[meteorite-list] TUCSON Auctions ad
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS! Greetings fellow collectors, At the Tucson Show, I will be holding two auctions: One for meteorites on Friday, Feb. 8th and one for fossils on Sunday, Feb. 10th. If you would like to enter (an) item(s) in the auction, please send JPG(s) to me for immediate posting on the internet so I can promote your items. If you have a minimum, please let me know when sending the JPGs. Of course, items will be accepted up through the day of the auction, but free promotion is a good thing for all. The meteorite auction has been GREAT fun since its inaugural in 2000. The first year it was about 1/2 full. Last year it was standing room only and this year we will have more chairs set up. At the meteorite auction, you can expect to see thin sections, whole stones & irons, slices, partslices, impactites & shattercones. Each year we sell lots of items from low 2 digits (even some at single digits) up to several thousands of dollars each & everything in between. I expect the fossil auction to get off to a simmilar start - don't miss THE first anual fossil auction! Here are the details: - Meteorite Auction, Fri, Feb 8th at 7PM - Fossil Auction Sun, Feb. 10th at 7PM. Sellers should submit items no later than between 5 PM and 6:30 PM and bidders should arrive for preview and registration (and socializing) between 6 PM and 7 PM. The bidding will start at 7PM sharp, so, please arrive before that time. For the meteorite auction, there is a 10% commission across the board for anyone bringing their material to the auction. (If you want ME to take it for you, the commission is 15%). There will be a 1% commission for items with a minimum bid which do not sell. Fossils commission is 15%, but only 10% for private collectors who are members of the meteorite list or Geoffs Paleo newsletter and any item selling for $1,000 or more. There is a 1% commission on minimum bid items which receive no bid. NO BUYERS' PREMIUM at either auction. Cash or checks accepted at the meteorite auction. For the fossil auction, cash required, though checks will be accepted from established customers of Dean Bessey or Michael Blood. CREDIT CARDS: for credit card buyers only, there will be a 5% buyers premium. I will accept credit cards only from customers of mine who are established credit card buyers. I do not like using a buyers premium but I am keeping my commission so low, one is necessary to cover my costs of processing credit card charges. DIRECTIONS TO THE AUCTIONS: LOCATION: Tucson Jr. Chamber of Commerce Hall 1115 E. Ft. Lowell -DIRECTIONS- FROM THE FWY: 1) Take the FWY to Miracle Mile - exit East 2) Take Miracle Mile East about 1.5 miles to Oracle 3) Turn Left onto Oracle (North) & go about 1/8th mi. to W. Ft. Lowell - turn Right (East) on W. Ft. Lowell. It will become E. Ft. Lowell - about 1.5 mi to Hall. FROM INN SUITES: (Where most of the meteorite dealer rooms are) - Turn L. leaving Inn Suites parking lot onto Granada (North - away from Downtown.) It will change into Main about the time you cross Speedway and again, into Oracle after you negotiate the traffic circle. Go about .5 mi. 4) Turn right onto W. Ft. Lowell (it has a traffic light) - it becomes E. Ft. Lowell after about .5mi. & about 1 mi. further you will come to 1115 E. Ft. Lowell (next to the Greek Church). There is plenty of parking next to the hall. This is a LARGE room with a 275 person capacity. So, be prepared to see a LOT of specimens & meet lots of people. There is a no host bar and a popular bar tender. Please drink safely. (Steve "I BID A DOLLAR!" Arnold should definately have a designated driver) Hope to see you there!

[meteorite-list] Somewhat off-topic: close asteroid flyby coming up
Hi Ron & List, In case anyone with a good-sized telescope wants to try to see it, a very newly discovered asteroid, 2001 YB5, will pass within only 2 lunar distances of earth on January 7th. Unfortunately for us in the northern hemisphere, closest approach can only be seen from "down under". However, it can still be observed from northern hemisphere locations on the night of the 5th/6th. At 22:15 PST January 5th (23:15 MST), the asteroid will be 3 degrees due south of eta-Hydrae at R.A. 8h 44m, Dec 0.0 deg, magnitude +13. At 4:00am PST the next morning (Jan. 6th) it has brightened a half magnitude to 12.5, and has moved to R.A. 8h 55.5m, Dec -4.9 deg. A question for Ron: can you tell me what the deal is with asteroid 2001 SJ207? This thing is listed as having an absolute (H) magnitude of 1.43! This has got to be a typo, but that's how it's listed in the minor planet catalog database. For those with more modest instruments (like myself), 4 Vesta is still an easy binocular object in Taurus, 11 degrees from Saturn at magnitude +7.2. Nearest bright star is lambda-Tauri (mag 3.41), about 3 degrees to the southeast of Vesta. A bit tougher is 9 Metis, but on January 9th it passes extremely close to the bright star Pollux (within 0.25 degrees), which should make locating the +8.6 mag asteroid much easier.

[meteorite-list] National Space Science Centre to be the UK Information Centre for Near Earth Objects
DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY P/2001/739 December 2001 EMBARGOED UNTIL 00:01HRS TUESDAY 1 JANUARY 2002 SHOOTING STARS ACROSS THE GALAXY National Space Science Centre to be the UK Information Centre for Near Earth Objects The UK's first government backed Information Centre on Near Earth Objects is to be sited at the National Space Science Centre in Leicester, Science Minister Lord Sainsbury announced today. The facility will also analyse the potential threat from NEO's hitting the earth and provide an extensive range of information about asteroids and comets. The new centre will be operational by Easter 2002 and supported by the Natural History Museum in London. It will also involve a consortium which includes University of Leicester, Queens University Belfast, W5 in Belfast, Queen Mary University London and the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. Lord Sainsbury said: "The potential threat from NEO's to our planet has been an issue of increased international interest and concern over recent years. "By setting up an information centre we are helping the UK play a full and prominent role in an area that requires international action." The centre will include a website, exhibition and interactive facilities displaying what asteroids and comets are and where they can be found. The centre will: - provide information on the nature, number and location of NEOs; - explain how these objects can impact the Earth and its atmosphere; - provide information on the effects of planetary collision with comets and asteroids; - explore the history of impacts within our solar system; - explain the risks posed by NEO impact and the likelihood of occurrence, comparing them with more frequently encountered and widely understood hazards; - highlight the importance of missions to encounter and rendezvous with NEOs to increase understanding of their characteristics. The centre will be a focus for sharing information with other sites including the Spaceguard Centre in Wales. Subsequently other sites will be able to update their information on NEO's. Lord Sainsbury also published today an update report on the "Implementation of the Recommendations of the NEO Task Force". Part of the work has been to identify suitable telescopes, which can be used to track NEO's. So far two telescopes on La Palma in the Canary Islands have been identified as possible sites. The first of these - the Isaac Newton - will be used as a pilot study after February 2002. Notes to Editors: 1. NEO'S are asteroid or comets whose orbit brings them close to the Earth. They are both believed to be the remnants from the formation of planets. Most asteroids are composed of rock while comets can be a mixture of rock organic molecules and frozen gasses. 2. The risk of being hit is remote, and there are currently no known large asteroids or comets whose orbit puts them on collision course with Earth. However, the potential for significant damage to the Earth and its environment does exist. 3. The Earth's atmosphere protects against objects smaller than about 50m in diameter. Objects above 50m in diameter may survive passage through the atmosphere but will impact the Earth less than once every hundred years on average. 4. In January 2000 the Government set up a Task Force to look into the potential hazards. In February 2001, and in response to the Task Force's recommendations, Lord Sainsbury announced a 4-point package to tackle the potential threat. 5. The Government's response to all the Task Force recommendations is available on the Near Earth Object website at www.nearearthobjects.co.uk together with the NEO Task Force Report. Details of the call for proposals for the NEO Information Centre can be found online at http://www.bnsc.gov.uk. The Task Force consisted of Dr Harry Atkinson (Chairman), Sir Crispin Tickell and Professor David Williams. 6. The update to the Government response to the recommendations of the NEO Task Force Report can be found at www.nearearthobjects.co.uk. Other findings from the update report have emphasised that international collaboration is vital amongst worldwide observation and orbit calculation groups. There have been successful missions such as NEAR and Deep Space 1. In 2002, the OECD Global Science Forum will consider a co-ordinated proposal for an NEO activity.

Hello Anne, Jim, and List, My databases also yielded only negative results. > It is 7 miles north of Auburn, California, Placer County. The approximate coordinates of Auburn, CA are: 38° 54' N / 121° 04' W The only meteorite that comes even close to these coordinates would be the anomalous ataxite "Shingle Springs". But this ataxite was f o u n d in 1869 - too far back in time. Imperial, an H4 chondrite would be another candidate - it was found in 1908, but its respective coordinates are: 32° 52'N / 115° 35'W and it was found in "Imperial County".

[meteorite-list] Fireworks from Pikes Peak - OT
Happy New Year, everyone! Every year they shoot fireworks off the top of Pikes Peak (alt. 14,110 ft) here in Colorado at midnight on New Years Eve. I took a few pics with my digital camera from my deck. I was about 15 miles (estimated) from the top of the Peak. Just got them in before clouds completely socked in the Peak for the night. Just practicing up for that big fireball some night... :-) Here are the links for anyone interested. Enjoy. http://home.earthlink.net/~chikadee/newyear20021.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~chikadee/newyear20022.jpg this one looks like a sunflower http://home.earthlink.net/~chikadee/newyear20023.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~chikadee/newyear20024.jpg Images taken with an Olympus C-2100 digital camera on a tripod at 10x zoom.

[meteorite-list] re a little help
Hi Rob, Try the word "Orrery"! Subject: [meteorite-list] A little help Hello all and Happy New Year- I'm trying to find one of those mechanical models like we had in gradeschool that shows planetary motion. Remember, little tabletop model withthe sun in the middle and a series of gears moving the planets around it, some even had the moon on a separate gear around earth. Do these things have a name? I swear I have tried everything I can think of on a web search and its coming up zilch. MODEL, KEPLER, PLANET(s)(ary), MECHANICAL, MOTION, SOLAR SYSTEM, ORBITall failed in various combinations. Any ideas? -- In gentle decay, dave http://www.meteorites.ic24.net/index.html http://www.thc.u-net.com/davethc1.htm "I have a proof that x^n+y^n=z^n never has integer solutions for n>2.
