Hi Richard,
so you'll get a positive input from me: World will keep spinning around.
Say I, from a country with a duestax yoke more than twice as heavy as in
USA
and with a Kafkaesque bureaucracy, the country with - lonely world record -
with more than 70,000 single and different tax
i believe the 1099 rule included in the new health care bill is already in
the process of being revised.

Not really. Little islands of dinosaur survival are known to have existed
for short geological times after the K/T impact. The impact winter that
followed was not an instantaneous killer.

Hi,
Is there a website to help understand how to interpret radar data for tracking
meteorites? I've been reading the tutorials on the NOAA/NCDC toolkit site but
it's geared more toward using the program and not actual interpretation of the

It's more of an academic exercise at this point
I have found a few radar signatures that could possibly be from the

Most researchers I know consider the body to be a meteoroid while it is in
its meteor phase. The term meteoroid is used to specifically identify the
body, and distinguish it from the meteor effect.
It is also common, and IMO correct, to talk of a meteorite before it hits
the ground. Once the

Hello Ron,
Yes, that's it. A distinction between the light and the object itself.
So, back to my original question. The object itself is still referred to as
a meteoroid while it is traveling in the Earth's atmosphere.
Your anecdote regarding Dr. Leonard reminded me of the Dorothy Norton
No. In fact, there is good evidence to suggest that the great majority of
meteorites are produced by rather small meteors, which not only don't
fragment, but aren't even fireballs. The sense that meteorites are the
product of big, spectacular, fragmenting fireballs is produced because those
The definitive source WIKIPEDIA!! Says;

Astronomical Union is a solid object moving in interplanetary space, of a size
considerably smaller than an asteroid and considerably larger than an

The Lerner-Trigg Encyclopedia of Physics, pg.1137 doesn't help much. The ONLY
thing they have to say is;
Meteorites, which occasionally fall to earth, are thought to be mostly
fragments of asteroids scattered into earth-orbit crossing trajectories by
gravitational resonance interactions, and
Interesting...I did not know that.
So why is it then that folks on the met list only care about the boomers that
happen 3-5 times a year and write off the minor events that seem to happen
daily.
There seems to be a belief on the list that no boom = no meteorite. No bolide
= no meteorite.
Most meteorites are single entities. They probably result from
non-fragmenting events- just a piece of rock that enters slow and shallow,
stops burning, and the core hits the ground. Meteorites that are grouped and
found in strewn fields come from larger, fragmenting events.

The term was first used, in the French language, in 1834.

Note, however, that the IAU defines fireball but is silent about bolide.
So if the context demands some precision, bolide is best avoided.

no real minimum asteroid size or maximum meteoroid size. When it comes up
