http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html SPIRIT UPDATE: Preparing to Grind at Mazatzal - sol 78, Mar 23, 2004 NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit woke up at 7:24 a.m. Mars Local Solar time on sol 78, which ended at 9:04 a.m. on March 23, 2004, and began a day of observations in preparation for the sol 79 grind on the rock called Mazatzal. After waking, Spirit warmed-up the mast actuators for some early morning soil and atmosphere miniature thermal emission spectrometer observations. It then went back to sleep before beginning the morning direct-to-earth communication session with the high gain antenna. At 10:00 a.m. Mars Local Solar time, Spirit began analyzing the soil targets Saber and Sandbox with the mini thermal emission spectrometer. It also took panoramic camera images of Skull and Saber. Then it was time to unfold the instrument arm to capture microscopic imager images of three targets on Mazatzal: Arizona, Illinois, and New York. The New York target was further analyzed with a 17-hour Moessbauer spectrometer integration. While the Moessbauer was integrating, Spirit proceeded to execute several mini thermal emission spectrometer and panoramic camera observations of interesting features in the surrounding area. The observations included images of Bonneville crater, Saber, Sandbox and Orange Beach. Spirit had completed all these activities by 2:40 p.m. Mars Local Solar time and then took a siesta until the afternoon Odyssey UHF pass. During that pass, the rover captured mini thermal emission spectrometer ground and sky images. Before shutting down at 5 p.m. Mars Local Solar time, Spirit positioned the panoramic camera for a nighttime observation of the moon Deimos. Sol 79, which ends at 9:43 a.m. on March 24, 2004, will be a momentous day for Spirit's rock abrasion tool; it will complete brushings on two Mazatzal targets. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

http://cwis.livjm.ac.uk/jmunews/final/story.asp?ref=2004032409433602665216 Near-Earth Asteroid JMU World (England) March 24, 2004 Liverpool Telescope Images The Liverpool Telescope - one of the world's largest robotic telescopes - captured outstanding images of the asteroid that made the closest-ever recorded approach to Earth without actually entering our atmosphere. Asteroid 2004FH, approximately 30 metres/100 feet wide, passed within 43,000km of the Earth last week on 18th March 2004. The Liverpool Telescope, a world-class research telescope sited in La Palma, Canary Islands, was in a very good position to observe the asteroid as its closest approach was over the South Atlantic, giving scientists unprecedented opportunities to study a near-Earth-asteroid close up. The Liverpool Telescope, designed and built by Telescope Technologies Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of JMU, is robotically controlled by the University's internationally respected Astrophysics Research Institute. JMU's astronomers believe that the Liverpool Telescope made the best observations of the asteroid and the data will now be used to refine the asteroid's orbit. The flexible schedule of the Liverpool Telescope meant that after being alerted by Alan Fitzsimmons from Queens University Belfast, Liverpool Telescope staffs on site in La Palma (Robert Smith, Jon Marchant, Alan Scott and Stuart Bates) were able to track the asteroid at short notice, obtaining the attached image. In this 5 second exposure the fast moving asteroid can be seen as the long trail entering the frame from the left. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

After long-lost asteroid 719 Albert was found again in the year 2000, he reviewed the orbital calculations and was thus able to confirm that asteroid Albert had definitely been rediscovered after 89 years. He also calculated the minimum approach distance of asteroid 1999 AN10 (diameter ca. 0.8 - 1.8 km) to Earth on August 7, 2027. Sit down, breathe deeply: it may come as close as ~38,000 km.

Re: [meteorite-list] Ad Weekly Rare Material (Pseudotachylite)
Hi John, Alan, Jeff, Bernd and List, A lot of questions are being asked by scientists and List members alike. To answer the question, Does this material attract to a magnet? Yes, there is a strong attraction to a magnet. It does have elemental metal specks that are perfectly round even at the microprobe level. Another question was, Why not call it an H7 if it has been recrystallized. This is because metamorphism did not create the achondritic texture, extreme shock did. As I said before degrees of metamorphism cannot be measured in this particular meteorite. Somebody asked, Does it have vesicles? The answer is no. An finally it was asked, Why is this not an IMB. Answer, this is not a breccia. If you go to the following link under Meteorite Classification Services and look at the H section under Ordinary Chondrites and scroll down to NWA 2058 you will see some formal data regarding this find. http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~wittke/Microprobe/Probe.html It is good to see a great deal of interest concerning this meteorite. I asked many questions myself in order to try to understand this particular meteorite. Hopefully my translation of what I have been told carries through in a way that proves how interesting this recent find really is.

Being an H, I suppose it does...but maybe not. John Dear List Members, We would like to introduce NWA 2058 an extremely odd meteorite called a plain H with no subclass. It is also known in the scientific circles as a Psuedotachylite. Through a great deal of study NAU and the UW determined this Psuedotachylite originated from the H chondrite parent body. It was not thought of as being a meteorite at first because it looks completely different than anything that had been seen before. Some may ask, How come no metamorphic subclass? It is the most shocked chondrite yet discovered with no chondritic features that can be measured for metamorphism meaning no metamorphic subclass can be assigned. Another problem was what to call it, an achondrite from a chondritic parent body or simply an H with the qualifier Psuedotachylite or melt rock. This unique material has caused a stir in the scientific community with laboratories requesting samples which will make this a very well studied meteorite. Here is a brief description of this one-of-a-kind meteorite: NWA 2058 is an H (Pseudotachylite), Fa 17.1-18.4, S6 plus, W2/3 chondrite found in Northwest Africa 2001. This unique meteorite cannot be subclassed because of extreme mylonitization. Mylonitization is fusion of crushed rock under high temperature by frictional heating. In other words, this meteorite was formed by a hypervelocity impact on the surface of an asteroid and cooled within milliseconds as it was ejected out into space. During the impact event it was crushed and sheared simultaneously creating subparallel veins in the direction of the material flow connecting elongated metal-sulfide nodules, talk about interesting! Relic grains show evidence of high strain rates, partially granulated clasts with undulatory extinction, in contrast to shock features. The matrix consists mostly of recrystallized olivine. The round objects are not chondrules but are impact melted and quenched metal sulfide. Five stones with unusually smooth fusion crusts were found adding up to 80 grams TKW. So far 17.1 grams has been provided to science and a great deal was lost to cutting and polishing leaving very little for collectors. Since this unusual meteorite is still currently under study and other laboratories are requesting samples we plan on preserving a good portion in our collection for future studies. I brought up that there are Hs listed with no subtype and was told this is not the same situation as with this special meteorite. The reason for the others is simply incomplete information. In some cases there was not enough material to subclassify and in other cases the classifications were never completed. In yet other cases the material was lost through time. The classification on this unique meteorite is complete making it the only plain H that has been fully classified with supporting data. Since we have no idea what something like this is worth we will let the market decide by starting over a dozen prepared specimens out at just 99 cents and see where they end up. Hopefully, the proceeds will be enough to offset lab fees we incurred during the study of this material. This new meteorite is so dark that is very difficult to photograph the features. I will try to take some photomicrographs with a digital microscope in the

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html SPIRIT UPDATE: Sweep and Study the 'States' - sol 79, Mar 24, 2004 NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit awakened at 9:35 a.m. Mars Local Solar Time on Sol 79, which ended at 9:43 a.m. PST on March 24. An early morning review of the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer data revealed that the instrument's doors were not fully open and that the tool did not completely engage at the intended New York target on the rock dubbed Mazatzal. The alpha particle X-ray spectrometer integration on New York will be repeated on sol 80. Spirit took a nap until 12:45 Mars Local Solar time to conserve power for the upcoming grind on Mazatzal on sol 81. Once the rover woke up, it began the sequences of brushing and analyzing two targets, New York and Illinois, on Mazatzal. Each target was brushed with the rock abrasion tool and then imaged with the microscopic imager and panoramic camera. The entire sequence ended with a Moessbauer spectrometer integration on the New York target. Rover controllers plan to let Spirit rest until 4 a.m. Mars Local Solar time on Sol 80, when the tools on the robotic arm will be changed to place the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer on the brushed New York target. The rest of sol 80, which will end at 10:23 a.m. on March 25, will be spent analyzing the brushed and unbrushed areas of Mazatzal with the instruments on the rover's robotic arm. OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Back to Bright Material - sol 58, Mar 24, 2004 The song Come on Home by Lambert, Hendricks and Ross beckoned Opportunity back toward its landing site crater to an area of bright material. The rover also began to image a panoramic mosaic of the plains on this sol, which ended at 9:25 p.m. PST on March 23.

It is the most shocked chondrite yet discovered with no chondritic features that can be measured for metamorphism meaning ... So the Yanzhuang (H6, S6) chondrite that fell 1990, Oct 31, and is one of the most severely reheated and the most severely shocked H chondrites has got a new brother. Shock stage: S6 plus ... According to Stöffler, S6 means: very strongly shocked, recrystallization of olivine and phase transformations of olivine (ringwoodite). I wonder if this will lead to an extension of the shock stage scale to S7 ?! this meteorite was formed by a hypervelocity impact on the surface of an asteroid and cooled within milliseconds as it was ejected out into space. Fast cooling and complete melting also happened to Yanzhuang. F. Begemann et al. write: The metal in the FeNi-FeS blobs shows the distinct dentritic structure characteristic of fast cooling. Indeed, the typical dentrite width of some 30 micrometers is comparable to that observed in a metal regulus of vacuum-melted H-chondrite Pantar that was cooled down to 800°C within approximately 3 minutes. Adam, do NWA 2058 FeNi-FeS blobs also show this dentritic structure? NWA 2058 is an H (Pseudotachylite) ... According to Rubin, the Elbert LL6 chondrite contains narrow glassy pseudo- tachylite-like veins. If these veinlets are type-A, they may be coesite- and stishovite-bearing. Adam, any reports of these high-pressure polymorphs in NWA 2058?

[meteorite-list] Interesting asteroid names: 2099 Opik
Hello List, After the Yarkovsky effect had been discovered around 1900 by the Russian engineer Yarkovsky, his discovery and work were soon forgotten until this effect was remembered by Ernst Opik in 1951. E. Opik re-derived the effect and underlined its importance in mobilizing meter-scale asteroid debris in the solar system.

[meteorite-list] The Old Woman Meteorite, updates III, IV, and V ;-)
A few times over the years I've posted bits and pieces regarding the saga of the "Old Woman", the wonderful large (2,750 kg!) IIAB iron meteorite from the mountains of San Bernardino County,which has had a colorful legal history, and which has mostly recentlyresided at the Desert Discovery Center in Barstow, CA. http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/oldwoman.jpg Every time I would drive through the Mojave desert to-or-from Las Vegas or wherever, I would stop and check up on it, usually speaking with either a very sweet, older woman or her son,the two of whomseemed to be single-handedly (and on an essentially volunteer-basis) trying to keep the Center afloat.They both expressed unconcealed frustration at getting the cooperation, funding, and staffing necessaryto keep the Center going.A fewvisits ago, the woman had died, and her son's frustration level had greatly increased, to the point where he was pacing and muttering and seemed really quite agitated at the subject of dealing with (according to him) the bureaucracy and noncooperationof the BLM. On my next trip some months later, the Center'sdoors werepadlocked, no operating hours were posted, and the surrounding area had clearly not even been swept up recently. Looking through the glass, I could see that the meteorite was still within, but obviously no attention was being paid to the building. In a pleasantly-surprising reversal,when I just stopped byyesterday afternoon, the Center was not only open, but the displays had been updated and spruced upconsiderably. Schoolchildren's posters and drawings of the meteorite adorned the walls. I wandered around for a while and never did run into anyone who appeared to bein charge ofthe premises, perhapsit was a momentwhen they were"in the back" atlunch or something. So this is the view from an "outsider"I'm wondering if anyone has any news from within, about the status of the building, the meteorite, or who's now running the show, regarding this California treasure.

[meteorite-list] LL6/7 New rare type for sale.
Hi everyone, I am catching up on tons of old work, slowly but surely. I have a very rare meteorite that I just got the classification on. It is an LL6/7, looks fresher than most falls I have in my collection, not the slightest sign of weathering on the inside, rich soft fresh fusion crust like Bensour. I will be cutting it up and offering it for sale tomorrow, but I need to know more about this type, how rare is it? Are there any others like it? What price should it be. Type collectors should be all over it as it is certainly a hard one to fill. Mike Farmer

[meteorite-list] Mystery Achondrite Found in Amgala Batch
Dear List, After going through our last batch of completely crusted Amgala chondrite specimens we came across this achondrite. I guess it pays to use a magnet and a microscope to look at each and every specimen. After a magnet was not the least bit attracted to this stone we examined it under a microscope and saw a thin translucent caramel colored crust with contraction cracks. We ground a small edge and were shocked by what we saw next. It looks almost like NWA 482 but brighter with what appears to be a pure white anorthosite matrix. This possible lunar is absolutely gorgeous and fresh! Now we know what Robert Haag must of felt like when he ground a corner off of Calcalong Creek. It will now be a game of hurry up and wait for lab results. To see what we are so excited about, check out the links below: http://www.lunarrock.com/MysteryStone/mystery1.jpg http://www.lunarrock.com/MysteryStone/mystery2.jpg Do not forget we still have a few slices of the Amgala chondrite running on ebay as over half have been sold with buy-it-now.

Dear List, We are looking for some advice. Say a pairing was found to the Old Woman iron meteorite. What would be the best course of action? 1.) Donate it to the BLM Desert Discovery Center. 2.) Donate it to the Smithsonian. 3.) Withhold it from the BLM. 4.) Try to prove a point by taking the BLM to court andriskloosing. 5.) Keep itand not say a word. 6.)
