Both statements are ridiculous, of course. It would be an incredibly rare event to see or photograph. As I recall, there is only one good candidate for a photo of a meteor strike on the Moon. It was, I think, back in the late 1950's (1957?). I read about it (and the arguments that insued from the claim) in Sky Telescope magazine and I'm sure the article is there in my 52 year deep stack of Sky Telescope's. But I ain't gonna search for it. The interesting thing is, at that time, most geologists (especially British and Australian ones) were absolutely convinced that the Moon was geologically active and that ALL the craters were volcanoes. Impacts? Tut, tut, they said, unlikely. So the arguments were about whether what had been photographed was an impact event or a volcanic eruption! So powerful was the hold of the volcanic model on some geologists that I have a marvelous 1976 Australian text (which I bought for the section on Australian tektites) that resolutely affirms that the lunar landscape was all formed by volcanic action. This was years after we had already been to the Moon and seen a small planet's worth of evidence that it WASN'T volcanic. The author dismissed the Apollo observations by remarking that those fine fellows were, after all, aviators, not geologists! As for impacts, no problem. The seismometers left behind on the Moon recorded not only moonquakes, but a number of impacts, including a series of five of what were almost certainly beta Taurid meteor stream objects. Each one was estimated at a weight of 2-5 tons and with a terminal velocity of about 24 km/sec, all five of them on one day! But no photographs... On the other hand, the Moon has been mapped with some accuracy for over two centuries and no one has come up a crater big enough to have been seen that just wasn't there in the past, which puts a limit on the frequency of large impacts. In fact, after two centuries, there have been no verifable instances of any lunar feature changing in appearance, at least that can't be plausibly explained by observer limitations and errors. Most of us here on the List are familiar with NASA's Astronomy Photo of the Day webside: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html But did you know there's a Lunar Photo Of The Day website (since Jan. 1, 2004) for us loonies? http://www.lpod.org/ And of course the Malin Space Science Systems (Mars Observer Camera) web site has a Mars Photo Of The Day (along with its archive of 187,000 Mars images): http://www.msss.com/ And just so the Earthlings don't feel left out, an Earth Photo Of The Day web site: http://epod.usra.edu/ Can't forget the Earthlings...

[meteorite-list] AD - MOLDAVITE IN MATRIX SLABS
Hello all - Ever wonder what fresh found moldavites look like in the tunnels as they are dug? Well they look a bit like this: http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/sale-pics/mold1.JPG Buried deep in the ground below several layers of sedimentary rock lies a layer of alluvial debris, within which the moldavites are found. I have a rare treat today: Huge slabs of matrix that were excavated from tunnels using a method of applying a thin resin to the area surrounding a moldavite find followed by cutting the entire section out. They are framed and the interior of the frame measures 16.5 by 13, huge, sprawling, and super cool. The whole face of the matrix was sprayed with resin and it is slow to come off the moldavites but with time and a bit of acetone and a Q-tip they clean up easily. I hit these only for a couple minutes to photograph them and they already look 100% better. I went easy as each person's preference is different but these than be further exposed as desired. There are ONLY THREE for sale and when they are gone they're gone. These were recovered after years of storage, I have no idea where to get more. Framed and ready to hang, $400 each plus shipping. I can ship overseas but they are big and heavy, it's going to be expensive. U.S. I figure around $25 These are not linked up on my main page, wanted the list to have first crack. Feast, it's likely you have never seen anything like these. #3 has the photo horizontal as it is set to hang that way, easy enough to change. http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/mold1.htm http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/mold2.htm http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com/catalog/mold3.htm Rob Wesel http://www.nakhladogmeteorites.com -- We are the music makers... and we are the dreamers of the dreams.

Ciel Espace, No. 349 - Juin 1999, p. 17: Si, c'est possible ! Observer une chute de météorites sur la Lune: une blague d'étudiants de première année? Non, d'après l'équipe espagnole de J.L. Ortiz, c'est à la portée des télescopes d'amateurs. Sur la Lune, en l'absence d'atmosphère, les impacts de météorites sont plus violents que sur Terre. Ils libèrent donc bien plus d'énergie: 20 millions de joules pour un bloc de 1 kg. Cela représente, vu depuis la Terre, un flash de magnitude 9 à 15. Testant actuellement un télescope de 250 mm de diamètre, l'équipe espagnole aurait déjà enregistré plusieurs impacts, mesures qui restent cependant à confirmer. Selon J.L. Ortiz, les Léonides offriront en novembre une belle opportunité de recherche pour les amateurs et professionnels. La Lune étant en quartier, il suffira de surveiller les régions lunaires plongées dans la nuit. Watching meteorites fall on the Moon - just a joke to impress first graders? No, says the study group of J.L. Ortiz - it is within reach of (modest) amateur telescopes. Because the Moon doesn't have a substantial atmosphere, meteorite impacts there are much more violent than here on Earth liberating much more energy: 20 million joules for a 1-kg block. As seen from the Earth, this would produce a flash of magnitude 9 to 15 (the faintest stars visible to the unaided eye in a non-polluted environment are about mag. 6). Tests that are being undertaken with a telescope of 250 mm aperture (a 10-inch scope) have yielded the first results. The Spanish team says they have already observed several impacts - this will still have to be confirmed. According to J.L. Ortiz, the Leonids in November will offer a suitable opportunity for research for both amateurs and professionals. As the Moon will be in its first-quarter, observing the regions that are still in the lunar dark will do the job.

[meteorite-list] Re-Post: Watching meteorites fall on the Moon
On Monday, July 05, 1999, I sent this to the List: News Update - Ramble through the journals by Professor Chris Kitchin (Astronomy Now, July 1999, p. 8): Lunar meteorites: The myriads of impact craters covering the lunar surface are clear evidence that meteorites of all sizes have hit the Moon in the past. Numerous meteors, and more occasionally meteorites are observed hitting the Earth. Given the closeness of the Earth and Moon, on astronomical scales, we should clearly therefore expect meteorites to be continuing to collide with the Moon. Since there is no atmosphere to slow them down, even small particles will hit the surface at high velocities and produce an explosion. Could those explosions be observed from Earth? A simple calculation shows that for a l kg meteorite, the flash on impact would be about magnitude +7 or +8; easily visible through a small telescope against the dark part of the Moon. In an attempt to detect such impacts Ortiz et al. (Astron. Astrophys. 343, L57, 1999) used a CCD on a 0.25m (10-inch) Newtonian telescope to observe an area of about three million square kilometres of the dark part of the Moon. They observed for a total of 4.3 hours, and attempted to detect impacts by subtracting one image from another. The result was a uniform grey except where a change had occurred between the two exposures, when a light or dark spot would be visible. They detected five events which could have been impacts, but these had magnitudes around +11, and the authors cannot rule out the possibility that they are artefacts due to noise and not real impacts. Nonetheless the idea seems to have considerable potential, and any astronomer with a small telescope equipped with a CCD could follow it up. - Have a nice one, Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Crackpot in the news
It is an urban myth that the Moon is too bright for the HST. It can safely look at the Moon, and has done so in the past. You can go to the MAST site and download WFPC2 FITS data for lunar images. The trick with lunar imaging is that the relative motion of the Moon is very fast, and the HST has to be accurately maneuvered during the exposure. It certainly isn't done routinely. In fact, I know of no real science data collected from lunar images; the images that were made were made as a sort of demo of the HST capabilities. The HST also points at the Earth, which is used as a calibration target for some instruments. I think crackpot accurately describes this fellow; whether or not he is a deliberate liar I'll leave to others.

Hi Al and list, I heard that too, that they could not look at the moon, but then I read an article saying there is some kind of conspiracy going on. For years astronomers wanted to look at the Moon and was forbidden. Then NASA had a probe on something and used Hubble to watch it. The astronomers immediately got suspicious, the resolution was great and they wondered what NASA did not want them to see on the moon, a space station or something? Or was it something else, like they did not want them to look at former landing sites, maybe there is nothing there? Who knows!
