Thanks Shawn,
Excellent post. If accepted...these definitions will bring about a
standardization in description that was sorely needed in some quarters.

Hi List,
Excellent paper and a great read.
If Mr. Rubin or Grossman are reading this reply, may I have permission
to quote portions of this article (the definitions) to another list

Several list members contacted me privately to remind me that Dr.
Rubin and Dr. Grossman should be addressed as Dr. and not the more
casual Mr. - that was an oversight on my part and was not
intentional. Both of these men deserve much respect in their field.

Hi Mike:
These are good definitions for things on Earth (meteorites, etc.), but
once one talks about things in orbit around the Sun, this is in the
purview of the IAU and they already have (not so perfect) definitions for
small Solar System bodies.

I agree. There's no reason that meteoroid and asteroid can't overlap, as
well. That is, all meteoroids are asteroids, but not all asteroids are
meteoroids. A meteoroid is simply an asteroid (whether a few centimeters or
a few kilometers) that is destined to pass through the atmosphere. (A

Yes, we felt it at 3.45PST for about 30 seconds. Our doors moved back

Our pet squirrel slept through the lot.
But it was 6.9 centered at Mexicali

There appears to be several after shocks in the area of the 6.9 Mexicali

pattern to the quakes. Sort of like two lines coming from the

Hi Jeff -
The problem that I face is trying to describe meteorites and the remains of
impactors to young folk.
The best I can come up with is that if it hits frei-puckt, free fall, it is a
meteorite. Then I try to explain how meteorites also include the remains of
impactors.

Wow, that is only $12- per gram. A fraction of what I heard was being asked at
the Tucson show.
A lot of this meteorite was recovered and this price is more reasonable.
I will be placing an order soon.
