Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Goes Ivy League - NEW Display at Yale!

2016-06-08 Thread Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list

Thank you everyone for a lively 'debate'. I would like to apologize for 
letting my emotions get the best of me during part of this 'discussion'. I 
am SO personally involved and connected to NWA 5000 that I sometimes become 
too 'human' and show it. For this, I apologize if I have offended anyone.


Considering the 'Mysterious Kalahari' stones, I think Michael Gilmer said it 
best, "Show us the rock!". Without proof, they are only a rumor...


Best Regards,
Greg

Subject: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Goes Ivy League - NEW Display at Yale!

Dear Meteorite Friends,

I am proud to announce the Grand Opening of a very special display in the
Peabody Museum at Yale University! My loan of the main mass of lunar
meteorite Northwest Africa 5000 (NWA 5000), combined with an ancient clay
tablet from the Yale Babylonian Collection (MLC 1880 - 'Velocity of the
Moon'), is sure to amaze and thrill the public throughout the year. In
addition to these authentic specimens, there is a full size painted replica
of NWA 5000 to compliment the display and offer a glimpse of what the uncut
mass looked like before sharing samples with the world.

I would like to thank everyone involved who helped make this special
occasion possible. Without the dedication and enthusiasm from these
professionals I would not have been able to share such a marvel of nature!

The display is scheduled to run through November 30, 2016. Please share in
my excitement by viewing a few images I present here:

NWA 5000 display with Babylonian clay table 'Velocity of the Moon':

It's always amazing how these people can run all sorts of tests on
their rocks, use lots of scientific jargon, make big claims, but their
websites look like a stoned 5-year-old built them. None of these
nutjobs have any idea how to build a decent-looking website.  LOL.

If you are going to push a load of bullshit on to the world, at least
make a professional-looking website to do it.

Hi List,

I think the mystery surrounding the Kalahari lunars is what makes them
interesting. I have asked about them in the past and nobody seems to
know much about them. From what I have read, they have been
classified, but have never been made available to collectors. I do not
know of a single private collector who has a specimen of these
meteorites. I also cannot find any academic papers or articles about
these meteorites. Their only documentation appears to be the brief
entries in the Meteoritical Bulletin.

Are there any photos of these meteorites available? Does anyone own a
specimen of these meteorites? Where are they now? Have any scientists
in the western world examined or worked with any specimens?

NWA 5000 is, without a doubt, the most aesthetically appealing lunar
meteorite in the world. I do not think there is any debate over that
fact. Other lunars are attractive, but NWA 5000 is in a class of it's
own. NWA 5000 is also one of the most well-known lunars. It has been
photographed, exhibited, studied, and published countless times. But,
it's claim to be the "world's largest lunar" will always have
questions surrounding it because of Kalahari 009.  I think it is safe
to say, for now, that NWA 5000 is the most documented large lunar, but
some curious parties would like to see the Kalahari 009 mass.

Who is sitting on the Kalahari 009 mass, and why don't they make
photos or specimens available? Is it just sitting in a museum
somewhere in Botswana?  And if so, why doesn't somebody visit that
museum and snap a photo of it?

I'm not trying to throw shade at NWA 5000 - I am just curious about
the about large lunars, and would love to see what the Kalahari 009
mass looks like.

Best regards,

MikeG

Hi,

While this is great — many congratulations! — the exhibit headline incorrectly 
states that NWA 5000 is "The World's Largest Lunar Meteorite." In the exhibit 
description it states that NWA 5000 is the largest lunar meteorite ever 
discovered.  Despite being uber-cool, NWA 5000 never held this distinction.  
Discovered nearly a decade earlier, the Kalahari 009 mass is significantly 
larger.  In addition, there is a recent lunar which fits together as a jigsaw 
which is more than twice as massive (which Tony analyzed many months ago).  
Still...very nice.   All the best / Darryl

Without the vision, support and encouragement from two very key participants 
this public display would never have been realized. I would like to draw 
attention to Dr. Tony Irving for the 'Vision, Encouragement and Friendship', 
who made this all happen. His unwavering friendship, devotion to meteoritics 
and continued help will always be cherished by me. He introduced me to Dr. 
Stefan Nicolescu of Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History who has fast become 
a dear friend as well. Stefan's open-minded and artistic demeanor combined the 
Babylonian clay tablet, 'Velocity of the Moon', and lunar meteorite NWA 5000 
into a single display after a couple of our visits throughout the Yale campus. 
This enabled the display to combine the 'Human Element' with a material object

The collaboration between Tony and Stefan was crucial in ensuring that 'The

Once again, I would like to 'Thank' both Tony and Stefan!!

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Goes Ivy League - NEW Display at Yale!

2016-06-06 Thread Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list


Dear Meteorite Community,

I would like to personally "Thank" everyone for the wonderful public and 
private compliments and congratulations for the successful launch of the NWA 
5000 display in the Peabody Museum at Yale University.


Without the vision, support and encouragement from two very key participants 
this public display would never have been realized. I would like to draw 
attention to Dr. Tony Irving for the 'Vision, Encouragement and Friendship', 
who made this all happen. His unwavering friendship, devotion to meteoritics 
and continued help will always be cherished by me. He introduced me to Dr. 
Stefan Nicolescu of Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History who has fast 
become a dear friend as well. Stefan's open-minded and artistic demeanor 
combined the Babylonian clay tablet, 'Velocity of the Moon', and lunar 
meteorite NWA 5000 into a single display after a couple of our visits 
throughout the Yale campus. This enabled the display to combine the 'Human 
Element' with a material object from our Earth's Moon!


The collaboration between Tony and Stefan was crucial in ensuring that 'The 
Display' has become a reality for all the world to share!


Once again, I would like to 'Thank' both Tony and Stefan!!

Best Regards,
Greg

Dear Meteorite Friends,

I am proud to announce the Grand Opening of a very special display in the
Peabody Museum at Yale University! My loan of the main mass of lunar
meteorite Northwest Africa 5000 (NWA 5000), combined with an ancient clay
tablet from the Yale Babylonian Collection (MLC 1880 - 'Velocity of the
Moon'), is sure to amaze and thrill the public throughout the year. In
addition to these authentic specimens, there is a full size painted replica
of NWA 5000 to compliment the display and offer a glimpse of what the uncut
mass looked like before sharing samples with the world.

I would like to thank everyone involved who helped make this special
occasion possible. Without the dedication and enthusiasm from these
professionals I would not have been able to share such a marvel of nature!

The display is scheduled to run through November 30, 2016. Please share in
my excitement by viewing a few images I present here:

of the exhibit and happy I have a small representative piece of 5000 in my

Congratulations on a beautiful display!  

It is a great presentation and in a location ripe with young minds that could 
contribute alot to meteoritics if properly stimulated.

The addition of the cuneiform tablet, and its description is particularly nice. 
 It puts the meteorite into an historic context that would otherwise be 
overlooked.

Cheers!
