Hi, You may or may not remember that what made possible the positive identification of Martian meteorites AS Martian meteorites was that we had samples from the Martian surface. No, not rock samples, nor any returned samples, but the isotopic composition of rare gases in the Martian atmosphere,

List, I've also wondered on Mercurian meteorites, and I know there is a theory that Mercury was involved in a large collision early in the development of the solar system, and that this collision blasted off the entire outside of Mercury leaving behind the planet we know today. I've pondered

Sterling, list, I would never try to second guess you sterling but, it seems this topic has come up quite a bit and the big question always has to do with mineralogy. The truth is that Mercury's Oxygen isotopes may be the same as Earth as are many others within our same Zone such as Aubrites,

The Vivitar does not take standard eyepieces because of secondary corrective lenses, so you can't use anything but what it comes with. The focuser is just screw-in, screw-out adjustment, very crude. My guess is that it would disappoint you. Small telescopes are rarely worth even their small

Nah, I would pass on that. Too much central obstruction. Focal length is too short for good planetary views. I'd recommend a good, quality small refractor or tabletop refractor instead, 60mm or bigger. Avoid all the toy scopes. Look for coated(multi-coated is better) achromatic AIR SPACED glass
