[meteorite-list] AD: NEW METEORITE FROM NEW MEXICO-LA LUZ and 40% off on select Items ....
Hello, Take a look at my latest meteorite recovery- LA LUZ, New Mexico. The LA LUZ Meteorite. While searching for arrowheads, one stone meteorite weighing 4.798kg was found by Ronnie Nowell, near La Luz, New Mexico in 2007. This meteorite has been classified by The University of New Mexico as an H4 Chondrite, with a Shock Stage of S2 and a Weathering Grade of W3. Most of this meteorite material is remaining in the main mass and Only about 600 grams are being released to the collecting community. One of the researchers had this to say about the La Luz Meteorite: "The sample is composed of ~50% well-defined chondrules set in a clastic matrix of silicates and opaques. Chondrules mostly range in size from 50 to 400 mm; rare chondrules are 600 mm to 1 mm in diameter. Olivine is the most common mafic silicate in the sample but some low-Ca pyroxene is also present. Several types of chondrules are present including barred olivine, porphyritic olivine, radial pyroxene, and compound. In plane polarized light the entire section is stained brownish-red. Oxidation is mostly in veins and matrix but silicates also have a reddish staining. Few metal grains are visible in reflected light. Most olivine grains exhibit sharp optical extinction, but a few show undulatory extinction." UNM Also, I am having a 40% off sale on select items in my ebay store.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fourth Dwarf Planet Named Makemake
This is the first time, as far as I can tell, that an IAU press release actually says that plutoids are a subset of dwarf planets. If you ask the right people (and refer back to the original defining of dwarf planets), in the IAU resolution, it states that: "An IAU process will be established to select a name for this category. They did this with the creation of plutoids, but never referred back to the original resolution, and never actually said that plutoids were transneptunian dwarf planets. Now, this is officially stated. However, when the term plutoid was announced, it stated that ALL objects brighter than a certain level (implying size) were to be defined as plutoids, and that implies there are about 40 other known plutoids, not just 4. Are they backing down on this until they have more information on these other objects?

[meteorite-list] NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander Works Through the Night
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/phoenix/release.php?ArticleID=1796 NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander Works Through the Night Jet Propulsion Laboratory July 21, 2008 TUCSON, Ariz. -- To coordinate with observations made by an orbiter flying repeatedly overhead, NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander is working a schedule Monday that includes staying awake all night for the first time. Phoenix is using its weather station, stereo camera and conductivity probe to monitor changes in the lower atmosphere and ground surface at the same time NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter studies the atmosphere and ground from above. The lander's fork-like thermal and conductivity probe was inserted into the soil Sunday for more than 24 hours of measurements coordinated with the atmosphere observations. One goal is to watch for time-of-day changes such as whether some water alters from ice phase to vapor phase and enters the atmosphere from the soil. "We are looking for patterns of movement and phase change," said Michael Hecht, lead scientist for Phoenix's Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer, which includes the conductivity probe. "The probe is working great. We see some changes in soil electrical properties, which may be related to water, but we're still chewing on the data." The extended work shift for the lander began Sunday afternoon Pacific Time. In Mars time at the landing site, it lasts from the morning of Phoenix's 55th Martian day, or sol, to the afternoon of its 56th sol. The Phoenix team's plans for Sol 56 also include commanding the lander to conduct additional testing of the techniques for collecting a sample of icy soil. When the team is confident about the collecting method, it plans to use Phoenix's robotic arm to deliver an icy sample to an oven of the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA). The TEGA instrument successfully opened both doors Saturday for the oven chosen to get the first icy sample. Images from the Surface Stereo Camera confirmed that the doors are wide open. The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of the University of Arizona with project management at JPL and development partnership at Lockheed Martin, Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

[meteorite-list] Fourth Dwarf Planet Named Makemake
International Astronomical Union Paris, France For more information, please contact: Dr. Edward L.G. Bowell IAU Division III President Lowell Observatory, USA Tel: +1-928-774-3358 Mike Brown Professor of Planetary Astronomy California Institute of Technology Phone: +1-626-395-8423 Lars Lindberg Christensen IAU Press Officer ESA/Hubble, Garching, Germany Phone: +49-89-32-00-63-06 Jul 19, 2008 News Release: IAU0806 Fourth dwarf planet named Makemake The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has given the name Makemake to the newest member of the family of dwarf planets -- the object formerly known as 2005 FY9 -- after the Polynesian creator of humanity and the god of fertility. Members of the International Astronomical Union's Committee on Small Body Nomenclature (CSBN) and the IAU Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) have decided to name the newest member of the plutoid family Makemake, and have classified it as the fourth dwarf planet in our Solar System and the third plutoid. Makemake (pronounced MAH-keh MAH-keh) is one of the largest objects known in the outer Solar System and is just slightly smaller and dimmer than Pluto, its fellow plutoid. The dwarf planet is reddish in colour and astronomers believe the surface is covered by a layer of frozen methane. Like other plutoids, Makemake is located in a region beyond Neptune that is populated with small Solar System bodies (often referred to as the transneptunian region). The object was discovered in 2005 by a team from the California Institute of Technology led by Mike Brown and was previously known as 2005 FY9 (or unofficially "Easterbunny"). It has the IAU Minor Planet Center designation (136472). Once the orbit of a small Solar System body or candidate dwarf planet is well determined, its provisional designation (2005 FY9 in the case of Makemake) is superseded by its permanent numerical designation (136472) in the case of Makemake. The discoverer of a Solar System object has the privilege of suggesting a name to the IAU, which judges its suitability. Mike Brown says: "We consider the naming of objects in the Solar System very carefully. Makemake's surface is covered with large amounts of almost pure methane ice, which is scientifically fascinating, but really not easily relatable to terrestrial mythology. Suddenly, it dawned on me: the island of Rapa Nui. Why hadn't I thought of this before? I wasn't familiar with the mythology of the island so I had to look it up, and I found Makemake, the chief god, the creator of humanity, and the god of fertility. I am partial to fertility gods. Eris, Makemake, and 2003 EL61 were all discovered as my wife was 3-6 months pregnant with our daughter. I have the distinct memory of feeling this fertile abundance pouring out of the entire Universe. Makemake was part of that." WGPSN and CSBN accepted the name Makemake during discussions conducted per email. Makemake holds an important place in the Solar System because it, along with Eris and 2003 EL61, was one of the objects whose discovery prompted the IAU to reconsider the definition of a planet and to create the new group of dwarf planets. Visually, it is the second brightest transneptunian object, following after Pluto, and is bright enough to be seen through a high-end amateur telescope (a peak magnitude of roughly 16.5). Mike Brown explains: "The orbit is not particularly strange, but the object itself is big. Probably about 2/3 the size of Pluto." The other three dwarf planets are Ceres, Pluto and Eris. However, Ceres is not a member of the distinctive plutoid group because its orbit is smaller than Neptune's (Ceres is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter). The word Makemake is Polynesian in origin and is the name of the creator of humanity and the god of fertility in the mythology of the South Pacific island of Rapa Nui or the Easter Island. He was the chief god of the Tangata manu bird-man cult and was worshiped in the form of sea birds, which were his incarnation. His material symbol was a man with a bird's head. Notes The IAU is the international astronomical organisation that brings together almost 10,000 distinguished astronomers from all nations of the world. Its mission is to promote and safeguard the science of astronomy in all its aspects through international cooperation. The IAU also serves as the internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and the surface features on them. Founded in 1919, the IAU is the world's largest professional body for astronomers.

Re: [meteorite-list] William Barriere - Youth of Canada be warned!
Hehe, Nick, Good that you haven't clicked through the whole story. Such a style of propaganda I saw the last time in Romania, where a Christian sect distributed comic booklets, of really rude contents. (Family the same, Mother Father Sun Daughter Dog). Hehe, anti-propaganda, I just finished the plot for the next adventure. Marie-Noelle and Thomas accompany docteure Julia on an expedition to desert. They are captured by terrorists but are affranchised by the intrepid Pelican brothers and their funny cook Amoroso. Altogether they continue the travel and meet two rachitic nomad children, who have found a meteorite each. Julia explains to the children, how important their recovery would be and that she immediately have start to cry, if they wouldn't hand over the stones to her. The children are dismayed, hand over the stones and for making Julia smiling again, they show them the way to a mysterious treasure cave. The Pelicans roll the rock, blocking the entrance, aside Inside mountains of meteorites are hoarded Three 200 years old Guardians with long beards raise their heads. Their names are Logan, Ward, Nininger. Thomas and Amoroso manage to slay the guardians, Julia organizes the transport of the stones, and promises to the nomad children, that their names will be eternalized on a label on a showcase in the Museum. And happily they return to Canada. Epilog. - Marie-Noelle and Thomas, who had quit school to accompany docteure Julia in the name of science, have to hire out as cleaning personnel in the private collection of heartless William Barriere. - Docteure Julia wins the Nobel prize, cause she had discovered some Martian fossils in the stones of the nomad children. - A messenger delivers a photo of the plate with the names of the children in the museum to their mother, who is now happy again. (as the children died a while ago, cause they couldn't afford medication). -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 21.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re-2: Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - July 19, 2008
Hi Bernd Yes I saw both of those abstracts. Unfortunately abstracts carry almost no weight as they are not peer reviewed. So the most correct classification based on the original work would be a Eucrite. Though ultimately I would strongly suspect they are correct and in the future it will be Eucrite anom. In any case it is not a achondrite anom. -- Mike -- Mike Jensen Jensen Meteorites 16730 E Ada PL Aurora, CO 80017-3137 303-337-4361 IMCA 4264 website: www.jensenmeteorites.com On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 6:17 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Fabrice, Mike and List, > > > Mike wrote: "The text list this stone as a ACHANOM or achondrite anomalous. > But if you look it up in the MB database it is listed as a Eucrite ...

Re: [meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - July 19, 2008
Hi Michael and list The text list this stone as a ACHANOM or achondrite anomalous. But if you look it up in the MB database it is listed as a Eucrite. http://tinyurl.com/5f4hxy According to several papers that were reference it has always been classified a Eucrite. If a change in classification has been suggested then a supporting scientific paper should be referenced. I only point this out as once outdated or incorrect information makes it onto the web it is very hard to correct it. Besides it only takes a minute to look it up in the database. I also would like to point out that if the ACHANOM is the new correct classification then a more accepted terminology is Achondrite ungrouped. Anomolous is for meteorites that closely fit into to recognized chemical groups but do have one or more points that are outside the norm. So you could have Eucrite anom or IIAB anom or H5 anom etc but you cannot have iron anom or stone anom or chondrite anom etc. The latter should be ungrouped. Right now for instance there are almost 100 ungrouped iron meteorites. Someday they will be placed into a new group but of course at least 6 are needed to make up a new group. The 100 ungrouped irons should not be confused with over 75 irons which have not been classified. They are just listed as irons but could and maybe should be listed as iron-unclassified.

For less, make it smaller. You don't need to keep the separation to the distance between your eyes. Once you have the photos, you have lot's of choices of what to do with them.
