Re: [meteorite-list] T-shirt (and French Fall)
Hi Bill, You are giving here a wrong reference. We were speaking about LOUIS Poyet (1846-1913) the famous specialist in engravings who lived in Paris. See here: http://www.gonefishing.fr/article-le-graveur-du-dimanche-louis-poyet-48802161.html You refer to JEAN Poyet, a protographer who left thousands of true photographs taken between 1902 and 1956 in the Epernay area, whare he lived. Click on the first link (video) on your own link. Unless there is another Poyet in concern ? I also went through quite a number of Louis Poyet's engravings (Google etc) but could not spot anywhere a painting/engraving showing a meteorite fall in wheat field...

People who stood outside their houses noticed a black cloud towards the direction where the noise came from: the black cloud was like an explosion smoke, very different from the ordinary clouds covering (that day) the whole skies. 2 farmers (Perrotin father son) noticed an ignited object falling in the South-East direction, so close from where they stood so that they could notice the exact place where the object hit the ground. Nobody considered seeking the aerolite the same day. But the next day, a Mr. Elliot, having consulted the witnesses, found at that exact place a dense stone weighing 282.5 grams, burried 0.1 meter deep, the hole dimensions on the surface being 0.06 x 0.04 m. The number of shots heard at St Caprais and in the neighboring villages could assume the presence of other fragments; but the latter, if ever existed, were never collected (ZG note: it is not said that they were never FOUND...) . - The rest of the text deals with some aerolite characteristics, probably not worth further translation. This is thus a rapid translation of the major events of interest for the issue, of concern. I believe Bernd, who is sure as fluent in French as myself, would agree. Apparently this does not trow more light to the mystery as it was obviously the winter time and even around Bordeaux, there

Hello Pierre, congratulations on this excellent new website and thanks for the effort! There's one question about the meteorite of BEUSTE. http://meteor-center.com/encyclopedie/?p=73 It's always said that the Musée de Pau contains the 420g mass. When I went to Beuste and Pau last year I wanted to see the specimen. That's why I phoned all the museums of Pau to find out in which museum in Pau the meteorite is exhibited. Strangely, on the phone no museum in Pau could confirm that they actually have or exhibit this meteorite. Even the mayor of Beust couldn't help. Can anyone confirm that the 420g BEUSTE mass is actually still held in a museum in Pau? Has anyone actually seen it there in the recent past?

The year 2012 saw a new record set for most meteorite falls in a single year in the 21st century. I started keeping detailed records of every new meteorite fall that is recovered or reported by reliable sources. Some of these have not been officially approved by the Meteoritical Society yet, but that is not unusual. In 2012, eleven (11) new meteorite falls fit the above criteria to be included on my list. Prior to 2012, the most falls in a single 21st century year (since 2000), was ten falls in 2008. On average, since the year 2000, we have averaged about 5 recovered meteorite falls per year that are either officially accepted by the Meteoritical Society or verified by reliable sources (such as the 2008 Zunhua meteorite fall, which has not been officially approved yet, but is a meteorite nonetheless). The first verified fall of 2012 was a few days before Valentine's Day on February 11, 2012. This was the so-called XINING-Huangzhong, which has not been officially approved yet, but was analyzed and is likely an L6-chondrite. About three weeks later, on March 01, 2012, the OSLO meteorite struck a roof in Norway. But, it was the April 22, 2012 spectacular SUTTER'S MILL meteorite fall that took the meteorite world by storm. A rare sub-type of CM carbonaceous chondrite, this celestial black gold showered over a strewnfield that happened to be the birthing ground of the legendary California Gold Rush. This one is arguably one of the most scientifically-iimportant meteorites to fall since Tagish Lake. Just a couple weeks later, an ordinary chondrite fell over the DIPLO area of Pakistan. This event was overshadowed by the ongoing media circus surrounding the recent Sutter's Mill fall. People did pay attention on May 22nd, when a strange green achondrite showered the KATOL area of India with fresh stones - at least of which were reported to strike roofs and farmhouses. This weird meteorite is unlike any seen before and preliminary testing points to an igneous ungrouped achondrite. Again, roughly two weeks after the Katol fall, another meteorite fell near COMAYAGUA Honduras on June 3, 2012. News of this fall was pushed aside by the recent excitement and focus on the more scientifically-significant Sutter's Mill and Katol falls. Just five days later on June 8 2012, yet another meteorite fell over JALANGI India. Like Comayagua, Jalangi is an ordinary chondrite. On August 22, 2012, American meteorites got excited when a fireball showered meteorites over the remote area of BATTLE MOUNTAIN Nevada. Strangely, Battle Mountain is one of only two meteorites from 2012 to be officially approved by the Meteoritical Society (the other was Sutter's Mill). Battle Mountain is an L6 chondrite. The month of October was a very busy

This new class of meteorite was found in 2011 in the Sahara Desert. Designated Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034, and nicknamed Black Beauty, it weighs approximately 11 ounces (320 grams). After more than a year of intensive study, a team of U.S. scientists determined the meteorite formed 2.1 billion years ago during the beginning of the most recent geologic period on Mars, known as the Amazonian. The age of NWA 7034 is important because it is significantly older than most other Martian meteorites, said Mitch Schulte, program scientist for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. We now have insight into a piece of Mars' history at a critical time in its evolution. The meteorite is an excellent match for surface rocks and outcrops NASA has studied remotely via Mars rovers and Mars-orbiting satellites. NWA 7034's composition is different from any previously studied Martian meteorite. The research is published in Thursday's edition of Science Express. The contents of this meteorite may challenge many long held notions about Martian geology, said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. These findings also present an important reference frame for the Curiosity rover as it searches for reduced organics in the minerals exposed in the bedrock of Gale Crater. NWA 7034 is made of cemented fragments of basalt, rock that forms from rapidly cooled lava. The fragments are primarily feldspar and pyroxene, most likely from volcanic activity. This unusual meteorite's chemistry matches that of the Martian crust as measured by NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers and Mars Odyssey Orbiter. This Martian meteorite has everything in its composition that you'd want in order to further our understanding of the Red Planet, said Carl Agee, leader of the analysis team and director and curator at the University of New Mexico's Institute of Meteoritics in Albuquerque. This unique meteorite tells us what volcanism was like on Mars 2 billion years ago. It also gives us a glimpse of ancient surface and environmental conditions on Mars that no other meteorite has ever offered. The research team included groups at the University of California at San Diego and the Carnegie Institution in Washington. Experiments were conducted to analyze mineral and chemical composition, age, and water content. Researchers theorize the large amount of water contained in NWA 7034 may have originated from interaction of the rocks with water present in Mars' crust. The meteorite also has a different mixture of oxygen isotopes than has been found in other Martian meteorites, which could have resulted from interaction with the Martian atmosphere. Most Martian meteorites are divided into three rock types, named after three meteorites; Shergotty, Nakhla, and Chassigny. These SNC meteorites currently number about 110. Their point of origin on Mars is not known and recent data from lander and orbiter missions suggest they are a mismatch for the Martian crust. Although NWA 7034 has similarities to the SNC meteorites, including the presence of macromolecular organic carbon, this new meteorite has many unique characteristics. The texture of the NWA meteorite is not like any of the SNC meteorites, said co-author Andrew Steele, who led the carbon analysis at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory. This is an exciting measurement in Mars and planetary science. We now have more context than ever before to understanding where they may come from. The research was funded by NASA's Cosmochemistry Program and Astrobiology Institute, part of the Planetary Science Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters. The research also was supported by the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium in Las Cruces, and the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va.

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: all-sky camera
There are a number of off-the-shelf allsky cameras suitable for your other sky phenomena requirement. But if meteor observing is high on your list, there are not. For meteors, you want a normal video frame rate (typically 30 fps), BW, no integration features, no long exposure features. You also need an enclosure that will resist dewing and frosting. I haven't seen anything commercial that meets these requirements. If you're willing to put your own system together (not very hard), we've been using this one: http://www.cloudbait.com/projects/allskycamera.html very successfully for a dozen years now. There is no more sensitive meteor imager without using image intensifiers. The plans aren't very detailed, but if you decide to build one I can provide more information. If you want to record both meteors as well as dim sky phenomena and nighttime weather, I'd recommend two allsky cameras, as the technical requirements for the two tasks are very different.

People who stood outside their houses noticed a black cloud towards the direction where the noise came from: the black cloud was like an explosion smoke, very different from the ordinary clouds covering (that day) the whole skies. 2 farmers (Perrotin father son) noticed an ignited object falling in the South-East direction, so close from where they stood so that they could notice the exact place where the object hit the ground. Nobody considered seeking the aerolite the same day. But the next day, a Mr. Elliot, having consulted the witnesses, found at that exact place a dense stone weighing 282.5 grams, burried 0.1 meter deep, the hole dimensions on the surface being 0.06 x 0.04 m.

[meteorite-list] AD: FCM: Come, Play with Us! Wonderful Meteorite Jigsaws Top Trumps !!
Dear Friends, the FC Meteorite House had had such a really sweet idea, which will mellow even the grumpiest cosmic codger and presents to you today for the first time his: Meteorite-Jigsaws! A fun for the young, the young at heart and the old; a fine gift, to transport your passion; also to lead the kids to meteorites; certainly a collectible by its own; a guarantor and a new playful way, to delve for many hours into the details of a meteorite; or to make it shorter: Simply: amorevolous and wonderful! The first jigsaw is Muonionalusta http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Puzzle001.jpg Available either with 200 pieces or - with that motif especially dodgy, promised!, - with 500 pieces! The second jigsaw isn't only artistic, but even philosophical, as it shows the ur-germ, the ultimate ground of all being, therefore especially suitable for the meteorite faddists - a prodigious chondrule from a thin section in cross-polarized light: Chondrule http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Puzzle002.jpg Again we made two degrees of difficulty: 200 and 500 pieces. Topped off the affair gets by the Gardnos-Impactite-Jigsaw, an excellent method, to point to oneself up the nature of brecciation, which isn't however only valid down here on Earth, but on the minor planets, the terrestrial planets and the asteroids - and therefore with the meteorites - too. Gardnos Impactite http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Puzzle003.jpg Of course available with 200 pieces and with 500 pieces too. The prices for these wonderfine jigsaws are: 29.50$ for the 200-pieces-jigsaws 38.50$ for the 500-pieces-jigsaws. postage for 1 jigsaw is ca. 4.50$ and for up to three 9$ (btw. a good opportunity to order with them the meteoritic ballpoint pen set at $16.50 to save shipping costs). Perhaps a remark, Especially if the jigsaws are meant as gifts for kids - 200 pieces sounds in the first instance not so much, but is with these motifs already quite tricky; 500 pieces are rather something for the Jigsaw-Masters (especially in the most prestigious challenge - solving it without using the image on the box - you'll need days!). The second part of our pleasurable advertisement regards the meanwhile famous top trumps: Meteorite Super Trump Long ago already they became true classics in the European meteorite scene. Whoever takes pride in himself as meteorite collector, had grasped one or several of these decks of cards at the Munich or the Ensisheim fair. (remember the photos of those always reporting from these events, where you can find known and unknown faces avidly playing these cards). http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Quartett_3.jpg http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Quartett_4.jpg http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Quartett_5.jpg http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/Quartett_7.jpg Unfortunately the Meteorite Super Trump was edited in a very limited number and rapidly sold out. Fortunately the FCM owns still a few remainders, therefore: Who missed out then, is lucky and can still jump on his copy rright now at - a matter of course - the same price like the had cost at that time. The Meteorite Super Trump Was issued in two qualities. - the Player's Edition Printed on professional Las Vegas deck cardboard (the one with opaque barrier sheet, to avoid any kibitzing). Hence so to say, that's the everyday version, which you use, when the crotchety hunters on the backseats start to grouch, when finally will we have arrived in the strewnfield?? That edition is prized at 17$ (currently only 2 left). And the more luxurious - Dealer's Premium edition Printed on a little thicker cardboard with a minimally larger font, it is even more sturdy and therefore used in the dimly lit back rooms of the Kasbahs, where the sinister obscurantists of the World Meteorite Collectors Black Market gamble for real lunars and Martians until the white thread becomes distinct from the black thread, drinking themselves with mint tea into diabetes (says the NYT). .. ... which is also perfect for display, picture framed or as placeholders in the meteorite cabinet, until the FCM will have organized the respective meteorite for you. That nobler edition costs 25$ (19 left in stock). And finally a combo, the Player's edition for the daily use, the Dealer's Premium as an exhibit for the showcase, Is together: 40$ Hence, for these wonderful ideas we ask firstly for your applause and a Mexican wave the whole stadium through, before you secondly bring these lovely games into your homes, where to is now sending cordial greetings The FC Meteorite House Hamburg - Munich A.Gren, M.Altmann, M.Kurschat, E.
