Re: [meteorite-list] Stable Nantan Huh???
Hello Jeff, It sounds like the plastic bag is made from PVC plastic which over time will exude that color of residue. I am also a coin collector and have found that this type of plastic will ruin coins and any other item placed into it. PVC is found in the softer plastics. The harder the plastic the less PVC or none at all. I would remove any item you wish to maintain over a long period of time from it. If I can be of any assistance please let me know. I also have some ideas on preservation that I have been trying you might be interested in.

[meteorite-list] Insurers Are Now Looking At Some Far-Out Risk Possibilities
http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/business/stories.nsf/Business/34294740D43F660A86256BA6000AB26E?OpenDocumentHeadline=Insurers%20are%20now%20looking%20at%20some%20far-out%20risk%20possibilities%20 Insurers are now looking at some far-out risk possibilities BY PHILIPP GOELLNER Bloomberg News April 24, 2002 ZURICH - What could be worse than the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11? A meteor falling on a world capital or a tidal wave flooding the U.S. East Coast, scientists working for reinsurance companies say. Swiss Reinsurance Co. and Munich Re are looking for future calamities that could cost their companies billions of dollars in claims, or bankrupt them. Their risk experts monitor science journals and news reports and draw up mathematical models to put a price tag on potential tragedies. A meteorite crashing into Earth could cause many times the estimated $58 billion in damage from the attacks of Sept. 11, leveling an area the size of three cities and sending up a huge dust cloud capable of chilling the global climate for decades, according to Munich Re. In another scenario, parts from old satellites and rocket stages slam into Los Angeles or London. Before September 11, the public would have considered these threats too remote to be taken seriously, said Ernst Rauch, a geophysicist who heads a team of 20 scientists, meteorologists and hydrologists in the global risk research unit at Munich Re, the world's biggest reinsurer, We would have been laughed at. The purpose of the research is not just to identify once-outlandish risks. Insurers and reinsurers - which assume the risk of disaster for insurers - say they need to review the wording of policies to exclude or limit coverage for losses from meteors or other previously unimagined disasters. We're now taking a different view on risk, said Marcel Burge, head of risk engineering services at Zurich-based Swiss Re, the world's second-biggest reinsurer. We have to protect the bottom line. Traditional worst-case loss scenarios didn't contemplate teams of terrorists commandeering commercial jets and crashing them into buildings. The attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon killed more than 3,000 people. The attacks caused the insurance industry's largest-ever loss. Because insurers didn't exclude terrorism-related costs as they do damage caused by war, the Sept. 11 attacks led to claims against almost all lines of insurance, including property, life, worker's compensation, business interruption, accident and health and aviation and space. Swiss Re posted a loss of about $120 million (200 million Swiss francs) last year after $1.79 billion in claims from the attacks of Sept. 11. Munich Re's 2001 profit fell 86 percent partly because of $1.9 billion in attack losses. Lloyd's of London had a loss of $4.51 billion (3.1 billion pounds) last year after the terrorist attacks left the three-centuries old insurance market with its biggest-ever bill from a disaster. Reinsurers say they can't afford another terrorist attack. Many have excluded terrorism-related losses while raising rates on other lines. Swiss Re, Allianz AG, Zurich Financial Services AG, XL Capital Ltd. and Hannover Re said this month they are forming a joint venture to offer property coverage against terrorist attacks on buildings. Actuaries rely on historical data to assess the chances of disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and wind storms. As a result, reinsurers are able to make a profit by charging more in premiums than they would be required to pay out under normal risk conditions. The hard part is defining normal. Like airborne terrorist attacks on Manhattan, meteorites that strike the earth are rare. Around 100 tons of dust and small stones reach the earth's atmosphere every day, according to a study by Munich Re, and most burn up in the atmosphere where they can be seen as shooting stars. Only larger objects with a diameter of several meters reach the ground intact. About 100 such strikes were documented in the last century. A 98-foot meteorite that exploded over the Tunguska region of Siberia on June 30, 1908, created a shock wave that felled all trees in an area the size of Berlin, Moscow and London put together. No deaths were reported. Ivo Menzinger, one of 17 specialists studying natural catastrophe risks at Swiss Re, said the company has been looking at the possibility of a huge tidal wave spawned by underwater volcanoes or earthquakes. One scenario contemplates a large chunk of the Canary Islands breaking off and triggering a megatsunami that reaches Manhattan, Menzinger said. Not all reinsurers are devising meteor and tidal wave scenarios. Lloyd's of London regularly draws up what it calls realistic disaster scenarios, such as two large planes crashing into a big city or a tall building collapsing, said spokeswoman Sara Chorley. At Converium Holding AG, the Zurich-based reinsurer spun off from Zurich Financial in December, actuaries said the
[meteorite-list] UFOs Sighted In Beijing Sky
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/star/2002/0425/cn9-2.html UFOs sighted in Beijing sky Shanghai Star April 25, 2002 MONDAY between 7:00pm and 9:00pm, many Beijing residents were startled to spot four spiraling and sparkling unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the evening sky near Asian Games Village, Wa Li and Qing He. Over 10 readers called local media about the strange appearance, Beijing Times reported. At about 8:00pm, four sparkling UFOs appeared in the southwest sky, but no strange noises accompanied them, according to observations of one reporter. These unknown UFOs moved across a wide range and were surrounded with a kind of light yellow brightness. According to a reporter's estimates, they were flying at about 10 kilometres high. For most of the time the objects were visible, they moved in two groups of two. At about 9:00pm, the UFOs disappeared under gradual cloud cover. The UFOs attracted many people, with most saying they had never seen such strange things. Though there are piles of reports about unknown flying objects from home and abroad, nothing has yet been proven, according to the deputy director of Beijing Planetarium surnamed Zhang. There has never been an official conclusion providing a scientific explanation for UFOs, according to Zhang. Over the last hundred years, there have been more than 10,000 records of UFO sightings, according to Lan Songzhu, engineer of Xinglong Observation Station of Beijing Astronomical Observatory. About 95 per cent of these sightings have been shown to be phenomena related to astronomy, atmospheric or the globe magnetic field. There is still no proof of the existence of extraterrestrial life, noted Lan. Lan said there UFOs come in four types. One is the appearance of satellites, dust storms, meteor rains or sparkling clouds. The second kind of UFO can be broken piece of a flying object. The third can be big throngs of locust or butterflies. The last can be planes. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Mystery Meteorite with a Molten Past (NWA 011)
http://skyandtelescope.com/news/current/article_585_1.asp Mystery Meteorite with a Molten Past Sky Telescope News Brief April 25, 2002 Planetary scientists suspect that many primordial asteroids must have grown large enough to melt completely, yielding iron-rich cores and silicate crusts before being shattered to pieces. After all, the iron meteorites reaching Earth comprise dozens of unique compositional types. Yet, among the thousands of known meteorites, only a relative handful consist of basalt, the igneous rock type that would be most common in those asteroidal crusts - and until recently all of them seemed to have come from a single source, 4 Vesta. In the April 12th issue of Science, Akira Yamaguchi (National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo) and nine colleagues argue that a 40-gram stone called Northwest Africa 011 is a basaltic meteorite entirely unlike those from Vesta. Its parent body is unknown; one candidate is 1459 Magnya, an outer-belt object that was found to have a basalt spectrum two years ago. Still, though lacking a pedigree, NWA 011 is a significant find. As asteroid expert Richard P. Binzel (MIT) explains, Yamaguchi's results (and those for 1459 Magnya) are the 'eureka' that complement what the iron meteorites have been telling us: there must have been other Vestas out there. Online access to Science is restricted, but Yamaguchi's abstract can be found at: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/296/5566/334. -- http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/296/5566/334 A New Source of Basaltic Meteorites Inferred from Northwest Africa 011 Akira Yamaguchi,[12*] Robert N. Clayton,[3] Toshiko K. Mayeda,[3] Mitsuru Ebihara,[4] Yasuji Oura,[4] Yayoi N. Miura,[5] Hiroshi Haramura,[1] Keiji Misawa,[12] Hideyasu Kojima,[12] Keisuke Nagao[6] Eucrites are a class of basaltic meteorites that share common mineralogical, isotopic, and chemical properties and are thought to have been derived from the same parent body, possibly asteroid 4 Vesta. The texture, mineralogy, and noble gas data of the recently recovered meteorite, Northwest Africa (NWA) 011, are similar to those of basaltic eucrites. However, the oxygen isotopic composition of NWA011 is different from that of other eucrites, indicating that NWA011 may be derived from a different parent body. The presence of basaltic meteorites with variable oxygen isotopic composition suggests the occurrence of multiple basaltic meteorite parent bodies, perhaps similar to 4 Vesta, in the early solar system. 1 Antarctic Meteorite Research Center, National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo 173-8515, Japan. 2 The Graduate University for Advanced Studies, Tokyo 173-8515, Japan. 3 Enrico Fermi Institute, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 4 Department of Chemistry, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Hachioji, Tokyo 192-0397, Japan. 5 Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113-0032, Japan. 6 Laboratory for Earthquake Chemistry, University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan. * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

[meteorite-list] Plotting Months and Days - Part 1
AL recently had a brilliant idea: I wonder if anyone has tried to plot months and days related to meteorite classes to see if any correlation of types on certain fall days exists? If streams could be predicted then we could have watchers for this material coming down, plotting the falls with various observers or camera networks. A tremendous amount of database work - and I have only been able to do the query for H chondrites so far - but the first results look very, very promising!!! In a first run, I've looked for multiple falls for all of the 12 months and the respective days of the months for all of the H3, H4, H5, H6 chondrite falls. I did not include the H3-4, H3-5, H3-6, H4-5, and the H5-6 types because, statistically, they are irrelevant. Here are my first results: a) Total H4 chondrites Oct 31: 02 b) Total H5 chondrites Feb 26: 02 c) Total H5 chondrites Apr 10: 02 d) Total H5 chondrites May 02: 02 e) Total H5 chondrites May 24: 02 f) Total H5 chondrites May 27: 02 [time interval between (e)/(f)] g) Total H5 chondrites Jun 16: 02 [only three days] h) Total H5 chondrites Jul 24: 02 i) Total H5 chondrites Aug 11: 02* j) Total H5 chondrites Aug 12: 02* k) Total H5 chondrites Sep 04: 02** l) Total H5 chondrites Sep 05: 03** m) Total H5 chondrites Oct 11: 02 n) Total H5 chondrites Nov 12: 02 o) Total H5 chondrites Nov 17: 02 p) Total H5 chondrites Nov 26: 02 q) Total H5 chondrites Dec 30: 02 r) Total H6 chondrites Jan 19: 03*** s) Total H6 chondrites Jun 12: 02 t) Total H6 chondrites Sep 23: 02 u) Total H6 chondrites Sep 29: 02 v) Total H6 chondrites Oct 20: 02 w) Total H6 chondrites Nov 05: 02 * There is a noticeable clustering around Aug 11, 12 with four H5 chondrites on two successive days ! ** An even denser clustering for Sep 04, 05 with a total of five H5 chondrites !! *** Three H6 chondrites on Jan 19! But, as AL already mentioned the next step would be that one has to find out whether there is a leap year not only for these three falls but for all of them! We should always keep in mind that this is a purely statistical survey and thus should not infer too quickly that these clusterings represent a true orbital distribution of meteorite groups - Corrections would have to be made for the Earth's diurnal and annual rotation, time zones, the meteoroids' orbital parameters and orbital dimensions, just to mention a few that come to mind! But still I think that we have just begun to scratch the tip of the iceberg ! More will follow soon - time permitting ... My next database query will more closely examine the H chondrites with subsequent fall days, i.e.: Apr 17 and Apr 18, etc. Best wishes, Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Starshine 2 Return
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/25apr_starshine2.htm Starshine 2 Return NASA Science News A glittering satellite named Starshine 2 will disintegrate in Earth's atmosphere on April 26th. April 25, 2002: For some months now sky watchers have occasionally looked up and seen a curious flashing light in the sky. Pulsing as brightly as a first magnitude star, it would appear, race across the heavens, and be gone in a matter of moments. A high-powered telescope -- if one could be made to track the fast-moving thing -- would reveal a half-meter wide sphere, spinning and studded with sunlight-reflecting mirrors. A disco ball in space. In fact, it's a satellite. Scientists and the students who helped them build it call the orb Starshine 2. It was carried to Earth-orbit by NASA's space shuttle Endeavour in Dec. 2001. But now, only five months later, Starshine 2 is falling back to Earth. Experts say it will disintegrate in the atmosphere like a vivid meteor on April 26th. I'm thrilled, says Gil Moore, the director of Project Starshine. This is exactly what Starshine 2 is supposed to do. Project Starshine is a consortium of volunteers supported by the US Naval Research Laboratory, the Space Grant Program, and NASA. Together, they work to involve school-age kids in cutting-edge research. Starshine 2 is one of their many successes. The satellite, which is dotted with mirrors ground by thousands of students, is on a mission to explore the outermost reaches of our planet -- a super-thin layer of the atmosphere called the thermosphere. The thermosphere is so thin (1012 times less dense than air at sea level) it seems more like a part of space than a part of Earth. Indeed, many Earth-orbiting satellites are inside it. There's a lot we don't about the thermosphere -- particularly how it responds to solar activity, says Moore. Starshine 2 is helping us understand that by falling back to Earth. He explains: As satellites skim through the upper atmosphere, sparse molecules of air nip away at their kinetic energy little by little. This aerodynamic friction causes all spacecraft in low-Earth orbit to fall. Even the International Space Station sinks, albeit slowly, and must occasionally be reboosted to counteract the drag. If the thermosphere were steady, figuring out the decay rates of Earth-orbiting spacecraft would be easy. But it's not. The thermosphere expands and contracts in response to solar activity. Last week, for example, explosions on the Sun hurled three coronal mass ejections (or CMEs) into space and toward Earth. When the electrified clouds swept past our planet they warmed the thermosphere and caused it to expand. (They also triggered beautiful Northern Lights.) The puffed-up atmosphere exerted more drag than usual on Earth-orbiting satellites. By monitoring the orbit of Starshine 2, we can see how the thermosphere responds to such events, says Moore. When Starshine 2 was launched, Moore and colleagues expected it to return to Earth in June. It's returning early because the Sun has been extra-active during the first months of 2002. The ongoing solar maximum is double-peaked, explains Moore. The first peak happened in 2000. The second peak, which no one expected, coincided more or less with the launch of Starshine 2 -- it was perfect timing! On April 26th Starshine 2 will sink below the stratosphere and disintegrate. The end will be spectacular, predicts Moore. If re-entry happens at night, sky watchers will see a brilliant fireball -- much like a bright Leonid meteor, only slower moving. No one will know exactly where the fireball will appear until a few hours before the end; orbital decay is that unpredictable. Click here for the latest re-entry predictions. There's no danger to anyone on the ground, Moore assures. We designed the satellite so that it will be 100% consumed about 80 km up. Except for a few small steel screws, the body of the spacecraft (including the mirrors) is made entirely of aluminum -- a substance that will vaporize during the fiery descent. We had no choice, quips Moore. Otherwise I was going to have to buy a 100 million dollar insurance policy with a $50,000 premium. The aluminum was cheaper. The end of Starshine 2, welcomed as it is by researchers, might seem a sad occasion for the many school kids who helped grind and polish its glittering mirrors and who have tracked it faithfully for months. But it's not the end of Project Starshine. Indeed, Starshine 2's larger cousin Starshine 3 (launched aboard a Kodiak Star rocket in Sept. 2001) remains in orbit around our planet. It won't likely descend until October or November 2002. Meanwhile, Starshine 4 and Starshine 5 are slated to launch on board a NASA shuttle early next year. The truth is, many kids, including kids-at-heart like Gil Moore, love the idea that they helped make a fireball. They'll gladly do it again and again (indeed, Moore has plans for Starshine 6 and beyond). And if scientists can learn something
