[meteorite-list] Who wants a 1.7gram martianite?

2011-05-22 Thread Leoncio Cividanes Álvarez

NewScientist has launched a contest to win a fragment of NWA 2975, you just 
have to register and send what you think the first person to set foot on Mars 
should say at that moment.

[meteorite-list] Range of S.G.Values

2011-05-22 Thread David Gunning

Hi All,

It's been pointed-out to me in a private email that two of the specific
gravity values cited in my recent post may be suspect.

It's been suggested that the Tatahouine specimen cannot be correct. 
The reasoning is that Tata is essentially a pyroxenite with the typical
composition of a diogenitic pyroxene of Fe 24, the SG would be at least
3.4.

After re-checking I can see that the correct specific gravity value for
this specimen is 3.34 and not the 1.43 previously arrived at. Ooops!

Thanks to Ted for pointing that out to me.

The other suspect reading is the Allende at 3.47.  In rechecking I
arrive at the same specific gravity of 3.47 for the Allende.

According to a 2002 paper by Britt and Consolmagno the specific gravity,
referred to as the Grain Density, of the Diogenites ranges between from
3.30 to 3.47.  A specific gravity of 3.34 is within that range of values.

The same 2002 paper cites the specific gravity of the Carbonaceous
Chondrites, including Allende, as having a range of specific gravity
values of between from 3.26 to 3.58.  At 3.47 the specific gravity of the
Allende is within that range of values.

There are very few, if any, minerals on earth or from outer space that
have a firm and fixed specific gravity value.  One that comes to mind is
diamond at 3.51, although it, too, can have a slight range of values.

The measuring of specific gravity, or grain density, is a relatively
simple and inexpensive way to double check the likelihood that there has
been no mix-up in a given meteorite stated sample's pedigree.

Respectfully submitted,

David Gunning

[meteorite-list] Atlanta Fireball 2011-05-20 / Caught on allsky cameras

2011-05-22 Thread Mike Hankey
Hi Folks,

A large fireball was reported over Atlanta on Friday night. The
fireball was caught on two allsky cameras operated by Bill Cooke and
the MEO.

You can see the videos, witness reports and a map of the witness plots here:

[meteorite-list] Question - meteorites returned from Moon

2011-05-22 Thread Laurence Garvie
A 1976 paper in Earth and Planetary Science Letters describes a unique 
chondrite (meteorite) returned from the Moon. The fragment measures 3 x 1.5 mm 
and shows some similarities with the CI meteorites.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question - meteorites returned from Moon

2011-05-22 Thread aerubin
The sample described in the McSween paper is Bench Crater.  There are  
also a few iron fragments that are probably iron meteorites, but they  
have not been officially designated.  There are probably additional  
small meteorites waiting to be discovered.

[meteorite-list] Bigfoot and the Nakhla Dog - what do they have in common?

2011-05-22 Thread Kevin Kichinka
Team Meteorite:

While I am pursuing other projects now and can't take the time to
again pursue/review or explain my peer-reviewed and published thesis
(see David Weir Meteorite Studies and Nakhla) that absolves the
Nakhla meteorite of dogocide, one argument that was made in support
of this crime against canines was that I couldn't prove it DIDN'T
HAPPEN.


Never mind that no one recovered a bloody meteorite or a dead dog
allegedly killed on the wrong day at the wrong place.


Science and logic are brothers in arms. My brief, college-time
exposure to debate (as a competition), taught me that if one argued
this double negative, by rule you lost the debate. Something about
being logical...


Just for fun, I bring this up as I read on Yahoo about the world's
Top Ten unexplained things.  Here's a quote from the article, please
pay special attention to the last sentence:


For decades, large, hairy, manlike beasts called Bigfoot have
occasionally been reported by eyewitnesses across America. Despite the
thousands of Bigfoot that must exist for a breeding population, not a
single body has been found. Not one has been killed by a hunter,
struck dead by a speeding car, or even died of natural causes. In the
absence of hard evidence like teeth or bones, support comes down to
eyewitness sightings and ambiguous photos and films. Since it is
logically impossible to prove a universal negative, science will never
be able to prove that creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster
do not exist, and it is possible that these mysterious beasts lurk far
from prying eyes.


Very, very far indeed.


Long live the Nakhla Dog.

The one particular tale I heard 2nd-hand was from man who talked to a driver 
who said he hit  killed one in Colorado many years ago. He said he was 
detained for a bit by a special group of police, while another group cleaned 
his truck of all evidence of his fatal encounter with Bigfoot.

Mike,

You posted twice on a subject that doesn't belong on this list. I am sure 
there are people on the list who are biting their tongues right now. 
Everyone has a right to believe what they want to and that includes you but 
when you put such posts on a list dedicated to meteorites you are just 
asking for someone to defend their believes by your post. I am sure there 
are other people here who have a different belief system than you.


I didn't post anything to the list the first time, but time to call you out 
on this. Keep your anit-religious believes off this forum and just talk 
meteorites and meteorite related topics so we don't get into a can of worms 
here. Thank you.

Team Meteorite:

While I am pursuing other projects now and can't take the time to
again pursue/review or explain my peer-reviewed and published thesis
(see David Weir Meteorite Studies and Nakhla) that absolves the
Nakhla meteorite of dogocide, one argument that was made in support
of this crime against canines was that I couldn't prove it DIDN'T
HAPPEN.


Never mind that no one recovered a bloody meteorite or a dead dog
allegedly killed on the wrong day at the wrong place.


Science and logic are brothers in arms. My brief, college-time
exposure to debate (as a competition), taught me that if one argued
this double negative, by rule you lost the debate. Something about
being logical...


Just for fun, I bring this up as I read on Yahoo about the world's
Top Ten unexplained things.  Here's a quote from the article, please
pay special attention to the last sentence:


For decades, large, hairy, manlike beasts called Bigfoot have
occasionally been reported by eyewitnesses across America. Despite the
thousands of Bigfoot that must exist for a breeding population, not a
single body has been found. Not one has been killed by a hunter,
struck dead by a speeding car, or even died of natural causes. In the
absence of hard evidence like teeth or bones, support comes down to
eyewitness sightings and ambiguous photos and films. Since it is
logically impossible to prove a universal negative, science will never
be able to prove that creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster
do not exist, and it is possible that these mysterious beasts lurk far
from prying eyes.


Very, very far indeed.


Long live the Nakhla Dog.


Thanks to all who sent me birthday greetings this week!

2011-05-22 Thread Galactic Stone Ironworks
Hi Al,

I'm sorry if I offended you or anyone else on the list.  I was just
trying to make some humor, albeit in a poor manner apparently.   For
the record, I am not anti-religious.  I am a deeply spiritual person,
but not in the usual mainstream manner. I have compassion for my
fellow man and all living things on this Earth and a deep respect for
nature.  What I don't like is insane old charlatans making statements
designed to create chaos and generate publicity and revenue.

Imagine the children in this situation.  Mom and Dad suddenly go off
the deep end listening to this self-proclaimed messenger of God.  They
sell off the house, quit their jobs, and drag the kids across the
country in a mini-van with the word Rapture plastered all over it.
At the end of the day, the child is now homeless and his parents have
no means to properly care for him.  That is child abuse and the old
man who announced this prophecy should be brought up on criminal
charges or hit with a civil suit.  One cannot yell Fire! in a
crowded theatre, and one should not be allowed to maliciously disrupt
the lives of countless families to the detriment of the children
involved.  I don't feel sorry for the gullible sheeple adults who fell
for this nonsense, but their kids have no say in it.

I have a problem with BS and I have never been afraid to call BS when
I see it.  The God of Moses will send the messiah like a thief in the
night and none shall know the day of his arrival.

I have read 3 translations of the Bible (also the Apocrypha) cover to
cover, and most of the world's major holy books, including the Koran,
the Bardo Thudo, the Bhagavad Gita, Book of the Mormon, the Classics
of Confucianism, Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Satanic Bible (a joke
and insult to the mind, but I had to read it to understand it), the
Tanakh and the Torah, and I could go on.  In all, I have digested
about 2 dozen of the world's holiest books during my spiritual search.
  So I am not anti-religious.  I am anti-BS and this recent rapture
nonsense was exactly that - malicious BS designed to attract publicity
and profit.  Or, it was the delusional ramblings of a self-aggrandizer
who should be medicated and placed in a treatment facility.

I was baptized, took communion, attended Eucharist, and meditated in a
Buddhist temple.  I have also attended two Witches' Sabbats.   I think
you get my point.   I don't mean to offend, and I often stick my foot
into my mouth.  And when I do offend, I always apologize and mean it.
I like you Al, always have.  And I don't want you pissed off at me, so
I hope you can forgive my attempt at humor that started this.

Jesus was one cool dude, full of love, compassion, and wisdom.  I wish
everyone could be like him - the world would be a better place.
Unfortunately, nutjobs like Harold Camping hijack the message of Jesus
for profit - and people like that should be firmly rebuked, IMO.

I was going to send this to you privately, but since you called me out
on the list, I am replying in public.  But this will be my last post
on the list about this and if you want to continue the discussion in
private, we can.   And I want to re-iterate, my apology to you is
sincere.  :)

Best regards,

MikeG
