[meteorite-list] Newspaper article, 07-02 1922 Life in Meteorites
Paper: THE CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL City: CHARLESTON Date: Sunday, July 2, 1922 Amazing Proof From the Sky of Life on Other Planets The Astounding Discovery by French Scientist of Animal and Vegetable Forms Preserved in the Meteorites Which Fall to the Earth Fossilized Crinoids, Small Forms of Animal Life Imbedded in a Meteorte By Dr. W. H. Ballou Does life exist on other planets? This fascinating problem of the universe, which has intrigued the mind of man for thousands of years, has at last been answered definitely in the affimative, according to the belief of leading scientists. The astonishing discovery has just been communicated to the world by Dr. Galippe, the distinguished laureate of the French Academy of Science and Academy of Medicine. Aided by his famous colleague, Dr. Soufflaud, has has completed a series of experiments which he believes yield convincing proof of the existence of fossil forms - of both animal and vegetable life - imbedded in certain meteorites which have fallen to earth from the sky. All children know what a meteorite is. They have a more picturesque name for it. They call it a "shooting star." Dozens of times you have seen one of them shooting earthward through the Summer night. Of course, it isn't really a shooting star. It isn't a star at all. It is a chunk of black rock which ahs been flung off from some celestial body and which comes hurtling through space for millions of miles. During the first part of its journey it would be invisible, even if you were close enough to think you might catch a glimpse of it - for it is cold and dead. It is only when it enters the earth's atmosphere - composed of oxygen and hydrogen - that it takes fire from the friction caused by its ummense speed and blazed into view as a ball of fire. Friction ceases when it strikes the earth and it becomes black and cold again. While it is falling it is called a meteor. After it has hit the earth it is called a meteorite. There are thousands of them. You can see them in any natural history museum. When meteors first began to be examined scientifically, observers were content to discover that they were composed of "igneous rock" - that is, mineral matter which had been fused by subjection to intense heat. But meteors were too interesting for observers to be long content with that simple fact. they were - and still are - the only "messages" which the earth receives from the other stars or planets (with the exception of light waves), and for several generations the best scientific minds have been engaged in the fascinating pursuit of further desciphering these "letters" from other worlds. For a long time the subject of just how much could be learned from these meteorites have been controversial - and to some extent is still so - but the latest discoveres by Galippe and Soffland are, in the writer's opinion convincing proof that life acutally exists, or did exist, somewhere out there in illimitable space. The experiments have involved the most exacting microscopic and chemical analyses. Under these the meteorites have revealed not only the mineralized forms of such lower animals as the crinoids - to which the star-fish and sea-urchin belong - corals and sponges, but peat and coal, as well. Peat and coal, as you know, are of vegetable origin. Furthermore, in some of these meteorites traces of water have been found and in others oxygen. These discoveries imbedded in the stony masss form a message compact, unequivocal and startling. They show not only that life exists somewhere "out there" in the world they have been torn from, but also that the world "out there" must have been, in some respects, like our own. The crinoids, spongers and corals, much like the same formations we still have on this earth to-day, prove that this other world possessd an ocean; the peat and coak, that it had vegetation and probably forests; the water and oxygen, that it possed an atmosphere. Where rolled the world of which the meteorite was a part? What ruled it - creatures comparable to man, lower forms, higher forms, or strange shaped produced by processes of evolution unknown to us here? And what happened to that world? Such things can be guessed at only. As to what its life forms were, two things seem reasonably sure. One is that they resembled in some degree those we know on earth. This is indicated by the similarity of the criniold fossils to our own crinoid forms, and by the presence of water and oxygen showing that the conditions were to some extent like our own. The other thing we can believe with reasonable certainty is that while they differed widely in others, for the conditions in which they underwent their long evolutionary processes much have been alike in some ways, different in others. The artist who has made the large drawlings on this page gives you an idea of what you might expect if you visited another of these inhabited planets. You would probley see forms which reminded you of things you had seen on earth,

Hello List, Would any one going to the G.B group hunt on Jan 11th and 12th please let me know your plans, ie, coming in friday night or driving in saturday morning to help figure out a good meeting time. We don't want to leave any one who might be running a few minutes late, behind. : ) For the benifit of the people who have never been to G.B. before, it might be a good idea to meet at the corner of Gregs hide out Rd. and Pierce ferry rd. And for those who have not been out there before, the only bathrooms have thorns or leaves and there's no Mc Donalds either! : ) Thanks, Tom The proudest member of the I.M.C.A. #6168 _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 3 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virusxAPID=42PS=47575PI=7324DI=7474SU= http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsgHL=1216hotmailtaglines_eliminateviruses_3mf __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Tucson Show 2003 - Video
Hello List Members, Over the past year, Bob Holmes (a fellow list member) and I have been preparing to produce a video at the Tucson Gem Mineral Show 2003 with the focus on meteorites, the meteorite people and related events. We think this video will be of interest to all meteorite enthusiasts. It will also be a good way for those of you who cannot attend the show personally to see and hear some members of the meteorite community and see some fantastic meteorites as well. This will not be a home video project - we will be using professional grade equipment to help us produce a top quality product with an anticipated running time of 45 - 50 minutes. Any of you that will be attending the Tucson Show and would like to appear in this video, please contact me and let me know what days you will be attending. Our plan right now is for the majority of the video to be shot February 7-9, 2003 which is the weekend that most of the meteorite related events will be happening. For more information, please contact me ASAP. We haven't set a deadline yet, but we would like to get our schedule lined out well in advance. If more folks respond than we can fit into the video, we will be using the first-come-first-servedconcept as one of the methods of choosing our final list. We also reserve the right to include only those people that we feel properly represent the science and hobby of meteorites and the meteorite community in general.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Show 2003 - Video
John Bob, Now I wish I was going to be in Tucson for the show!...looks like you have a great project going on and I wish I had the chance to be involved. I light and shoot video for a living and love collecting meteorites. Was wondering what format you're going to shoot on and edit. I shoot mostly with my broadcast Betacam camera package but have been doing some HDTV stuff lately. My son Sean (also a collector) has a Cannon xl1s DV Keep us informed on your progress, if there is any thing we can do to help, let us know.

[meteorite-list] Tucson and Michael Blood's Auction
Hello Everybody, I just took a look at Michael Blood's auction page and am looking foward to an entertaining night. Michael Blood was the first to run an all meteorite auction and it is nice to see that he has continued to make efforts to bring us more meteorites and to make sure that everyone can be a part of the event. It truely is The People's Auction. I think it was Mike Martinez that commented last year to me, "These auction are worth going to just for the humor." Add a chance to see that awesome Gujba slice in person, the rare African meteorite slices provided by the Hupes, along with a keg of beer and it makes the trip to Tucson seem a little more worth it. All the auction details and some photos can be veiwed at the following address: http://www.michaelbloodmeteorites.com/Tucson%20Auction.html As plans are now, I will arrive sometime on Wendsday and leave out sometime on Sunday during the week of the meteorite events. If I have not had the pleasure of talking and meeting any of the list members that will be there, PLEASE come up to me and introduce yourself. In a side note Dean Bessey will not be attending this year. I think his trouble on crossing the Canada-USA border last year has him still a little upset. Dean was the one person of the thousand of foreign sellers that made the show that was not going to be let into the country because he does not have a US work permit. Looking foward to seeing everyone is Tucson. Let's hope we do not get a late snow like we did last year. Tucson didn't seem right with a snow blanket. Warm thoughts from Kansas where snow has been on the ground for over a week and I am tired of it. Mark Bostick

[meteorite-list] Mystery Object Seen Streaking Through The Sky Near Scotland
http://www.thisisnorthscotland.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=84106command=displayContentsourceNode=83936contentPK=3354916 NE RESIDENTS IN FLYING 'BALL' SCARE MARC HORNE 24 December 2002 A mystery object was seen streaking through the sky near a North-east community. A comet-like ball was seen plunging towards the sea off Cammachmore, near Stonehaven. The bizarre X-files-style sighting left residents baffled - but skywatchers believe it may have been a piece of space junk. The Cammachmore comet was spotted in unseasonably clear skies at around 10 in the morning. Myself and my husband were having a cup of coffee when something caught my eye out of the kitchen window, said the woman, whose home overlooks the coast. We both stared out at the sky and could not believe what we were seeing. The object was heading straight down from the sky and was travelling at some speed. The couple, who did not want to be named, then grabbed binoculars to get a better view. I can only describe it as looking like a ball - with a small comet-like tail behind it, she said. My husband is a bit of a plane buff and we both agreed this definitely was not any kind of aircraft. The object then silently vanished from view within minutes. Aberdeen Coastguard were unaware of it. My guess is that people were confused by the sight of the sun for the first time in months, joked a spokesman. A Met Office spokesman said: From the description it sound like it may well have been space debris. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Workshop: The Planet Mars
http://www.cta-congres.com/planetmars/ang/index_uk.htm Workshop: The Planet Mars Physics School of Les Houches, France April 28 - May 9, 2003 Objective Scope of the Workshop In June 2003, the launch of the Mars Express mission will be a major event for the European community involved in planetary science. This mission is part of an international programme devoted to the exploration of Mars, including orbital science, in-situ measurements and return of Martian samples. This programme requires close cooperation between astronomers, geophysicists, chemists and biologists. Furthermore, the two Mars Exploration Rovers of NASA/JPL that will explore two different sites over a period of three months, will also be launched, in 2004. The aim of the present workshop is to bring young scientists from France and Europe together, with recognised leading scientists in all fields of Mars exploration. Courses will be given on our present knowledge of the planet Mars (interior, surface, atmosphere and ionosphere, interaction with the solar wind, Martian meteorites). Seminars will be also devoted to forthcoming space missions and the preparation of their scientific exploitation, including the analysis of Martian samples. General informations Venue Les Houches is a resort village in the Chamonix valley in the French Alps. Established in 1951, the Physics School is located in a group of chalets surrounded by meadows and woods, at an altitude of 1150m facing the Mont Blanc range.
