Hi,
I asked this a while ago on Greg Catterton's forum, and I was told that rocks
from the moon aren't as solid (tough) as Mars rocks, and therefore are less
likely to survive entry... yet what about all these Howardites?

Hi Captain,
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (kind of our national poet) wrote in 1811 that
poem:

Ein Hündchen wird gesuchet,
Das weder murrt noch beißt,
Zerbrochene Gläser frißt
Und Diamanten...
Can't translate it in rhymes,
Maybe Bernd can...

Dear list members,
some ebay auctions ending in the next few hours.
Some of the offers are currently at a very low price.
For example a 187g stone of Bassikounou.
But perhaps there other fixed price offers are interesting?

Hiho,
simply bad luck, but statistically not surprising.
We have only 1200 observed falls in total.
Each year - depending on the estimates - several thousands of meteorites
make it to the ground,
but only a few per mill of them are found afterwards.

Oh we got lots of those kinds of poets in this country. They often write

The moon is close to the earth and material knocked off the moon has a
relatively short time to reach the earth. The moon is also protected by the
earth. So there will be less material floating around to fall as meteorites.

Is there a theory for why there have been no witnessed falls of lunar
meteorites? It seems odd to me that we have 4 Martian witnessed falls

lunars.
One issue is that these 5 meteorites are 5 kg, 4 kg, 18 kg,

If that is the case then lunar meteorites would have to heat up quite a

from the fall?

Mars is farther away and not protected by a companion and its closer to the
asteroid belt so it receives many more impacts than the moon.
Not many more. Only a factor of two greater for Mars, but the average
velocity of the impactors is only 60% as great.
