[meteorite-list] 2011 Meteorite Challenge

2011-10-21 Thread MexicoDoug

Dear List:

2011 Meteorite Challenge

For all those who would like to try their hand at hunting for 
meteorites but can't get out into the field, you're invited to try a 
virtual meteorite hunt in the strewn field of all meteorite names.  The 
prize is a token chip off Vesta - Tatahouine, of course, that beautiful 
witnessed fall which is truly unique among meteorites and the rarest of 
all (more on this later, but now for the hunt...), not expecting it to 
be more than a gram; though it will be either sent to the winner or 
some other friend or budding collector as directed by the champ.  Plus 
the champ receives a conjectured priceless signed certificate naming 
you the champion:


METEORITIC ANAGRAMMATIST

An anagram is simply a rearrangement of the letters of one word to form 
another word.  So, the idea is to hunt for a meteorite and its anagram 
pairing.  For example, with numbers, today is: 10/21 (or 21/10 as you 
please).  Rearranging the numbers we get 2011 in the spirit of Galileo, 
who was a very accomplished anagrammist.


I haven't thought of a meteorite name that is a perfect anagram, nor 
have I tried ... but, here's an idea:


Allende / Yelland

If only it were Eelland they would be a perfect meteorite anagram 
pairing.  In Spanish, Y and E are interchangeable in a certain instance 
;-)


The objective of the contest is simple - get the biggest anagram you 
can find.  Finding one meteorite name in mixed up inside another is ok, 
even though all the letters of only one are paired to the other.  Rule 
of common sense, but in case of difficulty with that:


For a satisfactory effort, here are a few rules:

HONOR SYSTEM - NO USE OF ANAGRAM COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND DOWNLOADING DATA 
FOR THAT PURPOSE THOUGH A SPREADSHEET IS FINE.  I don't know if any 
cheat programs exist, but I imagine they do.


(1)  Minimum of 4 letters
(2) Numbers are not included, but their letters can be used.  For 
example ABCDE ### can be used as simply ABCDE.
(3) Reuse of complete words or components of compound words do not 
count.  For example, Northeast Africa and Northwest Africa have no 
value, nor would meteor and meteorite if they were valid, have any 
value.
(4) The value of the meteorite anagram is simply the number of reused 
letters unless it is a perfect anagram (see (6).
(5) Partial anagrams can be used where only a subset of the letters in 
one meteorite's name is used to form another complete meteorite name.  
For example, Boaz (NM) is a partial from Bou Azarif (Morocco).  The 
score would be the same for Boaz and Zaborzika (Ukraine).
(6) If all letters are used, the score is tripled.  For example, the 
value of (5) above is only 4.  But, if there were a meteorite Zoab to 
pair with Boaz, the value would be 12.
(7) The official dictionary is the Met Soc Online database, only 
official meteorites are permitted.
(8)Dry Lake, Mountain, geographical words common to more than one 
distinct locality may be dropped or used at the option of the 
anagrammatist.  But using entire words or compound word components will 
not increase value.
(9) Lame examples not contemplated by the rules may be disqualified at 
the sole opinion of the sponsor of this (me).
(10) In the case of a tie value, perfect anagrams trump first, if 
neither is perfect, then the submission that shuffles letters more wins.


If there is no clear winning entry, the winner will be the entrant who 
can say METEORITIC ANAGRAMMATIST ten times in the shortest interval of 
time.


GOOD LUCK anyone who would like to have fun with this!

Kindest wishes
Doug

unrelated to the Nebraska/South Dakota fireball.


For the 10-19-11, AMS website has the events at 22:15 for the Fort 
Collins, CO event, and 03:15 for the SD/NE event.


AMS Event # 1180

I have a very bright event from the
camera at the Denver Museum of
Nature and Science. It was at 2011-10-19 02:25:00 MDT, and
right on the
horizon at an azimuth of 58°, nearly as bright as the
Moon. Using a
guess/estimate for height suggests the meteor was over the
Middle of
Nowhere, Nebraska, roughly between Denver and Sioux Falls,
SD.

[meteorite-list] 2011 Meteorite Challenge Update

2011-10-21 Thread MexicoDoug

Dear List Anagrammatists,

There are perfect anagram meteorite pairings out there!  Some real good 
ones!


Though a perfect anagram where the letters of one are rearranged 
exactly into the letters of another withough leaving out any letters on 
either, is not necessarily a winner according to the rules, since 
imperfect anagram pairings are allowed too, though the perfect anagram 
likely will score higher and win anyway!


One very kind list member who is quite expert in anagrams has sent me 
an informational email  (but kindly respected the honor system rule and 
not entered) to prove this fact.


So the last rule is modified,

If there is no clear winning entry, the winner will be the entrant who 
can say METEORITIC ANAGRAMMATIST ten times in the shortest interval of

time.

...no longer is necessary;

and replaced by:

If no one figures out a qualifying winning entry otherwise, the winning 
entry will be considered the cleverist rearrangement of all letters of 
a meteorite name with none left over and none additional, into a word 
or a phrase.  Any language is permissable if any listmember can speak 
it fluidly, even if the entrant can't.


This is how Galileo first communicated his discovery of Saturn with its 
rings (which he thought were three zones of light).  He used Latin.  
There are listmembers with acceptable fluidity in Latin, so that's an 
option, too.


The contest is over on Sunday night 11:59 PM (23:50) PDT (Los Angeles 
time), 23 October 2011

Kindest wishes
Doug

Note that the data I posted from Denver was almost certainly the same as 
the SD/NE event, 2011-10-19 02:25:00 MDT (03:25 CDT), AMS 1180. I didn't 
receive any witness reports for this, presumably because it was so low, 
and the hour was so late.


http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/data.php?recnum=43810

AMS 1183 was widely seen in Colorado at 2011-10-19 22:17:13 MDT (the 
California report is mistakenly tied to this- it could not have been 
seen from there). It was captured on two cameras and its path shows it 
to be an Earth grazing Orionid.


http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/data.php?recnum=43837
http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/data.php?recnum=43883

Things get confusing this time of year, with so many active showers and 
high sporadic activity producing significant fireballs nearly every day. 
It is very important for those logging these events on websites to 
ALWAYS use the date and time, not just the date, when referencing events.

Bonus questions:

What is the only meteorite name to use all the vowels, including y 
(a-e-i-o-u-y), where each vowel is used only once?


There are 8 meteorite names (that I can find) for which all of the 
letters in the name occur in alphabetical order.  The longest has 6 
letters.  What is it?


What are the three meteorite names that are palindromes.

2011-10-21 Thread Michael Gilmer
Hi Doug and List,

Interesting challenge.  And not as easy as it first seemed.  Here are
a few I came up with.  These are not perfect anagrams, but use some or
most of the letters  -

Albareto (1766, Fall, Italy) = Alberta (1949, Fall, Congo)

Al Rais (1957, Fall, Saudi Arabia) = Alais (1806, Fall, France)

Ban Rong Du (1993, Fall, Thailand) = Bandong (1871, Fall, Indonesia)

Bhola (1940, Fall, Bangladesh) = Bholghati (1905, Fall, India)

Cali (2007, Fall, Colombia) = Calivo (1916, Fall, Phillipines)

Chandakapur (1838, Fall, India) = Chandpur (1885, Fall, India)

Ok, it's obvious from my selection that I was going through the falls
in the Met Bulletin, in alphabetical order, and picking the low
hanging fruit.  But even that gave me a headache.  LOL

I'll try some more later.  The Indian falls are pretty easy since the
names share many letters.

Best regards,

MikeG

 An anagram is simply a rearrangement of the letters of one word to form
 another word.  So, the idea is to hunt for a meteorite and its anagram
 pairing.  For example, with numbers, today is: 10/21 (or 21/10 as you
 please).  Rearranging the numbers we get 2011 in the spirit of Galileo,
 who was a very accomplished anagrammist.

 I haven't thought of a meteorite name that is a perfect anagram, nor
 have I tried ... but, here's an idea:

 Allende / Yelland

 If only it were Eelland they would be a perfect meteorite anagram
 pairing.  In Spanish, Y and E are interchangeable in a certain instance
 ;-)

 The objective of the contest is simple - get the biggest anagram you
 can find.  Finding one meteorite name in mixed up inside another is ok,
 even though all the letters of only one are paired to the other.  Rule
 of common sense, but in case of difficulty with that:

Thanks Mike fr the entry, I don't mind if you post to the list or send 
in private, up to you guys ---


If anyone wants to kick in another prize please do!

Note:  Cali (2007, Fall, Colombia) = Calivo (1916, Fall, Phillipines) 
doesn't work according to the rules I think and in any case would come 
under the lame rule, and I'd need to check the Hindi meaning to score  
Chandakapur == Chandpur which might score very low due to compound 
elements in the bnative language; the whole idea is to deactivate 
Google and canned software for an old-fashioned contest, now that Peter 
has put me on cloud 9 with his decision to part with an impossible 
world class specimen.

Hi Doug and List,

Interesting challenge.  And not as easy as it first seemed.  Here are
a few I came up with.  These are not perfect anagrams, but use some or
most of the letters  -

Albareto (1766, Fall, Italy) = Alberta (1949, Fall, Congo)

Al Rais (1957, Fall, Saudi Arabia) = Alais (1806, Fall, France)

Ban Rong Du (1993, Fall, Thailand) = Bandong (1871, Fall, Indonesia)

Bhola (1940, Fall, Bangladesh) = Bholghati (1905, Fall, India)

Cali (2007, Fall, Colombia) = Calivo (1916, Fall, Phillipines)

Chandakapur (1838, Fall, India) = Chandpur (1885, Fall, India)

Ok, it's obvious from my selection that I was going through the falls
in the Met Bulletin, in alphabetical order, and picking the low
hanging fruit.  But even that gave me a headache.  LOL

I'll try some more later.  The Indian falls are pretty easy since the
names share many letters.

Best regards,

MikeG

[meteorite-list] Weekend Meteor Shower (Orionids)

2011-10-21 Thread Ron Baalke

http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/20oct_orionids/

Weekend Meteor Shower
NASA Science News
Oct 20, 2011

Earth is about to pass through a stream of debris from
Halley's comet, source of the annual Orionid meteor shower.  Forecasters
expect more than 15 meteors per hour to fly across the sky on Saturday
morning, Oct. 22nd, when the shower peaks.

Orionids are most easily seen during the dark hours before sunrise.
Twilight Orionids, however, are the most beautiful of all.

Although this isn't the biggest meteor shower of the year, it's
definitely worth waking up for, says Bill Cooke of the NASA Meteoroid
Environment Office. The setting is dynamite.

Orionids are framed by some of the brightest and most beautiful
constellations in the night sky. The meteors emerge from mighty Orion,
the shower's glittering namesake.  From there they streak through Taurus
the Bull, the twins of Gemini, Leo the Lion, and Canis Major--home to
Sirius, the most brilliant star of all.

This year, the Moon and Mars are part of the show.  They'll form two
vertices of a celestial triangle in
the eastern sky on Saturday morning while the shower is most active;
Regulus is the third vertex.  Blue Regulus and red Mars are both
approximately of 1st magnitude, so they are easy to see alongside the
35% crescent Moon.  Many Orionids will be diving through the triangle in
the hours before dawn.

Cooke's team at the Meteoroid Environment Office will be watching for
Orionids that actually hit the Moon.

Cometary debris streams like Halley's are so wide, the whole Earth-Moon
system fits inside. So when there is a meteor shower on Earth, there's
usually one on the Moon, too.  Unlike Earth, however, the Moon has no
atmosphere to intercept meteoroids.  Pieces of debris fall all the way
to the surface and explode where they hit.  Flashes of light caused by
thermal heating of lunar rocks and moondust are so bright, they can
sometimes be seen through backyard-class telescopes.

Since we began our monitoring program in 2005, our group has detected
more than 250 lunar meteors, says Cooke. Some explode with energies
exceeding hundreds of pounds of TNT.

So far, they've seen 15 Orionids hitting the Moon--two in 2007, four in
2008, and nine in 2009, recalls Cooke.  This year they hope to add to
the haul.  About 25% of the Moon's dark terrain will be exposed to
Halley's debris stream, giving the team millions of square miles to scan
for explosions.

Watching meteoroids hit the Moon is a good way to learn about the
structure of comet debris streams and the energy of the particles
therein.  It also allows Cooke and colleagues to calculate risk factors
for astronauts who, someday, will walk on the lunar surface again.

Going outside to watch the Orionids might not be a good idea for a
moonwalker, says Cooke.

But it is a good idea for the rest of us.  Set your alarm for a few
hours before dawn on Saturday morning and enjoy the show.

2011-10-21 Thread Ron Baalke

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html#opportunity

OPPORTUNITY UPDATE:  Opportunity Past 21 Miles of Driving! Will Spend
Winter at Cape York - sols 2745-2750, October 14-19, 2011:

The project has made the decision that Opportunity will winter over on
the north end of Cape York on the rim of Endeavour crater where northern
tilts are favorable for energy production.

On Sol 2746 (Oct. 15, 2011), Opportunity drove 167 feet (51 meters) to
the north/northeast. On Sol 2749 (Oct. 18, 2011), the rover drove
another 167 feet (51 meters) to the northeast. The plan ahead is to
continue to drive toward the north end of Cape York and to capture any
opportunistic in-situ (contact) science alone the way. Light-toned veins
in the rock outcrop, possibly fracture fill, have been seen around Cape
York. If Opportunity encounters one of these veins along the way, a
brief robotic-arm science campaign may be conducted.

As of Sol 2750 (Oct. 19, 2011), solar array energy production was 312
watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.764 and a solar array
dust factor of 0.491.

Total odometry is 21.08 miles (33,931.24 meters, or 33.93 kilometers).

[meteorite-list] ROSAT Nears Re-Entry

2011-10-21 Thread Ron Baalke


Space Weather News for Oct. 21, 2011
http://spaceweather.com

WEEKEND METEOR SHOWER: Today Earth is entering a stream of debris from 
Halley's comet, source of the annual Orionid meteor shower. Forecasters 
expect the shower to peak on Saturday morning, Oct. 22nd, with more than 
15 meteors per hour.  Check http://spaceweather.com for links to a live 
meteor radar, sky maps and observing tips.

MASSIVE SATELLITE NEARS RE-ENTRY: The massive ROSAT X-ray space telescope 
is making its final spiralling orbits around Earth. Most experts agree that 
re-entry will occur during the early hours of Oct. 23rd over a still-unknown 
region of our planet.  Sky watchers report that the descending satellite can 
be as bright as a first magnitude star and it occasionally flares to even 
greater intensity.  For last-chance sightings of ROSAT in your area, please 
check SpaceWeather's online satellite tracker (http://spaceweather.com/flybys) 
or turn your smartphone into a ROSAT tracker: http://simpleflybys.com .

There are 8 meteorite names (that I can find) for which all of the
letters in the name occur in alphabetical order.  The longest has 6
letters.  What is it?

What are the three meteorite names that are palindromes.

Dear List Anagrammatists,

There are perfect anagram meteorite pairings out there!  Some real
good ones!

Though a perfect anagram where the letters of one are rearranged
exactly into the letters of another withough leaving out any letters
on either, is not necessarily a winner according to the rules, since
imperfect anagram pairings are allowed too, though the perfect 

anagram

likely will score higher and win anyway!

One very kind list member who is quite expert in anagrams has sent me
an informational email  (but kindly respected the honor system rule
and not entered) to prove this fact.

So the last rule is modified,

If there is no clear winning entry, the winner will be the entrant
who can say METEORITIC ANAGRAMMATIST ten times in the shortest
interval of
time.

...no longer is necessary;

and replaced by:

If no one figures out a qualifying winning entry otherwise, the
winning entry will be considered the cleverist rearrangement of all
letters of a meteorite name with none left over and none additional,
into a word or a phrase.  Any language is permissable if any
listmember can speak it fluidly, even if the entrant can't.

This is how Galileo first communicated his discovery of Saturn with
its rings (which he thought were three zones of light).  He used
Latin.  There are listmembers with acceptable fluidity in Latin, so
that's an option, too.

The contest is over on Sunday night 11:59 PM (23:50) PDT (Los Angeles
time), 23 October 2011

Dear List:

2011 Meteorite Challenge

For all those who would like to try their hand at hunting for
meteorites but can't get out into the field, you're invited to try a
virtual meteorite hunt in the strewn field of all meteorite names. 

The
prize is a token chip off Vesta - Tatahouine, of course, that 

beautiful
witnessed fall which is truly unique among meteorites and the rarest 

of

all (more on this later, but now for the hunt...), not expecting it to
be more than a gram; though it will be either sent to the winner or
some other friend or budding collector as directed by the champ.  Plus
the champ receives a conjectured priceless signed certificate naming
you the champion:

METEORITIC ANAGRAMMATIST

An anagram is simply a rearrangement of the letters of one word to 

form

another word.  So, the idea is to hunt for a meteorite and its anagram
pairing.  For example, with numbers, today is: 10/21 (or 21/10 as you
please).  Rearranging the numbers we get 2011 in the spirit of 

Galileo,

who was a very accomplished anagrammist.

I haven't thought of a meteorite name that is a perfect anagram, nor
have I tried ... but, here's an idea:

Allende / Yelland

If only it were Eelland they would be a perfect meteorite anagram
pairing.  In Spanish, Y and E are interchangeable in a certain 

instance

;-)

The objective of the contest is simple - get the biggest anagram you
can find.  Finding one meteorite name in mixed up inside another is 

ok,

even though all the letters of only one are paired to the other.  Rule
of common sense, but in case of difficulty with that:

For a satisfactory effort, here are a few rules:

HONOR SYSTEM - NO USE OF ANAGRAM COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND DOWNLOADING 

DATA

FOR THAT PURPOSE THOUGH A SPREADSHEET IS FINE.  I don't know if any
cheat programs exist, but I imagine they do.

(1)  Minimum of 4 letters
(2) Numbers are not included, but their letters can be used.  For
example ABCDE ### can be used as simply ABCDE.
(3) Reuse of complete words or components of compound words do not
count.  For example, Northeast Africa and Northwest Africa have no
value, nor would meteor and meteorite if they

Here is a swell palindrome from the USA:

Wardswell Draw

Hi Doug,


But Otto and Seres would ;-)  That leaves a humdinger maybe from the

Southern Continent for the third one  if it is an approved name ...

The third one is from USA! ;-)

OK, we are clear for the anagram contest to continue ;-)


Hi Rob,

Ziz is not official, it doesn't count in my rules.

But Otto and Seres would ;-)  That leaves a humdinger maybe from the
Southern Continent for the third one  if it is an approved name ...

Jeff:

Besides Sierra County  Superior Valley:

Coyote Mountains
Gascoyne Junction
Gaines County Park
Oktibbeha County

and if you count this:
Phillips County (pallasite)

Which total seven, but the (pallasite) would be lame in my rules.

Kindest wishes
Doug

Hi Jeff,


Double bonus: 7 meteorites, including Sierra County, use all of the
letters A-E-I-O-U-Y.  All are in the United States except for one.
Name it.


I thought of one of U.S. ones right away, only because I found several
of them:  Superior Valley xxx ;-)  --Rob

P.S.  Probably the highest palindromic meteorite in the alphabet is Ziz.

2011-10-21 Thread MexicoDoug
How else could you provide us some of the finest localities to some of 
us crazies, if not by written telepathy?  (really your language 
subroutines need a richer idiom capability, something only you probably 
could pull off in in lunch hour)


Have I ever thanked you in public for such a carbonaceous treasure 
Efremovka some time ago (no, I didn't even mention I received it, 
shamelessly), who else could so well understand devotion to such a 
fantastic dually oxidized reduced beauty!  I am very, very proud of 
this specimen!


Kindest wishes Sergey!
