Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 2364 in Scientific American

2010-08-23 Thread Steve Dunklee
I agree that isotope data can give us an estimate to the age when the sun first ignited. But I have a problem with it being considered the age of our solar system. As the solar system condensed to form our sun the solar disc had to at some time reach densities almost as thick as our atmosphere.

great post and references! With the high heat and lack of water I have wondered if some melt glass may actually be the case for material from Mercury. And did Mercury form on its own or was it knocked off earth at the same time the moon was? If Mercury was once part of earth its isotopes from

I have noticed the smaller tektite from the ivory coast tend to have more scoriation and deeper more abundant pits and flow lines. While the larger ones over 70 grams tend to be smoother. With smaller pits. As far as tektite sizes what would be considered a large one? I have some small almost

I Just read Rocks from space and in the end of the book they mention Nemisis in the ort cloud as being an red dwarf with a cycle of 26 to 30 million years. The idea of a multiple system for us is very intriguing. But a spheer of comets above a disc does not make much sence for a binary system.

Re: [meteorite-list] Witnessed fall lunars?

2010-09-07 Thread Steve Dunklee
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. Mars is farther away and not protected by a companion and its closer to

Most of the shielding is done by earths gravity well not its area. If mars had no atmosphere it would look battered like the moon. And most of the material knocked off the moon is either returns to the moon or sucked in by earths gravity in a relatively short time. Some day there may be a

Hi everyone. You did a good job of thrashing my response without giving an answere to the original question. Why are there no lunar witnessed falls? DR kortev did say there are twice as many Martian impacts,which to me is a lot or many more. Another person questioned if they would have enough
