[meteorite-list] Comet Elenin Poses No Threat to Earth
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-255&cid=release_2011-255 Comet Elenin Poses No Threat to Earth Jet Propulsion Laboratory August 16, 2011 Often, comets are portrayed as harbingers of gloom and doom in movies and on television, but most pose no threat to Earth. Comet Elenin, the latest comet to visit our inner solar system, is no exception. Elenin will pass about 22 million miles (35 million kilometers) from Earth during its closest approach on Oct. 16, 2011. Also known by its astronomical name C/2010 X1, the comet was first detected on Dec. 10, 2010 by Leonid Elenin, an observer in Lyubertsy, Russia, who made the discovery "remotely" using an observatory in New Mexico. At that time, Elenin was about 401 million miles (647 million kilometers) from Earth. Since its discovery, Comet Elenin has as 0 as all comets do - closed the distance to Earth's vicinity as it makes its way closer to perihelion, its closest point to the sun. NASA scientists have taken time over the last several months to answer your questions. Compiled below are the some of the most popular questions, with answers from Don Yeomans of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and David Morrison of the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. Most Popular Questions About Comet Elenin When will Comet Elenin come closest to the Earth and appear the brightest? Comet Elenin should be at its brightest shortly before the time of its closest approach to Earth on Oct. 16, 2011. At its closest point, it will be 22 million miles (35 million kilometers) from us. Will Comet Elenin come close to the Earth or between the Earth and the moon? Comet Elenin will not come closer to Earth than 22 million miles (35 million kilometers). That's more than 90 times the distance to the moon. Can this comet influence us from where it is, or where it will be in the future? Can this celestial object cause shifting of the tides or even tectonic plates here on Earth? There have been incorrect speculations on the Internet that alignments of comet Elenin with other celestial bodies could cause consequences for Earth and external forces could cause comet Elenin to come closer. "Any approximate alignments of comet Elenin with other celestial bodies are meaningless, and the comet will not encounter any dark bodies that could perturb its orbit, nor will it influence us in any way here on Earth," said Don Yeomans, a scientist at NASA JPL. "Comet Elenin will not only be far away, it is also on the small side for comets," said Yeomans. "And comets are not the most densely-packed objects out there. They usually have the density of something akin to loosely packed icy dirt. "So you've got a modest-sized icy dirtball that is getting no closer than 35 million kilometers [about 22 million miles)," said Yeomans. "It will have an immeasurably miniscule influence on our planet. By comparison, my subcompact automobile exerts a greater influence on the ocean's tides than comet Elenin ever will." I've heard about three days of darkness because of Comet Elenin. Will Elenin block out the sun for three days? "As seen from the Earth, comet Elenin will not cross the sun's face," says Yeomans. But even if it could cross the sun, which it can't, astrobiologist David Morrison notes that comet Elenin is about 2-3 miles (3-5 kilometers) wide, while the sun is roughly 865,000 miles (1,392,082 kilometers) across. How could such a small object block the sun, which is such a large object? Let's think about an eclipse of the sun, which happens when the moon appears between the Earth and the sun. The moon is about 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) in diameter, and has the same apparent size as the sun when it is about 250,000 miles (400,000 kilometers) away -- roughly 100 times its own diameter. For a comet with a diameter of about 2-3 miles (3-5 kilometers) to cover the sun it would have to be within 250 miles (400 kilometers), roughly the orbital altitude of the International Space Station. However, as stated above, this comet will come no closer to Earth than 22 million miles. I've heard there is a "brown dwarf" theory about Comet Elenin. Would its mass be enough to pull Comet Honda's trajectory a significant amount? Could this be used to determine the mass of Elenin?* Morrison says that there is no 'brown dwarf theory' of this comet. "A comet is nothing like a brown dwarf. You are correct that the way astronomers measure the mass of one object is by its gravitational effect on another, but comets are far too small to have a measureable influence on anything." If we had a black or brown dwarf in our outer solar system, I guess no one could see it, right? "No, that's not correct," says Morrison. "If we had a brown dwarf star in the outer solar system, we could see it, detect its infrared energy and measure its perturbing effect on other objects. There is no brown dwarf

[meteorite-list] Lyon & Turnbull meteorite auction results!!!
Hello Listers, Hope everyone is doing well. I was able to watch the The Robert Elliott Meteorite Collection: Part II auction I have to say sales were high with some items. I guess in the UK market people can spend some coins. The Michael Jackson interest NWA xxx 559g meteorite sold for £1,100 with the expected value at about Estimate £250-350. Can we say we have some Michael Jackson fans in the house. I was thinking that might be a high of the auction ans so it seems it was. Now I wonder is the Jackson estate has the other half still and what that might be worth on the meteorite market. Now me move onto Nakhla. I think this was also a house favorite with the closing cost at £1,100 for a .228g fragment. After conversion and sellers fee, the expected winner will be paying about 2200 in American dollars. The price you pay for history and aura. Now there were some flops.. Can anyone say cheese.. Well that is what I was told the Moon was made out of when I was a little kid, bit soon after, I was told that astronauts made the moon from rocks. The stories that kids are told, I hope kids these days are smarter and when the parents aren't looking google it. If I had google when I was 4 years old, I would have been smart little kid on my speak n spell. Now back to the flops. Those were Dar al Gani 400. The suggested price for a Moon rock 0.184g was at Estimate: £1600 - 2200. Am I missing something or is that old prices when this stuff was selling like hot cakes? Now we move to closer of the auction. Calcalong Creek. This meteorite can command a pretty penny and was said to sell for around $40,000 a gram. Last time I say some of this sell I think it was a 2mg piece for around $700. As for the Lyon and Turnbull's Calcalong Creek fragment this could be a winner for the winning bidder at a mystery weight. The only thing one could go by was the size, 3mm. The weight could be 3mg to 10mg or more. But I have to say for £300, at the end of the day, a deal was made considering the province and hand written letter and not to mention the fragment could be 10mg or more, and if that's the case, the winner got a steal. All and all, the sales were average to above average and for the market being in a rut, the auction went off with some great buys. Now I just want to know when is the next one is cause this one was nice to watch and see alot of great meteorites slip by.

Re: [meteorite-list] Lyon & Turnbull meteorite auction results!!!
Shawn, This is great but, here in America things are still a bit rough. The recession has hit everybody really hard.. My neighbor got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. Wives are having sex with their husbands because they can't afford batteries. CEO's are now playing miniature golf. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen. A Private Entertainer was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced. I saw a Mormon with only one wife. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them. McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America. Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names. My cousin had an exorcism but couldn't afford to pay for it, and they re-possessed her! A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico . A picture is now only worth 200 words. When Bill and Hillary travel together, they now have to share a room. The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates. Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $14.1 Trillion disappear! And, finally... I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got forwarded to the outsourced call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck. author unknown.

Re: [meteorite-list] Improved dating process upsets timeline of Moon formation
"By making improvements to the standard isotopic techniques, we report here the age of crystallization of FAN 60025 using the 207Pb–206Pb, 147Sm–143Nd and 146Sm–142Nd isotopic systems to be 4,360 ± 3 million years." Hi Paul, interesting research. Would like you or someone to comment, as I can only read the abstract for free. Regarding the crystallization age of "FAN 60025", does that mean they dated only one sample of the ferroan anorthosite? If so, it is a lot of weight to put on only one sample.

Re: [meteorite-list] List
I think there is also a batch of people doing their meteorite thing over on Geoff Notkins Club Space Rock website. GeoZay I think people are migrating over to Facebook.

Re: [meteorite-list] List
I think it's mostly the time of year - vacations, family, back to school, etc... It happens on most of the lists I am on. Personally, I've paid less attention to discussions since all of the controversial and bickering posts we've been having on here. On the bright side, we may only be getting 10 messages on the list but their content is certainly more on topic! As for the potential Ohio fall, anyone heading that direction or are people already out there (which is my guess)? __ 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
