.ee/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=216221265233140305376.0004d5da6860954d651ba Astounding high-resolution photos from the north, by Marat Ahmetvaleev, apparently from: 55.170043°, 61.316855°, including a single wide-angle photo of the entire main part of the smoke trail, and almost all of the mini-trails at the start and end of it: http://marateaman.livejournal.com/27910.html This also shows the dispersal of the trail over 33 minutes. This video was mentioned for its sounds, but for me the most interesting aspect of it is that it is the only video I have seen which shows at least two smaller objects following the main mass after the main part of the smoke trail. I suggest switching to full-screen and starting the player at 4:30: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ6Pa5Pv_io It is a curious thing, but it seems that high levels of crime and police corruption, including the staging of so-called "accidents" (including people throwing themselves in the path of cars) has lead to so many Russian people installing surveillance cameras, which turned out to have recorded most of the significant videos of this extraordinary event. Another curious thing is that one of the videos, I can't remember which, showed a major intersection by a bridge, with the car waiting for the traffic lights. The biggest visible to humans meteor event in a century lights up the entire place, and as far as I can see, the numerous pedestrians just keep on walking. How could they not pause, turn around to see what the light is?? - Robin __ 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] Chelyabinsk- To be? Or not to be? Prices say yes, but I'm extremely skeptical
I was browsing Chelyabinsk on eBay to see what, if anything real, may be for sale and noticed two specific specimens for sale by eBay seller Pavelkuzmin92. Both by picture appear to be legit (which has obviously been the driver behind the high bids already!), but the weights appear to be all wrong and by the look of the larger of the two, at least 15-20 grams. Screenshot of media video or legit stones being sold? Of course, I only ask because I want to know whether to pull out the popcorn or not :-p Best, Brandon D. __ 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 Mars Rover Confirms First Drilled Martian Rock Sample
Feb. 20, 2013 Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 dwayne.c.br...@nasa.gov Guy Webster Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. 818-354-6278 guy.webs...@jpl.nasa.gov RELEASE: 13-059 NASA MARS ROVER CONFIRMS FIRST DRILLED MARTIAN ROCK SAMPLE PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has relayed new images that confirm it has successfully obtained the first sample ever collected from the interior of a rock on another planet. No rover has ever has drilled into a rock beyond Earth and collected a sample from its interior. Transfer of the powdered-rock sample into an open scoop was visible for the first time in images received Wednesday at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif. "Seeing the powder from the drill in the scoop allows us to verify for the first time the drill collected a sample as it bore into the rock," said JPL's Scott McCloskey, drill systems engineer for Curiosity. "Many of us have been working toward this day for years. Getting final confirmation of successful drilling is incredibly gratifying. For the sampling team, this is the equivalent of the landing team going crazy after the successful touchdown." The drill on Curiosity's robotic arm took in the powder as it bored a 2.5-inch (6.4-centimeter) hole into a target on flat Martian bedrock on Feb. 8. The rover team plans to have Curiosity sieve the sample and deliver portions of it to analytical instruments inside the rover. The scoop now holding the precious sample is part of Curiosity's Collection and Handling for In-Situ Martian Rock Analysis (CHIMRA) device. During the next steps of processing, the powder will be enclosed inside CHIMRA and shaken once or twice over a sieve that screens out particles larger than 0.006 inch (150 microns) across. Small portions of the sieved sample later will be delivered through inlet ports on top of the rover deck into the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument and Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument. In response to information gained during testing at JPL, the processing and delivery plan has been adjusted to reduce use of mechanical vibration. The 150-micron screen in one of the two test versions of CHIMRA became partially detached after extensive use, although it remained usable. The team has added precautions for use of Curiosity's sampling system while continuing to study the cause and ramifications of the separation. The sample comes from a fine-grained, veiny sedimentary rock called "John Klein," named in memory of a Mars Science Laboratory deputy project manager who died in 2011. The rock was selected for the first sample drilling because it may hold evidence of wet environmental conditions long ago. The rover's laboratory analysis of the powder may provide information about those conditions. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project is using the Curiosity rover with its 10 science instruments to investigate whether an area within Mars' Gale Crater ever has offered an environment favorable for microbial life. JPL manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. An image of the drill's rock powder held in the scoop is online at: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16729 For more about the mission, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/msl You can follow the mission on Facebook and Twitter at: http://www.facebook.com/marscuriosity and http://www.twitter.com/marscuriosity -end- __ 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] - Re: Famous Dave / media coverage in general was better this time round.
Having done quite a few interviews on this too I must admit I was quite impressed how the media do seem to be learning. They were making a genuine effort to ask rather than just speculating. And it was quite noticeable how facts like the casualty figures and bolide size and such were not too widely hyped upwards. If anything they were on the conservative side! There was a dreadfully slow news stream coming out of Russia, apart from the fantastic video footage, so this may have helped as essentially there was a limited 'pool of news' to draw from, so it all sounded quite similar. Certainly in the UK there has been a resurgence of interest in astronomy over the last few years, and I think this has helped vastly improve peoples background knowledge.

As we all know, media exposure is a double-edged sword and those who take the risk have my full support and recognition. If you distinguish between actual quotes and what the editors made up themselves then there is no question that Dave gave an excellent interview. As a matter of fact, he conveyed the fascination of meteorites in a very comprehensible and unpretentious way. And it speaks for Dave’s foresight that they didn’t get a quote of him involving actual figures of monetary value on the Russian material, which I’m sure, they tried.
