Astronomers have revealed how they came within minutes of alerting the
world to a potential asteroid strike last month.
Some scientists believed on 13 January that a 30m object, later
designated 2004 AS1, had a one-in-four chance of hitting the planet
within 36 hours.

Dear List, I've been saying for years now
that the amount of meteorites falling is increasing drastically. Never-the-less
it worries me that some hope for it to strike somewhere(where they aren"t).
What's happening to a society that thinks like this?
Nels
Nels,
what makes you think that meteorites
are falling more frequently? Could it be
that, due to better communication and denser population, they are OBSERVED more frequently? I havent seen any indication that actually the
falls are increasing. Have you?
Best regards,
Dirk,
Mind you, there probably isnt much
point in telling the world, what would we do? We would have no idea of where is
would hit until a few minutes before, so why panic anyway? Apart from stocking up on fur coats and
food for the coming nuclear winter, not much else we could do!

Hello all,
I'm a bit confused about how much of this meteorite there is, so I thought
I'd take the question to the List. From the Hupe's descriptions on several
pieces currently on ebay, the TKW appears to be 1059.7 grams from three
stones (220.6 grams, 505.1 grams, and 334 grams). Rob Wessel,
I should have been more clear in my auction Frank, the piece I have on eBay
is paired and the description has been adjusted for the additional mass I am
aware of, as recovered by the Hupe brothers last December. All additional
known weight by pairings is routinely submitted by the Hupes and it

Hi ListWe decided to close out of few the meteorites and books we have had in our inventory a whileand some not so long. We also need to raise some cash to cover our Tucson expenses. Since I love the patented Steve Arnold (original) reverse auction idea so much I thought I would try it here.
Dear Frank, Rob and List Members,
I think some NWA 1836 stones are being counted twice. My research shows
that a 800 plus gram stone was cut and only the end cut weight of 220 grams
was reported to the Nom Com. To me it looks like somebody was trying to
cheat on the TKW. What other reason
Hello all,
Thanks for your input. Interestingly when you add the weight submitted to
the Nom. Comm. (505.1 g.) to the weight of the main mass that Nelson Oakes
has (596.77 g.), you have the TKW that Nelson Oakes listed for the
individual stone, or 1101.87 grams. So if my logic is correct, it looks
Dear List, Also I have a few premier slices left of
the real "Twisted Sister" at $15/gram. Thanks Nels
The main mass Nels had on his web site was cut off of a 1100 gram individual
aparently. If the Hupes found an additional 334 grams, then tht would place
the total at some 1400 maybe 1500 grams...
FYI no point in trying to negotiate over the price of the piece that was at
tucson... it's already

Dear Nels and List,
The same scientist who originally studied NWA 1836
has already determined that this material is definitely paired. As a
matter of fact he was on the expedition that produced the extra 334 grams which
we reported accurately. In case you forgot, Habbibi sent us a sample of
