Re: [meteorite-list] info microscope camera for trinocular
Hi, all, Here are some that I took with a cheap, 6 megapixel Casio, focused through a 15x stereoscope. The camera is mounted on a tripod and positioned against one of the eyepieces. I use the indoor, incandescent light white balance setting, and the ISO on automatic. The stereoscope is fixed magnification, so the zooms are via the camera. To enhance the smaller details on some pics I give the stone a spray with an atomizer filled with isopropyl alcohol. With Photoshop (CS2 version) I use unsharp mask 50%, with a 1 to 2 radius on the pixel, 0 threshold level, depending on the picture. Then I use Levels to adjust the highlights or dark spots.

[meteorite-list] Sonic Boom in Virginia?
http://www.wdbj7.com/Global/story.asp?S=5991049nav=menu368_3_6_4 Sonic Boom In The New River Valley? WDBJ7 (Virginia) January 25, 2007 Numerous reports have come in to Skytracker7 Forecast Center over the past 24 hours. Some with meteorite sightings, some with minor shaking in the New River Valley, and others with a sound of a distant explosion. After sending our viewer reports to the Virginia Tech Seismology Department, Martin Chapman (Asst. Professor) indicates he did report some weak seismic activity at a seismograph in Giles County around 7:55 Wednesday night. After examining the reading, he says it does appear to be similar to that of a sonic boom, perhaps from the same meteorite that folks saw at that same time. John Goss, with the Roanoke Valley Astronimical Society says it was likely a meteorite the size of a grapefruit to cause a sonic boom. The meteorite was also reportedly coming in at a low angle which may have lead to many people hearing and seeing it. Sonic booms happen all the time around the world as objects (planes OR meteorites) break the sound barrier. Often, the sonic booms take place over the ocean or away from communities. (Compare it to: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise?) Here's some information I've gathered regarding sonic booms. SONIC BOOM FACTS -Air reacts like a fluid to supersonic objects. As objects travel through the air, the air molecules are pushed aside with great force and this forms a shock wave much like a boat creates a bow wave. The bigger and heavier the aircraft, the more air it displaces. -The Cause The shock wave forms a cone of pressurized air molecules which move outward and rearward in all directions and extend to the ground. As the cone spreads across the landscape along the flight path, they create a continuous sonic boom along the full width of the cone's base. The release of pressure, after the buildup by the shock wave, is heard as the sonic boom. The change in air pressure associated with a sonic boom is only a few pounds per square foot -- about the same pressure change experienced riding an elevator down two or three floors. It is the rate of change, the sudden onset of the pressure change, that makes the sonic boom audible. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Meteorite's Origin Traced By Czech Geologists to the Moon
http://www.radio.cz/en/article/87671 Meteorite's origin traced by Czech geologists By Daniela Lazarova Radio Praha January 26, 2007 Every year new meteorites are found on different parts of planet Earth. They travel for millions of years and it is usually impossible to say where they came from - but in just one case Czech geologists think they know - North-East Africa 003 is believed to have originally come from the Sea of Rains on the moon. It traveled for 160 million years before getting sucked in by Earth's gravitation and landed somewhere in the Libyan Desert where it was later found by a Czech geologist and collector. Since only about 50 meteorites which have made it to planet Earth are known to have come from the Moon - North East Africa 003 was a significant find. But there was more to come. Czech geologists have been studying its make-up and comparing it to data available from various lunar projects. And it was the 1994 Clementine spacecraft research project which provided the answer. Jakub Haloda of the Czech Geological Society says that a comparison of its findings and the make-up of the moonstone /a course-grained, low-Ti olivine rich basalt / indicates that it could only have come from one place on the moon - the Sea of Rains, also known as the Sea of Showers, a lava flooded giant crater. The information is doubly precious - not only is North East Africa 003 the only moonstone the origin of which geologists have been able to trace, but the findings moreover suggest that lava flowed over the moon's surface much earlier than originally thought. North East Africa 003 was exhibited at the Stefanik Observatory in Prague in 2004 - just two years after it was found. Now it is once again hot news -and there are many who would like to get a glimpse of it. However the moonstone remains in private hands - and the collector in question wishes to remain in anonymity. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Lutetia Asteroid in Rosetta's Spotlight
http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEMNRESMTWE_index_0.html Lutetia asteroid in Rosetta's spotlight European Space Agency 26 January 2007 Earlier this month ESA's Rosetta had a first look at asteroid 21-Lutetia, one of the targets of its long mission. The onboard camera OSIRIS imaged the asteroid passing through its field of view during the spacecraft's gradual approach to Mars. The planet will be reached on 25 February 2007 for the mission's next gravity assist. During its long trek to final destination (comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko), Rosetta is planned to study two asteroids - 2867-Steins and 21-Lutetia, both lying in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids, as well as comets, carry important information about the origin of the Solar System - a better understanding of which is one of the primary goals of Rosetta. The two asteroids will be visited at close range in September 2008 and July 2010, respectively, but the Rosetta scientists have already taken the opportunity to collect preliminary data about them. This opportunity will help scientists to better prepare for the broader observation campaigns of the two asteroids to come at later stage. Steins was imaged by Rosetta on March 11, while Lutetia was first imaged by Rosetta during a 36-hour observation campaign on 2 and 3 January 2007, when the spacecraft was flying at about 245 million kilometres from the asteroid. OSIRIS, the Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System mounted onboard the Rosetta orbiter, was switched on for this remote sensing observation. Lutetia can be seen as the near-stationary spot visible at the centre of the animated sequence presented in this article. The scattered light spots seen in the movie are cosmic rays events, that is high-energy cosmic radiation hitting the detectors of the OSIRIS camera. Little is known about Lutetia and Steins. Actually, very little is known about asteroids in general. Out of the many millions of asteroids that populate the Solar System, only a few have been observed so far from near-by. According to what we know so far, Steins and Lutetia have rather different properties. Steins is relatively small, with a diameter of a few kilometres. Lutetia is a much bigger object, about 100 kilometres in diameter. The Lutetia observation this month were aimed at pre-characterizing the rotation direction of the asteroid. This can be done by the study of the so-called 'light curve' of the asteroid - by analysing how the light emitted by the observed object changes intensity for the observer, one can deduce in what direction the object rotates. Scientists are now busy in analysing the OSIRIS data to build the light curve of Lutetia. Having concluded the Lutetia observations, Rosetta is now getting ready for the next mission milestone: the swing-by of planet Mars. At the end of February, the gravitational energy of the Red Planet will be used by the spacecraft to get accelerated and then pushed, like a stone in a sling-shot, on a trajectory towards Earth for the following gravity assist manoeuvre in November 2007. In the meantime Rosetta continues to provide new emotions as this incredible spacecraft, travelling through the Solar System as a cosmic 'billiard ball', collects data and images of the objects on its way. Note to editors Asteroid 2867-Steins will be visited again by Rosetta on 5 September 2008 from a distance of just over 1700 kilometres. This encounter will take place at a relatively low speed of about 9 kilometres per second during Rosetta's first excursion into the asteroid belt. On 10 July 2010 Rosetta will pay its second visit to asteroid 21-Lutetia, passing within about 3000 kilometres of it, at a speed of about 15 kilometres per second. Rosetta will gather unprecedented data as it flies by these primordial rocks. Its onboard instruments will provide information on the mass and density of the asteroids, thus telling us more about their composition, and will also measure their subsurface temperature and look for gas and dust around them.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Baby Names for a Boy
Hello Friends, My wife and I are expecting our first baby this June and we are at a roadblock for a baby boy's name (this is harder than I thought). We would both entertain the idea of a name that relates to meteorites, space, or the cosmos. I would love to hear your suggestions for names that you think would work (and our boy wouldn't get picked on.) We will not name our kid Uranus or NWA either, so nothing weird please :) You ideas would be appreciated! Please email me privately with your suggestions. I may post the top contenders later if we decide to go this route.

[meteorite-list] Czech this out-- NEA 003 lunar
http://www.radio.cz/en/article/87671 Meteorite's origin traced by Czech geologists [26-01-2007] By Daniela Lazarova Every year new meteorites are found on different parts of planet Earth. They travel for millions of years and it is usually impossible to say where they came from - but in just one case Czech geologists think they know - North-East Africa 003 is believed to have originally come from the Sea of Rains on the moon. North-East Africa 003, photo: Jakub HalodaIt traveled for 160 million years before getting sucked in by Earth's gravitation and landed somewhere in the Libyan Desert where it was later found by a Czech geologist and collector. Since only about 50 meteorites which have made it to planet Earth are known to have come from the Moon - North East Africa 003 was a significant find. But there was more to come. Czech geologists have been studying its make-up and comparing it to data available from various lunar projects. And it was the 1994 Clementine spacecraft research project which provided the answer. Jakub Haloda of the Czech Geological Society says that a comparison of its findings and the make-up of the moonstone /a course-grained, low-Ti olivine rich basalt / indicates that it could only have come from one place on the moon - the Sea of Rains, also known as the Sea of Showers, a lava flooded giant crater. The information is doubly precious - not only is North East Africa 003 the only moonstone the origin of which geologists have been able to trace, but the findings moreover suggest that lava flowed over the moon's surface much earlier than originally thought. North East Africa 003 was exhibited at the Stefanik Observatory in Prague in 2004 - just two years after it was found. Now it is once again hot news -and there are many who would like to get a glimpse of it. However the moonstone remains in private hands - and the collector in question wishes to remain in anonymity. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Geoff's meteorite page on Wikipedia
Hello Geoff, Mark and all, Anyone notice on the Wikipedia article the image of the Wisconson meteorite that fell in 1868? Click on the image and it shows a gentleman (Increase Lapham) examining it. Unfortunately, no meteorite fell in Wisconson in that year. The meteorite in question is probably one of the Trenton iron meteorites (IIIAB) that were found in Wisconson in 1858. Vernon County is the only Wisconson fall (1865) that fell prior to Lapham's death but the meteorite pictured in the Wikipedia page is much larger than either of the 2 Vernon County stones that fell. Cheers, Frank --- MARK BOSTICK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I haven't seen it mentioned here, but granted I don't read everything at all times. Did anyone else notice Geoff Notkin's meteorite page on Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorite I first noticed it about two months ago (?). So not sure how long it has been up, but I see one photograph that is about 10 months old, so less then that I imagine. Nice job Geoff.
