[meteorite-list] Frank Hibbens returned to honor

[E.P. Grondine via Meteorite-list]

Hi Listeros - 
Some of you with really good memories will remember my defense of Frank Hibbens 
so many years ago.Others will remember the recovery of the artifacts and site 
pictures a few years ago.
Well, this weekend I was at powwow and met the first recipient of the Frank 
Hibbens research grant.A building at University of New Mexico ha also been 
named in his memory.
I suppose my own work on impact events will finally be recognized about 2070 or 
so.
good hunting, everyone,
E.P.__

Re: [meteorite-list] TODAY: Meteorite lecture at UA-Lunar & Planetary Lab

   Ms. Hill,

    Thank you!!. Excellent. Looking forward to a smooth landing and the 
analyses of findings in a future "Noticed" webinar.
  Again, perfect; history, progress, procedural processes and now just 
waiting for the unknown.

**Hello Meteorite friends,


I apologize for the short notice. Here is a lecture of interest for 
in-person or zoom. (One in-person attendee may win a really great door 
prize). See below.


Best regards,

Dolores Hill



*LPL Evening Lecture*

Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2023

7:00p.m.

Kuiper 308 or Zoom webinar 

*Dr. Tom Zega*

Professor, Lunar and Planetary Laboratory


  *Relics of a Time Long Past: Deciphering the Origins of Our
  Planetary System Through Analysis of Returned Samples*

Our solar system formed from a spinning cloud of gas and dust some 4.5 
billion years ago. Our understanding of this early solar nebula has 
largely been developed through the decades-long study of meteorites, 
rocks from asteroids that hurtled through space before eventually 
arriving on Earth. Asteroids are remnants of the earliest days of our 
solar system, representing our most primitive solar system building 
blocks. However, we lack an understanding of which asteroids 
meteorites derive from, meaning we lose important context for 
deciphering the origins of our solar system. This September, NASA 
will, for the first time in its history, return a piece of an 
asteroid. Led by the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary 
Laboratory, the OSIRIS-REx mission will return ≥60 g of carbonaceous 
asteroid Bennu. In my public evening lecture, I will provide an 
overview of meteorites and what they tell us about the solar system as 
well as an overview of this transformative mission, the plan for 
sample analysis, and what we hope to learn about our origins by 
measuring the returned samples.




/This event is free and open to the public./

/All lectures will take place in the University of Arizona/*/ Kuiper 
Space Sciences Lecture Hall room 308 and livestream via Zoom
