Re: [meteorite-list] The Tabor 1753 fall
Hi Chris, the fall of Tabor was firstly documented in 1754 by the Bavarian-Bohemian astronomer Joseph Stepling (1716 - 1778)in his publication: De pluvia lapidea anni MDCCLIII ad Strkov pagum uno milliari Taborio Bohemiae urbe dissitum, et ejus causis meditatio, Pragae 1754 On the stone rain of the year 1753 at the village Strkov, situated one mile away from the Bohemian town Tabor, and thoughts about its causes. Maybe Edwin Thompson has this monography in his huge library?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Magazine
Hi Everyone: Part of the reason Nancy and I finally resigned as Editors of Meteorite was the lack of transparency with respect to things like subscriptions and how they were handled (Maria Haas, Nancy, and I tried to resolve this when we worked on the August issue, just before things happened that led to our resignation). I do not know how this might change now that everything is being done at the University of Arkansas where the magazine is actually published. If you only received the first issue, it is because you did not pay for 2010. Subscribers get the February issue and a notice to renew (not sure how this is done) and if they do not hear from you, I think that they just let your subscription expire (at least that is how I think it worked). Not the way I would like to see it handled and maybe with new people in Arkansas, things will improve. Frustrated ex-editor. Larry Lebofsky I have only received the first issue, too!

[meteorite-list] Geminid Meteor Shower Count
Listeors From my back yard in Surprise, AZ, between 1:50 AM and 2:43 AM I observed 55 meteors. I'm sure there were many fainter ones that I missed so I'm assuming that the per hour count in a nice dark area was much higher. It was a spectacular show. I'm curious as to how many of you went out, your count and your location.

Re: [meteorite-list] Geminid Meteor Shower Count
Dear Orrin and List: Thank you for the report from a neighbor here in Arizona. We had a wonderful show last night over Tucson. I spotted my first Geminid at about 7:30 pm, and checked back periodically, later in the night. The skies were very clear and after 12:30 am, once the Moon had set, we were counting ~65 per hour. Most were faint but about 1 in 10 meteors were quite spectacular, with long, bright trails. Easily the best Geminids shower I've ever seen. Hoping for a few more tonight.

The classifying scientists were also told this same information by the Moroccan dealer. Here is a link to two photos of one of the finders provided to me, is that you Aziz? 1) http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa5406/siksou1.jpg 2) http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa5406/siksou2.jpg I was also provided an image of some of the stones next to a GPS with coordinates clearly visible. A Google Earth search places the spot south of Laayoune and SSW of Smara in Western Sahara. Aziz, I appreciate your wanting to correct any false entries in the Bulletin like the rest of us. If Jack and I were provided with a false find location for NWA 4936/5406, please let us know what you know. If we were lied to, this is something only concerned Moroccans like yourself can try to correct with your fellow countrymen. If we were provided with false information, please contact your local friend and sometime partner in Morocco, he will want to correct any erroneous find locations as well. 'Confusion' like this is why meteorites found in the Sahara desert are assigned with an NWA designation number instead of an actual name of where they are found, or reported as found from. There is simply no confidence in this data because of a variety of reasons (i.e. keep the site secret, the finder did not have GPS, etc.). Here is part of my description for NWA 5406 that tries to explain another problem with original distribution of NWA 4936/5406: Initially there was some confusion concerning the combined Total Known Weight (TKW) of pairings of NWA 4936/5406 due to mismanaged distribution of the original eight stones by a Moroccan dealer. Eventually the puzzle was put together. After thorough searches of the find site, it has been established that there are eight individual stones that together constitute NWA 5406 (six stones 281g) and NWA 4936 (two complete stones 179g and one 20g type sample from one of the NWA 5406 stones) for a combined Total Known Weight of 480 grams. Two of the eight stones (179g total) were purchased in 2007 by a collector, who removed 20 grams from one of these complete stones and submitted it to a second scientist for classification without realizing the material had already been classified. Months later the two classifying scientists were able to piece together the puzzle when the final four stones were purchased, and another 20 grams was submitted and classified under the NWA 5406 designation. Luckily, all eight stones were proved to come from a single Moroccan dealer and/or finder then classified by the same scientist! In all, a combined total of 60.1 grams in type samples have been deposited at UWS and UAz. I hope this helps, Thank You for your concerns!

Here is a link to two photos of one of the finders provided to me, is that you Aziz? 1) http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa5406/siksou1.jpg 2) http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa5406/siksou2.jpg I was also provided an image of some of the stones next to a GPS with coordinates clearly visible. A Google Earth search places the spot south of Laayoune and SSW of Smara in Western Sahara. Aziz, I appreciate your wanting to correct any false entries in the Bulletin like the rest of us. If Jack and I were provided with a false find location for NWA 4936/5406, please let us know what you know. If we were lied to, this is something only concerned Moroccans like yourself can try to correct with your fellow countrymen. If we were provided with false information, please contact your local friend and sometime partner in Morocco, he will want to correct any erroneous find locations as well. 'Confusion' like this is why meteorites found in the Sahara desert are assigned with an NWA designation number instead of an actual name of where they are found, or reported as found from. There is simply no confidence in this data because of a variety of reasons (i.e. keep the site secret, the finder did not have GPS, etc.). Here is part of my description for NWA 5406 that tries to explain another problem with original distribution of NWA 4936/5406: Initially there was some confusion concerning the combined Total Known Weight (TKW) of pairings of NWA 4936/5406 due to mismanaged distribution of the original eight stones by a Moroccan dealer. Eventually the puzzle was put together. After thorough searches of the find site, it has been established that there are eight individual stones that together constitute NWA 5406 (six stones 281g) and NWA 4936 (two complete stones 179g and one 20g type sample from one of the NWA 5406 stones) for a combined Total Known Weight of 480 grams.

Saw 56 during the 40 mins, one lasting over 3 seconds, 4 with very brief trains, ~2 seconds). Temp was 18 F so maybe it was a good thing those clouds moved in after all. ;-) The spot I observe from usually has anywhere from 2-10 others also watching.

Re: [meteorite-list] Geminid Meteor Shower Count
McCartney, List, There have been sightings of the Aurora Borealis in Texas, following sufficiently strong geomagnetic storms. The most recent observations of large-scale southern excursions of the aurora occurred on August 14, 2000: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/aurora_sightings_000814.html The most southerly sightings in the Northern Hemisphere of the aurora borealis were from El Paso and Seminole, Texas, about 32 degrees north latitude; Lubbock, Texas and Anza, California, 33 degrees; Wrightwood, California, 34 degrees; Las Vegas, Nevada and Harrison, Arkansas, 36 degrees; Rio Rancho, New Mexico, roughly 35 or 36 degrees; Stokesville, Virginia, 38 degrees; Lucas Point Park, Kansas, 39 degrees; Fillmore, Utah, 38 degrees along with Emerald, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Champaign, Illinois at 40 degrees north.. I've seen it just once (in many years) from 38° 56' N. That's easier than Austin (30° 15' N). The Great Aurora of September 1-2, 1859 was seen in Hawaii (20 degrees N.) Rome, and Havana, Cuba! In New England, the induced current was so strong that they could disconnect their telegraphs from their power and still operate on solar storm energy alone. http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/perfect_space_storm.html There was hope for Texas auroras in early August, 2010, after a major geomagnetic storm but I can find no confirmed observations from that date. There was a recent very major eruption on the Sun (although not aimed at Earth), but your observations are in no way impossible. There may be more to come... Sterling K.

Re: [meteorite-list] Aurora Borealis last night (was: Geminid MeteorShower Count)
Thanks for posting that, Bernd. That explains a sighting I experienced in southern Illinois around that date. I stepped outside for some fresh air after a late night band rehearsal and for a moment thought that the sunset was still lingering. Then I realized it was well after midnight. There were large, shifting areas of pink and purplish colors, rather than the green which is apparently more common. That was the only time I've ever seen the aurora, but I'd sure like to get up to Alaska and take in some more. I still haven't seen a total solar eclipse either. One of these days...

Re: [meteorite-list] Off topic- the weather IS getting worse
You guys need to move to Colorado! So far barely one light sprinkling of snow here, and 65 degrees today. And maybe another sprinkling tomorrow (Thanks to ET and Gary!) But all the ski resorts are getting feet upon feet of snow. They are very happy. Except of course when Highway 70 is closed because of blizzard conditions. I hope that will last, at least until February when I have to drive to Tucson! Anne M.

[meteorite-list] Ad- Complete Pasamonte stone offered
Hi everyone, we are selling a gorgeous, absolutely perfect, complete Pasamonte individual. It weighs 5.8 grams and comes with museum provenance. This beauty is a real gem. I remember 25 years ago selling a 9 gram stone similar to this one and the collector telling me that he would be buried with this stone! Makes me smile every time I recall that moment.

[meteorite-list] Geminid Meteor Shower Count
Hi Listees I was out last night from 2:00 A.M to 3:10 A.M and stopped viewing at 100 meteors.My viewing location in Donegal in the West of Ireland is extremely dark and I saw plenty of faint and short meteors as well as a number of bright ones and a dozen or so that left trails lasting a second or 2. It was very cold here so I had a hood up and I was messing around with my camera trying to catch my first meteor on film(well, digital) so I suspect I missed quite a few as my eyes weren't always looking straight up.I did have a couple move straight thru my camera FOV but they didn't show on review.I suspect I had the ISO setting wrong as it's the one thing I forgot to adjust until I saw it mentioned online somewhere today.And it's cloudy tonight of course One thing that did surprise me with this fantastic display last night was the number of meteors that were right at the edge of my vision going to the horizon.They were all Geminids as the radiant was correct.One other thing that was quite exciting was the couple of times when I saw 6 meteors in a minute,that really got me thinking of the great Leonid shower of 1966,what that must have looked like to see 1000 a minute.

Re: [meteorite-list] Off topic- the weather IS getting worse
Well yesterday all roads closed so could not get to work. Blew snow at 7am and then again at 7pm. Today the same as well as having to rake the carport roof and then go over to our church to blow even more snow. My boy down in London (Ontario) had 7 feet of snow in a couple of days. More snow is on the way. Southern Ontario has been hit hard. Fortunatley no tornados. That would be really wild to have tons of snow and a tornado.

Re: [meteorite-list] Off topic- the weather IS getting worse + On topic Geminid pic
Carl, Don't jinx this! We just got here from Manitoba on Friday and are thoroughly enjoying the 100 degree leap in our ambient temperatures. It is perfect. We're on a resort in Apache Junction and I took the mutts out to the dogpark around 9pm last night and set up the camera with a wide-angle trained to the east. Loosed off half a dozen 2 minute exposures and never caught anything. I had long exposure noise reduction turned on so there was an equal amount of time between shots while the camera collected noise data from the sensor to subtract from the frame information. Over about 30 minutes I didn't see any meteors. However the place is lit with numerous sodium lamps and the scatter and flare in the sky was awfully strong. Would have thought to have caught something as cloud cover was whispy and minimal and you could see the majority of the bright stars just fine. Called it a night, but got up at six and this time headed to the ball diamond away from the lights as best I could. Sky was still pretty clear with some patchy haze. Saw one bright one dropping vertically in the east as I was setting up and got about 6 frames off before the dawn got the better of the heavens. Over about 30 minutes I saw about 5, most of them appearing roughly to the south. Only managed to get one in frame... http://pict.co.uk/geminid.jpg (typically all the rest decided to pop into view as the camera was doing its noise reduction thing). In comparison to some of the astrophotography out there, this is extraordinarily lame, but I'm quite please I got something at my first attempt. Image is looking roughly south with the camera axis elevated to about 75 degrees from horizontal. Angle of view is around 100 degrees diagonally. Is the temporal distribution of these things completely random or do they tend to arrive in 'clumps' or with relatively constant intervals between them? I don't think I was seeing enough to get a feel for this. Regards, John On 14/12/2010 19:22, cdtuc...@cox.net cdtuc...@cox.net wrote: ET, Mike, all, Thanks so much for the warning.

[meteorite-list] Aurora Borealis last night (was: Geminid MeteorShower Count)
Good morning Listees and Listoids, Last night Linton also wrote: There were large, shifting areas of pink and purplish colors, rather than the green which is apparently more common. Sky Telescope, July 1981, p. 86: Auroras above 240 km (150 miles) are mainly red from light given off by oxygen atoms. Between 100 and 240 km it is the green light from oxygen that is most apparent, and below these altitudes the red and blue light of nitrogen atoms is strongest. It is likely this latter source was responsible for much of the April [1981] display.
