[meteorite-list] Arizona Meteorite Exhibition the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
Hello everyone, Folks have been asking about events to see at the show this year, but I haven’t seen much mention of the first Arizona Meteorite Exhibition on Jan 30th at the U of A LPL. I’m definitely planning to attend. Here’s a link: http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/calendar/calendar.php?ID=270 So on a related note, I was talking to someone at work about their Christmas break visit to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and it reminded me of something that’s been bothering me for some time. The Desert Museum is outstanding in all aspects, except for the meteorite display. I thought with the upcoming exhibition and Tucson show events, that it would be a good time to suggest some of us get together and volunteer to help the museum set up a more visible and better supplied display of meteorites (most notably Arizona meteorites). And maybe info about the list could be incorporated in the display and help attract more people into the forum. I’d be willing to help out with design/construction and maybe put some specimens on consignment (though I’m sure for every specimen I have there are hundreds more worthy of display). So are there any other “locals” who may have time to help out with something like that?? I'm sure they would welcome such interest in the museum. Mark B.

PLEASE NOTE: the hotel name has changed and the InnSuites is now known as the Hotel Tucson City Center, for some reason. Phone number and address remain the same. I am also pleased to announce that my friend Chris Cokinos, author of the wonderful new meteorite book The Fallen Sky will be doing a book signing and meet-and-greet in our room that same weekend. Details TBA. And FYI: The Tucson gem show is NOT moving to Las Vegas or anywhere else : ) And finally the good news: I-10 highway improvements are finished and all downtown exits are open.

[meteorite-list] NASA's WISE Space Telescope Jettisons Its Cover
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2009-206 NASA's WISE Space Telescope Jettisons Its Cover Jet Propulsion Laboratory December 29, 2009 Engineers and scientists say the maneuver went off without a hitch, and everything is working properly. The mission's first-light images of the sky will be released to the public in about a month, after the telescope has been fully calibrated. The cover floated away as we planned, said William Irace, the mission's project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Our detectors are soaking up starlight for the first time. WISE will perform the most detailed infrared survey of the entire sky to date. Its millions of images will expose the dark side of the cosmos -- objects, such as asteroids, stars and galaxies, that are too cool or dusty to be seen with visible light. The telescope will survey the sky one-and-a-half times in nine months, ending its primary mission when the coolant it needs to see infrared light evaporates away. WISE launched on Dec. 14 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Once it was thoroughly checked out in space, it was ready to flip its lid. The cover served as the top to a Thermos-like bottle that chilled the instrument -- a 40-centimeter (16-inch) telescope and four infrared detector arrays with one million pixels each. The instrument must be maintained at frosty temperatures, as cold as below 8 Kelvin (minus 447 degrees Fahrenheit), to prevent it from picking up its own heat, or infrared, glow. The cover kept everything cool on the ground by sealing a vacuum space into the instrument chamber. In the same way that Thermos bottles use thin vacuum layers to keep your coffee warm or iced tea cold, the vacuum space inside WISE stopped heat from getting in. Now, space itself will provide the instrument with an even better vacuum than before. The cover also protected the instrument from stray sunlight and extra heat during launch. At about 2:30 p.m. PST (5:30 p.m. EST), Dec. 29, engineers sent a command to fire pyrotechnic devices that released nuts holding the cover in place. Three springs were then free to push the cover away and into an orbit closer to Earth than that of the spacecraft. Scientists and engineers are now busy adjusting the rate of the spacecraft to match the rate of a scanning mirror. To take still images on the sky as it orbits around Earth, WISE will use a scan mirror to counteract its motion. Light from the moving telescope's primary mirror will be focused onto the scan mirror, which will move in the opposite direction at the same rate. This allows the mission to take freeze-frame snapshots of the sky every 11 seconds. That's about 7,500 images a day. It's wonderful to end the year with open WISE eyes, said Peter Eisenhardt, the mission's project scientist at JPL. Now we can synch WISE up to our scan mirror and get on with the business of exploring the infrared universe. WISE is scheduled to begin its survey of the infrared heavens in mid-January of 2010. JPL manages the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The principal investigator, Edward Wright, is at UCLA. The mission was competitively selected under NASA's Explorers Program managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. The science instrument was built by the Space Dynamics Laboratory, Logan, Utah, and the spacecraft was built by Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. Science operations and data processing take place at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

Solid Core? Rocky Core? Blue Cheese!? To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 9:02 PM OK, A friend and I were watching a show on Discovery or NatGeo a couple months back. The program I think was about asteroids, and impacts, perhaps even How the Earth Was Made or another program. Don't really remember The point is during the show they said very matter-of-factly on three separate occasions that the Earth's core was made of three different materials. One scientist (or narrator I don't remember) said Earth had a rocky core. Which we laughed at of course because we all know that the Earth's core is Solid iron right? Then another scientist confirmed our knowledge and stated what we already knew. The Earth core is made of SOLID iron. Of course we said! Now that's right... Then not 10 minutes more into the show another person stated that the Earth had a molten iron core. To make matters even more confusing the show went on to say that the SOLID iron core was surrounded by molten iron with lighter rocky materials floating out beyond that OK... sounded good at the time, but My question is simple. Which is it? Molten? Solid Iron? or Solid iron surrounded by molten iron. And if it's the latter how is this possible? Wouldn't the solid iron core NOT be solid if it were sitting in the middle of a molten lake of iron? Does the core cool faster than the surrounding material, and if so how is this possible considering this the logic that says an object cools from the outside in. Now, I'd like to stop there but I just read an interesting article on National Geographic's website titled North Magnetic Pole Moving East Due to Core Flux here: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/12/091224-north-pole-magnetic-russia-earth-core.html At the end of the article it flatly states: ...Wandering Pole - Geologists think Earth has a magnetic field because the core is made up of a solid iron center surrounded by rapidly spinning liquid metal. This creates a dynamo that drives our magnetic field. Scientists had long suspected that, since the molten core is constantly moving, changes in its magnetism might be affecting the surface location of magnetic north I don't know about you, but this confuses me just a little bit... Can anyone please clear this up for me? And perhaps the rest of the world? ;) Regards, Eric Wichman Meteorites USA __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Lunar for $200/g
I am not going to make any comment on wither it is genuine or not but for purposes of this email I will assume that it is genuine. Assuming its genuine $50 for shipping (Fed Ex?) dont sound excessive. I couldent ship anything from here fed ex for $50 for example. Note also that seller doesnt appear to be very ebay savvy and probably could use a tutorial on using ebay. He has the whole 256 gram meteorite started at $200 but from his description it is obvious that he wants $200 a gram (Actually a starting price of over $50,000) but he has actually started the auction at $200 for the whole thing (Ebay rules wont let you list it the way he wants to). Somebody (Aziz in morocco maybe) might want to help the poor guy out and explain to him how to list things the way that he wants to on ebay.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD- Ash Creek House hitter Entire HAMMER STONE
Greetings all, I now own the only House Hitter hammer stone from the Ash Creek fall. If you recall, there were two grave yard stones, One damn stone, one barn stone and one house stone. ( The barn stone was coupled with the stone that fell at the feet of the barn owner who at first thought his girlfriend Was teasing him by tossing a rock near him - The two stones Which together totaled about 51grams, sold in an ad hoc auction by phone. The Winning bidder paid $4,600 for the two. The seller Would not sell either separately). While I certainly would love to keep this entire house hitter, My finances demand I sell it. I could make more cutting it up, but it is one of the more impressive specimens I have seen and Will be heartbroken if I have to slice and dice this beauty. Note The embedded grit of the roof shingle on the face of the stone. It is 124 gr. See it here from 4 different angles: http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/Conglomerate.jpg Serious offers only, please.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Fall Or Not?
Just this... Alastair McBeath, Director of the SPA's Meteor Section, has provided the following update (26th December 2009): Sightings of the spectacular daylight fireball on December 19 have been received from places in Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire so far, though as many witnesses were on the road at the time, few people managed to give sufficient information to allow a reasonable trajectory for the event to be estimated. The fireball was probably high above the North Sea off eastern England and perhaps partly over northeastern East Anglia too. Of those observers who were able to suggest a sky-path for the meteor, two described it as possibly angled somewhere between south-north to southeast-northwest, but four others indicated it more likely lay between north-south to northwest-southeast instead, and at present it is not clear which is the more probable. It seems to have remained visible for about 3 to 3.5 seconds from the majority of estimates, and was almost certainly well in excess of full Moon brilliance at its brightest to be seen so widely in the near-noon daytim e. Various colours were suggested by different witnesses, always a subjective topic anyway, but most (five people) favoured a very bright silvery white, while one each preferred yellow, orange-yellow or red-yellow for the main fireball. One witness spotted some slight fragmentation very late in the flight, but two other people saw none at all (this can sometimes depend on the angle from which the meteor's path is viewed). One observer in north Norfolk, plausibly the person closest to the possible trajectory, suggested a faint simultaneous sound may have occurred as the fireball flared to its near-terminal maximum brightness. The General Chat Forum has a topic featuring some of the initial notices and subsequent discussion regarding this fireball, including links to some online media coverage (but sadly no images) Promising but very near the coast so could well be in the North Sea again...unless we can pin down some more accurate observations to show the trajectory...or somebody reports a hole in their roof/car/dog/raindeer!!!
