[meteorite-list] Name An Asteroid Contest
http://spacegeneration.org/index.php/projects/neo-working-group?id=851 Name An Asteroid Contest Space Generation Advisory Council Click here to Name an Asteroid! http://spacegeneration.org/index.php/projects/neo-working-group?id=854 Here is your chance to name an asteroid! SGAC and the NEO PG in collaboration with the Minor Planet Centre (MPC) are excited to offer you the opportunity to name an asteroid! Entering is easy: Send us your entry in 50 words or less how you would like to name an asteroid and why. The naming contest is open to anyone. Submit your entry by November 30 by telling us your name, age, home country and email. Rules for naming are below. There are two age groups: under 18, and over 18. The two winners will be announced around the end of December. Rules The winning entries will be forwarded to the IAU CSBN - the body responsible for naming small bodies within the solar system, like asteroids. The winning entries will go through the same judging process as any other asteroid. The process can take some time (4-6 months) and there is no guarantee that the winning entry will be accepted. If you want your name suggestion to win, it is highly recommended to follow the IAU Guidelines for Naming Asteroids. They include: * 16 characters or less in length preferably one word * pronounceable (in some language) * non-offensive * not too similar to an existing name of a Minor Planet or natural Planetary satellite [http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/lists/MPNames.html]. * names of pet animals are discouraged * names of a purely or principally commercial nature are not allowed. * The names of individuals or events principally known for political or military activities are unsuitable until 100 years after the death of the individual or the occurrence of the event.

Re: [meteorite-list] Name of Texas Fall: Ash Creek
Steve has a point there, is the new name cross correlated in some way with 'West' in the actual database? (It just came up as Ash Creek when I searched). - Just worries me it's a great way to loose a few thousand specimens of a fall, if in the future you can't cross correlate the label names! I also wonder if there was any way a name could be officially assigned at the time of a fall rather than several months after it's recovered? Out of interest, is the name that's given the nearest place/town to the first recovery, or to the majority location of the finds? How's it decided?

Re: [meteorite-list] Name of Texas Fall: Ash Creek
As they say, it is hard to get the toothpaste back in the tube once it is out. Well, seriously, who let it out? In my personal understanding the NomCom of the Meteoritical Society will not necessarily care for any specific reasoning of the early finders/dealers/traders. They have to stick to and obey their own rules, and then, of course, allow some qualified discussion in between the board members, if there are different opinions, but only to come to an agreeable conclusion in the end...

Re: [meteorite-list] Name of Texas Fall: Ash Creek
One problem with naming a meteorite too soon is that we end up with meteorites like Norton County, Kansas. One problem with naming a meteorite too late is that we end up with meteorites like Ash Creek. I assume that Ash Creek runs in both McLennan County and Hill County? From that aspect it is kind of appropriate. Steve Arnold Arkansas (synonyms: #1, the original, Brenham Steve, Birthday Boy #2, IMB) **Access 350+ FREE radio stations anytime from anywhere on the web.

Re: [meteorite-list] Name of Texas Fall: Ash Creek
Hi Dr. Jeff and List, I, for one, am tickled that the WEST, Texas fall has been officially named anything but WEST. Years ago I became aware of the methods and criteria used by the Nomenclature Committee for naming any new fall or find. So it was obvious that the name WEST was premature. The first email I received about someone actually finding a piece of the fall (may have been Sonny- I don't remember) stated that it was found near WEST TEXAS. Well now, by gum, that name takes in a huge geographical area. Having lived in Odessa for many years, I have always heard our area termed WEST TEXAS. And it is...WEST TEXAS. I have always, arbitrarily, thought of the western part of Texas as starting around Abilene or thereabouts. A lot of folks for many years have declared that Ft. Worth is Where the west begins. Who am I to argue. West Texas officially ends just west of El Paso. It has to in that New Mexico starts there. So using Ft. Worth as a starting point (going west) and ending the trip in El Paso, we have now covered about 603 miles and are still a skosh away from the New Mexico border. If we start the trip from Abilene we'll be covering over 455 miles. I believe Darren might declare that distance to be at least an OODLE of miles, may even stretch into the next unit of measurement. I won't even go into what constitutes the southern and northern boundaries of what is considered WEST TEXAS, but there are some impressive distances there too. Most everyone who lives in the great state of Texas think of the western part of Texas when they hear the term WEST TEXAS. And that's a big place. So now you can possibly understand that every time I heard the name WEST TEXAS (and frequently written without the distinction and clarification of even a comma between the words) applied to the fall I was immediately disconcerted, discombobulated, confused, and bewildered. Contrary to popular opinion that is really not my normal state of mind. HAIL to the new meteorite ASH CREEK. Welcome aboard into the multitudinous family of existing Texas meteorites, the ones that had the good sense to aim for our great state. They knew they would be properly appreciated and cared for here. Watch for my new book The Care and Feeding of Texas Meteorites, scheduled to be on the bookstore bookshelves any time now. It would be greatly appreciated if any of you foreigners (anyone who doesn't live in Texas) who are in possession of any of our fine Texas meteorites please send them home.

Jerry, It's good to hear from a resident of west Texas. I appreciate your point of view. And your place of residence.

Re: [meteorite-list] Name the new Canadian fall
The final selection of a name rests with the Nomenclature Committee. They have guidelines about what characterizes a proper meteorite name (and contrary to popular belief, these do not say anything about post offices). However, there are no rules at all regarding who may propose a name for a new meteorite. Normally, the group that submits the initial characterization of the meteorite to the NomCom makes a suggestion about what the name should be. Surprisingly, there have been only a few cases where multiple suggestions have been made by different groups. A recent example was Carancas (vs. Desaguadero). I don't know how the committee would react to suggestions coming out of the community at large. I think they would probably give deference to the finder and/or initial-characterization team, unless a counter-suggestion was backed by a better reason than too John Waynish or no distinct Canadian sound. But if I was doing the initial description of this meteorite, I would be thinking as you are. If I could pick from multiple names of nearby geographic features and some are boring and some are cool, I'd go for cool; if Buzzard Coulee was one of my choices, it would be a no-brainer (except that maybe folks from Saskatchewan would not want a name with the initials B.C.).

[meteorite-list] Name 'em Mark and Anthony
http://www.space.com/searchforlife/081002-seti-dogbone-asteroid.html Two Companions Found Near Dog-bone Asteroid By Franck Marchis Principal Investigator, SETI Institute, UC Berkeley posted: 02 October 2008 06:57 am ET A team of astronomers led by F. Marchis, PI, at the SETI Institute and at UC-Berkeley, and P. Descamps from Paris Observatory announced recently the discovery of two moons around an intriguing asteroid. The main-belt asteroid 216 Kleopatra has two companions. When Marchis observed this asteroid for the first time in October 1999 with the 3.6m telescope at ESO-La Silla in Chile, he did not know that he was starting a lengthy quest. The first data recorded with an adaptive optics system, which improves the angular resolution of the image on ground-based telescopes, reveal that the asteroid was made of two components. One year later, Steve Ostro, astronomer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, published an article in Science that summarized the analysis of radar observations that revealed that the mysterious shape of this M-type, main-belt asteroid. Since then, Kleopatra has been called the dog-bone asteroid. Its weird shape is probably the outcome of an impact event. The two lobes could be fragments resulting from the disruption of a parent asteroid that later gently collided to form a dumbbell-shaped body with overall dimension of 135 miles by 58 miles by 43 miles (217 km by 94 km by 81 km). To reexamine this interesting scenario and better determine the size and shape of this fascinating asteroid, Marchis led a team that obtained telescope time to observe the asteroid in September 2008. The observing schedule allowed the team to take advantage of the asteroid's position when it was close to Earth at 1.2 AU. They used the Keck-II telescope, the largest optical telescope in the world located on the top of Mauna Kea, in Hawaii. The Keck Adaptive Optics system was recently improved and its large 10-m aperture produces images with an incomparable quality in sharpness (resolution up to 0.035). Using the time-zone difference, Marchis' collaborator, Pascal Descamps, located in Paris, France, participated remotely in the observations. Shortly after the first images were recorded and processed, they realized that the dog-bone shape model obtained by radar inversion agreed with the direct images recorded at the telescope. Descamps also pointed out that a tiny 3.1 mile- (5 km-) sized moon was seen on the first images of Kleopatra. Additional data taken during this eventful night revealed a second fainter satellite (2.9 mile- or 3 km-sized) that was closer to the primary. Because of its elongated and bilobated shape, the team expected to detect companions around 216 Kleopatra. They predicted that the rubble-pile structure of the primary, linked with its fast rotation (~5 h), could result in ejection of fragments from the primary after an oblique impact that formed satellites. It is also possible that these moons are remnant of the catastrophic disruption of the parent asteroid, which were subsequently captured. In 2005 the same team discovered in the asteroid belt the first triple system composed of two moons around 87 Sylvia. Two years later, a second triple system (45 Eugenia) was discovered in the main-belt also using an adaptive optics system. These three systems are strikingly similar since all of them are composed of a large primary (diameter larger than 54 miles or 100 km) and their km-sized moons orbit very close to the primary. Without the improvement in image quality provided by the adaptive optics systems installed on Keck's telescopes, these multiple asteroid systems would have remained unnoticed. The team announced its discovery in an IAU circular 8980 on September 24. If more data are collected over the next few weeks, it will be possible to estimate the mutual orbits of the satellites and then infer the bulk density of this interesting M-type asteroid. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Dear List; I have been digging for about two years to locate the name of the gentleman, a former list member, that did some curation work at U. of Wyoming with their meteorite collection (not on display). I found the name of Mr. Frank Stroik, he was a list member until he moved to Atlanta, GA, or in that vicinity of the planet, and the time was around early 1999. Any one have any contact with Frank in the past year or two? He was heavy into astrophysics and working toward a degree at that time. Any help?

[meteorite-list] Name that tune pt. 2
Hi all. Thanks to Harlan I'm upgrading my slice of Gao from 1.16g to 10g which means I've got an extra slice of Gao now. I could sell or trade it but that just doesn't seem right considering why I will soon have two slices so for anyone who can identify the song that these lyrics come from gets my old piece. You also have to ID the band that sings it and what album its off of. The reason I chose this song is it just happens to be what I'm listening to right now and its by one of my favorite bands who is no longer together.

Re: [meteorite-list] Name that tune pt. 2
Hi Rhett, I think the song is "Alex Chilton" byThe Replacementsfrom the album Pleased to meet me.Clear Skies Happy Hunting, Jay Haynes IMCA Member #:6905 www.geocities.com/cdnastronomer/meteorite.html From: "Rhett Bourland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Meteorite List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [meteorite-list] Name that tune pt. 2 Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 16:46:26 -0600 Hi all. Thanks to Harlan I'm upgrading my slice of Gao from 1.16g to 10g which means I've got an extra slice of Gao now. I could sell or trade it but that just doesn't seem right considering why I will soon have two slices so for anyone who can identify the song that these lyrics come from gets my old piece. You also have to ID the band that sings it and what album its off of. The reason I chose this song is it just happens to be what I'm listening to right now and its by one of my favorite bands who is no longer together.

Congratulations to Jay Haynes for being the first to identify the song Alex Chilton by The Replacements off their album Pleased To Meet Me. Also kudos to Geoff Notkin, Harlan Trammel, and Rob Brey for getting the correct answer. I've been a Mats fan for years and find that hardly anyone else even knows who they are, let alone any of their songs. I also find that I just about always get like other Mats fans very well which this contest proved once again. To read some hilarious stories about this band check out http://www.themats.com/stories.html. Shoot me an email with your address Jay and I'll have your Gao out ASAP. Thanks everyone and I'm off to listen to some Hootenany!
