I can give you one perfect example (with reasonable certainty) exactly

If specimens are part of an observed fall and are very fresh looking, one
supposes (without absolute certainty) that the different individuals are
paired. If stones are found lying on the ground in an area that has yielded
few other meteorites, then one can also assume that they are paired, but
Bob,
Sorry it took me so long to respond - the email got buried under a Russian
meteorite.
Your explanation is logical, but the classifiers did not mention these two
stones as being paired. Seeing as these were very likely found close to each
other (but perhaps subjected to different weathering con
Hi Mike,
I think of "hammer" as a term that collector's use to organize their
collections and dealer's use to market their meteorites. As such "hammer" is in
the eye of the beholder. I don't think there will ever be a universally
accepted definition. I admire you for trying to nail down

Hi Bjørn,
In the videos, the meteor is first seen above and to the left of the rising
sun, so that would mean that it was further north than the rising sun. If
you estimate the sun to be rising between 100-110 degrees azimuth, then the
meteor would be less than 100 degrees, so the 80 degree estim

The bottom image was posted to the list with two others showing closer
up projection on a map of The Chelyabinsk area. They all three show the
roughly 120 degree azimuth entry. They seems to be detailed and some
level of work behind.

The meteor came from the east (where the Sun was rising). Where did you get
the image at the bottom? Everything I have seen about this has said or
showed (in videos) that it came from near the Sun and was travelling to the
west.

There seem to be posted two quite different images to the list about

I had a chance to test Brix with the new meteorite recovery. I was

My guess that a lot of that material is a blend of various ionized air
molecules and dust particles from the asteroid itself.

The point that Bjorn is missing, or ignoring, is it doesn't matter if
there is a debris field around DA14 (or any other NEO). All the debris
in such a field has virtually the same orbital parameters as the parent
body. Given good information about the atmospheric path of a meteor, the

Hi Robin!
Based on that explosion and other known strewn fields, if anything is
found, it's going to be spread wide. I am guessing 4 to 6km.

Hi all,

discussions I think it deserves an answer to the whole list.
Piper asked if gravitational curvature under influence of the gravitational
