[meteorite-list] "New" Campo del Cielo data sought
Hi list Reason for the question: I am a co-author of the paper "Myth and catastrophic reality: Using cosmogonic mythology to identify cosmic impacts and massive plinian eruptions in Holocene South America." A invited presentation for the symposium, "Myth and Geology," 32nd Geological Congress, to be submitted later this month in Florence, Italy THE QUESTION: Can anyone with direct knowledge confirm these 1999-recent recoveries were made within the 80 km strewn field identified in: Cassidy W A, Villar L M, Bunch T E, Kohman T P, Milton D J, 1965. Meteorites and craters of Campo del Cielo, Argentina. Science, Vol 149, No. 3688, 1055-1064? If outside the known field an approximate distance would be appreciated.

[meteorite-list] Bright Meteor Seen in New Zealand
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/latestnewsstory.cfm?storyID=3581883 Meteorites seen in North Island New Zealand Herald August 3, 2004 Meteorites were reported this morning in the Auckland region and the lower North Island. The police central communications centre said a meteorite which streaked across the lower North Island sky in the early hours of this morning had been seen by pilots from several aircraft. It had been described as quite bright, white and green, breaking up as it crossed the sky, a spokesman said. Police had received five reports from people who had seen the meteorite from Hawke's Bay to the upper South Island. National Radio reported pilots had narrowed the landing point of the meteorite to the sea northeast of Cape Palliser in southern Wairarapa. Sergeant Paul Lee of Masterton police said he had seen a bright orange line in the sky, brighter in the front and fading away towards the back. "It was a flash in the sky, a definite line." There was also a report of a meteorite in Waitakere City around 6.35am. Alan Barlow, a 32-year-old IT worker from Auckland, said he was driving east on Hobsonville Rd when he saw a bright object about the size of a softball cross the sky in front of him. "It was probably a thousand feet high, and had a tail about 20-feet long that was a bright luminous green." Mr Barlow said the meteorite was visible for 5-8 seconds, and he presumed it had landed in the Hobsonville air force base. "I was keen to pull over and have a look for it, but figured that would probably be a waste of time - and I had to get to work." He said he just hoped the meteorite had missed the houses in the area. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Bright Light Seen Near New Zealand
http://tvnz.co.nz/view/news_national_story_skin/439747%3fformat=html Meteorite lights up early morning sky tvnz.co.nz August 3, 2004 Wellington police have identified a bright light seen off the east coast of the lower North Island in the early hours of Tuesday morning as a meteorite. Several pilots reported seeing a bright white and green light enter the atmosphere, which lit up the cockpit of one plane. As it broke up it was visible as fragments which turned red as they disintegrated, A Masterton police officer described the meteorite as the biggest he had ever seen. Sergeant Paul Lee was on duty overnight when he was distracted by the light which he says lasted only about a second. Police received calls from people from Hawke's Bay to Canterbury about the light. Pilots have narrowed the meteorite's landing point to the sea near White Rock, north east of Cape Palliser in Wairarapa. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Mars Express Image: Perspective View of Deposits in Melas Chasma
http://www.esa.int/export/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMFKTV4QWD_0.html Perspective view of deposits in Melas Chasma European Space Agency Mars Express 2 August 2004 This image of the southern part of Valles Marineris, called Melas Chasma, was obtained by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the ESA Mars Express spacecraft. This image was taken at a resolution of approximately 30 metres per pixel. The displayed region is located at the southern rim of the Melas Chasma, centred at Mars latitude 11° S and Mars longitude 286° E. The images were taken on orbit 360 of Mars Express. This perspective view has been turned in such a way that the observer has a view of the southern scarp, almost 5000 metres high. The basin on the floor of the valley is on the opposite side, bordered by a ridge. On its flanks it is possible to make out some layering. However, the nature of the bright material, possibly some kind of deposit, is still unknown. This perspective view was created by using the nadir (vertical view) channel and one stereo channel of the HRSC to produce a digital model of the terrain. Please note that image resolution has been reduced for use on the internet. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rover Update - July 30, 2004
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Opportunity Sees Double. - sol 177-180, July 30, 2004 Opportunity marked its 180th sol on Mars without pausing to celebrate. Originally slated for missions of 90 sols each, both Spirit and Opportunity have passed the double-mission milestone and are continuing their phenomenal journeys of discovery. On sol 177 Opportunity performed a two-hour rock abrasion tool grind on the target "Diamond Jenness," then took the resulting hole's picture with the microscopic imager. Surface debris and the bumpy shape of the rock apparently contributed to a shallow and irregular hole, only about 2 millimeters or .08 inches deep, not enough to take out all the bumps and leave a neat hole with a smooth floor. The alpha particle X-ray spectrometer examined the rock's composition in the abraded area during early morning of sol 178. The team decided that sol 178 would be used to grind into "Diamond Jenness" again in hopes of deepening the hole. The sequence went extremely well with the rock abrasion tool grinding almost an additional 5 millimeters (about 0.2 inches). The rover then started a Mössbauer spectrometer reading of the deepened hole. On sol 179 the rover completed the Mössbauer integration, gathered some remote-sensing data, then positioned the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer on the abraded hole for an early-morning integration at cold temperature on sol 180. This double integration of the hole (once on sol 178 at an intermediate depth and then a second one at full depth) will give the science team a unique opportunity to evaluate how the composition changes with depth. On sol 180, which ended on July 27, the rover stowed its arm and drove back up the slope about 1.5 meters (about 5 feet), then turned a little to the right to go back down about 0.5 meters (about 1.6 feet). The drive up was to gain a vantage point from which to image the abraded hole in "Diamond Jenness" with the panoramic camera and to evaluate characteristics of the driving on this particular terrain. The drive back down and to the right served to position the rover for potentially proceeding farther into the crater (avoiding a sandy patch to its left). It also left the rover at a better angle for communications in the afternoon. The drive went well, with less slip that anticipated, reinforcing the team's confidence in driving back up out of the crater on some future sol. In general, the rover continues to perform well, benefiting from a predominantly northward tilt and the greater solar-array energy that affords. The Mars Odyssey orbiter continues to perform as the rover's primary source of data return. The location on the slope of "Endurance Crater" and intensive use of the instrument arm hinder rover drivers from orienting Opportunity optimally for the radio relays to Odyssey. The level of communication is acceptable for now and the team expects that, some sol, Opportunity will venture back out of the crater to explore to new places. When the rover is on flatter ground, the team can optimize communications with Odyssey more often. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Peekskill CAST
Hello Marcin, three years ago I had a similar problem, as I needed two casts of Peekskill for two travelling meteorite exhibitions. At that time (summer 2001) there were NO casts of Peekskill available on the market, and I had to buy these casts back from two collectors at high prices. Btw, there are some very nice casts of the "Neuschwanstein" meteorite, that fell on April 6, 2002 in Bavaria, Germany still available from our web site www.meteorites.de/sale.htm Go to the bottom of this site and you will find them with a picture and description.
