Re: [meteorite-list] It's Official
A W2, excellent! Congratulations to Todd Parker and all on the Arizona side of the Colorado River! This new strewn field is mere minutes away for me. Bullhead City, AZ and Laughlin, NV mutually support each other. The one hour time difference between the two means that you can bring in the new year twice by simply crossing the river. There are over 22,000 hotel rooms available in the many casino resorts here in Laughlin, NV if you need a place to stay while hunting the Mohave desert. A video that shows Bullhead City and Laughlin in case you are curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tWYISKwRtQ Now is the perfect time to hunt since the temperatures just recently dropped below 100 degrees.

[meteorite-list] IT'S OFFICIAL -- A NUMBER AND A NAME
Hi,
The IAU has just approved a NAME for "Xena,"
or 2003 UB313:
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/special/08747.pdf
Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams, Circular
No. 8747, says the name approved is ERIS, the Greek
Goddess of Discord; the moon has been named
DYSNOMIA. The suggestions are Mike Brown's,
thus proving that he has a sense of humor.
Dysnomia means "lawlessness." For the body once
named "Xena" (played on TV by Lucy Lawless) to
have a moon named "Lawless"-ness is a wonderful
pun. Somebody has lots of time on their hands, or
a quick mind. Dysnomia is the child of Eris ("Strife").
ERIS means "strife" in the literal sense. The Latin
for the same Goddess is "Discordia." The Greeks
regarded "Strife" as a creative force. Hesiod says
of Eris: "She stirs up even the shiftless to toil; for
a man grows eager to work when he considers his
neighbour, a rich man who hastens to plough and
plant and put his house in good order; and neighbour
vies with his neighbour as he hurries after wealth.
This Strife is wholesome for men. And potter is angry
with potter, and craftsman with craftsman, and beggar
is jealous of beggar, and minstrel of minstrel."
Sterling K. Webb
