[meteorite-list] Meteorites on the moon

Can you imagine hunting meteorites on the moon? Crustless Diogenites, Eucrites, Howardites strewnabout everywhere. Pristine Pallasites unaltered by atmospheric pressure or humidity sticking out of the lunar dust like a gem. How excited Nasa was when they found one on Mars. I'm surprised there

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites on the moon

Unaltered by atmospheric pressure also implies unslowed by any atmosphere. So everything that hits the Moon is doing so at a minimum of around 2.5 km/s, and usually a lot more. I don't think you'll find many meteorites. As thin as the Martian atmosphere is, it is enough to provide

True. Really big chunks might have a tiny percentage of the interior survive. Of course, it isn't likely to be unaltered by the collision (unlike small meteorites found here, which do have unaltered interiors). And irons aren't so interesting. Are there stony meteorites that are the product of

Hi, Bob, Chris, List The three factors that get a meteorite intact to the surface of the Earth are : a) slow entry velocity, b) low angle of incidence, and c) an aerodynamically useful shape to start with. The third factor is moot on the Moon. The first two still apply. So, some chunk,

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites on the moon

Actually, physics-ly speaking, Earth holds far more meteorites than the moon does. Be it remembered, that without an atmosphere to slow them, the bulk of meteoroids arrive at full cosmic speeds and are most certainly vaporized by the collision. I haven't done the math but under an extreme
