[meteorite-list] Re: Entry Burn [was Lunar Burn]

I agree with Chris. Bear in mind that the source of the luminous phenomena we see when we see a meteor, is not so much the meteoroid itself burning up: it's the atmosphere around it becoming incandescend. - Marco There are only a limited number of meteor spectra, so the colors aren't real

Hi Dirk, all - The problem is that there are a whole lot more plutos which are being discovered. A whole whole lot more. I wonder what the public's reaction was when Ceres was demoted back in the 1800's? It would make a good side bar for someone. good hunting, Ed --- drtanuki [EMAIL
