[meteorite-list] Massive meteor event over Southeastern Australia
Hi all, There was a huge meteor event over southeastern Australia tonight that was seen across both Melbourne and Sydney. Just google news search meteor and there are videos piling up online everywhere. Twitter is also alive. Just wondering if the gurus on the list are able to check any space junk re-entry sources? At first, I thought the first video I was sent was a repost of Hayabusa re entry or something similar. Very slow and unusual breakup. Would be interested to hear other thoughts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWNEb5LY348 Cheers, Jeff __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://three.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Massive meteor event over Southeastern Australia
It looks like space junk to these untrained eyes, too slow for a cosmic velocity object. Michael in so. Cal.

[meteorite-list] Rosetta: Closer and Closer (Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko)
http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta/Highlights/Closer_and_closer Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 4 July 2014 European Space Agency Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, taken by the narrow angle camera of Rosetta's scientific imaging system, OSIRIS, on 4 July 2014, at a distance of 37 000 km. The three images are separated by 4 hours, and are shown in order from left to right. The comet has a rotation period of about 12.4 hours. It covers an area of about 30 pixels, and although individual features are not yet resolved, the image is beginning to reveal the comet's irregular shape.

[meteorite-list] MRO Spacecraft Observes Further Evidence of Dry Ice Gullies on Mars
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-226 NASA Spacecraft Observes Further Evidence of Dry Ice Gullies on Mars Jet Propulsion Laboratory July 10, 2014 Repeated high-resolution observations made by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) indicate the gullies on Mars' surface are primarily formed by the seasonal freezing of carbon dioxide, not liquid water. The first reports of formative gullies on Mars in 2000 generated excitement and headlines because they suggested the presence of liquid water on the Red Planet, the eroding action of which forms gullies here on Earth. Mars has water vapor and plenty of frozen water, but the presence of liquid water on the neighboring planet, a necessity for all known life, has not been confirmed. This latest report about gullies has been posted online by the journal Icarus. As recently as five years ago, I thought the gullies on Mars indicated activity of liquid water, said lead author Colin Dundas of the U.S. Geological Survey's Astrogeology Science Center in Flagstaff, Arizona. We were able to get many more observations, and as we started to see more activity and pin down the timing of gully formation and change, we saw that the activity occurs in winter. Dundas and collaborators used the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on MRO to examine gullies at 356 sites on Mars, beginning in 2006. Thirty-eight of the sites showed active gully formation, such as new channel segments and increased deposits at the downhill end of some gullies. Using dated before-and-after images, researchers determined the timing of this activity coincided with seasonal carbon-dioxide frost and temperatures that would not have allowed for liquid water. Frozen carbon dioxide, commonly called dry ice, does not exist naturally on Earth, but is plentiful on Mars. It has been linked to active processes on Mars such as carbon dioxide gas geysers and lines on sand dunes plowed by blocks of dry ice. One mechanism by which carbon-dioxide frost might drive gully flows is by gas that is sublimating from the frost providing lubrication for dry material to flow. Another may be slides due to the accumulating weight of seasonal frost buildup on steep slopes. The findings in this latest report suggest all of the fresh-appearing gullies seen on Mars can be attributed to processes currently underway, whereas earlier hypotheses suggested they formed thousands to millions of years ago when climate conditions were possibly conducive to liquid water on Mars. Dundas's co-authors on the new report are Serina Diniega of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona, Tucson. Much of the information we have about gully formation, and other active processes, comes from the longevity of MRO and other orbiters, said Diniega. This allows us to make repeated observations of sites to examine surface changes over time. Although the findings about gullies point to processes that do not involve liquid water, possible action by liquid water on Mars has been reported in the past year in other findings from the HiRISE team. Those observations were of a smaller type of surface-flow feature. An upcoming special issue of Icarus will include multiple reports about active processes on Mars, including smaller flows that are strong indications of the presence of liquid water on Mars today. I like that Mars can still surprise us, Dundas said. Martian gullies are fascinating features that allow us to investigate a process we just don't see on Earth. HiRISE is operated by the University of Arizona, Tucson. The instrument was built by Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colorado. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project is managed for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, by JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena.
