[meteorite-list] More on radar images of Lorton, VA fall on MLK
Hi Rob, Which website are you getting these radar cycles from? Shawn __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Link to NCDC radar archive
Hi Shawn, You can download the archive radar data from NCDC: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/nexradinv/ But you will need an imager (e.g. NOAA's Weather and Climate Toolkit) to decompress and load the V03.gz data. Also, I've been having trouble for the last hour or so getting additional data out of NCDC. Site has been very slow all night, and seems to be experiencing technical difficulties. --Rob __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Men invite, and thanks
Yes, Mark, it was a great party. It was good to see everyone there! And it was clear! Hope to see everyone at the Lunar Lab exhibit on Saturday January 30. Larry in Tucson Hello List, Great show, great party! Thanks Geoff and everyone who helped make it possible. I hope I can make it next week for the Meteorite Men party. I was a pleasure visiting with everyone tonight. Now I'm even more excited that the show is just around the corner, and the first comprehensive AZ meteorites exhibition! It's going to be an exciting show this year - I look forward to visiting with everyone some more. Mark B Vail, AZ -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of meteorh...@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 3:04 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Men invite, and thanks Hey List, It is with great pleasure that I invite all of you to sit down tonight and to take a journey to Canada with Geoff Notkin and myself on Science Channel (9pm Eastern) on our first episode of our first season of Meteorite Men the Series. I haven't seen the episode myself yet, but some of our friends in the production office have, and it promises to be a fun adventure and (don't tell anyone I said this, but) we do find some meteorites in this episode. Geoff and I are keenly aware that this TV series might be the best opportunity for the meteorite collecting community to put our best foot forward and show the world a glimpse into what makes our passion of collecting so exciting. Of course we have to mix the geeky science with a little humor and drama, or people won't stick around for the end of the show, and won't come back next week. I want to give a HUGE amount of credit to our LMNO Productions team. We have had over 95 people working on this show on the production side, not to mention the hundreds of people working over on the Science Channel and Discovery Network to make this happen. Millions of dollars have been invested to bring this episode to air, and it is very humbling realizing that while Geoff and I have our faces on screen, NONE of this would be possible without the team behind the scenes. And, I would be remiss to not take the time to thank ALL of you that have supported me over the last 18 years when I have tried to eek out a living in this crazy business. If it weren't for the scientists who study these rocks, if it weren't for the collecting customers that buy a piece here and a slice there from me, tonight would never have become a reality. I have to give a huge shout out to Blaine Reed who was my one and only customer for the first 6 years of my meteorite career. In a business of buy low and sell high, somehow, Blaine had a philosophy of How much can I afford to pay Steve for what he brings me? as opposed to How cheap can I get these rocks from Steve? Blaine, if it weren't for you buddy, I would have been out of this business before I even got into it. I owe you a big Margarita at the Birthday Bash, and every Birthday Bash from here on out. In fact, anyone who likes this show tonight, buy Blaine a drink before you offer me one, ok? Of course kudos have to go out to THE Meteorite Man Bob Haag, who blazed a trail through a jungle that we all are enjoying the fruits of now. Harvey Nininger, Oscar Monnig, Glen Huss, H.O. Stockwell, just to name a few, are pillars that hold the roof over all of our heads now. I have to thank my amazing wife, Qynne, and the two greatest daughters a guy could ever hope to have, Lauren and Kelsey who have shared me and my time with this calling. A big thanks goes out to Phil Mani who on a gut feeling supported the Brenham adventure a few years back, which was one domino in the series to fall that led to all of this. There is a huge amount of credit and thanks that needs to be extended to the 8n8 crew that inadvertently journeyed with me to the Alpha site several years back which ended up being in our pilot episode. All of you guys are getting your financial return on the project, but also know from me that you guys also deserve a monster sized Thank You. You are appreciated more than you will ever know. And personally, I have to give the greatest amount of credit to my hunting partner Geoff Notkin. If it weren't for Geoff's talents and true gentlemanly qualities, none of this, and I mean NONE of this would have happened. For some reason, one guy hunting rocks on TV is not enough to make anyone take a second look. And even two guys hunting for space rocks is not enough either. Geoff's ability to articulate WHY these amazing visitors from space are so special adds an element that I don't think anyone else in the meteorite world could have been able to do. Of course there are others
Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Men
Geoff Steve, Show kicked ass! I was FINALLY able to find it after going through HUNDREDS of channels - Believe it is Ch 788 on Cox. Fortunately, they were showing it several times, so, I got The whole thing AND transferred it to DVD so I can see It whenever I want. Even Angel was enthused and impressed. Anyway, you guys are doing a good thing for meteoritics in a VERY cool way. Again, CONGRATS! Michael On 1/20/10 7:36 PM, Arlene Schlazer pieb...@cox.net wrote: Meteorite Men rock!

Right on Larry, they had a 10 dob on the patio and lot's of folks were treated to a nice view of the moon, and low power looks at Mars. Great venue! I think I'm tied up next week because I have secretarial duties at an annual business meeting (but hoping I'm wrong - or able to come late).

[meteorite-list] Ad:Buzzard Coulee with Canadian Export Permit
Hello List, I really enjoy all your posts. Can't wait to meet,talk and trade with many of you in Tucson. I have just received 15 approved Buzzard Coulee Canadian Export Permits from 15 export applications. Not bad and just in time for the Tucson Show. I submitted a separate application for each meteorite so that every stone will come with its original Canadian Export Permit and not a copy. I've listed one of them a nice 4.3 gram crusted individual on ebay. It's starting at .99 cents and if your going to be at the Tucson Show between Jan 29-Feb 15 free hand delivered shipping could be arranged. Sorry for not providing the ebay auction link but for some unknown reason to me every time I attach the link my message wont post on the list. Not hard to find though it's the only Buzzard Coulee on ebay as of current.

[meteorite-list] Rover Gives NASA an 'Opportunity' to View Interior of Mars
Jan. 21, 2010 Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 dwayne.c.br...@nasa.gov Guy Webster Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. 818-354-6278 guy.webs...@jpl.nasa.gov MEDIA ADVISORY: 10-016 ROVER GIVES NASA AN OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW INTERIOR OF MARS PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Mars exploration rover Opportunity is allowing scientists to get a glimpse deep inside Mars. Perched on a rippled Martian plain, a dark rock not much bigger than a basketball was the target of interest for Opportunity during the past two months. Dubbed Marquette Island, the rock is providing a better understanding of the mineral and chemical makeup of the Martian interior. Marquette Island is different in composition and character from any known rock on Mars or meteorite from Mars, said Steve Squyres of Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. Squyres is principal investigator for Opportunity and its twin, Spirit. It is one of the coolest things Opportunity has found in a very long time. During six years of roving, Opportunity has found only one other rock of comparable size that scientists conclude was ejected from a distant crater. The rover studied the first such rock during its initial three-month mission. Called Bounce Rock, that rock closely matched the composition of a meteorite from Mars found on Earth. Marquette Island is a coarse-grained rock with a basalt composition. The coarseness indicates it cooled slowly from molten rock, allowing crystals time to grow. This composition suggests to geologists that it originated deep in the crust, not at the surface where it would cool quicker and have finer-grained texture. It is from deep in the crust and someplace far away on Mars, though exactly how deep and how far we can't yet estimate, said Squyres. The composition of Marquette Island, as well as its texture, distinguishes it from other Martian basalt rocks that rovers and landers have examined. Scientists first thought the rock could be another in a series of meteorites that Opportunity has found. However, a much lower nickel content in Marquette Island indicates a Martian origin. The rock's interior contains more magnesium than in typical Martian basalt rocks Spirit has studied. Researchers are determining whether it might represent the precursor rock altered long ago by sulfuric acid to become the sulfate-rich sandstone bedrock that blankets the region of Mars that Opportunity is exploring. It's like having a fragment from another landing site, said Ralf Gellert of the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada. Gellert is lead scientist for the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer on Opportunity's robotic arm. With analysis at an early stage, we're still working on some riddles about this rock. The rover team used Opportunity's rock abrasion tool to grind away some of Marquette Island's weathered surface and expose the interior. This was the 38th rock target Opportunity has ground into, and one of the hardest. The tool was designed to grind into one Martian rock, and this rock may not be its last. We took a conservative approach on our target depth for this grind to ensure we will have enough of the bit left to grind the next hard rock that Opportunity comes across, said Joanna Cohen of Honeybee Robotics Spacecraft Mechanisms Corp., in New York, which built and operates the tool. Opportunity currently is about 30 percent of the way on a 12-mile trek begun in mid-2008 from a crater it studied for two years. It is en route toward a much larger crater, Endeavour. The rover traveled 3.3 miles in 2009, farther than in any other year on Mars. Opportunity drove away from Marquette Island on Jan. 12. We're on the road again, said Mike Seibert, a rover mission manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. The year ahead will include lots more driving, if all goes well. We'll keep pushing for Endeavour crater but watch for interesting targets along the way where we can stop and smell the roses. Since landing on Mars in 2004, Opportunity has made numerous scientific discoveries, including the first mineralogical evidence that Mars had liquid water. After working 24 times longer than originally planned, Opportunity has driven more than 11 miles and returned more than 133,000 images.

[meteorite-list] Question re asteroids' near-earth encounters
So on the surfaces of these rubble piles, rocks are shaken and turned over, to reveal a fresh, unweathered surface underneath. Question: Is it possible when these rubble piles (asteroids) are shaken by the near-earth encounter that dust/debris could escape from the asteroid and fall eventually to earth? __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Lorton Meteorite
Hello List I saw this video on youtube and the Lorton Meteorite is the 4th Meteorite to fall in VA in the past 100 hundred years. The main mass so far is 308g and it has been noted that its a Chondrite meteorite. I wish I had a car because I live in NYC if I did I would be out in Lorton in a hot minute looking around for other pieces from the Lorton meteorite with the experts. Here is the link to the video I saw on youtube.
