[meteorite-list] Ensisheim 2008 circular and program
(Sorry if this comes twice) Dear List, The circular describing the 9th international meteorite show « Ensisheim 2008 » is finally ready. You can find it at the following web sites (from next Monday April 28 on): http://meteorite.ensisheim.free.fr or www.ville-ensisheim.fr. I can also provide the circular (in English or French) by mail, as attachment, to anyone, on specific request. The main characteristics/changes/warnings... of the 2008 edition are the following: Dates: June 21 and 22, 2008 (as always, the week-end preceding the Ste Marie mineral show). Friday 20 is the dealers day. The palace rooms are open exclusively to dealers and co-dealers and, of course, to the organizing committee. This, to avoid unnecessary wandering of many people through the halls while not guarded and while dealers are busy in setting their tables. (Preliminary business arrangements should be made in preference outside the palace). The 2008 thematic display is related to all kind of meteorites (old, historical, freshly found, large, weird, odd types ) found or fallen in former Eastern Europe countries, including the wide Russia (from Pskov to Provideniya). We hope to be able to show you many uncommon and nice specimens, thanks to the cooperation of some keen specialized meteorite collectors. Thanks Sergey, thanks Marcin, thanks everybody who is willing to bring along some Eastern specials from their hidden collections and lend them for display during the show). Hey, this is a call for samples! This year, the lectures are not directly related to the display. We have selected two very different topics that are always of high interest to every meteorite afficionado, (Meteorite Classification by E. Dransart, from EMTT lecture on Saturday), and also to the wide public (Controversial Origin of the Moon, by J.C. Lefebvre, our customary lecturer from Astrophysics Institute in Liege University, Belgium, lecture on Sunday). Friday PARTY: He, he, this is now becoming a must, as it uses to be in Tucson, Munich Last year, for the first attempt, we were 94 of us comfortably squeezed in the La Couronne cellar (for the first time we had a humid, medium-fresh weather). As you could see from the selected pics sent last July, this never did kill the hot ambience, animated discussions, enhanced by good food and excellent wine (beer?). This year, the similar dinner-party (so far absolutely unavoidable!) is again scheduled on Friday night (June 20, after the late afternoon friendly drinks and ceremonies) at La Couronne hotel, hopefully this time in their even more snug outside resort (yes, we have ordered our friendly skies and winds to co-operate). A selected meal is proposed for 25 euro, everything included, except beverage (imagine everybodys shape the next morning if beverage were included ). Party can end any time. Everybody (organizers, dealers, close friends, loose friends, relatives, related, tramps, unknowns...) attending (or not) the enthroning ceremonies and the friendly drink that follow the end of the dealers day (Friday late afternoon, about 18:00), is welcome! But please, let me know in time, thus before June 6 (flexible), if you want to attend (and how many guests you will bring). Here, reservation is a must, for obvious reasons (menu selection and preparation in advance). Fun absolutely guaranteed during the party (the one who could not have fun must pay ME a beer!) And ask for a wake-up call if you don't want to miss the start of the meteorite hot rush the next morning... Other meals: Saturday and Sunday: traditional lunches. Saturday dinner: traditional roasted (or alike) wild boar, served on the main dancing square, carefully stewed by the team of cooks from La Couronne. Friendly prices were negotiated. Should you wish the special vintage Ensisheim-Meteorite 1492 Pinot Gris to accompany your meals, it will be permanently available at its tag price. The Guardians Confraternity is still permanently providing all other traditional snacks, including the very popular tarte flambée (Alsatian pie), all served outside, on the main square (or inside the sun-protected tent, - as said, rain is neither invited nor envisaged). All the other activities on the main square (beer, wine sale, beer, tee shirts, beer, discussions,, beer...) are maintained (some highly recommended!). Accommodation: As last year, we have now 4 comfortable hotels to propose, namely La Couronne, Niemerich, Cheval Blanc and the newly open (2007), Le Domaine du Moulin. Everybody must arrange for his own accommodation. You can find all hotel data (phone, fax, e-mail, web sites) in the circular. And, if you call, they do speak English! This year again, 5 new brothers will join the funny assembly of the Meteorite Guardians: Svend Bühl (D), Mike Farmer (US), John Kashuba (US), Hans Koser (Uy) and Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin (F but working in Munich). Hmmm, I have

[meteorite-list] pronouncing Ensisheim
Hi Anne, Larry, all I'll try to help in pronouncing Ensisheim. As you said, Anne, Alsace (Ensisheim) changed nationality many times during the modern era (for details, I urge you to read and re-read the nice book of Philippe Thomas and Lea Dejouy Histoire de Météorites, part 1: Ensisheim (2005, 184 pp, euro 26.40, discounted on Meteoritica web site). Basically, people here still use to speak Alsacian (which is considered as a language, thus more than a dialect). It is close to German (or Swiss German) and the pronounciation of Ensisheim is the same in both languages, something as Enn-Siss-Haym. But the Alsace region is now in France where French is the only official language. French rather pronounce Enn-Siss-Heym (close but different at the end). I'll be glad to read how it is actually pronounced in other foreign languages (Dirk ?) This being, if I can help anybody in trying to write how to pronounce other names of French meteorites, I can try. Just ask. The weirdest name to pronounce correctly in English seems to be Orgueil. I even can't find how to write the end part, as this is the tricky one (but I can consult experts in writing phonetic pronounciations). I am however voulonteering to give particular pronounciation lessons next June during the Ensisheim show (for which I just sent you many details a few minutes ago). Best wishes, Zelimir A 16:08 24/04/2008 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Hello Larry and List, Obviously, you are talking about the Ensisheim Show, and I pronince the name the way that looks most likely to me, something like En-zi-sheim. But mybe you should ask the local people since yes, the area has changed nationality repeatedly thru the centuries. Maybe Zelimir can help. But I can help you with Orgueil, or L'Aigle. And many names are easy to pronounce if you break them down, something like: Mill-bill-hill-lie.or Ta-fa-ssa-sset. Nothing to it!!!

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rover Update - April 10-17, 2008
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html#opportunity OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Opportunity Reverses Path - sol 1498-1504, April 10-17, 2008: During the past week, Opportunity celebrated another major milestone by reaching 1,500 sols (Martian days) of continuous exploration of the red planet! Meanwhile, Opportunity continued to execute a toe dip stategy of driving forward a short distance and backing up again to characterize the sandy terrain beneath the rover's wheels. While driving toward the promontory known as Cape Verde in the rim of Victoria Crater, Opportunity experienced wheel slippage of more than 90 percent. The rover also experienced high tilt during the backward part of the drive. Following a series of adjustments to both slippage and tilt limits, Opportunity's front wheels had begun to dig into the terrain. At that point, the rover's handlers decided to concentrate on driving backward to extract the rover's front wheels and prevent them from digging further into the sand. Making slow and steady progress, as of sol 1502 (April 15, 2008), Opportunity had driven backward 24 centimeters (9.5 inches) with no errors, giving rover drivers hope that the rover would soon be out of the sand. Opportunity's handlers implemented a Stow/Go/Unstow strategy of unstowing the robotic arm after each day's drive to avoid having the arm in the stow position during thermal cycling (overnight temperature changes). This freed the arm for full use of its scientific tools in the event of a cold-induced motor failure. On sol 1502 (April 15, 2008), while attempting to unstow the arm, Opportunity experienced a stall in the joint that controls shoulder position. The nature of the stall appeared to be different from previous stalls in the same joint (known as Joint 1). On sol 1504 (April 17, 2008), the rover's handlers directed Opportunity to run a diagnostic test of movement in the robotic arm. While moving the joint, Opportunity experienced another stall. Investigation of this anomaly is expected to continue for the remainder of this week. Opportunity is healthy and all subsystems are performing as expected, with the exception of the investigation of the robotic arm. Immediate plans call for continued focus on getting out of the sand and resolving the robotic-arm anomaly. Sol-by-sol summary: In addition to receiving morning instructions directly from Earth via the rover's high-gain antenna, sending data back to Earth via the UHF antenna on the Mars Odyssey orbiter, and measuring atmospheric dust with the panoramic camera, Opportunity completed the following activities: Sol 1498 (April 10, 2008): Opportunity surveyed the horizon and the sky and measured atmospheric dust at sunset with the panoramic camera. After transmitting data to Odyssey, the rover measured atmospheric argon with the alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer. Sol 1499: In the early part of the sol, Opportunity took thumbnail images of the sky with the panoramic camera and shot a 4-frame movie of potential clouds with the navigation camera. The rover stowed the robotic arm, drove toward Cape Verde, acquired post-drive images with the hazard-avoidance cameras, and unstowed the robotic arm. Sol 1500: Opportunity acquired a full-color, 2-by-1 panel of images of Cape Verde using all 13 filters of the panoramic camera. Sol 1501: Opportunity recharged the battery. Sol 1502: Opportunity started the day by monitoring dust on the panoramic-camera mast assembly and measuring atmospheric dust. The rover stowed the robotic arm, drove toward Cape Verde, acquired images of the wheel cleats in the rover's tracks to assess traction and other post-drive images with the hazard-avoidance cameras. Opportunity unstowed the robotic arm before sending data to Odyssey and going to sleep. Sol 1503: In the morning, Opportunity surveyed the horizon with the panoramic camera. The rover acquired microscopic images of the robotic arm to document changes during the diagnostic test of the arm's ability to move. Sol 1504 (April 17, 2008): In the morning, Opportunity acquired full-color images, using all 13 filters of the panoramic camera, of trenches created by the rover's wheels that have been informally named Williams and Harland. The rover took spot images of the sky for calibration purposes with the panoramic camera and ran more diagnostic tests of the robotic arm. Opportunity took thumbnail images of the sky with the panoramic camera. After relaying data to Odyssey, the rover used the alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer to measure argon gas in the atmosphere. Plans for the next morning called for the rover to take more thumbnail images of the sky with the panoramic camera. Odometry: As of sol 1502 (April 15, 2008), Opportunity's total odometry was 11,691.49 meters (7.26 miles). __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com

[meteorite-list] Vintage Unitron Metallurgical Microscope
Hi folks! While shopping for a microscope today, I ran across this rare Unitron metallurgical microscope. I will admit, if my PayPal warchest was fully primed, this post would be LOOK WHAT I BOUGHT!, but I have to pass on it now because I have too many meteoritical irons in the fire, so to speak. This is one of the top of the line Unitron microscopes and this is only the second one I have ever seen in my several years of buying and restoring old microscopes and telescopes. I have never seen one in this complete and excellent condition. I share this link because I thought that someone here in the group might be able to appreciate such a fine vintage optic. For the record - I have no connection whatsoever to the seller. I found this auction by chance. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=250238739589 Ideally, this is the type of microscope I am looking for currently, but with a smaller price tag. My stepson repossessed the microscope I had borrowed from him (a newer Meade), so now I am shopping for an older Lafayette/Selsi/Tasco/Unitron/Atco microscope. If someone has one available, here are my criteria : 1) all metal construction, including the focus knobs. No plastic or phenolic knobs please - these date from a later period when optical quality was slipping. 2) Wooden storage case with felt-lined wood dividers - no styrofoam present, as that type also dates from the later period. 3) Binocular head desirable but not necessary. 4) Working mechanical stage and iris diaphragm preferred. Make me an offer for one. I have cash and/or trade, including meteorites and optics. Regards, MikeG . Michael Gilmer (Louisiana, USA) Member of the Meteoritical Society.

I stumbled across this one today: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/opportunity/20080102a.html To me it looks like the redder layered Martian rocks are mixed in with fresher, darker coloured rocks. Could this be target rocks and meteorites mixed in together?

Wow, check out the crescent-shaped sand dunes-- like the toenail clippings of a Titan: http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/tmp/Martian_dunes.gif http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/tmp/Martian_dunes.jpg __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] King Tut Meteorite
Greetings, Great photos Bob! #3 is a remarkable cross section of a heat shield form of orientation. Which suggests that the temperature signature of the shielded portion might be deciphered. The flow which pooled to the sheltered area is about as full of vesicles as I have ever seen only surpassed in one of the lunars. When the melt has time to come to a boil-- so to speak, are there additional gases released from the meteorite's matrix or does this represent some atmospheric mixing / frothing. The frothing seems to increase with later deposits. Anyone have thoughts on the dynamics of how this unique crust formed and perhaps the duration? A percentage of mass has been moved into the sheltered zone and I wonder how long it took to pool there then come to a boil. On the other hand, the sudden presence of the vesicles near the rear surface might be reflect a correlation to a thicker atmosphere toward the end of flight. Inquiring minds...
