[meteorite-list] October 4th fireball northeast of Flagstaff
Question From all of this talk, can any calculate the speed of the meteor at which it entered the earth atmosphere and at what point the meteor burned up in km from the video and photos of the smoke trail.? Lastly people be speculating that this fall could have dropped meteorites?

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4333 NASA Shares Early Results From MAVEN Mars Orbiter Jet Propulsion Laboratory October 10, 2014 NASA will host a news teleconference at 11 a.m. PDT (2 p.m. EDT) Tuesday, Oct. 14, to announce early science results from its Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission. Launched in November 2013, the spacecraft entered orbit around Mars on Sept. 21, completing an interplanetary journey of 10 months and 442 million miles (711 million kilometers). MAVEN is the first spacecraft devoted to exploring and understanding the Martian upper atmosphere to help scientists understand climate change over the Red Planet's history. The teleconference participants are: -- Elsayed Talaat, MAVEN program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington -- Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder (CU-Boulder) -- Mike Chaffin, Remote Sensing Team member at CU-Boulder -- Justin Deighan, Remote Sensing Team member at CU-Boulder -- Davin Larson, Solar Energetic Particles instrument lead at the University of California, Berkeley For dial-in information, media should email their name, affiliation and telephone number to Dwayne Brown at dwayne.c.br...@nasa.gov.

[meteorite-list] LRO Mission Finds Widespread Evidence of Young Lunar Volcanism
October 12, 2014 NASA Mission Finds Widespread Evidence of Young Lunar Volcanism NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has provided researchers strong evidence the moon's volcanic activity slowed gradually instead of stopping abruptly a billion years ago. Scores of distinctive rock deposits observed by LRO are estimated to be less than 100 million years old. This time period corresponds to Earth's Cretaceous period, the heyday of dinosaurs. Some areas may be less than 50 million years old. Details of the study are published online in Sunday's edition of Nature Geoscience. This finding is the kind of science that is literally going to make geologists rewrite the textbooks about the moon, said John Keller, LRO project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The deposits are scattered across the moon's dark volcanic plains and are characterized by a mixture of smooth, rounded, shallow mounds next to patches of rough, blocky terrain. Because of this combination of textures, the researchers refer to these unusual areas as irregular mare patches. The features are too small to be seen from Earth, averaging less than a third of a mile (500 meters) across in their largest dimension. One of the largest, a well-studied area called Ina, was imaged from lunar orbit by Apollo 15 astronauts. Ina appeared to be a one-of-a-kind feature until researchers from Arizona State University in Tempe and Westfallische Wilhelms-Universitat Munster in Germany spotted many similar regions in high-resolution images taken by the two Narrow Angle Cameras that are part of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, or LROC. The team identified a total of 70 irregular mare patches on the near side of the moon. The large number of these features and their wide distribution strongly suggest that late-stage volcanic activity was not an anomaly but an important part of the moon's geologic history. The numbers and sizes of the craters within these areas indicate the deposits are relatively recent. Based on a technique that links such crater measurements to the ages of Apollo and Luna samples, three of the irregular mare patches are thought to be less than 100 million years old, and perhaps less than 50 million years old in the case of Ina. The steep slopes leading down from the smooth rock layers to the rough terrain are consistent with the young age estimates. In contrast, the volcanic plains surrounding these distinctive regions are attributed to volcanic activity that started about 3 1/2 billion years ago and ended roughly 1 billion years ago. At that point, all volcanic activity on the moon was thought to cease. Several earlier studies suggested that Ina was quite young and might have formed due to localized volcanic activity. However, in the absence of other similar features, Ina was not considered an indication of widespread volcanism. The findings have major implications for how warm the moon's interior is thought to be. The existence and age of the irregular mare patches tell us that the lunar mantle had to remain hot enough to provide magma for the small-volume eruptions that created these unusual young features, said Sarah Braden, a recent Arizona State University graduate and the lead author of the study. The new information is hard to reconcile with what currently is thought about the temperature of the interior of the moon. These young volcanic features are prime targets for future exploration, both robotic and human, said Mark Robinson, LROC principal investigator at Arizona State University. LRO is managed by Goddard for NASA's Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. LROC, a system of three cameras, was designed and built by Malin Space Science Systems and is operated by Arizona State University.
