After Rosetta discovered ESA's lost Philae lander lodged in a crevice of Comet 67P, it has also discovered complicated organic molecules on the comet's surface. Rosetta performed all these amazing achievements right before it runs out of fuel and funding. It is expected to crash into the comet's surface, marking the grand finale of its mission, according to Gizmodo. Like most space probes and the innovative spacecraft that comes with each of them, Rosetta will also meet its end. But before that happens, it has discovered solid complex organic molecules on the surface of comet 67P -- a vital scientific milestone concerning comets proven for the first time ever." source: http://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/28397/20160909/rosetta-discovered-solid-organic-matter-on-comets-surface-after-locating-lost-lander.htm __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hello Listers I wonder if any have landed? Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Meteorite fireball burns through South Georgia, Florida skies Posted: Tuesday, January 26, 2016 3:05 pm By Terry Richards |CNHI News Service Meteorite fireball burns through South Georgia, Florida skies By Terry Richards CNHI News Service VALDOSTA — Dozens of spotters sighted a fireball burning its way through the skies of South Georgia and North Florida Sunday, and an area astronomer said it might have been a meteorite making landfall in the region. More than 100 reports of an "extremely bright daytime fireball" around 10:25 a.m. had been submitted to the American Meteor Society, according to the group's website. Most of the sightings were to the east and southeast of Valdosta, though some sightings were made in the Tallahassee, Florida area to Valdosta's west, according to a map on the group’s website. Dr. Martha Leake of the physics, astronomy and geosciences department at Valdosta State University said she was alerted to the fireball by Dr. William Cooke, a VSU graduate and head of the NASA Meteoroid Environment Office at Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. "Apparently, Doppler weather radar tracked it down to an altitude of a mile," she said, indicating "significant material on the ground." Leake said the lack of sightings in and around Valdosta might have been due to the position of the sun at the time. The potential impact area would be south of Fargo in Clinch County, Georgia, and northeast of White Springs, Florida, Leake said. "I suspect some of it wound up in the (Okefenokee) swamp or on farmland south of the swamp," she said. http://www.tiftongazette.com/news/meteorite-fireball-burns-through-south-georgia-florida-skies/article_3217f822-c468-11e5-b002-af9d79b1b417.html __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Records of scientific tests done at the time show that, based on orbits at the time 1685 Toro , which is also known as Earth's second satellite, was calculated by experts to be the most likely origin of the meteor which injured her. __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Fall Over Eastern Turkish Village: Poor Villagers Make Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars After Black Stones From Space Rain Down
Hello Ruben and John I think with any fall it will be over priced but in a few months the value should fall. To be honest there isn't any thing special with the actual fall. The only thing that might cause this to go up in price is some scientist coins up a new chemical in this type of meteorite. Howardites are lead to be from from Vest. Not including HED/ Vesta meteorite there are over 942 meteorites from there. How many more do collecters need to collect from one body. Like for me, all I need is one lunar meteorite and only one or 2 meteorites from Mars. At any rate, it will be exciting to see the write up and anything else becomes of this fall.

[meteorite-list] You Never Knew You Wanted a Vodka Filtered Through Meteorites
Hello Listers I wonder if this vodka is filter with Martian meteorites? Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com You Never Knew You Wanted a Vodka Filtered Through Meteorites Crystal Skull Vodka was already pretty fun, but one thing it didn't have: actual filtering through crystal skulls. And while Outer Space Vodka was not, in fact, filtered in outer space, it used the next best thing: naturally occurring space junk, aka meteorites. Besides, apparently whiskey brewed in space smells and tastes like burnt rubber. A lot of vodkas, especially on the bottom of the shelf, are filtered through charcoal, a form of carbon. But only a small portion of meteorites are made of carbon – many are silicon materials or nickel and iron metallic meteors. The latter is usually the type of thing filters are keeping out. Silicon, on the other hand, is used in more recent filtration systems. So, while online information about Outer Space Vodka is ... scant (it has a 6 follower Twitter account, but no official website), we're assuming that silicon meteorites are used, or the meteorite filtration process is a gimmick. But of course, it's ALL a gimmick, that's the point. But this gimmick is much, much less expensive than Crystal Skull Vodka, and still has a goofy bottle made to look like a green alien head, though UFO enthusiasts will tell you they actually have grey skin, but they also believe the president is a reptilian, so what do they know? It retails for $29.99, but you can get a whole case here for $161 and get your Christmas shopping out of the way. source:http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a17997/meteorite-filtered-vodka/ __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Nasa Cassini: Enceladus' core 'like a primitive meteorite that can host alien life forms'
Hello Listers I wonder if I have a meteorite from Enceladus? Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Nasa Cassini: Enceladus' core 'like a primitive meteorite that can host alien life forms' By Hannah Osborne | International Business Times The core of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus appears to have the conditions necessary for alien life to form beneath the surface, scientists have said. Researchers conducting laboratory experiments mimicking reactions known to take place on Enceladus have said the moon's core is similar to a primitive meteorite. Yasuhito Sekine and colleagues from the University of Tokyo simulated the generation of tiny silica-rich particles that are known to originate from inside Enceladus's crust. These particles were detected in plumes of ice and suggested water-rock interactions are taking place deep inside the moon. Publishing their findings in the journal Nature Communications, the authors note it has long been suggested Enceladus has a subsurface ocean. The discovery of silica nanoparticles show there are hydrothermal reactions taking place at the interior of the moon. To find out more about these reactions, the team carried out laboratory experiments to reconstruct the conditions of the reactions. Their findings showed that to form silica particles, the moon's core had to be similar to that of carbonaceous chondrites - some of the most primitive known meteorites. The team experimented with gasses similar to those seen in plumes coming from Enceladus. They were able to create liquids at the conditions found on the moon and say they are consistent with the formation of the minerals serpentine and sapnite – both of which are found on primitive meteorites. If Enceladus' core does have this predicted composition, it would mean the moon formed very shortly after the formation of the solar system, or that this activity was triggered by a recent heating event. Furthermore, the scientists say that the reaction conditions would suggest hydrogen production is taking place – a finding that would mean there is energy for life to form beneath the icy surface. "Under the required conditions, hydrogen production would proceed efficiently, which could provide chemical energy for chemoautotrophic life," they wrote.

Tom Kapitany believed it was only a matter of time before more meteorites were unearthed as areas of Botanic Ridge were developed. The Acacia estate, being built near the intersection of Browns and Craig roads, was one of the hottest prospects for meteorites, Mr Kapitany said. Any finds could be quite valuable — scientifically and financially — for those lucky enough to dig them up, with prices ranging from $3000-$5000 a kilogram. “The area now being opened is the one closest to where the largest of the dozen meteorites so far found came to Earth in a shower some time before European settlement,” Mr Kapitany said. “I would rate it as the hottest stretch along the line stretching roughly from Pakenham to Pearcedale. source: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/south-east/geologist-rates-cranbourne-south-strip-a-hotspot-for-scientific-treasure-trove-of-undiscovered-meteorites/news-story/8b4a01009a0ca8b6194b75c49b1c9687?nk=1c4f088419f60cbb061d14b77c60b6e7-1445972452 __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk-like meteorites may strike Earth twice this century
Hello Listers, Chelyabinsk-like meteorites may strike Earth twice this century Source: REX The threat of an asteroid or meteorite attack on Earth is still relevant, Professor of the Ural Federal University, Victor Grokhovsky believes. According to the scientist, large celestial bodies "attack" planet Earth approximately three times in 100 years. Therefore, we may witness another meteorite attack, similar to the one that occurred in the sky above Chelyabinsk, Russia. "In this century, the first large meteorite exploded in the sky over Chelyabinsk. It is quite possible that objects similar to the Chelyabinsk meteorite may strike Earth once or twice this century," the professor told TASS, Pravda.Ru says. Grokhovsky explained that his theory was based on the statistical data of meteorite attacks on Earth in the last hundreds of years. According to Grokhovski, scientists do not know much about the threats that planet Earth may encounter in space.

Hello Listers Great read, enjoy :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Salinas man finds meteorites in Nevada Scott Harlan 7:38 a.m. PDT August 15, 2015 My interest in geology probably started with my father who was a petroleum geologist. We would go to gem and mineral shows together and look at all of the spectacular specimens. Later as an adult, our family often incorporated some kind of rock hounding in our vacations. We hunted for fossil fish in Wyoming, trilobites in Utah and Herkimer diamonds in New Jersey. This was something everyone in our family could do with really equal chances of success regardless of age. There is a sense of discovery when you find something that no man has ever seen before. In 2011, there was a witnessed meteorite fall near Sutter’s Mill in California. It was a large fireball and the speeding meteorite fragments appeared on weather radar, so there was good definition for where to look for meteorites on the ground. My brother and I went up to Lotus, an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, and searched for a couple days, but we did not find anything. Many people did find meteorites from that fall, however, and this sparked my interest in meteorite hunting.

Hello Listers Well I just want to meteorites please :) Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Like meteorites, lightning bolts can reshape rocks Around the globe, lightning flashes 44 times a second. Contrast that with meteorite impacts, which occur just five to 10 times per year. Yet according to a new study led by Penn geologist Reto Gieré, both natural phenomena can do the same, unusual thing: deform rocks at the atomic level. “It’s like if someone pushes you, you rearrange your body to be comfortable,” says Gieré, professor and chair of the Department of Earth and Environmental Science in the School of Arts Sciences. “The mineral does the same thing.” Gieré, who embarked on the study with researchers from Germany and Australia, discovered the similarity in a sample of quartz from a rock outcropping in southern France. The rock had been struck by lightning and fractured. The researchers could see that the area in and around the fracture was covered in a distinctive black coating. source: http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/current/2015-08-13/latest-news/meteorites-lightning-bolts-can-reshape-rocks __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Dave Reneke, our resident space expert reckons it may have been a meteor, possibly from the Perseid meteor shower. Curtin University's geology researchers are tracking meteors using a new app they have developed called 'Fireballs in the sky'. The app is the first of it's kind and it allows people to submit sightings of alleged meteors to the university. Jay Ridgewell is Curtin University's Geoscience Outreach Officer and she says the app is easy to use, you just hold your smartphone up and tap where the meteor started in the sky and where it ended. Curtin University then gets the data and goes out in search of meteorite samples in the area where the sighting is reported. Jay says that most meteorite samples are the size of your fist and the best ones look like fireworks across the sky. Meteorites help us understand what our earth is made of and Jay says they are like crumbs from the beginning of our solar system.

She’s starting a lab at Missouri University of Science and Technology this summer that will test space rocks for gases—if she finds enough gas, there could be a future for rocket gas stations in space. “If you can stop at a gas station, a gas asteroid, it would make [space travel] more efficient,” Gertsch says. “You wouldn’t have to carry all your fuel.” What’s the magic gas ingredient inside the space rocks? Gertsch will have to bake the meteorites to find out exactly what kinds of gases they give off, and how much, but research suggests some of the rocks have as much as 22 percent water in them, and gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/hilarybrueck/2015/07/31/how-meteorites-could-fuel-a-gas-station-in-outer-space/ __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Money had been put in by both Republican and Democratic presidents and Congresses because we wanted to know more about what this meant. And in the years since, hundreds and thousands of jobs have been created and many millions of dollars have been generated for our economy,” Clinton said. “I think we’re just at the beginning of trying to understand what is a black hole? Why is it there? What is in it? What does it mean for us?

[meteorite-list] The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt
Hello Listers In celebrating asteroid day I have an article that covers the topic on the asteroid belt. down below is the abstract and a link to the pdf file. Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Abstract The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt Francesca E. DeMeo, Conel M. O'D. Alexander, Kevin J. Walsh, Clark R. Chapman, Richard P. Binzel (Submitted on 16 Jun 2015) The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measurement of physical characterization. This explosion of data has allowed us to create a new global picture of the Main Asteroid Belt. Put in context with meteorite measurements and dynamical models, a new and more complete picture of Solar System evolution has emerged. The question has changed from What was the original compositional gradient of the Asteroid Belt? to What was the original compositional gradient of small bodies across the entire Solar System? No longer is the leading theory that two belts of planetesimals are primordial, but instead those belts were formed and sculpted through evolutionary processes after Solar System formation. This article reviews the advancements on the fronts of asteroid compositional characterization, meteorite measurements, and dynamical theories in the context of the heliocentric distribution of asteroid compositions seen in the Main Belt today. This chapter also reviews the major outstanding questions relating to asteroid compositions and distributions and summarizes the progress and current state of understanding of these questions to form the big picture of the formation and evolution of asteroids in the Main Belt. Finally, we briefly review the relevance of asteroids and their compositions in their greater context within our Solar System and beyond.

[meteorite-list] Does anyone buy entire meteorite colletions?
Hello Listers and Don From my understanding there are few dealers that will buy whole collections, it depends on the price and what you have. Now if your looking to sell fast that's the best way to go, but your going to loose a lot in what you paid on your collection. Lets say you spent 100,000 and if I was a dealer I would offer you 15,000 to start the offering and I wouldn't go higher than 20,000 to 25,000. But again, that depends on the collection. I would suggest this Don, take out the high end ticket items and sell them alone and group different meteorites and sell those as a whole LOTS. This way you can save some time on selling your collection and also get a good return. After your done selling off your collection, will you still be collecting meteorites and using the money earned to buy a different collection? If that's the case, I would do trades cause it can be a win win for both parties on some of the meteorites you have.

It sped towards the surface at 45,000 miles per hour, and slammed into the lush woodlands of North America. The impact left a giant hole—590 feet deep and three-quarters of a mile wide—in the landscape of what is now northern Arizona. Today, we know the site as Meteor Crater. It has fascinated generations of people, but we are still only just beginning to understand asteroids, the phenomenon that excavated this remarkable location.

The researchers examined samples from six Martian meteorites that had fallen to Earth. The team crushed the rocks and then analyzed the gases that emerged using a mass spectrometer. The meteorites were found to contain gases similar to the composition of the Martian atmosphere; they also contained methane.

[meteorite-list] Why Dark Does Not Exist And This is Why
Hello Listers Space is finite like a drop of water in a glass, once it hits its outer limits like all things, it oscillates and implodes. Why would space be continuum? If we believe in the big bang theory we must believe in a finite space, if we didn’t, the big theory would not exist. It is not that dark matter holds the continuum in space; it’s that the oscillation of the big bang theory that holds true to our universe. All things are circular, why wouldn’t space be the same? Space is finite, like a drop of blood to the sun. All things oscillate to the epicenter.

Re: [meteorite-list] Lunar meteorites selling for peanuts
Hello Listers, I agree, its supply and demand. Heck, I got a Martian for $125 per gram. As for planataries, this is my theory... All you really need is a couple meteorites from each body and then you move on. True, there is scientific value to be had, but that's the case with every meteorite. The question is, is if it hold's historic merit and science is historic merit as well if its important. For me, I would like to get a Nakhla again, I traded mine, but till then, ill hold onto my NWA martian. As for lunar meteorites are concerned, if it looks like a lunar and acts like a lunar point me in the direction to the best look example for the cheapest price :) Now here's the ticker Lets say someone finds a lunar meteorite in USA would it be more then NWA lunar? In my book no, it would be the same. Even if it was some new classification I think it would be the same.? Cause at the end of the day, its still from the moon. How many more meteorites can one collect from the moon? Now if its the first lunar meteorite fall that can cause an up roar and if it hit something or killed a horse or cow, or hits some lady in the hip, I think it would be a pretty penny. But again, its still from the moon and each year more and more meteorites keep coming from the moon. Just think, in 20 years from now, there will be 200 more lunar meteorites on the market Just say. But I would say this, the first lunar fall will be historic and when that happens you better buy up all the lunar meteorites you can, cause the price of a lunar meteorite will go back up to $1000 plus per gram and more. Now back to martian meteorites... They can hold merit, black beauty can sell for a lot, but has dropped in price, while Nakhla has stayed its ground. When science discovers life on Mars, martian meteorites will go up in value over night and lot of people will make some coins if they cash out what they have, only time will tell with martian meteorites. I guess at the end of the day, we need some big planetary event to make these peanuts into pecans :) and when that happens meteorite collecting will go full throttle in collecting and price.

As time goes on, more and more planetaries are coming out of the hot deserts, especially the NWA DCA. In recent months, we have seen over a dozen new planetaries (including several lunars) that have been approved in the Met Bulletin. New collectors are coming in to the hobby on a regular basis, but the supply of planetaries available to these collectors has stayed steady or increased. Old offerings are absorbed into collections and vanish from the open market, but they are replaced with numerous new offerings that are being sold by an ever-increasing number of dealers. In the past, the majority of planetaries were held by a relatively-small group of veteran dealers. Now, there are many middle/moderate-size dealers who are offering lunars and Martians. In order to be competitive, dealers need to better control the supply/market (not likely) or lower prices to attract buyers to these new planetaries - many of which are not that remarkable in comparison to previous offerings. For every new Nakhlite or Black Beauty, there are a dozen new (sometimes unpaired) shergottites hitting the market. I won't mention names, but there are a couple of big collector/dealers who are buying up multiple planetary masses in recent years and the majority of that material does not appear to have hit the open market yet. If that material is ever released into the market, it would depress the asking prices even further.

[meteorite-list] A crowdfunding campaign is trying to save us from life-threatening asteroids
Hello Listers I think we need to work on the human race before we worry about asteroids Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com A crowdfunding campaign is trying to save us from life-threatening asteroids If a huge asteroid slammed into the Earth with crushing force tomorrow, it could swiftly bring an end to all humankind. Luckily, that's not going to happen – our asteroid analysis and predictive techniques are advanced enough to tell when a devastating impact might happen in the near future. But that's not to say an asteroid like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65m years couldn’t come hurtling towards us during our life times. These super-impacts happen extremely rarely, so generally everyone's fairly chilled out about it. The smaller ones, on the other hand, are much more frequent – asteroids with diameters of 20m or over come within close vicinity of the Earth once every 25 years , yet we have failed to invest in the infrastructure required to spot them before they arrive. Recognising this dearth of ways to protect ourselves from asteroid attacks, researchers at Iowa State University’s Asteroid Deflection Research Center have launched a crowd-sourcing campaign to raise funds for a new kind of defence system. Called the Emergency Asteroid Defence Project (EADP), the hope is to build a machine capable of identifying and deflecting incoming objects at very short notice. The Hypervelocity Asteroid Intercept Vehicle (HAIV) would be made of two parts, working together to kick the asteroid in the opposite direction to Earth and then obliterate it into lots of harmless pieces in space. But in order to get the project under way, the researchers must raise $200,000 (£127,000) through their campaign on Indiegogo. This will go towards designing the blueprints for the vehicle and establishing how it will be built. As an incentive, funders are being offered gifts such as astronaut ice cream and a private dinner with the head of the team. source: https://email22.secureserver.net/webmail.php?login=1 __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hello Listers, Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Do We Have Pieces of Pallas on Earth? By: Bob King | May 6, 2015 With all the excitement over the dwarf planets Ceres and Pluto, it would be easy to overlook the asteroid 2 Pallas. But if you did, you'd miss a fine opportunity to observe an asteroid that, like Vesta, has delivered pieces of itself to Earth as meteorites. Pallas, discovered in March 1802, was originally considered a planet, as were all the early asteroid discoveries. But by the mid-1800s, with 15 new planets on the roster and more in the offing, astronomers thought it prudent to reclassify these small bodies as minor planets or asteroids. Sound familiar? With the discovery of large, Pluto-sized asteroids in the distant Kuiper Belt beginning in 1992, Pluto suddenly had company, stirring the International Astronomical Union to re-brand the planet and its ilk as dwarf planets in August 2006. - See more at: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/do-we-have-pieces-of-pallas-on-earth05062015/#sthash.du2fSovl.dpuf __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Moon-forming impact leftscars in distant asteroids
Hello Listers I wonder what 32 meteorite samples they have used for this theory? Enjoy! Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Moon-forming impact left scars in distant asteroids Planetary collision dated through analysis of meteorites by Eric Hand It was the biggest cataclysm the solar system has ever seen. About 100 million years after the planets began to take shape, a Mars-sized body crashed into the proto-Earth, creating a halo of hot debris that coalesced into the moon. There was collateral damage, it turns out. Scientists now suspect that fragments of the giant impact were flung all the way to the fledgling asteroid belt. When this planetary shrapnel crashed into bodies there, it shock heated them, leaving an imprint that can still be detected billions of years later in meteorites. On page 321, planetary scientists show that these shock-heating signatures provide a new way to date the moon’s formation, pegging it at 105 million years after the beginning of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. The result could help settle debates about the age of the moon and suggests that meteorites, which are mostly fragments of asteroids, could harbor other evidence of tumult in the inner solar system. “The asteroid belt is almost primordial,” says Bill Bottke, a planetary scientist at Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and lead author of the new study. “A lot of objects there have been witness to activity in the inner solar system. We now have a way to probe that.” Scientists have long tried to pin down the age of the moon by analyzing lunar samples returned from the Apollo missions. But because of disagreements about the isotope systems used for dating, the calculated ages vary from about 30 million years after the start of the solar system to 100 million or even 200 million years younger. A more precise age would help scientists work out when the bumper-car process of planet formation began winding down. The moon-forming impact is thought to have come late in the process, because the composition of Earth’s mantle reflects only a short period of impacts by smaller bodies after the mammoth collision. Researchers who study the giant impact have typically ignored the bits that didn’t end up in the moon. But Bottke realized that an event so large would have created fragments moving fast enough to escape the collective gravity of the Earthmoon system. “You create this huge swarm of material,” he says. His models suggest that 10 billion kilometer-sized bodies would have been flung out into the solar system— where many of them could strike asteroids. Asteroids constantly collide with each other, but at relatively slow speeds. Some high-speed projectiles from the giant impact, in contrast, would have struck at speeds upward of 10 kilometers a second, melting and transforming asteroid minerals into darker, glassy materials. The shock heating would also have altered a standard radio active “clock” used for dating, in which a radioactive isotope of potassium decays into argon that remains trapped in the crystal structure of the rock. “If you heat it up enough, argon moves through the crystal structures, and you can reset [the clock],” says study co-author Tim Swindle, director of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Searching through the literature for meteorites that had already been dated, the team found 34 samples that fit their profile: those with shock-heating alteration and ancient argon ages. A significant fraction of these 34 samples have ages that cluster around 105 million years after the solar system began; that, the team believes, is the age of the moon-forming impact. Other scientists are excited about the method but worried about the small sample size. The authors used their own judgment to identify meteorites with the right type of shock heating, and their 34 meteorite samples could hail from as few as five or six parent asteroid bodies. “Is that really representative of everything the asteroid belt saw?” asks Sarah Stewart, a planetary scientist at the University of California, Davis. “It’s not a robust conclusion, but it’s a robust method.” Swindle says the new moon age estimate—a signal “strong enough to look like more than a curiosity”—will improve as his lab and others calculate dates for more shockheated meteorites. And Bottke hopes the method will be used for more than just dates. He says meteoriticists should return to these 34 samples and inspect them carefully. Perhaps amid the veins of glassy materials are fragments of the giant impactor, or the proto-Earth itself. “There may still be traces of the primordial Earth in the asteroid belt, and they may be in our meteorite collections today,” Bottke says. “To me that’s fun.” __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list

[meteorite-list] Attention treasure-hunters! €10k pieces of meteorite fall in Ireland
Hello Listers, I am glad I am a meteorite collector... For many reasons :) Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Attention treasure-hunters! €10k pieces of meteorite fall in Ireland An Irish person could be in for a cash windfall after pieces of meteorite worth up to €10,000 each fell from the skies at the weekend. Hundreds of people witnessed a fireball streaking across the Irish skies at approximately 10.10pm on Sunday evening. According to David Moore, editor of the Astronomy Ireland magazine, each piece of meteorite could fetch up to ten times the price of gold in the collectors' market. At the current price of gold, this means that a piece of meteorite rock weighing approximately 28 grams could make the lucky person a cool €10,000. It is believed that two meteorites land in Ireland every year, but they are rarely visible to the naked eye. Astronomy Ireland have received hundreds of reports of the sighting, with coast guards in the south-west of the country getting mistaken reports of 'flares being released'. Experts believe this meteorite, seen streaking from Kerry towards Donegal, could have been as large as a car while still whole. There is a chance some parts of this meteorite survive, and we think it may have fallen somewhere in the north of the country, Astronomy Ireland's David Moore told RTE Radio One's Morning Ireland as he appealed for people to share their stories of the sighting. We'd ask people to get in contact with us while it's still fresh in their mind. Check your CCTV cameras if you have them, a photographic report would be worth hundreds of eye witness reports, he said. The price of meteorites and what they're worth would come from the collectors and what they're prepared to pay, he continued. It is a big trade and Irish meteorites are very rare. It's a small island, this doesn't happen very often. source: http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/attention-treasurehunters-10k-pieces-of-meteorite-fall-in-ireland-31178369.html __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Dating the moon-forming impact event with meteorites
Hello Listers Enjoy PS I have this issue on PDF Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com MOON DAILY Dating the moon-forming impact event with meteorites by Staff Writers Tucson AZ (SPX) Apr 22, 2015 Through a combination of data analysis and numerical modeling work, researchers have found a record of the ancient Moon-forming giant impact observable in stony meteorites. Their work will appear in the April 2015 issue of the Journal Science. The work was done by NASA Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI) researchers led by Principal Investigator Bill Bottke of the Institute for the Science of Exploration Targets (ISET) team at the Southwest Research Institute and included Tim Swindle, director of the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. The inner Solar System's biggest known collision was the Moon-forming giant impact between a large protoplanet and the proto-Earth. The timing of this giant impact, however, is uncertain, with the ages of the most ancient lunar samples returned by the Apollo astronauts still being debated. Numerical simulations of the giant impact indicate this event not only created a disk of debris near Earth that formed the Moon, but it also ejected huge amounts of debris completely out of the Earth-Moon system. The fate of this material, comprising as much as several percent of an Earth mass, has not been closely examined until recently. However, it is likely some of it blasted main belt asteroids, with a record plausibly left behind in their near-surface rocks. Collisions on these asteroids in more recent times delivered these shocked remnants to Earth, which scientists have now used to date the age of the Moon. The research indicates numerous kilometer-sized fragments from the giant impact struck main belt asteroids at much higher velocities than typical main belt collisions, heating the surface and leaving behind a permanent record of the impact event. Evidence that the giant impact produced a large number of kilometer-sized fragments can be inferred from laboratory and numerical impact experiments, the ancient lunar impact record itself, and the numbers and sizes of fragments produced by major main belt asteroid collisions. Once the team concluded that pieces of the Moon-forming impact hit main belt asteroids and left a record of shock heating events in some meteorites, they set out to deduce both the timing and the relative magnitude of the bombardment. By modeling the evolution of giant impact debris over time and fitting the results to ancient impact heat signatures in stony meteorites, the team was able to infer the Moon formed about 4.47 billion years ago, in agreement with many previous estimates. The most ancient Solar System materials found in meteorites are about one hundred million years older than this age.

[meteorite-list] Early Earth May Have Swallowed a Mercury-Like Planet
Hello Listers Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Early Earth May Have Swallowed a Mercury-Like Planet The jostling of the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn in the solar system’s early days may have delivered a Mercury-type building block to baby Earth, providing the planet with the chemistry to heat its convecting, liquid metal core to this day, a new study shows. Play Video The Mystery Of The Earth's Core Explained We've been to the moon but we've barely scratched the surface of our own planet! The research, which is based on computer models, resolves two long-standing mysteries about Mother Nature's recipe for Earth. The first is why the planet has an abundance of the rare-earth metals samarium (Sm) and neodymium (Nd) compared meteorites, which are believed to be samples of Earth’s building blocks. The second riddle is how the planet’s metallic core has stayed hot enough over the eons to continue convection, a process that generates Earth’s protective magnetic shield. Oxford University researchers Anke Wohlers and Bernard Wood got the idea to incorporate a sulfur-rich body like Mercury into Earth-formation computer simulations after making connections between colleagues’ previous studies relating rare earth elements, including samarium and neodymium, to sulfides; the elements’ chemical mismatch between Earth and meteorites; and observations from NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft that Mercury has high levels of sulfur. “Then we had to do the experiments to test the idea,” Wood told Discovery News. The models show the impacting body would have to have been 20 to 40 percent as big as Earth to produce the required chemical mix. The crash could have happened as the building blocks for Earth were melding together, or it could have been the hypothesized Mars-sized impactor, named Theia, that hit Earth and led to the formation of the moon. With Jupiter on the move, the inner solar system was like a “mixing bowl,” Wood said. ANALYSIS: The Incredible Shrinking Mercury “Under these circumstances, Mercury-like bodies could have been scattered both outwards and inwards. One could envision an early Mercury-like Earth or even a much later collision with a Mercury-like body, such as that which formed the moon,” Wood wrote in an email. to read more about this article click on the link: http://news.discovery.com/space/early-earth-may-have-swallowed-a-mercury-like-planet-150415.htm __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] The new science of the origins of life
Hello Listers Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com The new science of the origins of life After being pelted with meteorites for half-a-billion years, life began to appear on Earth. . After being pelted with meteorites for half-a-billion years, life began to appear on Earth. The miraculous leap happened around four billion years ago, when the atmosphere was blanketed with lethal gases and the ocean was thick with iron. Wendy Zukerman examines how life formed in these conditions and why it didn’t appear anywhere else nearby. Despite phenomenal advances in modern science, the fundamental question of why life started on this planet remains unanswered. Over the past century, however, scientists have slowly been piecing together the story of our very first ancestors. They have been cooking with chemicals they believe the early Earth was swimming in and they are forging the molecules which, over billions of years, are thought to have evolved to become, well, you and me. There is still much to understand, however. ‘There are huge difficulties in looking back to see exactly how life did get established,’ says Matthew Powner, a professor of chemistry at University College London. ‘The rock record runs out before life was established.’ For life to have begun, something that could encode information and replicate itself was necessary. A molecule—or perhaps a group of molecules—would have done the trick. Once these substances could replicate themselves, it’s believed that natural selection would have stepped in to create new versions of the ‘Great Starter’. ‘Slight errors in that replication give rise to slight variations on the theme,’ says Powner. ‘That can give them an evolutionary advantage which can then be potentially passed on more readily, and then you have, effectively, an evolutionary arms race.’ These Generation 2.0 molecules, for example, would be better equipped to multiply and survive than their predecessors. What was that first ingredient that kicked off life on Earth, though?

[meteorite-list] A primordial origin for the compositional similarity between the Earth and the Moon
Hello Listers More info on the Earth and Moon. Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com A primordial origin for the compositional similarity between the Earth and the Moon Most of the properties of the Earth–Moon system can be explained by a collision between a planetary embryo (giant impactor) and the growing Earth late in the accretion process1, 2, 3. Simulations show that most of the material that eventually aggregates to form the Moon originates from the impactor1, 4, 5. However, analysis of the terrestrial and lunar isotopic compositions show them to be highly similar6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. In contrast, the compositions of other Solar System bodies are significantly different from those of the Earth and Moon12, 13, 14, suggesting that different Solar System bodies have distinct compositions. This challenges the giant impact scenario, because the Moon-forming impactor must then also be thought to have a composition different from that of the proto-Earth. Here we track the feeding zones of growing planets in a suite of simulations of planetary accretion15, to measure the composition of Moon-forming impactors. We find that different planets formed in the same simulation have distinct compositions, but the compositions of giant impactors are statistically more similar to the planets they impact. A large fraction of planet–impactor pairs have almost identical compositions. Thus, the similarity in composition between the Earth and Moon could be a natural consequence of a late giant impact. source: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v520/n7546/full/nature14333.html __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Top NASA scientists say the answer is almost certainly “no.” “I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years,” Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said at a public panel Tuesday in Washington. “We know where to look, we know how to look, and in most cases we have the technology,” she said. Jeffery Newmark, interim director of heliophysics at the agency put it this way: “It’s definitely not an if, it’s a when.” However, if visions of alien invasions are dancing in your head, you can let those go. “We are not talking about little green men,” Stofan said. “We are talking about little microbes.” Over the course of an hourlong presentation, NASA leaders described a flurry of recent discoveries that suggest we are closer than ever to figuring out where we might find life in the solar system and beyond. For example, Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA, cited a study that analyzed the atmosphere above Mars’ polar ice caps and suggests that 50 percent of the planet’s northern hemisphere once had oceans up to a mile deep, and that it had that water for a long period of time — up to 1.2 billion years. source: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/nasa-we%e2%80%99ll-find-alien-life-in-10-to-20-years/ar-AAayMCL?ocid=ansLATimes11 __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Small Near-Earth Asteroids as a Source of Meteorites
Jiří Borovička, Pavel Spurný, Peter Brown
(Submitted on 11 Feb 2015)
Small asteroids intersecting Earth's orbit can deliver extraterrestrial
rocks to the Earth, called meteorites. This process is accompanied by a
luminous phenomena in the atmosphere, called bolides or fireballs.
Observations of bolides provide pre-atmospheric orbits of meteorites,
physical and chemical properties of small asteroids, and the flux (i.e.
frequency of impacts) of bodies at the Earth in the centimeter to
decameter size range. In this chapter we explain the processes occurring
during the penetration of cosmic bodies through the atmosphere and
review the methods of bolide observations. We compile available data on
the fireballs associated with 22 instrumentally observed meteorite
falls. Among them are the heterogeneous falls Almahata Sitta (2008 TC3)
and Bene\v{s}ov, which revolutionized our view on the structure and
composition of small asteroids, the P\v{r}\'{\i}bram-Neuschwanstein
orbital pair, carbonaceous chondrite meteorites with orbits on the
asteroid-comet boundary, and the Chelyabinsk fall, which produced a
damaging blast wave. While most meteoroids disrupt into fragments during
atmospheric flight, the Carancas meteoroid remained nearly intact and
caused a crater-forming explosion on the ground.

[meteorite-list] Link between the potentially hazardous Asteroid (86039) 1999 NC43 and the Chelyabinsk meteoroid tenuous
Hello Listers For those that cant get enough science, here you go :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Link between the potentially hazardous Asteroid (86039) 1999 NC43 and the Chelyabinsk meteoroid tenuous Abstract We explored the statistical and compositional link between Chelyabinsk meteoroid and potentially hazardous Asteroid (86039) 1999 NC43 to investigate their proposed relation proposed by Borovička et al. (Borovička, J., et al. [2013]. Nature 503, 235-237). First, using a slightly more detailed computation we confirm that the orbit of the Chelyabinsk impactor is anomalously close to the Asteroid 1999 NC43. We find ∼(1-3) × 10-4 likelihood of that to happen by chance. Taking the standpoint that the Chelyabinsk impactor indeed separated from 1999 NC43 by a cratering or rotational fission event, we run a forward probability calculation, which is an independent statistical test. However, we find this scenario is unlikely at the ∼(10-3-10-2) level. Secondly, we note that efforts to conclusively prove separation of the Chelyabinsk meteoroid from (86039) 1999 NC43 in the past needs to meet severe criteria: relative velocity ≃1-10 m/s or smaller, and ≃100 km distance (i.e. about the Hill sphere distance from the parent body). We conclude that, unless the separation event was an extremely recent event, these criteria present an insurmountable difficulty due to the combination of strong orbital chaoticity, orbit uncertainty and incompleteness of the dynamical model with respect to thermal accelerations. This situation leaves the link of the two bodies unresolved and calls for additional analyses. With that goal, we revisit the presumed compositional link between (86039) 1999 NC43 and the Chelyabinsk body. Borovička et al. (Borovička, J., et al. [2013]. Nature 503, 235-237) noted that given its Q-type taxonomic classification, 1999 NC43 may pass this test. However, here we find that while the Q-type classification of 1999 NC43 is accurate, assuming that all Q-types are LL chondrites is not. Our experiment shows that not all ordinary chondrites fall under Q-taxonomic type and not all LL chondrites are Q-types. Spectral curve matching between laboratory spectra of Chelyabinsk and 1999 NC43 spectrum shows that the spectra do not match. Mineralogical analysis of Chelyabinsk (LL chondrite) and (8) Flora (the largest member of the presumed LL chondrite parent family) shows that their olivine and pyroxene chemistries are similar to LL chondrites. Similar analysis of 1999 NC43 shows that its olivine and pyroxene chemistries are more similar to L chondrites than LL chondrites (like Chelyabinsk). Analysis of the spectrum using Modified Gaussian Model (MGM) suggests 1999 NC43 is similar to LL or L chondrite although we suspect this ambiguity is due to lack of temperature and phase angle corrections in the model. While some asteroid pairs show differences in spectral slope, there is no evidence for L and LL chondrite type objects fissioning out from the same parent body. We also took photometric observations of 1999 NC43 over 54 nights during two apparitions (2000, 2014). The lightcurve of 1999 NC43 resembles simulated lightcurves of tumblers in Short-Axis Mode (SAM) with the mean wobbling angle 20°-30°. The very slow rotation of 1999 NC43 could be a result of slow-down by the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect. While, a mechanism of the non-principal axis rotation excitation is unclear, we can rule out the formation of asteroid in disruption of its parent body as a plausible cause, as it is unlikely that the rotation of an asteroid fragment from catastrophic disruption would be nearly completely halted. Considering all these facts, we find the proposed link between the Chelyabinsk meteoroid and the Asteroid 1999 NC43 to be unlikely.

[meteorite-list] NASA finds surprising features in Chelyabinsk meteor debris
Hello Listers, Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com NASA finds surprising features in Chelyabinsk meteor debris Researchers at NASA have reported new data revealing some of the mysterious history of the Chelyabinsk meteor. The 20-meter object burst into fragments over the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia over two years ago, but this new data analysis sheds new light on the nature of the meteor. According to a report by Forbes, NASA has revealed that “the meteor’s orbital parent body itself had likely been geologically-impacted as many as a dozen times.” While the impact of the meteor over Earth caused widespread destruction in the area of Chelyabinsk, it only reached the ground in small fragments. Scientists studied two samples of the meteorite, weighing 15 and 20 grams respectively, to garner information about the meteor’s mineral composition and age. These pieces are thought to have come from the outer part of the meteor as it fragmented in Earth’s atmosphere. Based on its composition, the Chelyabinsk object appears to be a chondrite – a stony meteorite that resembles its parent body in composition. The results of NASA’s analysis suggest that the parent body asteroid may have formed about 4.5 billion years ago. However, Kevin Righter of NASA explained that this age estimate was only one of several gauged from different techniques used to calculate age.

But how it formed at the beginnings of the solar system is still a mystery. The newfound mineral is called a quasicrystal because it resembles a crystal, but the atoms are not arranged as regularly as they are in real crystals. The quasicrystal hitched a ride to Earth on a meteorite that zipped from space through Earth's atmosphere and crashed to the ground. That process is generally a violent one that heats up the insides of rocks, making the delicate quasicrystal's survival a surprise. The difference between crystals and quasicrystals can be visualized by imagining a tiled floor, said according to a statement by Princeton University in a press release. Tiles that are six-sided hexagons can fit neatly against each other to cover the entire floor. But five-sided pentagons or 10-sided decagons laid next to each will result in gaps between tiles.

Helloe Listers Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com A research group in the UA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory has found evidence in meteorites that hint at the discovery of a previously unknown region within the swirling disk of dust and gas known as the protoplanetary disk - which gave rise to the planets in our solar system. Led by Kelly Miller, a doctoral student in the lab of Dante Lauretta, the principal investigator of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, the team has found evidence of minerals within meteorites that formed in an environment that was enhanced in oxygen and sulfur and date from a time before the particles stuck together, or accreted, to form larger bodies such as asteroids and planets. Miller will present the data at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, which is held March 16-20 in The Woodlands, Texas. The results are in preparation for publication in a journal, but have not been peer-reviewed yet.

This was the description of an incident that occurred over the skies of Chelyabinsk, Russia on February 15, 2013, one of the best recorded meteoritic events in history. This airburst was photographed and videoed by many people so we have a good record of what occurred, which helped explain the nature of the event. But how do we find out about much older events when modern recordings were not available? A century before Chelyabinsk, a similar event occurred on July 30, 1908, over the remote Siberian forest near Tunguska. That explosion was even more powerful, flattening 80 million trees over an area of 2,000 square kilometres and sending a shock wave around the Earth - twice. It was 19 years before scientists reached the Tunguska site to study the effects of the blast. The apparent lack of a meteorite fuelled speculation about how it formed, from sober suggestions of an exploding comet to more outlandish claims of mini-black holes and crashed alien spacecraft (research confirms it was an exploding meteorite). Meteoric events in Indigenous oral tradition In 1926, the ethnographer Innokenty Suslov interviewed the local Indigenous Evenk people, who still vividly remembered the Tunguska airburst. At the time, a great feud persisted among Evenki clans. One clan called upon a shaman named Magankan to destroy their enemy. On the morning of July 30th, 1908, Magankan sent Agdy, the god of thunder, to demonstrate his power. Many Indigenous cultures attribute meteoritic events to the power of sky beings. The Wardaman people of northern Australia tell of Utdjungon, a being who lives in the Coalsack nebula by the Southern Cross. He will cast a fiery star to the Earth if laws and traditions are not followed. The falling star will cause the earth to shake and the trees to topple. Like the Evenki, it seems the Wardaman have faced Utdjungon's wrath before. The Luritja people of Central Australia also tell of an object that fell to Earth as punishment for breaking sacred law. And we can still see the scars of this event today. source: http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/finding-meteorite-impacts-aboriginal-oral-traditio/2563028/ __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

The criminal, Juan Pedro Sancho Jiménez, had just broken into a house in the Eastside area of Santa Ana, when a meteorite fragment weighting almost ½ pound pierced through the roof of the residence and hit him on the top of the head. The well-known gang member who had already spent eleven years in jail for sexual assault and armed robbery, was killed almost instantly as the meteorite passed through his skull, destroyed his spine and continued its way through many of his vital organs. Officers from the Orange County Sheriff Department arrived on the site only a few minutes after the incident, but the assailant was already dead. source:http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/meteorite-strikes-down-thief-during-armed-robbery/ __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Two years on, source of Russian Chelyabinsk meteor remains elusive
Hello Listers Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Two years on, source of Russian Chelyabinsk meteor remains elusive Two years after a 20-meter rock slammed into the Earth after a meteoroid dramatically fragmented in the atmosphere over the Chelyabinsk region in Russia and injured hundreds of people, its parent asteroid remains elusive, a new paper published in the journal Icarus shows. Astronomers had originally predicted that a 2-km near-Earth asteroid (NEA) designated (86039) 1999 NC43 could be the source body from which the Chelyabinsk meteoroid was ejected prior to its encounter with the Earth. These two bodies shared similar orbits around the Sun, and initial studies suggested even similar compositions, said Planetary Science Institute research scientist Vishnu Reddy, lead author of Link Between the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (86039) 1999 NC43 and the Chelyabinsk Meteoroid Tenuous that appears in Icarus. However, reanalysis of the orbital parameters and spectral data by an international team of researchers led by Reddy has shown that the link between Chelyabinsk and 1999 NC43 is unlikely. The composition of Chelyabinsk meteorite that was recovered after the event is similar to a common type of meteorite called LL chondrites. However, the near-Earth asteroid has a composition that is distinctly different from this, Reddy said. They study also showed that linking specific meteorites to an asteroid is extremely difficult due to the chaotic nature of the orbits of these bodies.

[meteorite-list] UK Scientists: Aliens May Have Sent Space Seeds To Create Life On Earth
Hello Listers I am an ALIEN :) ENJOY Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com UK Scientists: Aliens May Have Sent Space Seeds To Create Life On Earth Scientists in the U.K. have examined a tiny metal circular object, and are suggesting it might be a micro-organism deliberately sent by extraterrestrials to create life on Earth. Don't be fooled by the size of the object in the microscopic image above. It may appear to look like a planet-sized globe, but in fact, it's no bigger than the width of a human hair. The University of Buckingham reports that the minuscule metal globe was discovered by astrobiologist Milton Wainwright and a team of researchers who examined dust and minute matter gathered by a high-flying balloon in Earth's stratosphere. It is a ball about the width of a human hair, which has filamentous life on the outside and a gooey biological material oozing from its centre, Wainwright said, according to Express.co.uk. One theory is it was sent to Earth by some unknown civilization in order to continue seeding the planet with life, Wainwright hypothesizes. That theory comes from a Nobel Prize winner. This seeming piece of science fiction -- called 'directed panspermia' -- would probably not be taken seriously by any scientist were it not for the fact that it was very seriously suggested by the Nobel Prize winner of DNA fame, Francis Crick, said Wainwright. Panspermia is a theory that suggests life spreads across the known physical universe, hitchhiking on comets or meteorites. The idea of directed panspermia was suggested by Crick, a molecular biologist, who was the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA in 1953. Twenty years later, Crick co-wrote -- with biochemist Leslie Orgel -- a scientific paper about directed panspermia.

[meteorite-list] UNM scientist studies the authenticity of meteorites
Hello Listers Enjoy :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com UNM scientist studies the authenticity of meteorites In 2011, Carl Agee received a rock in the mail from a meteorite collector in Morocco. At the time, nobody knew what it was or where it had come from. Even for Agee, director of UNM’s Institute for Meteoritics, the rock’s origin remained a mystery for quite some time. “This collector sent it to me because no one knew what it was, and it took me months of laboratory analyses to figure it out,” Agee said. At the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, he tested the rock’s chemical composition, isotopic composition, and mineralogy to determine its makeup. “From all of those different lines of evidence, the picture that emerged was that it was a meteorite from Mars,” he said. Now, Agee is being funded by NASA to study the meteorite, known as NWA 7034, or “Black Beauty” for its dark color. There are several reasons why NASA is interested in Black Beauty. Tests showed that it contains 10 to 30 times more water than any previously studied Martian sample. Agee and his team also found that the meteorite is composed of a variety of minerals, ranging from 4.4 to 2.1 billion years old. “There are different fragments of the Martian crust all together in the same meteorite in addition to the water, so there’s a record of the surface processes on Mars for about two billion years,” Agee said. Black Beauty is also notable, Agee said, because it is very similar to the rock samples that are currently being collected by the two rovers on Mars, which use a robotic remote sensing technique to identify the rocks’ composition. “Black Beauty finally forms the first tangible meteorite link to the rocks that NASA’s rovers are sampling in outcrops on Mars,” Agee wrote in the Universities Space Research Association’s report for the Eighth International Conference on Mars. He notes that the meteorite provides insight into volcanic activity on the planet, which is one of his research specialties. While Agee is best known for his work in meteoritics, he was originally trained as a geologist, which is how he began researching volcanoes. He said he became interested in planetary geology while working on his doctoral degree at Columbia University. “If you’re trained in geology, planets are like whole new worlds to map out and understand,” Agee said. After finishing at Columbia, he taught at Harvard for eight years before moving to Houston to work at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. He said he came to UNM because he enjoys the intellectual atmosphere of a university. “I have contracts for NASA that I work on, so I’m still involved with them,” Agee said. “In addition to Black Beauty, they have also funded me for years to study the processes of planetary volcanism.” He uses the department’s high-pressure laboratory to simulate the conditions of planetary interiors to study the behavior of magma, he said.

[meteorite-list] Scientists say meteorite found in Morocco is 4.4 billion years old from Mars
Hello Listers Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Scientists say meteorite “Black Beauty” found in Morocco is 4.4 billion years old from Mars by Ben Kochmanon February 2, 2015 Scientists have concluded that the piece of meteorite found in the desert of Morocco is 4.4 billion years old, and definitely came from Mars. And dubbed NWA 7034 – you know, NorthWest Africa – or Black Beauty – because it is predominantly black and not red like normal space rocks from Mars. Mars, usually called the Red Planet because of its characteristic red features will reveal some unusual aspect of itself through Black Beauty. Almost all meteors that fell from Mars were designated as SNC – shergottites, nakhlites, or chassignites – meteors, because they largely consist of igneous rocks made up of cooled volcanic materials. However, researchers at Brown University in Rhode Island and the University of New Mexico who’ve conducted new spectroscopic examinations of the rock say Black Beauty is breccias – a conglomeration of different types of rock that have been fused together in a basaltic matrix. The components of the meteorite chemically match rocks analyzed by NASA rovers on Mars, and this suggests that the stone must have come from the dark crust that underlies Mar’s dusty reddish surface. And if this happens to be the case, then it might be the answer scientists have been looking for in trying to explain why spectrographic examination of SNC meteorites has never quite matched up with spectral data of the Martian surface gathered from space. Reporting their finding in the journal Icarus, “Most samples from Mars are somewhat similar to spacecraft measurements,” said Brown researcher Jack Mustard, “but annoyingly different.” Using an imaging system developed by Massachusetts-based Headwall Photonics to obtain detailed spectral imaging of the entire sample, lead author Kevin Cannon said “Other techniques give us measurements of a dime-sized spot. What we wanted to do was get an average for the entire sample. That overall measurement was what ended up matching the orbital data.” This actually means Black Beauty might belong to the Martian dark plains where the red dust coating is thin and the rocks beneath it exposed. Black Beauty might be a sample of the “bulk background” rocks believed to be hidden underneath the red dust of much of the Martian surface. “Mars is punctured by over 400,000 impact craters greater than 1 km in diameter,” the researchers write. “Because brecciation is a natural consequence of impacts, it is expected that material similar to NWA 7034 has accumulated on Mars over time.” That’s what you’d expect on a planetary surface that has been broken apart and then reassembled by constant bombardment and cosmic impacts, the scientists affirm. “This is showing that if you went to Mars and picked up a chunk of crust, you’d expect it to be heavily beat up, battered, broken apart and put back together,” Cannon said. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] What Happens When Meteors Hit the Earth?
Hello Listers Well if a meteorite fell by me, I would pick it up :) Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com What Happens When Meteors Hit the Earth? Excerpt from Meteorites by Ronnie McKenzie Namibiana Buchdepot has shared an excerpt from Meteorites: A Southern African Perspective by Ronnie McKenzie, a comprehensive yet straightforward guide to meteorites for anyone interested in this far-reaching topic. In the excerpt, McKenzie explains what happens to meteors that appear to be heading towards the earth but never enter the atmosphere, and what happens when they actually do hit the surface. “If the observer does not hear any noise at all, then the meteor has either not landed, or the point of impact is too far away, despite the impression that it must have been just over the next hill,” McKenzie writes, disclosing details about the speed and debris of meteor showers. Read the short excerpt to learn more about this interesting phenomenon: Although they appear to be heading downwards, they may, in reality, be 120 km or more above the ground and passing over the horizon, possibly without dropping in altitude at all. Such meteors simply start to burn up, in many cases forming spectacular fireballs, but they do not explode or ever come close to landing on Earth. After a display lasting perhaps just a few seconds, they travel back out into space, never to be seen again. If a meteor does in fact hit the surface of the Earth or if it explodes above the surface, it creates a significant noise either from the impact itself or from the associated shock wave. In both cases, the noise from the sonic boom can be heard and/ or felt more than 100 km away. •Keep reading: Namibiana Buchdepot Book details •Meteorites: A Southern African Perspective by Ronnie McKenzie Book homepage EAN: 9781775840985 Find this book with BOOK Finder! source: http://struiknature.bookslive.co.za/blog/2015/01/29/what-happens-when-meteors-hit-the-earth-excerpt-from-meteorites-by-ronnie-mckenzie/ __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

The students with Monticello Trails Middle School, which is part of the De Soto School District, are headed to Topeka to argue for an official state rock. Chris Sprenger, an 8th grade student at the school, is determined to make the meteorite the official Kansas state rock. “The meteorite really has a connection with Kansas that it really doesn’t have with any of the other states in the U.S.,” Sprenger said. Sprenger and more than 100 other students in the district pitched the bill to Representative Brett Hildabrand. Lobbying for a state rock has challenged the students across the board. In social studies they’ve learned how bills are passed, in science they’ve learned about geology and rocks and in communication arts they’ve spent hours working on their proposal essays. source:http://fox4kc.com/2015/01/27/middle-school-students-lobbying-kansas-lawmakers-to-declare-official-state-rock/ __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Even when one does make it to the ground, they are rarely much larger than a small rock, minimizing the damage they're capable of inflicting. Then, of course, there is that once-in-an-eon occasion where something very very large makes it through intact, and this can really do some damage. Fortunately, such hits are extremely rare, but they are worth noting, if only to serve as reminders of the power of the stars to undo the normal routine here on Earth, with little more than a few minutes' warning. So where — and when — did these monsters hit? Let's take a look at the geological records, and see. source:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUnDwn0fN3g Coming up: 10. Barringer Crater, Arizona, USA 9.

[meteorite-list] Scientists decode magnetic message from ancient asteroid
Hello Listers Enjoy :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Scientists decode magnetic message from ancient asteroid by Felix Balthasar, Jan 24, 2015 A team of scientists led by Dr. Richard Harrison of the University of Cambridge, U. K., claimed to have decoded ancient recordings from fragments of an asteroid dating to the start of our solar system. According to the scientists, tiny space magnets in meteorites retain a memory of birth as well as death of the asteroid's core. Using a powerful X-ray microscope, dubbed synchrotron, they read the signals created more than four--a-half billion years ago, soon after the solar system came into existence. They used an intense beam of X-rays to image the nanoscale magnetisation of the meteoritic metal, which allowed them to capture the precise moment when the core of that meteorite's parent asteroid froze, putting an end to that meteorite's magnetic field. The particular meteorites used for the study are known as pallasites, which are primarily composed of iron and nickel, studded with gem-quality silicate crystals. Scientists believe that the magnetic signals written in the fragments of space rock would give them a sneak preview of the fate of Earth's magnetic core, which continues to freeze.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite mineral named after beer is time capsule
Hello Listers DID the SAY BEER :) Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Meteorite mineral named after beer is time capsule 15:55 22 January 2015 by Catherine Brahic For similar stories, visit the Solar System and Cosmology Topic Guides Take a deep breath. Can you taste the flavour of ancient space? Nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere has been traced back to the spinning disc of dust and gas that formed our solar system, and may even have yielded ammonia to fuel organic reactions. This all comes courtesy of a meteorite found in Antarctica named after a popular brand of beer. Our [meteorite] samples were collected in Antarctica in the late 1970s, says Dennis Harries of The Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena, Germany. They fell there hundreds or thousands of years ago. Known as chondritic meteorites, their history goes back some 4.6 billion years. At that time, our solar system was a vast disc of dust and gas, called the protoplanetary disc, spinning around the sun. Harries and his colleagues were studying the make-up of the meteorites when they found a mineral called carlsbergite, named after the Carlsberg Foundation, an offshoot of the Danish brewery, which funded previous work on it. Carlsbergite is a rare composite of chromium and nitrogen. Because of the meteorite's age, it acts like a time capsule, telling us about the form these elements were in while our planet was forming. Looking at the ratio of nitrogen isotopes in his samples, Harries found that it was very close to the ratio in the nitrogen that makes up two-thirds of Earth's atmosphere today. That suggests they have a common origin, and the nitrogen in our atmosphere came from the protoplanetary disc. From a cold start As for the formation of the carlsbergite itself, Harries imagines a dusty volume of space in which dust grains were freely floating in a very thin gas – almost a vacuum. These grains may have been covered by thin shells of ice containing ammonia and other compounds.

Reported in the journal Nature Geoscience, the research illustrates how meteorites -- often portrayed as portents of doom and destruction -- may actually have been key to the development of life on Earth. Scientists have long puzzled over the origin of Earth's nitrogen because it has a different isotopic composition to nitrogen produced by the sun, and is also different to the nitrogen found in comets. source: http://news.discovery.com/earth/how-early-earth-got-its-nitrogen-150120.htm __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

How uncommon you might ask? There is only one confirmed person in history to have ever been hit by one. And she had the evidence to prove it. Back in November 1954, Ann Hodges was taking a nap in her Sylacauga, Alabama, home when a rock about 12 inches in circumference came crashing through the ceiling. The meteorite then collided with her thigh, leaving behind a large, conspicuous bruise. Thankfully, it didn’t smash into her head, or the scene would have been much more gruesome. When word got around about the meteor, the entire town flocked to her home. There were so many people curious to see what happened that she became extremely nervous and had to be taken to the hospital. Because she was a simple country woman, she wasn’t used to all the attention. It made her frenzied. The incident didn’t end there. Despite a government geologist confirming that the object was, in fact, a meteorite, police confiscated it and requested the Air Force’s verification. Many people in the tiny town thought the smoke trails in the sky and loud explosion meant a plane had crashed, while others, paranoid by the Cold War, blamed the Soviets. The object needed some clearing up. Once verified, the only other thing left to do was figure out who the rock belonged to. Of course, Hodges believed it was rightfully hers to keep. “I feel like the meteorite is mine,” she said, according to the Alabama Museum of Natural History. “I think God intended it for me. After all, it hit me!” But, as luck would have it, she wasn’t the only person wanting to stake a claim for the space rock. Her landlady, Birdie Guy, wanted to keep it for herself. Guy found a lawyer and sued Hodges, alleging that it was hers because it landed on her property. Although the law was leaning in her favor, the community wasn’t too happy about that verdict. So, in exchange for $500, they settled out of court. Soon after, the woman and her husband, Eugene, received an offer from the Smithsonian for the rock, though they turned it down — hoping to score a better offer. An offer they’d never get. No one approached them to purchase the controversial entity. In 1956, the Hodges wound up donating it to the museum. If you’re interested in checking it out, it’s still on display. The entire story is just a little heartbreaking, especially when you consider that Ann suffered a nervous breakdown from the meteorite hysterics. According to the museum, “she never did recover” from the frenzy that followed that fateful day. The couple later separated
[meteorite-list] Study shows how planetary building blocks evolved from porous to hard objects
Hello Listers Enjoy Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com Study shows how planetary building blocks evolved from porous to hard objects (Phys.org)—Thinking small has enabled an international team of scientists to gain new insight into the evolution of planetary building blocks in the early solar system. The researchers compared the results of small-scale numerical simulations of colliding rock and dust particles to the composition of meteorites. They found that collisions helped transform initially porous materials into the more highly solidified asteroids and meteorites observed today. The team of seven scientists published their evidence last month in Nature Communications. Planetary scientists study chondritic meteorites to reconstruct planet formation. These meteorites are made of a mixture of solid chondrules, millimeter-sized beads (the approximate width of a penny) that became embedded in a fluffy matrix.

How uncommon you might ask? There is only one confirmed person in history to have ever been hit by one. And she had the evidence to prove it. Back in November 1954, Ann Hodges was taking a nap in her Sylacauga, Alabama, home when a rock about 12 inches in circumference came crashing through the ceiling. The meteorite then collided with her thigh, leaving behind a large, conspicuous bruise. Thankfully, it didn’t smash into her head, or the scene would have been much more gruesome. When word got around about the meteor, the entire town flocked to her home. There were so many people curious to see what happened that she became extremely nervous and had to be taken to the hospital. Because she was a simple country woman, she wasn’t used to all the attention. It made her frenzied. The incident didn’t end there. Despite a government geologist confirming that the object was, in fact, a meteorite, police confiscated it and requested the Air Force’s verification. Many people in the tiny town thought the smoke trails in the sky and loud explosion meant a plane had crashed, while others, paranoid by the Cold War, blamed the Soviets. The object needed some clearing up. Once verified, the only other thing left to do was figure out who the rock belonged to. Of course, Hodges believed it was rightfully hers to keep. “I feel like the meteorite is mine,” she said, according to the Alabama Museum of Natural History. “I think God intended it for me. After all, it hit me!” But, as luck would have it, she wasn’t the only person wanting to stake a claim for the space rock. Her landlady, Birdie Guy, wanted to keep it for herself. Guy found a lawyer and sued Hodges, alleging that it was hers because it landed on her property. Although the law was leaning in her favor, the community wasn’t too happy about that verdict. So, in exchange for $500, they settled out of court. Soon after, the woman and her husband, Eugene, received an offer from the Smithsonian for the rock, though they turned it down — hoping to score a better offer. An offer they’d never get. No one approached them to purchase the controversial entity. In 1956, the Hodges wound up donating it to the museum. If you’re interested in checking it out, it’s still on display. The entire story is just a little heartbreaking, especially when you consider that Ann suffered a nervous breakdown from the meteorite hysterics. According to the museum, “she never did recover” from the frenzy that followed that fateful day. The couple later separated, and, in 1972, she went on to die of kidney failure in a nursing home. She “wasn’t a person who sought out the limelight. The Hodges were just simple country people, and I really think that all the attention was her downfall,” explained museum director Randy Mecredy. What makes this woman’s story so rare is that meteorites typically fall into the ocean or land somewhere desolate (not on top of a woman napping on her couch), according to Michael Reynolds, a Florida State College astronomer. “Think of how many people have lived throughout human history,” Reynolds said. “You have a better chance of getting hit by a tornado and a bolt of lightning and a hurricane all at the same time.” In the photo above, Moody Jacobs reveals her bruise from the incident.
