Seems strange that it has not been classified or published
in the MetBull which makes me question any of the findings.
If I understand correctly, meteoriticists/researchers cannot
publish papers until the meteorite has been published in the
MetBull.

The Day The Internet Stood Still
By Brian Dunbar
July 2017

Twenty years ago, NASA landed a little rover on Mars . . . and blew up 
the Internet. As people clamored for pictures - overwhelming servers 
and bringing network traffic to a standstill - it became obvious 
that something fundamental had changed on how people expected to get 
information 
about NASA missions.

NASA, through its Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, had begun to 
release information online following Voyager's encounters with Uranus 
and Neptune in the 1980s.

"When I arrived at JPL in 1985, I was already active in some of the 
online networks of the day such as CompuServe, so distributing pictures 
and information about NASA missions that way seemed natural," said 
former JPL public information manager Frank O'Donnell. "Also, 
Ron Baalke at JPL was very active posting information to Usenet, the 
Internet-based 
system of newsgroups. At the end of the '80s, I established a dialup bulletin 
board system at JPL, which members of the public could dial into directly 
to download pictures and text files."

Then, in 1993, came the discovery of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, and astronomers' 
realization that it would hit Jupiter in July 1994. By then scientists 
were communicating by e-mail, transferring large files around the world 
and posting their work for discussion on the nascent World Wide Web. Now 
they were using those tools to plan worldwide campaign to observe the 
collision

NASA's public affairs office followed suit, scheduling briefings 
throughout the encounter. (The comet had fragmented into numerous pieces 
that would arrive at Jupiter over several days.) The schedule published 
the time images were expected to be received and when they would be discussed 
on NASA TV.

Naturally, Internet users started banging on NASA websites a few minutes 
before the pictures were scheduled to be downlinked, unable to wait until 
the scheduled release time. As Philip C. Plait wrote in "Bad Astronomy", 
". . . the web nearly screeched to a halt due to the overwhelming 
amount of traffic as people tried to find pictures of the event from different 
observatories."

The excitement wasn't limited to the public. Scientists found themselves 
doing their work live on NASA TV, as this clip from a National Geographic 
special shows. By coincidence it was also around this time that NASA's 
Office of Public Affairs announced that it would no longer mail news releases 
to reporters, but would instead distribute them online.

Crowd-sourced

Shoemaker-Levy made it clear to JPL they would have to prepare for something 
even bigger with Mars Pathfinder. Webmaster David Dubov told the New York 
Times shortly after the landing that he estimated the site would be receiving 
25 million hits a day. (A "hit" is a request for information 
from one computer to another. On the web, a hit can represent the transfer 
of a picture, text or other page element. In the case of Pathfinder's 
deliberately stripped-down site, each web page comprised a few hits.)

Dubov and JPL engineer Kirk Goodall would later revise that estimate to 
60-80 million hits a day, traffic that would crash JPL's networks 
if the servers were hosted there. Goodall set out to build a network of 
mirror sites that could take the traffic off JPL's networks. Working 
with other U.S. science agencies, and ultimately corporations and Internet 
"backbone" providers, he did just that. (In other words, JPL 
crowd-sourced their solution a couple of decades before anyone knew 
crowdsourcing 
was a thing.)

And the solution worked. The site took 30 million hits on landing day, 
July 4. On July 7, the first weekday after the landing, the site got 80 
million hits. In comparison, the year before, the chess match between 
Gary Kasparov and IBM's Deep Blue computer peaked at 21 million hits, 
and the Atlanta Olympics website had topped out at 18 million hits on 
one day.

Direct-to-Digital

"One of the biggest changes with Mars Pathfinder was that it was 
the first mission that fully embraced the Internet as a primary way of 
getting out information to the public," said O'Donnell. "Before 
Pathfinder, the prevailing thinking was that eight-by-ten photo prints 
were the product needed for the public at large."

It's worth remembering how the public got to see NASA images before 
the Internet era. 

[meteorite-list] The Chondrule Conglomerate Endcut For Sale - RARE

[Jeff Kuyken via Meteorite-list]

Hi all,

It's been a long time since I've posted or even actively traded but I have
something special available. Some of you may have already seen it on
Facebook but here is the offer for those of you who haven't:


ONCE IN A DECADE HISTORIC OFFER!
The Chondrule Conglomerate! 
NWA 2892 (H/L3) - 8.8g Endcut

This is a story that starts way back 13 years ago towards the beginning of
the NWA rush in 2002. Rob Elliot ended up with a tiny ~50g stone he dubbed
the Chondrule Conglomerate. It was like nothing anyone had seen previously
with its multi-coloured 'molten chondrules' and no visible matrix! The few
slices from that stone sold out in hours at $250/g. Fast forward a year or
two and a second 104g stone showed up and a year later the final 75g stone.
No further stones have ever been found in the last decade since then. I
ended up with most of that final stone and all my other slices sold out
within hours to my private mailing list when being offered at $225/g. This
is the last available specimen!

This low-TKW meteorite started conversations and debate among scientific
circles as it contradicted the commonly held belief that chondrules were
formed before accretion. This meteorite proved that it actually happened
much faster than previously thought and that accretion actually started
DURING the chondrule-forming event. It helped change our understanding of
the solar system's early formation.

I don't want to sell this piece but I have another opportunity I'd like to
invest in so I am making this available. it's not cheap but the best never
is. If this piece does not sell in the next week or so, then it may not be
offered again. I have not seen this meteorite available again since the
original offerings around 10 years or so ago. 

For more info on the meteorite, please take a look at this page:
http://www.meteorites.com.au/favourite/august2005.html

Price: $2200 including door-to-door traceable courier delivery anywhere in
the world.

[meteorite-list] Australian Monash University Meteorite Recovery Program is under threat

[Jeff Kuyken via Meteorite-list]

Hi all,

Some of you may have seen me post this on Facebook already but for those of
you who haven't, unfortunately the Australian Monash University Meteorite
Recovery program is under threat of being cancelled this year due to lack of
funding. This is the same one that I assisted with in 2012  2013 so I have
seen firsthand the contributions this team makes and what they are doing to
further Australian meteoritical science. In fact, over the past several
years, this program has been responsible for discovering around 20% of all
of Australia's meteorite finds. 

So this year, with funding having run out, the team is turning to the public
and meteorite community for help. For those of you who would like to
consider helping or would even just like to learn a bit more about the
program, please see the link below. There is plenty of information there
about the program and also how this crowd funding would contribute to
another successful year.

Dear collectors
Jarkko Kettunen a meteorite collector form Helsinki asked me to post this
information (he couldn't send this)

Hello Meteorite Lovers,
I have had a long time dream to make a website about meteorites. I wanted to
present some meteorite pieces and things related to meteorites in this site.
Finally I have the website ready. This is a collector´s website and you can
check it here:
http://www.littleplanets.fi/
I would also like to thank the people who have helped me with the website:
Tomasz Jakubowski for the idea of this website, photos and comments Tuomas
Uusheimo for super quality photos Jan Woreczko for great photos from our
trip in Western Sahara Pawel Zareba for design and getting this website
together Aki Salmela for excellent poems Pierre-Marie Pele for comments and
pictures Dave Gheesling for comments and Jarmo Moilanen for comments

Any comments are welcome jarkko.kettu...@ajak.fi

[meteorite-list] Massive meteor event over Southeastern Australia

[Jeff Kuyken via Meteorite-list]

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.
