[meteorite-list] Circumstances of fireball associated with Salzwedel fall November 1985
Hi, Does anyone have any references, or recollection, of the circumstances of the fireball which proceeded the meteorite fall at Salzwedel on the 14th November, 1985. Direction of travel, magnitude, locations of observers - that sort of thing? Met. Bull. No. 64, Meteoritics_ 21*, 309-313 (1986) simply says, A single mass weighing 43g was found in a wood after a fireball had been seen, ref. of 1986. I'm curious to know if it could have been seen from south-east England - unlikely I know, but maybe possible?...

In message diie.00974...@paulinet.de, bernd.pa...@paulinet.de writes Hello David and List, I can come up with two important references: RENDTEL J. and KNÖFEL A. (1986) Meteroitenfall in Hohenlangenbeck (Sterne 62, 181-183). RENDTEL J., KNÖFEL A. and SCHARFF P. (1986) Meteoritenfall in der DDR (Astronomie und Raumfahrt 24, 98-99). As André is a member of both the German forum and the U.S. MetList, he will surely read your inquiry and be able and willing to provide useful information on the Salzwedel LL6 chondrite fall! Best wishes from scalding hot Germany, Bernd Bernd, Many thanks - I'll try and track those two references down. I see that the fireball associated with the Salzwedel fall also gets a brief mention in: The “European Fireball Network”: Current status and future prospects http://www.xs4all.nl/~dmsweb/articles/Meteoritics-European-Fireball-Netw ork-Oberst.pdf Best wishes, -- David Entwistle __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Apollo 13's Booster Impact

But of course I have questions. ;) http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/lroc-20100322-apollo13booster.html How fast was it going upon impact? Why is the crater only 30 meters in diameter, while the booster was almost that long? Was the booster not traveling fast enough to make a larger crater? What other factors were in play to create the crater, material the booster was made of, size, weight, speed, angle of descent, all of the above?
