[meteorite-list] meteorites hitting people

2002-04-11 Thread marco.langbroek


Hi,

For those who want a published source: the mentioned Mbale incident (the boy 
hit) with a picture is mentioned in the MAPS publication on Mbale (Jenniskens 
et al., Meteoritics vol. 29 (1994), no. 2, p. 246-254). It concerned a 3 grams 
piece. There has also been a news and views item in Nature with the picture of 
the boy that same month.

The 1648 incident which Mateo mentioned concerns the VOC (Dutch East Indian 
Company) vessel 'Malacca' on route from the Netherlands to the Dutch East 
Indies (now Indonesia) in 1648, and is described by the Swede Olof Eriksson 
Willman, who is considered a reliable historic source. Yet the truth remains 
uncertain. The vessel Malacca however indeed reached Batavia in 1648. For a 
discussion of this all with translation of the Swedish text of Willman, see the 
paper by Wickman, GFF 115 (1993), 297-298.

For those interested in meteorites hitting objects, the story and pictures of 
the Dutch Glanerbrug which crashed through a roof can be found on my website on 
Dutch Meteorites: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/dutchmet.html

[meteorite-list] happy day

2002-04-11 Thread colin wade

Hi folks

I've just got the classification results from my first find ( the first
recognised meteorite in Qatar?)
It is an H5 chondrite. The shock stage is S3 (undulatory extinction and
planar fractures in olivine).

got another very good prospect just poking its nose out of the ground ( only
found it parking the range rover on easy terrain so that its temporary
clutch hyd failure did'nt strand me !)  Xrf analysis shows a fair
differance to the classified one. ( wonder if i can sell it still in the
ground ? I know one Mohammed with the metal detector to die for desperate to
find a meteorite!)

all the best

 Hello all,

 It's confirmed. The Bavarian bolide IS a meteorite, fragmented in 3 larges
fragments. This information was confirmed by the Munich satellite survey
station .One video show the fall of this meteorite.

Its possible to get this video from any WWW Page ?? (like in Peekskill or

Maybe someone can decode this video to AVI or MPEG ?

As of my readings there hasn't been a recovery yet, correct? Fireballs in the 
sky doesn't mean meteorites on the ground. I archive fireball reports for the 
North American Meteor Network  and we record dozens of bright to very bright 
fireballs each month. Even the last July 23rd fireball over Pa., that was 
seen in 6 states and Canada did not yield any meteorites (that we know of).

Comet discoverer Hyakutake dies at 51
Kyodo News
April 11, 2002

KAGOSHIMA - Yuji Hyakutake, an amateur Japanese
astronomer who discovered Comet Hyakutake in
1996, died Wednesday evening in Kagoshima
Prefecture, due to internal bleeding caused by a
heart aneurysm, his family said Thursday. He was
51.

Hyakutake, a native of Nagasaki Prefecture, won
international acclaim after he found the new
comet, using a powerful pair of binoculars on Jan
30, 1996, in the town of Hayato in Kagoshima.

Hello All, 

This night, two extremely bright bolides were observed in France. The first, in South of France, and the second in North-East of France. Numerous people called police an fire service. 
Today the French police made research with metal detector in two probables fall areas. A regional french channel televison diffuseda report in the news (12:00), which will be probably repeated on France 2 this evening at 20 h:00. ( Im not see this repport on France 2 internet site, and I look for more informations.)
Bolides are the same trajectory (East-West), the same color and that first three bolides (German, Belgium and Scotland). It's probablynot satellite fall.
There is no significative peek of bright shooting star at this moment. These bolide would come from a very dense area of the Virginids (usually not active)or early veryhuge and bright Lyrids What's theradiant of these bolides??? http://comets.amsmeteors.org/meteors/april_radiants.html
Royal observatory of Belgium confirm the two last bolides over France and precise that the very bright Netherland/Belgian bolide (7 april 00:28 UTC) is completely disintegrated and not hit the ground.

[meteorite-list] Some Asteroids Have Astronomers Seeing Double

CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov

Contact: Martha J. Heil   (818) 354-0850  
   
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11, 2002

SOME ASTEROIDS HAVE ASTRONOMERS SEEING DOUBLE

 Binary asteroids -- two rocky objects orbiting about one 
another -- appear to be common in Earth-crossing orbits, 
astronomers report today in the journal Science. This makes 
them an important new asteroid class to study in case future 
generations find one coming near Earth.

 If you see two bodies orbiting each other, you can tell 
how far away from each other they are and how fast they go 
around each other, said Dr. Lance Benner, an asteroid 
researcher and an author of the paper from NASA's Jet 
Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. This helps us to 
determine the asteroids' mass, volume, internal structure and 
what they're made of. 

 Using the world's two most powerful astronomical radar 
telescopes, Benner and his colleagues, led by Jean-Luc Margot 
of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, estimate 
that about 16 percent of near-Earth asteroids larger than 200 
meters (219 yards) across are likely to be binary systems. 
These systems may have been formed by the pull of gravity 
during close encounters with our planet, Mercury, Venus or 
Mars.

 The first near-Earth binary asteroid ever detected, 2000 
DP107, was found by radar in September 2000 at NASA's 
Goldstone, Calif., tracking telescope facility. Subsequent 
observations were made at the National Science Foundation's 
Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, operated by Cornell 
University. Like Earth's Moon, the smaller (300-meter or 
1,000-foot diameter) body always presents the same face to the 
larger (800 meters, or about a half-mile diameter) asteroid 
body as it orbits. To date, five near-Earth binary systems 
have been identified by radar. But none of them, adds radar 
astronomer Jon Giorgini, have orbits that could threaten 
Earth, at least through this century.

 Near-Earth asteroids may become binaries when the 
planets' much larger gravities pull on their rubble-clustered 
bodies, distorting them and sometimes breaking off a 
satellite. Theoretical and modeling results show that binary 
asteroids most likely form when the asteroids closely 
encounter the inner planets Earth or Mars, sometimes just 
10,000 miles from a planet's surface. 

 Of course, the most important thing to know about any 
asteroid is whether it is two objects or one, and this is why 
we want to observe these binaries with radar whenever 
possible, said Dr. Steve Ostro, a senior research scientist 
at JPL. Radar is the best way to identify interesting and 
potentially hazardous asteroids. Radar observations provide 
information that can be later used by spacecraft to do more 
detailed studies efficiently and at lower cost.

 Previous evidence that near-Earth binary asteroids were 
common came from craters on the Earth and Moon that formed in 
pairs and were exactly the same age. Astronomers also have 
noted the changes in brightness of reflected sunlight for some 
near-Earth asteroids, suggesting that a double system was 
causing an eclipse or occultation of one by the other.

 Jean-Luc Margot, of the California Institute of 
Technology, led the research. The article is also co-authored 
by Michael Nolan, research associate at Arecibo; Raymond 
Jurgens, Jon Giorgini and Martin Slade at the Jet Propulsion 
Laboratory; and Donald Campbell, professor of astronomy at 
Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.   The observations were 
made at the 70-meter Goldstone NASA tracking telescope in 
California and at Arecibo Observatory, which is operated by 
the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center at Cornell under 
a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. 
JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, 
manages many missions for NASA's Office of Space Science, 
Washington, D.C. More information on asteroid radar research

CHANGING ANTARCTICA VIEWED BY NASA SATELLITE

 NASA instruments flying on the Terra satellite have 
observed the calving of an iceberg and the breakup of an ice 
shelf in Antarctica, roughly 2,100 kilometers (1,300 miles) 
from one another.  

 Last month, a large crack developed in the Thwaites 
Tongue, a large sheet of glacial ice that extends from the 
West Antarctica mainland into the southern Amundsen Sea.  A 
piece broke away, or calved, forming an iceberg designated B-
22 by the National Ice Center.  In February, a section of the 
Larsen B ice shelf, located on the familiar finger-like 
Antarctic Peninsula, collapsed and broke away from the 
peninsula.

 The progression of both breakups were initially observed 
by NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer.  
Images of the subsequent calving and ice shelf breakup were 
captured by NASA's Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer.  

 The B-22 iceberg images are available at: 

http://www-misr.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/galhistory/2002_mar_27a.html .

 The B-22 iceberg measures approximately 82 kilometers 
(about 32 miles) long by 62 kilometers (about 24 miles) wide.  
Comparison of the images shows the iceberg, located below and 
to the left of center, has drifted away from the ice shelf.  
The breakup of ice near the shelf edge, in the area 
surrounding B-22, is also visible in the later image.  

 These natural-color images were acquired on March 10 and 
24, 2002, respectively.  Antarctic researchers have reported 
an increase in the frequency of iceberg calving in recent 
years.  It has not yet been established if this is a result of 
regional climate variation or the global warming trend.

 The two views of the ice shelf breakup, acquired on March 
7, 2002, provide helpful chemical and topographical 
perspectives.  In the left-hand image, near-infrared, red and 
blue data from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer's 
nadir (vertical-viewing) camera causes water ice within the 
ice shelf to appear vibrant blue.  Water has an intrinsic blue 
color due to the selective absorption of longer wavelengths 
such as red and infrared, and the translucent properties of 
ice within the collapsing shelf enables this absorption to be 
observed.  

 The ice shelf images are available at:

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/PIAGenCatalogPage.pl?PIA03702

 Data from three different cameras on the instrument and 
one color channel were combined to create the multi-angle 
composite on the right.  Because vertical protrusions or 
depressions within textured surfaces appear brighter on their 
illuminated faces, the orange color in the multi-angle 
composite suggests a rough ice surface.  

 The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer, built and 
managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., 
is one of several Earth-observing experiments aboard Terra, 
launched in December 1999. The instrument acquires images of  
Earth at nine angles simultaneously, using nine separate 
cameras pointed forward, downward, and backward along its 
flight path.  The Terra mission supports NASA's Earth Science 
Enterprise, a long-term research effort designed to help 
better understand and protect our home planet.  More 
information about the radiometer is available at

The mistake made here is that there is *no connection*

a common error reported in the literature for at least
100 years.
In fact she was not even close to the actual

At 
http://www.BerlinOnline.de/aktuelles/berliner_zeitung/wissenschaft/.html/133814.html
(German again, sorry) you can find a quite detailled
story about the Munich geologist who at first
misidentified the Zolling meteor-wrong and how he
eventually found out what it really was (a piece of a
road).
