Hi McCartney, I'm betting on lee side. I've seen quite a few oriented stones with radial flow lines on both sides with the lee side showing, in all the cases I've seen, the fainter lines.

[meteorite-list] The truth is way, way out there
http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/20751.asp The hidden UFO bases in the asteroid belt India Daily Technology Team Jul. 26, 2009 Do you really believe the asteroid belt is stable all on a sudden just like that? What is this asteroid belt? According to Wickipedia, The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main belt to distinguish it from other concentrations of minor planets within the Solar System, such as the Kuiper belt and scattered disc. Between Mars and Jupiter, gravitational perturbations from the giant planet imbued the planetesimals with too much orbital energy for them to accrete into a planet. Collisions became too violent, and instead of sticking together, the planetesimals shattered. As a result, most of the main belt's mass has been lost since the formation of the Solar System. Some fragments can eventually find their way into the inner Solar System, leading to meteorite impacts with the inner planets. Now scientists are finding clues that this asteoid belt serves as a hidden UFO base from where extra terrestrial civilizatilons watch the earth civilization very closely. The asteroid belt is also rich in mnerals and energy. The high population of the main belt makes for a very active environment, where collisions between asteroids occur frequently (on astronomical time scales). Collisions between main belt bodies with a mean radius of 10 km are expected to occur about once every 10 million years. But the collissions are actually well controlled. The belt serves as major UFO bases.

Re: [meteorite-list] Martian and Lunar meteorites
List, Interesting! I have a question. How is this possible? As Martin pointed out earlier, there is no way to set aside the required 20% or 20 grams for future study? In addition , Going by this scientific technique; how do we know that all of or at least some of the other rocks sniffed on Mars are not also meteorites? It seems a bit like the Tail wagging the dog here to me? Maybe this is why none of the official Mars meteorites match the rocks we sniffed on Mars? Maybe they are also meteorites? Where is Barnacle Bill really from? Maybe he's a meteorite from Earth because I think andesite is found on Earth ? Just curious what the Metsoc peeps are thinking?

[meteorite-list] Video of Ash Creek meteorites being found in West, TX
I've put together my short 'find videos' that I make every time I find a stone (and I have a camera handy). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtQznLtB9Lg And for those who remember I had another video of a meteorite found near West, it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZbgCSSaAEw I wasn't sure if it was a Ash Creek at first, but now that it is cut there is no doubt. The slices are at http://outofabluesky.com/index.php?option=com_jportfoliocat=4project=46Itemid=58 And for something completely different - the biggest god-damned feral hive I've ever seen in Texas.

Re: [meteorite-list] Example of Lipping and direction stumper. TAKE 2
Hi McCartney, In the photo, first of all, if it is an oriented meteorite (and it seams to be) one is looking at the flat back side. One can see SOME Lipping on the left - especially, the upper left, but this specimen certainly does not display much in the way of lipping. In addition, some of the flow lines (very slight) on the back indicate that during part of the fall, the flat back side of the stone Flipped around and was the face (or one might say it spent some Time tumbling as it moved through the atmosphere). All of these and many more phenomena will be explained with LOTS of photos in my book which is nearly ready to go to print and Should be available shortly. I have narrowed down the name and it will be, ASPECTS OF ORIENTED METEORITES or METEORITES SHOWING ASPECTS OF ORIENTATION.

Re: [meteorite-list] Example of Lipping and direction stumper. TAKE 2
Hi McCartney, Michael and all, I agree with Michael that this is the back side of an oriented meteorite. The lipping shows that. I also agree with him that it flipped during flight and that this side was once the leading side, but but neccessarily because of the flow lines. Generally the front side of an oriented meteorite has thinner crust than the rear side. Since we can see many chondrules through the crust, I think that the thin crust supports that it was once the leading edge.

[meteorite-list] Hubble Space Telescope Captures Rare Jupiter Collision
July 24, 2009 Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 dwayne.c.br...@nasa.gov Ray Villard Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore 410-338-4514 vill...@stsci.edu RELEASE: 09-176 HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE CAPTURES RARE JUPITER COLLISION BALTIMORE -- NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has taken the sharpest visible-light picture yet of atmospheric debris from an object that collided with Jupiter on July 19. NASA scientists decided to interrupt the recently refurbished observatory's checkout and calibration to take the image of a new, expanding spot on the giant planet on July 23. Discovered by Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley, the spot was created when a small comet or asteroid plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere and disintegrated. The only other time such a feature has been seen on Jupiter was 15 years ago after the collision of fragments from comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. Because we believe this magnitude of impact is rare, we are very fortunate to see it with Hubble, said Amy Simon-Miller of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Details seen in the Hubble view shows a lumpiness to the debris plume caused by turbulence in Jupiter's atmosphere. The new Hubble images also confirm that a May servicing visit by space shuttle astronauts was a big success. This image of the impact on Jupiter is fantastic, said U.S. Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, D-Md., chairwoman of the Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Subcommittee. It tells us that our astronauts and the ground crew at the Goddard Space Flight Center successfully repaired the Hubble telescope. I'm so proud of them and I can't wait to see what's next from Hubble. For the past several days, Earth-based telescopes have been trained on Jupiter. To capture the unfolding drama 360 million miles away, Matt Mountain, director of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, gave observation time to a team of astronomers led by Heidi Hammel of the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo. Hubble's truly exquisite imaging capability has revealed an astonishing wealth of detail in the impact site, Hammel said. By combining these images with our ground-based data at other wavelengths, our Hubble data will allow a comprehensive understanding of exactly what is happening to the impact debris. Simon-Miller estimated the diameter of the impacting object was the size of several football fields. The force of the explosion on Jupiter was thousands of times more powerful than the suspected comet or asteroid that exploded over the Siberian Tunguska River Valley in June 1908. The image was taken with the Wide Field Camera 3. The new camera, installed by the astronauts aboard space shuttle Atlantis in May, is not yet fully calibrated. While it is possible to obtain celestial images, the camera's full power has yet to be seen. This is just one example of what Hubble's new, state-of-the-art camera can do, thanks to the STS-125 astronauts and the entire Hubble team, said Ed Weiler, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. However, the best is yet to come.
