Re: [meteorite-list] Scam Alert
This is q very common and old scam. If something seems odd, strange, out of place, or illegal, it probably is. Usually the scam involves the person wanting you to keep extra money, and only sending pqrt to them, that is to get you to overlook the facts and play on your greed so you quickly cash the check and send them money.

Darren, Thanks for posting this to the list. I live close enough to stand at ground zero, and will now definitely schedule a trip. For the list, there is also a great book on the subject by C.

Ruane Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, October 23, 2005; C01 EASTVILLE, Va. A white fireball two miles across thunders from the sky at 30,000 mph and crashes into the ocean off the Virginia coast. The impact vaporizes billions of tons of water, rips a hole in the sea floor six miles deep and fractures the bedrock far into the Earth. The splash is 30 miles high. Debris is lofted over the horizon and rains down on an area of 3 million square miles, as distant as the Antarctic. Towering tsunamis surge toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. Nearby life -- ferocious-looking sea creatures and dog-sized proto-horses along the tropical shoreline -- is blasted and then swept into the abyss by the boiling ocean. A calamity of unimaginable scale, it is probably the most stupendous geological event ever on the East Coast. For more than a decade, geologists have believed that a gigantic object, an asteroid or a comet, struck the Earth north of Norfolk about 35 million years ago in a cataclysmic occurrence that left behind a 53-mile-wide, long-buried crater. An international team of scientists, seeking clues to the origins of the planets, has assembled in a windblown bean field near the crater's center to try to determine, among other things, exactly what happened when the object struck. Since early last month, the team has been working with a large drilling rig that uses diamond-tipped bits and brings up core samples to bore through eons of sedi ment toward the floor of the crater and the place where the impactor hit, believed to be about 7,000 feet below the surface. As a farmer harvested his soybean crop just north of Cape Charles on Virginia's Eastern Shore and the wind off the Chesapeake Bay blew dust and grasshoppers across the drilling site, it was hard to imagine the scale of what geologists believe happened there. "This is so big that we can't really picture it," said David S. Powars, a U.S. Geological Survey geologist, who said he first suspected the presence of an impact crater in the 1980s. "You could take the whole nuclear arsenal in its heyday: Russia, China, U.S. . . . That's a firecracker compared to what this explosion would be." The men and women of the small but intense crater community who gather at the spot attempt to picture it every day. "I dream this all the time," Powars said. "People say, 'Did you sleep?' I say, 'I worked all night dreaming it.' I try, but I'll be honest: I can't imagine the event." Their work is the culmination of a five-year project in which the USGS has drilled six holes probing the crater's landscape. This hole will be the program's deepest, and the last, officials say. Since the formal announcement in 1995 of what is now called the Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater, studies have detailed its dimensions and outline, experts say. Last year scientists for the first time found rock that had been melted by the impact and fossils of microorganisms that had been smashed in the event. There are scores of known impact sites around the world and millions more on planets and moons across the solar system. The one near Norfolk is Earth's seventh-largest site and the biggest in the United States. On Earth, such impacts can dramatically alter the landscape in seconds, geologists say. And some scientists believe that understanding the moment of impact, "the soul . . . the spirit" of the collision, as one said, might be a key to understanding the formation of the solar system. "If you think about how the Earth was formed," geologist Henning Dypvik of the University of Oslo said Wednesday at the drilling site. "The Earth was formed by a meteorite that came from here, an asteroid that came from there and a comet that came from here." He moved his hands as if making a snowball. "This is the base process for the formation of the Earth and the universe," he said. "By studying [impacts], by understanding the mechanisms, then we can know much more about the Earth and the formation of the planetary system." And then there is the question: What if such an object struck today? Even one a fraction of the size of the Chesapeake's would cause a disaster, said Powars, a Washington native and one of the people who discovered the crater. An impact by something a half-mile in size, an

[meteorite-list] Dust Green and the Five Dwarfs
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9772274/ Planetary seeds spotted around brown dwarfs Spitzer telescope detects ingredients needed to create a planet By Robert Roy Britt Space.com Updated: 6:58 p.m. ET Oct. 21, 2005 PASADENA, Calif. - Some potential stars just don't quite make it. They don't have enough mass to trigger the thermonuclear fusion that powers regular stars. They stall out, more massive than a planet but not as hot as a star. Astronomers call these failed stars brown dwarfs. Theory suggests planets could form around them. One such setup has been found but not confirmed. Now NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has found what may be the first stages of planet formation around brown dwarfs. Small clumps of microscopic dust grains and tiny crystals were detected orbiting five brown dwarfs. The material has flattened into a thin disk, which is what astronomers believe occurs before planets form around regular stars like the sun. The material in the newfound disks is the very stuff of planet formation, according to leading theory. It is the same ingredients spotted around regular young stars in other studies. The recipe has also been found in comets, which astronomers believe to be relatively pristine leftovers of the planet-formation process in our solar system. "We are learning that the first stages of planet formation are more robust than previously believed," said Dániel Apai, an astronomer at the University of Arizona and member of the NASA Astrobiology Institute. The results are detailed in today's issue of the journal Science. Strange worlds A brown dwarf shines in the infrared but releases very little if any visible light. Brown dwarfs have also been found orbiting other stars and orbiting other brown dwarfs. The brown dwarfs in the study are all about 520 light-years away, in the Chamaeleon constellation. They range in mass from 40 to 70 times the heft of Jupiter. They are young, at roughly 1 million to 3 million years old. Our Sun is 4.6 billion years old. Planets around brown dwarfs would be dark and cold, so astronomers don't know if life could form on them. Analysis of the Spitzer data shows that the dust particles have crystallized and are sticking together. One key ingredient found was the mineral olivine, the researchers said. "We are seeing processed particles that are linking up and growing in size," said Ilaria Pascucci, also from the University of Arizona and a co-author of the study. "This is exciting because we weren't sure if the disks of such cool objects would behave the same way that stellar disks do." © 2005 Space.com. All rights reserved.
