Hi Sterling!
Nice assessment of Gliese 581c!
Interesting to further speculate: I wonder what else would the fact
that Gliese 581 (the star) is a 'red dwarf' bring to the party? (Apart
from the sunlight being further into the red, which is a good point),
but would a red dwarf mean there is
Hi, Mark, List,
would have been through hell in the
past, (since the star is now a dwarf)
A red dwarf is a main sequence star: once
a dwarf, always a dwarf. It's just a low-mass
star with a longer lifetime (25 billion years?)
than our Sun (10 billion years?). At a third
of a solar mass,

My BS detector is buzzing like crazy. They have not directly seen the
planet but somehow know that it has balmy temperatures. What necromancy
produced that result?
The composition of the atmosphere is critical to knowing the temperature
of the planet - think Venus vs. Mars. If they didn't

What necromancy
produced that result?
Some pieces of magic called the inverse square law,
Mr. Kepler's laws, and the mass-luminosity rule for stars,
a little data, and small human stepwise reasoning.

I am just returning home from a very successful group meteorite hunt at

Hi, Francis, Paul, List,
Just a genteel quarrel with the assertion that
photodissociation is what removed H2O from
Venus. That certainly is one proposed theory.
It's really hard to get the numbers to support it
though. Even though it's the oldest theory (40
years or more), a good

Hi Paul,
I'm no scientist, but your thoughts on this are the same as mine. This
star is 20 light years from us, and yet we somehow deduce that a planet
going around it has balmy temperatures. They're still trying to speculate
about possible life on Mars and it's a stones throw
Dear List Members,
I just got back from a 5-day fun-filled meteorite hunt at Glorieta Mountain
with about 14 of our fellow meteorite collectors/hunters. I would have to
re-name it the Meat Grinder due to the rugged terrain which caused many
cuts, scrapes, bruises and nearly every eye in the
Hi!
The Key Word is SPECULATE!
That's all we can do while we try to
get more data, but speculation refreshes
the curiosity, sometimes makes us think
harder about the problems, and pushes
us along.
Hmm. Mars is only a stone's throw?
Why don't we GO there? (I'll chip in
for gas...)
Hi Paul,
I wish we would do whatever it takes to put men on Mars, and soon, cuz
I'm getting old.

Hey Greg and list
we found 6 more pieces today, 2 of which are
pallasitic. Tomorrow is the last hunting day. We had
the largest gathering of meteorite experts on a
meteorite hunt that I have ever seen. It has been a
blast.
