Hello Everyone, I have added some new items to my store: Chaves, Idutywa, Charlotte, Mount Vernon, Castalia, Tres Castillos, Santa Apolonia, Coolac, Hamlet, Mount Joy, Ogallala, Bholgati, Orange River, Uwet, Rush County, St. Lawrence, Hex River, Albion, Iredell, Indian Valley, Troup, Forsyth, Fayetteville, Staunton, Honolulu, Bonita Springs, Crescent, Tilden, Seymour, Deelfontein, Diep River, Social Circle, Calico Rock, Bristol, Watson, Dhajala, Walker County, Frankfort, Akbarpur, Emery, and many others These and about 300 others that I have yet to list were acquired from an older collection. Some are straight museum trades and others are older NEMS specimens, which are no longer available. In fact, Russ Kempton will no longer be cutting obscure irons and many of his specimens have reached the end of cutting. When I say that most of the above and the others I have are no longer available, that pretty much sums it up. Some of these will not be replaceable. Times are a changing for witnessed falls, Low Known Weight Falls and Historical specimens. I and other have seen a 100 to a 1000 percent increase in $$$ of the rarer and more obscure material. In retrospect, some of the prices I am getting are all time record prices and they are selling at these prices. Anyway, most of these pieces have not been available to the collector for a long time and with some specimens, they have NEVER been available. Worth a look in any case. Here are some highlights for this weeks auctions: If some of you remember, a few months ago a piece of Bonita Springs, Florida sold for some large amount. I have a few available, Here is one! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemrd=1item=200198356673 Pretty rare fall from Kentucky and you wont find another part slice for sale anywhere else http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemrd=1item=200198356674 2057 gram DIMMITT, NO MORE LARGE ONES AVAILABLE FROM TCU This is the Last One Traded Out! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemrd=1item=200198356677 I will NEVER put anymore Honolulu in auction for 0.99 cents!

[meteorite-list] Dawn Journal - January 31, 2008
http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/journal_1_31_08.asp Dawn Journal Dr. Marc Rayman January 31, 2008 Dear Dawnnoisseurs, Now in interplanetary cruise, the Dawn spacecraft is following a much more leisurely pace than the one it maintained during the initial checkout phase of the mission. While its daily schedule is not demanding, as it follows (and changes) its orbit around the Sun, it is separating from Earth at nearly 4 light seconds per day (more than 1.1 million kilometers, or 720 thousand miles, per day). Every 8 hours, the probe recedes from Earth by a distance equal to that between Earth and the moon. The spacecraft has accumulated more than 1000 hours of thrusting with its ion propulsion system. Although far, far longer than the overwhelming majority of spacecraft have operated their propulsion systems, this represents only a small fraction of the total thrusting required to complete its solar system journey. [Note to editors: This milestone may be of significance only to human readers. When translated for those who use different numbering systems or different time systems, it may not yield an interesting result. (For that matter, 1000 hours is not a special number when expressed in seconds, days, or millennia.)] Most of Dawn's time is devoted to thrusting with its ion propulsion system, but each week the spacecraft stops for a communications session with controllers on distant Earth, during which it returns detailed data on the performance of its subsystems throughout the previous week. Reports of voltages and currents, temperatures and pressures, and myriad other parameters allow engineers to determine how well the ship has been doing and how to keep it sailing as smoothly as possible. On January 14 shortly before 10:00 pm PST, a high energy subatomic particle, a cosmic ray, traveled through one of the main panels of the spacecraft and then penetrated one of the electronics units. The energy it carried had been imparted to it through an unidentified cosmic process, and after the particle had traveled across vast distances, that energy was transferred to a small integrated circuit. Such an event is not all that uncommon on spacecraft, and Dawn is designed so that most space radiation does not interfere with its operation. The deposition of energy in this particular component however triggered the electronics to inform the software of a problem. To rectify the situation, other software correctly responded by resetting the computer in that unit. In the last log, we saw that two master computers work together to oversee and control activities on the spacecraft. The computer that was reset in this case was neither of those; it was one of many auxiliary computers with more limited responsibilities. In addition to resetting the computer, software running in the main computer correctly reconfigured systems onboard to safe mode. The spacecraft then awaited instructions from engineers on Earth (or, more accurately, in Dawn mission control on the top floor of JPL's whimsically named building 264). A few hours later, when it was time for the weekly communications session, the Deep Space Network and mission controllers promptly recognized that the spacecraft was in safe mode. As with the safing in November, a small team gathered during the night to begin the diagnosis, and more team members joined after dawn. It did not take long to reach a conclusive explanation based on the error code stored by the software and other data downloaded from the spacecraft. The culprit was a cosmic ray. By the time the detailed analysis of the safing was concluding, mission controllers were already commanding the spacecraft step-by-step out of safe mode, returning it to its normal flight configuration. Within a few days, Dawn was ready to resume work, and before the end of the week was thrusting with its ion propulsion system again. (The effect of having missed some thrusting that week is not significant for the mission.) While Dawn will thrust during most of its interplanetary cruise, the flight plan includes some periods of coasting in addition to the normal weekly communications session. One such period was January 22 - 25. Most of this time was devoted to updating software in the main computer. The main software resides in 4 locations (well, 4 locations on the spacecraft): primary and backup copies in the primary main computer and primary and backup copies in the backup main computer. Three copies of flight software 7.0 were installed on the spacecraft in November. As reported in the last log, ournal_12_17_07.asp#backup, the primary main computer was scheduled to receive its backup copy during this break in thrusting. While it had been planned before launch to transmit 7.0 to the spacecraft in November, after the software was finalized, the need for one additional change was recognized. For technical reasons it was not necessary to change all the stored copies; rather, it was sufficient to modify (or patch) only

[meteorite-list] AD: Special - The Hard Nut from the Dark Planet Back to the Roots
Dear collectors, On our weekly trip we'll take you back to our origins this time and as a special, we will guide you to a strange place too. The first stone, which we want to introduce today, belongs to that type of meteorites, which for many collectors expresses the essence of their hobby. An unequilibrated Type-3 chondrite. While the chondrules-lovers enjoy to jaunt through the grand gardens of chondrules with the unaided eye or with low magnification, discovering time and again different and new ones, even the most blunted veteran collector sits sometimes back and is moved by a shiver, making himself aware to have on his desk a piece of the very primary matter, wherein lie all beginnings of all solid matter in our solar systems. Type-3 chondrites match closest that material, which formed the planetesimals, which in turn formed the planets. They are relicts from the beginnings, never heated to an extent, that they lost their important characteristics. They are the keys for understanding as they transport the information about the circumstances at the origin of our solar systems. In type-3 chondrites the chondrules aren't that intergrown with the matrix as in the meteorites of higher petrological grades, nor are they chemically equalized. The formation of chondrules - not yet fully understood - is one of the most important questions of modern planetology. From our practice we experienced that type-3 chondrites are best to change a mineral collector into a meteorite collector. Once aware, that the 3ers are the ur-stuff, wherefrom ALL the mineral specimen in the collections diversified - including as well as the collectors themselves! - he will totally fall for those fascinating objects of outer space. It is a remarkable deficiency: in each mineralogical compendium, in each course of studies in mineralogy at the universities must stand on the very beginning such an unequilibrated chondrite! Here you are. NWA 4900 as an L3 displays the whole variety of chondrules in all sizes and in a high density. The slices we priced at 9$/g. http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-nwa4900.html Second part is about our ureilite NWA 4896: Ureilites are loved by collectors for being the most uncommon achondrites falling from the sky and hated by dealers for bristling against abandoning their innermost. Cut and polished they radiate with their iridescent blackish grains and fields an aura of a mysterious elegance. Ureilites contain a lot of carbon in various modifications from graphite up to hexagonal and cubic diamonds, much more metal than any other achondrites (forming together with the carbon a lot of cohenite). And they are simply the hardest rocks in our solar system. It was Novo-Urei wherein 120 years ago, the first extraterrestrial diamonds were recovered. At least as hard as to crack the stones themselves it is to crack the riddle of their formation in modelling a parent body for that strange matter, to explain the complex processes and history which led from a source material, which must have resembled in several aspects some of the carbonaceous chondrites, to that black beauties we display in our showcases. It is a recurrent topic in mediocre SciFi-movies, that the hero is sentenced by a totalitarian regime to be sent to a place, where noone ever escaped, to escape, in most cases an icy planet. Obviously the writers aren't meteorite collectors, else they would send their protagonists in the mines of the ureilite parent body, a world of black and superhard rock. With our NWA 4896 we proof to be not so heroic and won't torture ourselves in trying to mess with this cross-grained belle to slice it up, because it is a classical, extremely hard representative of its type. In a spacial Golden ratio we removed the deposit classification specimen and decided to make a collector happy in him/her adding a main mass and exemplary showpiece of this fascinating type to the collection. Our recreancy is advantageous for the collector, as we will let the stone go at a price, which doesn't justice the material: 10$ per gram. http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-nwa4896.html Best Regards, Stefan Ralew Martin Altmann Chladni's Heirs Munich - Berlin Fine Meteorites for Science Collectors __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
