[meteorite-list] Witness Stardust Capsule Re-Entry This Weekend
http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060110/NEWS10/601100361/1016/NEWS Witness NASA capsule's re-entry this weekend rgj.com (Nevada) January 10, 2006 When a NASA capsule hauling comet and interstellar dust plummets through the Earth's atmosphere this weekend, residents in large sweeps of the West will witness a cosmic spectacle. During the Stardust capsule's blazing re-entry at 1:57 a.m. PST Sunday, it will travel at 29,000 mph, making it the fastest man-made object to return to Earth. The 100-pound cargo will arc over Northern California toward Utah's Dugway Proving Ground, a remote Army base southwest of Salt Lake City. Residents in parts of Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Utah should see the Stardust capsule as it streaks across the pre-dawn sky. Prime viewing will be along Nevada's Interstate 80 where residents can view the capsule's front. The capsule's glow is expected to shine as bright as Venus for 90 seconds. It will appear brightest over Carlin, a small mining city in northeast Nevada. The capsule will likely appear as a bright pink dot to the naked eye. In certain places, those with telescopes may see the capsule pass in front of the moon, appearing as a tiny dot trailed by a dark wave of hot air and debris from its heat shield. During the capsule's descent, a team of scientists aboard a NASA DC-8 aircraft will track it and measure its brightness. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] After 3 Billion Miles, Stardust Returns Sunday Bearing Cosmic Dust Older Than The Sun
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/10/science/space/10star.html After 3 Billion Miles, Craft Returns Sunday Bearing Cosmic Dust Older Than the Sun By WARREN E. LEARY New York Times January 10, 2006 In a blaze across the night sky, it should be a spectacular homecoming at the end of a very, very long journey. After covering 2.88 billion miles over seven years, the Stardust spacecraft is nearing home with its minute but precious cargo: samples of what are believed to be the oldest materials in the solar system. Tucked away in what looks like a giant fly swatter of a collector is dust swooped up from a close encounter with the comet Wild 2 and an accumulation of particles picked up in three circuits of the Sun. "This has been a fantastic opportunity to collect the most primitive material in the solar system," said Donald Brownlee of the University of Washington, the principal investigator for the mission. "We fully expect some of the comet particles to be older than the Sun." Comets, icy bodies that normally inhabit a region near Pluto's orbit, are made of material many scientists believe is virtually unchanged since the Sun and the planets formed about 4.6 billion years ago. Studying comets not only provides clues to how the solar system was created but could also help explain how certain materials and conditions combined to form life, researchers said. "Comets are a library of our history," said Thomas Duxbury, project manager at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., which is supervising the mission. After its launching in 1999, the Stardust circled the Sun and flew by Earth for a gravity boost to rendezvous with Wild 2 (pronounced vilt 2) near Jupiter. On Jan. 2, 2004, the Stardust came within 149 miles of the comet, deploying shields to protect itself from cometary dust while extending a 160-square-inch collector filled with a material called aerogel. This low-density silicon material, composed of 99.8 percent air, gently slowed and trapped particles without significantly altering or damaging them. Stardust also spent 195 days collecting interstellar particles that flow through the solar system. The challenge now is to bring them home safely. If all goes as planned, a capsule bearing the space dust will dive into the atmosphere early Sunday morning and gently parachute the samples to the Utah desert. But bringing the Stardust home will require an orchestrated sequence of events, many of them performed autonomously by the spacecraft. Adding to the tension is the fact that the Stardust return capsule is similar to one released by an earlier NASA probe called Genesis, which crashed to Earth in 2004 when its parachutes failed. Collector plates that trapped solar particles during Genesis' two-year mission were shattered and contaminated, but scientists are trying to recover some of the science. "We are convinced that this is not going to happen on Stardust," said Edward Hirst, the mission's systems manager. "We took the lessons learned on Genesis and looked at Stardust." Both craft were built by Lockheed Martin and share some systems. But engineers said that the faulty switch believed to have failed in deploying parachutes on the more complex Genesis capsule passed testing on Stardust before launching. Nonetheless, Mr. Duxbury said, NASA has prepared contingency plans to recover the samples in case the mission, which cost $212 million, ends in a crash landing. "If we have an accident and land hard, we still think we can get the science out," he said. Stardust has begun its final preparations to come home. On Nov. 16, it performed the first of three trajectory correction maneuvers aiming it at a target area southwest of Salt Lake City. The second, Hirst said, was performed Thursday and was a textbook maneuver. "After sifting through all the post-burn data, I expect we will find ourselves right on the money," he said. The last adjustment, scheduled for Friday, will place the craft in a re-entry corridor for a landing point within an ellipse measuring 47 by 27 miles. Plans call for Stardust to release its 101-pound sample return capsule on Sunday at 12:57 a.m. Eastern time, when the spacecraft is 68,805 miles from Earth. About 15 minutes later, the main spacecraft is to fire thrusters that divert it from Earth into an orbit around the Sun. Four hours after release, the three-foot-wide return capsule is to enter the Earth's atmosphere at 410,000 feet above the Pacific. At 28,860 miles an hour, this will be the fastest a human-made object has ever entered the atmosphere. At 200,000 feet, the capsule's heat shield will reach a peak temperature of 365 degrees Fahrenheit, followed 10 seconds later by peak deceleration as the capsule experiences 38 times the force of gravity. The fireball of the descent should be visible from areas in Northern California, Southern Oregon, Northern Nevada, Southern Idaho and Western Utah, depending upon clou
[meteorite-list] Scientists See Better, Fainter with New Keck Laser Guide Star
http://www.keckobservatory.org/news/science/060110_lgs/index.html Scientists See Better, Fainter with New Keck Laser Guide Star Keck Observatory WASHINGTON, D. C. (January 10, 2006) A new sodium laser is giving 50 times more sky coverage to the atmospheric-correcting technology known as adaptive optics on the Keck II telescope at Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The laser lets scientists explore most of the sky with adaptive optics and gives them the capability to study objects that were previously too faint to be seen with the system. Since 1999, Keck Adaptive Optics has provided 10 times more resolving power than what could otherwise be achieved from the ground. The results are producing infrared images from the ground comparable - and often better - than those taken from space. "This has been the most exciting technological and scientific breakthrough for the Observatory in the last decade. It may forever change the way we do astronomy from the ground," said W. M. Keck Observatory Director Fred Chaffee. "We are entering a new, extraordinary era of discovery." After just one year of regular scientific use, the Keck Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics system is producing spectacular results and advancing research in several fields of astronomical study. Findings include the discovery of new asteroids, moons and planetoids in our solar system, the detection of new brown dwarf binary systems -- including a strange new kind of binary, observations of physical processes taking place near a supermassive black hole, and new findings about extremely distant supernovae and young galaxies. The technique of adaptive optics uses visible light from a bright star to measure and correct for atmospheric distortions at infrared wavelengths. But only about two percent of the sky has stars bright enough to use with adaptive optics. The Keck Laser Guide Star system overcomes this limitation by creating an artificial star anywhere in the sky. The W. M. Keck Observatory is the only 8 10 meter class facility in the world currently providing this capability to observers. "The wish list for astronomers is pretty simple," said Dr. David Le Mignant, adaptive optics scientist at the W. M. Keck Observatory. "First, they want the highest-quality images that can possibly be obtained. Second, they want to look anywhere they want to in the sky. The laser guide star makes both these wishes come true." Operating at nearly 1,000 times a second, the Keck adaptive optics system minimizes the blurring effects of Earth's atmosphere to provide infrared images 10 times better than what can be achieved from the ground. Without any correcting technology, the best telescopes on Earth are limited to an average "seeing" ability, or resolving power, of about 0.5 arcseconds, the equivalent of being able to distinguish an object the size of a blueberry from 2.5 miles (4 km) away. But with adaptive optics, atmospheric blurring is removed, producing a resolving power of about 50 milliarcseconds or better. This improvement is like looking at a penny from 2.5 miles away and being able to read the words, "ONE CENT" and "Liberty" stamped on the coin. "We are shattering a limitation for ground-based observations -- astronomers can now uncover and study fine structures in extremely faint objects anywhere, within and beyond our galaxy, " said Dr. Le Mignant. "This new data will particularly complement present deep sky surveys which study the formation of galaxies in the universe." More than 21 scientific results made possible with the Keck Laser Guide Star system are presented today at the 207th meeting of the AAS in Washington D.C. Among the many new significant findings discussed at Special Session 98, "Seeing the Universe in a New (Sodium) Light": * In the distant regions of our solar system, scientists at Caltech have used the Keck Laser Guide Star to discover three new satellites orbiting some of the largest objects in the Kuiper belt. The surprising properties of these moons suggest that they are formed very differently from the tiny moons known to orbit smaller Kuiper Belt Objects. (A. Bouchez, Caltech) * At the center of our own Milky Way galaxy, the hostile environment around the supermassive black hole should make it difficult for stars to form, but a group of massive young stars has been detected and their origins are puzzling scientists. The problem has been dubbed "the paradox of youth." Now, UCLA scientists are able to measure how these young stars move across the sky with an unparalleled precision of only two kilometers per second, and determine, for the first time, the orbit of each of the young stars located more than a few light months from the black hole. Scientists are using the stars' orbits, which retain an imprint of their origin, to understand how and where these young stars may have formed. (J. Lu, UCLA) * Also in

[meteorite-list] Public to Look for Dust Grains in Stardust Detectors
Media Relations University of California-Berkeley Media Contacts: Robert Sanders (510) 643-6998, (510) 642-3734 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 Public to look for dust grains in Stardust detectors By Robert Sanders, Media Relations BERKELEY -- Astronomy buffs who jumped at the chance to use their home computers in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] search for intelligent life in the universe will soon be able to join an Internet-based search for dust grains originating from stars millions of light years away. In a new project called [EMAIL PROTECTED], University of California, Berkeley, researchers will invite Internet users to help them search for a few dozen submicroscopic grains of interstellar dust captured by NASA's Stardust spacecraft and due to return to Earth in January 2006. Though Stardust's main mission was to capture dust from the tail of comet Wild 2 -- dust dating from the origins of the solar system some 4.5 billion years ago -- it also captured a sprinkling of dust from distant stars, perhaps created in supernova explosions less than 10 million years ago. "These will be the very first contemporary interstellar dust grains ever brought back to Earth for study," said Andrew Westphal, a UC Berkeley senior fellow and associate director of the campus's Space Sciences Laboratory who developed the technique NASA will use to digitally scan the aerogel in which the interstellar dust grains are embedded. "Stardust is not only the first mission to return samples from a comet, it is the first sample return mission from the galaxy." "Like [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is the world's largest computer, we hope [EMAIL PROTECTED] will also be a large computer, though more of a neural network, using brains together to find these grains," said Bryan Mendez of the Center for Science Education at the Space Sciences Laboratory. Mendez and Nahide Craig, assistant research astronomer at the laboratory, plan to create K-12 curricula around the [EMAIL PROTECTED] project and to reach out to local astronomy groups to boost participation. Mendez and Craig will describe their educational outreach program in a poster session on Jan. 10 at the national meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington, D.C. Based on previous measurements of interstellar dust by both the Ulysses and Galileo spacecrafts, Westphal expects to find approximately 45 grains of submicroscopic dust in the collector, a mosaic of tiles of lightweight aerogel forming a disk about 16 inches in diameter -- nearly a square foot in area -- and half an inch thick. Though those searching for pieces of Wild 2's tail will easily be able to pick out the thousands of cometary dust grains embedded in the front of the detector, finding the 45 or so grains of interstellar dust stuck in the back of the detector won't be so easy. Thanks to a grant from NASA and assistance from the Planetary Society, however, Westphal and his colleagues at the Space Sciences Laboratory have created a "virtual microscope" that will allow anyone with an Internet connection to scan some of the 1.5 million pictures of the aerogel for tracks left by speeding dust. Each picture will cover an area smaller than a grain of salt. "Twenty or 30 years ago, we would have hired a small army of microscopists who would be hunched over microscopes focusing up and down through the aerogel looking for the tracks of these dust grains," said Westphal. "Instead, we developed an automated microscope to scan the aerogel and hope to use volunteers we have trained and tested to search for these tracks." The Web-based virtual microscope will be made available to the public in mid-March, even before all the scans have been completed in a cleanroom at Houston's Johnson Space Center. In all, Westphal expects to need some 30,000 person hours to look through the scanned images at least four times. Searching each picture should take just a few seconds, but the close attention required as the viewer repeatedly focuses up and down through image after image will probably limit the number a person can scan in one sitting. To insure that the volunteer scanners know what they're doing, each must pass a test where he or she is asked to find the track in a few test samples. To judge the reliability of each volunteer -- and to provide some reward in what for most will be a fruitless search -- the team also plans to throw in some ringers with and without tracks. "We will throw in some calibration images that allow us to measure the volunteers' efficiency," Westphal said. If at least two of the four volunteers viewing each image report a track, that image will be fed to 100 more volunteers for verification. If at least 20 of these report a track, UC Berkeley undergraduates who are expert at spotting dust grain tracks will confirm the identification. Eventually, the grain will be extracted for analysis. Discoverers will get to name their dust

Some of the meteorites discovered are of rare types. The biggest one weighs 901g, according to Dr. Ju Yitai, captain of the team stationed on the Grove Mountains. Meteorite collection is an import mission for the explorers. They aim to increase China's collection of Antarctica meteorites and discover new and special types. Besides, they are also seeking unknown meteorite-intensive areas in the enrichment areas formed through glacier movement and melt. Dr. Ju said meteorite collection is the main task for his team in the first 20 days. With improving weather, most team members have joined the collection apart from other work. In the past couple of days, they picked as many as 30 pieces each day. On Jan. 7, in particular, 70 pieces were found. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Volunteers Sought To Do Web Analysis on Stardust Samples From Home
http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/news/nation/13592454.htm Volunteers sought to do Web analysis on space dust from home Herald Today Glennda Chui January 10, 2006 With millions of dust particles headed our way from space, scientists could use a hand. Make that 60,000 hands, give or take a few. Researchers are asking for volunteers to observe the Stardust capsule as it streaks through the atmosphere early Sunday with its precious cargo of comet dust. Although the resulting fireball could be brighter than Venus and set off a sonic boom as it soars over Nevada and Utah, the view will not be as spectacular from California, said Peter Jenniskens of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, who is organizing the observations. ``The fireball will be relatively low in the sky,'' he said, ``and at the time it reaches peak brightness we'll be seeing it from the rear.'' For the best shot, go to a dark spot with a clear view of the horizon to the north, northwest and northeast. Bring binoculars or a camcorder, and watch the clock: The capsule is scheduled to re-enter the atmosphere at 39 seconds past 1:56 a.m. PST, give or take four seconds. Official observers can register on a Web site. Meanwhile, scientists at the University of California-Berkeley are trying to recruit 30,000 people to help find rare interstellar dust particles in samples from the capsule. Volunteers will use Web-based ``virtual microscopes'' on their home computers to focus up and down through images, looking for tracks left by particles in the fluffy aerogel that was used to collect and cushion them. If they get enough recruits, the job could be finished by late this year, said Andrew Westphal, a researcher at UC-Berkeley. ``This project was born out of desperation,'' he said. Without the Web technology, it would have taken an army of expert microscopists working full-time for years to get the job done. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] 'Mild' Collision Spawned Earth's Moon
http://www.newscientistspace.com/article/dn8550--mild-collision-spawned-earths-moon.html 'Mild' collision spawned Earth's moon Maggie McKee New Scientist 09 January 2006 The collision that spawned the Earth's moon was relatively mild, reveals the longest and most detailed computer simulation ever done of the impact. The research puts limits on the size and velocity of space rocks that can lead to the formation of satellites in cosmic smash-ups. Computer models suggest the Moon formed after an object the size of Mars (just over half the diameter of Earth) crashed into Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. Debris from the impact formed a disc around Earth that eventually coalesced to become the Moon. But modelling the process realistically is extremely difficult, and researchers have tried a variety of approaches. Most have used single particles in the models to represent some larger number of real particles, a method called Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). But the best of these models use just a few thousand particles in the debris disc, and therefore can not reveal detailed disc structures. As a result, the models can only recreate conditions for less than a day after the impact. "Extreme" simulations Now, researchers led by Keiichi Wada at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Tokyo have used another approach to model the disc for about four days. They divided the disc into a three-dimensional grid of boxes - each with its own properties, such as temperature and density - and evolved the boxes over time. They ran two "extreme" simulations - one in which the disc was made mostly of hot gas, and another where it was mostly liquid and solid. Both simulations behaved similarly for the first 10 hours after the initial impact, with the damaged impactor circling back and hitting Earth a second time, when it is destroyed. This accords with SPH models as well, suggesting gravity is the dominant force in the early formation of the disc. But the two models begin to diverge after that. If the impactor vaporises when it is destroyed, spiral shock waves are created that slow down the disc's rotation. This allows the disc material to fall onto the Earth and prevents the formation of a moon. Trouble with models In contrast, if the impactor produces mostly liquid or solid debris, the shocks cannot slow the disc down enough to make it fall to Earth, and the Moon is formed. The researchers suggest that any impact powerful enough to vaporise the impactor would not form a satellite. In the case of the Earth, they estimate the Mars-sized object must have been travelling at less than 15 kilometres per second. In more general terms, they conclude that if an impactor is more than a few times the mass of Earth, then "the giant impact never results in forming a large satellite". Scott Kenyon, an astronomer at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US, says the conclusion is reasonable. "The gaseous disc would most likely collapse faster than a solid or liquid disc," he told New Scientist. But he points out that astronomers have long struggled with modelling the viscosity of gas in rotating discs. He says all models have this problem, but that the 3D grid approach may be more vulnerable to it because the viscosity must be chosen by the researchers, and the value selected could affect the timescale over which the disc falls to Earth.

Re: [meteorite-list] G�ran Lindfors again!!
Tom, I got it as well. He forgot to take his meds. He does this everytime he forgets. For the record, the first name is Urine. Forward his spam back to him. If we all do that everytime, we can at least stuff his mailbox. He won't quit with a polite request. I've tried that.

Just use the killfile that surely all e-mail clients have.

Re: [meteorite-list] Göran Lindfors again!!
Well, I think I'm one of the lucky ones then, the last mail I got from Göran Lindfors said that I was an amateur and that he would never ever again answer my mails. ...boo hooo, how sad I am... :-) If he still uses the tele2 address I suggest that you all mail his ISP and complain to them directly. They have a web page for reporting abuse. It is all in Swedish (stoopid swedes!) but you could also mail them directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] describing the problem in english. If you want to take a shot at the web page, here is short instructions for using the web page: Follow this link: http://www.tele2.se/abuse Click on the "kontaktformulär" (contact form) and a new window will pop up. The first field is for customers of Tele2, leave it empty. Second field "Din e-postadress för ev. återkoppling" (Your email address for possible reply) Fill in your email address. Third field, "Vad gäller ärendet?" (What's the issue?) Select "Spam" or "trakasserier" (harassment) as you feel. Datum is date, the format is year - month - day hour : minute. Fill in some time you got an email. The last field is "Beskriv kortfattat vad du vill anmäla" (Describe shortly what you want to report) Tell them your complaints. English is okay, virtually everyone in Sweden speaks english. Press "Skicka till Abuse" (Send to abuse). Now you get a "Tack för din anmälan" (Thanks for your complaint) Hopefully they will do something about it. Feel free to ask for more help if you need. Good luck! /Göran, no not that one Jan Bartels wrote: Well it seems mr. Moonrock is back!! Anyone else as well these days received his sick offers?
