[meteorite-list] New Cometary Phenomenon Greets Approaching Spacecraft (EPOXI - Comet Hartley 2)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-346 New Cometary Phenomenon Greets Approaching Spacecraft Jet Propulsion Laboratory October 21, 2010 Recent observations of comet Hartley 2 have scientists scratching their heads, while they anticipate a flyby of the small, icy world on Nov. 4. A phenomenon was recorded by imagers aboard NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft from Sept. 9 to 17 during pre-planned scientific observations of the comet. These observations, when coupled with expected images during the closest encounter with Hartley 2 on Nov. 4, will become the most detailed look yet at a comet's activity during its pass through the inner-solar system. "On Earth, cyanide is known as a deadly gas. In space it's known as one of the most easily observed ingredients that is always present in a comet," said Mike A'Hearn of the University of Maryland, College Park. A'Hearn is principal of EPOXI, an extended mission that utilizes the already "in flight" Deep Impact spacecraft. "Our observations indicate that cyanide released by the comet increased by a factor of five over an eight-day period in September without any increase in dust emissions," A'Hearn said. "We have never seen this kind of activity in a comet before, and it could affect the quality of observations made by astronomers on the ground." The new phenomenon is very unlike typical cometary outbursts, which have sudden onsets and are usually accompanied by considerable dust. It also seems unrelated to the cyanide jets that are sometimes seen in comets. The EPOXI science team believes that astronomers and interested observers viewing the comet from Earth should be aware of this type of activity when planning observations and interpreting their data. "If observers monitoring Hartley 2 do not take into account this new phenomenon, they could easily get the wrong picture of how the comet is changing as it approaches and recedes from the sun," said A'Hearn. Cyanide is a carbon-based molecule. It is believed that billions of years ago, a bombardment of comets carried cyanide and other building blocks of life to Earth. The name EPOXI itself is a combination of the names for the two extended mission components: the extrasolar planet observations, called Extrasolar Planet Observations and Characterization (EPOCh), and the flyby of comet Hartley 2, called the Deep Impact Extended Investigation (DIXI). The spacecraft will continue to be referred to as "Deep Impact." NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the EPOXI mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The University of Maryland, College Park, is home to the mission's principal investigator, Michael A'Hearn. Drake Deming of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., is the science lead for the mission's extrasolar planet observations. The spacecraft was built for NASA by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. For more information about EPOXI visit http://epoxi.umd.edu/.

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rovers Update: October 13-22, 2010
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit Remains Silent at Troy - sols 2410-2416, October 13-23, 2010: Spirit remains silent at her location on the west side of Home Plate. No communication has been received from the rover since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). The project is listening for Spirit with the Deep Space Network and Mars Odyssey orbiter for autonomous recovery communication from the low-power fault case, and conducting a "Sweep & Beep" strategy to stimulate the rover in the case of a mission clock fault. Improving solar insolation levels should provide an environment for the rover batteries to recharge, with increasing likelihood of hearing from Spirit in the period ahead. Total odometry is unchanged at 7,730.50 meters (4.80 miles). OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Opportunity Past the 15-Mile Mark on Mars - sols 2389-2395, October 13-19, 2010: Opportunity crossed the 24-kilometer (15-mile) odometry mark on her way to Endeavour crater. The rover ended last week with the data backlog which limited activities over the weekend. On Sol 2390 (Oct. 14, 2010), the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer (APXS) was sequenced to collect an atmospheric argon measurement along with light remote sensing. Not until Sol 2393 (Oct. 17, 2010), were onboard data volumes improved so a drive could be sequenced. On that sol, Opportunity drove over 100 meters (328 feet), crossing the 24-kilometer (15 mile) odometry mark. The rover drove again on Sol 2395 (Oct. 19, 2010), again reaching over 100 meters (328 miles). Even though the Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer (Mini-TES) instrument is still under investigation, the Mini-TES elevation mirror continues to be opened to the environment at regular intervals in the chance of catching a wind-induced cleaning event. As of Sol 2395 (Oct. 19, 2010), solar array energy production was 627 watt-hours with a slightly elevated atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.639 and a solar array dust factor of 0.7015. Total odometry is 24,192.63 meters (24.19 kilometers, or 15.03 miles). __ 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] ESA Call For Media: Reacting To Threat of Asteroid Impacts
http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM4RWPOHEG_index_0.html Call for media: reacting to threat of asteroid impacts European Space Agency 20 October 2010 ESA PR 24-2010 = How would the world react to the threat of an asteroid impact? The media are invited to meet top-level experts at ESA's space operations centre in Germany on 29 October to find out more. Journalists are invited to Darmstadt, Germany for a briefing at the end of a workshop on Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) and the dangers they present. The high-level Mission Planning and Operations Group (MPOG) workshop includes astronauts and space scientists. It is the latest in a series organised to report to the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and includes representatives from major space agencies, NASA astronauts, the Secure World Foundation and the Association of Space Explorers. "The workshop series is focusing on plans and recommendations for global coordination and response in the event that an asteroid or other object is found to pose an impact threat to Earth," says workshop coordinator Detlef Koschny from ESA. The three-day meeting is being hosted by ESA at the European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany. Plausible asteroid impact and timing scenarios Participants will review the latest information and findings from asteroid and NEO research worldwide, and receive briefings on activities of the Inter-Agency Debris Coordination Committee and ESA's Space Situational Awareness Preparatory Programme. They will also consider two theoretical but plausible impact scenarios and analyse them in detail in order to identify the best strategy for global response. In addition to senior managers from ESA, NASA, the Russian space agency Roscosmos and numerous national space agencies, participants will include: * Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9 astronaut and Head of ASE's Committee on NEOs * Thomas Jones, NASA astronaut on four Space Shuttle flights and a long-time asteroid impact researcher * Brian Weeden, Technical Advisor at the Secure Word Foundation, researcher in space debris and collision issues and related space policy. * Sergio Camacho, space science researcher, former Director of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs and now Secretary General of the Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology Education for Latin America and the Caribbean. The workshop will define future planning tasks and studies for the Group that will later be merged with findings of other experts to create a final report to the UN committee. Such a report will recommend how to react to an impact threat. Under ESA's Space Situational Awareness Preparatory Programme, Europe is acquiring the capability to watch for objects and natural phenomena that could harm satellites in orbit or facilities on the ground. Media briefing at ESA's operations centre, Friday, 29 October Programme 12:30 Doors open to pre-registered media representatives 13:00 Welcome by Manfred Warhaut, Head of the Mission Operations Dept. and Deputy Head of ESOC 13:05 Overview by Nicolas Bobrinsky, Head of ESA's Space Situational Awareness Preparatory Programme 13:20 Introduction of MPOG participants by Detlef Koschny, ESA NEO expert 13:30 Presentation of findings by MPOG Workshop 14:15 Open Q&A with the media 14:30 Conclusion; further interview opportunities Live webcast 29 October 2010 13:00 - 14:30 CEST The media briefing will be webcast live from ESOC on 29 October, 13:00-14:30 CEST (GMT+2).

Re: [meteorite-list] metachondrite
So by what I have read metachondrites are material that was once chondrite based on tfL what this suggests is you can take condrite material and have it accrete on a large parent body and make meta chondrite. I think it would be material that formed closer to the sun cooling quickly on one side giving it chondritic attributes and o isotopes closer to the tfL.

Re: [meteorite-list] metachondrite
I cant get the abstract to run on my phone so I am still not sure what is meant by metachondrite. Could it be material that cooled too quickly to form chondrules but still retains many of the characteristics undifferentiated chondrules have? I have some pac and acap that have in some places partial spheres which would indicate rapid cooling on at least one side. When you consider the sun side may be realy hot and the shadow side almost absolute zero it kind of makes sence some material would instantly freeze on one side and remain melted on the other. Making a kind of half chondrule. With jagged edges on one side and smooth partial spheer on the other.

Re: [meteorite-list] Unconscious Ideomotor Response Test
ever had a foam cup or plastic bag stick to your hand and refuse to un stick? Ever give sombody a shock by sliding your feet on a carpet? Ever had your hair stand on end before a lightning strike? Would these electromagnetic occurances possibly be ascribed to ideomotor response? Why would it be so hard to believe a person can use an antenna to amplify electromagnetic waves and use the difference they feel to find differences in field strength and locate objects based on the the earths electromagnetic field. Which if I have been reading right is strong enough to supply the whole world with unlimited power if we could harness it? Its not magick or mojo. Its electromagnetic physics. Power companies and people with money have every reason to debunk dowsing. Since the same process if discovered and used could supply unlimeted electricity for free for everyone.not to mention find iron meteorites.
