Re: [meteorite-list] Fully Documented Hammer?

2011-12-23 Thread Steve Witt
Anita and List,

(Sorry if this posts twice).

Here's a link to some photos of the Benld, Il meteorite that I took while at 
the Field Museum in Chicago a few years ago. I think it meets all of 
your criteria.


http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevewitt/sets/72157628543826203/detail/

Link to the Met Bulletin for Benld:

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?sea=Benld&sfor=names&ants=&falls=&valids=&stype=contains&lrec=50&map=ge&browse=&country=All&srt=name&categ=All&mblist=All&rect=&phot=&snew=0&pnt=Normal%20table&code=5021

Also, the famous "Garza stone" from Park Forest was purchased together with a 
section of the roof that it penetrated, the shattered boards from the 
attic, the hole in the bedroom ceiling, the window, shades and window 
frames that it hit as well as the bedroom closet door (mirror) that it 
smashed. I don't know who now has possession of these items.

Best,
Steve

Does anyone know about how many hammers have been fully documented that have in 
one place/collection:

1.  The whole meteorite (or all the pieces)
2.  All of the material it hit (shingle, wood, plaster, floor, car, etc.)
3.  The date/time if witnessed
4.  The classification

I'm guessing there are only about 4-5 cases worldwide, but I may way off. (I've 
been accused of that before.)

Thanks for your help,

Re: [meteorite-list] Fully Documented Hammer?

2011-12-23 Thread Galactic Stone & Ironworks
Hi Anita and List,

It makes sense that the most recent hammers should be the best
documented falls because of the proliferation of digital devices with
cameras.  There is also increased awareness of meteorite falls in more
recent years, so we are seeing very solid documentation for hammers.
A good example is Park Forest.  Nobody can begin question the hammer
status of Park Forest, because so many targets were struck.  So, I'd
take it at face value that all of the known hammers in the last ~10
years are authentic.

Since the year 2000, we have had the following hammer falls -

Apr 30, 2011 - Soltmany (L6 chondrite) : Poland
Jul 17, 2011 - Thika (L6 chondrite) : Kenya
Jul 11-12, 2011 - "Draveil/Essonne?" (unofficial) - (H chondrite?) : France
Jan 18, 2010 - Lorton (L6 chondrite) : Virginia USA
Apr 14, 2010 - Mifflin (L5 chondrite) : Wisconsin USA
Feb 15, 2009 - Ash Creek (L6 chondrite) : Texas USA
Mar 01, 2009 - "Cartersville" (unofficial) (ordinary chondrite) : Georgia USA
Sep 25, 2009 - Grimsby (H5 chondrite) : Canada
Apr 12, 2008 - "Zunhua" (unofficial) (L4 chondrite?) : China
Feb 21, 2007 - Mahadevpur (H4/5 chondrite) : India
Jul 06, 2007 - Cali (H/L4 chondrite) : Columbia
Sep ??, 2007 - (exact day unknown) - Guadalajara (L or LL3 chondrite?) : Mexico
Jul 14, 2006 - Moss (CO3.6 carbonaceous chondrite) : Norway
Jul 17, 2005 - "Montney" (H6 chondrite?) : Canada
Nov 08, 2004 - Orlando (Eucrite) : Florida USA
Feb 01, 2003 - Hiroshima (H5 chondrite) : Japan
Mar 26, 2003 - Park Forest (L5 chondrite) : Illinois USA
Sep 23, 2003 - New Orleans (H5 chondrite) : Louisiana USA
Feb 03-14 2002 - Alby sur Cheran (Eucrite) : France
Feb 20, 2002 - San Michele (L6 chondrite) : Italy
Jul 21, 2002 - Thuathe (H4/5 chondrite) : Lesotho

That is a total of 21 hammer falls in almost 11 years now - or about 2
per year on average.  This year we have been a perfect 3 for 3 on
recovered hammered falls.  So we are seeing one of two things - a
statistical increase of hammer falls (due in part to the proliferation
of digital cameras), or Mother Nature has improved her accuracy.  You
can also figure that the human population and footprint increases each
year, so the more of us walking around, the more likely we'll
something get hit or be struck by something.  It another century, the
majority of falls over dry land will likely be hammers.

The number of well documented falls drops off sharply in the previous
century and most falls from antiquity can be considered anecdotal.

The number of well documented hammers prior to the 21st century may be
less than the number of hammers we have seen in the last 11 years.
Think about that for a moment

Best regards and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Happy Saturnalia.  :)

MikeG

Re: [meteorite-list] Fully Documented Hammer?

2011-12-23 Thread Frank Cressy
Hi Anita,

I can't speak for falls outside the US, but there are 5 or 6 US falls that 
might 

fit your parameters.  


You are obviously familiar with Cartersville, GA (2007) I'm sure.  It fits all 
your 

requirements except classification which will come soon I'm sure.  The display 
is at the Tellus Science Center.   Others are:
 
Benld, IL (1938).  I believe most pieces of the impacted auto and most of the 
H6 stone are in the Field Museum, Chicago.  

The small H5 stone and aluminum shed roof of the Centerville, SD (1956) are on 
display at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City.

I believe the Field Museum also has a "holed" floor board of the Kilbourn, WI 
barn that was impacted by a H5 stone in 1911 and a small piece of the stone 
(and 
maybe a cast of it??).
 
The Denver Museum of Nature and Science has the impacted roof and dry wall 
boards of the Canon City, CO (1973) H6 fall.  It has at least a large fragment 
of the stone in its collection.
 
There are a also a couple of private displays of Park Forest impacted artifacts 
(printer and stone) I believe.

Peekskill might not fit your criteria, but I believe there is a cast of the 
whole meteorite that goes with the car.  

Hope this helps a bit,

Frank

sols 2805-2812, December 14-22, 2011:

This period began with a campaign of using the Microscopic Imager (MI)
and Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) to examine a target called
"Komati" on the "Saddleback" outcrop.

After two days of collecting APXS data, a drive was planned for Sol 2808
(Dec. 17, 2011) to rotate the rover in a way that would bring a
different target into range of the robotic arm (instrument deployment
device, or IDD). During this turning maneuver the right-front wheel
experienced elevated electrical currents, which tripped a fault response
and stopped the drive. Telemetry suggested that the elevated current was
due to the wheel's orientation with respect to the terrain (causing it
to work harder than expected) and not an actuator failure. To verify
this, diagnostics were performed on Sol 2810 (Dec. 20, 2011). The
diagnostic tests confirmed the actuator's continued good health.

A small drive of about 1.2 inches (3 centimeters) in the opposite
direction was planned for Sol 2812 (Dec. 22, 2011) to clear the wheel
from obstacles, if any existed, that may have hooked the wheel. This
drive was also successful, further confirming the health of the
actuator. With the success of this smaller drive, we are now comfortable
proceeding with a larger arc that should give us additional
wheel-current data and allow us to image the Sol 2808 stall point. This
drive is likely to be of the magnitude of 6 inches (15 centimeters) and
occur on Sol 2816 (Dec. 26, 2011).

As of Sol 2812 (Dec. 22, 2011), solar array energy production is 297
watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.645 and a solar array
dust factor of 0.469. Total odometry is 21.35 miles (34,361.13 meters,
or 34.36 kilometers).

NASA TO HOST MEDIA TELECONFERENCE ON PROBES' MOON ORBIT INSERTION

PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA will hold a media teleconference at 11 a.m. 
PST on Wednesday, Dec. 28, to preview twin spacecraft being placed in 
orbit around the moon on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. 

NASA's twin lunar Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) 
probes were launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Sept. 
10, 2011. GRAIL-A is scheduled to arrive in lunar orbit beginning at 
1:21 p.m. PST on Saturday, Dec. 31, and GRAIL-B on Sunday, Jan. 1, 
beginning at 2:05 p.m. PST. After confirmation they are in orbit and 
operating nominally, the two solar-powered spacecraft will fly in 
tandem orbits to answer longstanding questions about the moon and 
give scientists a better understanding of how Earth and other rocky 
planets in the solar system formed. 

Participants are: 
- Maria Zuber, principal investigator, Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology, Cambridge 
- David Lehman, project manager, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory 
(JPL), Pasadena, Calif. 

To participate, reporters must contact the JPL Media Relations Office 
at 818-354-5011 by 10:30 a.m. PST on Dec. 28 for the call-in number 
and passcode. 

Audio of the teleconference will be streamed at:

We discussed that matter in the German MetForum too, Count.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson lodging advice help ??

2011-12-23 Thread Jim Wooddell

Richard,

I stayed in Marana last year at the Motel 6 that Ruben mentioned on Ina 
Road.  The prices did not increase for the show and it was an "ok" Motel 6.


It's a 10 mile easy freeway drive to the show and not much of a problem at 
all.
I am staying there again this year.  I booked months ago but if I remember 
right it was under $70/night and they do accept AARP cards for discounts.


Mike's description of the prices was spot on.  A room worth $70/night or 
less gets about $180 to $250 per night for the show closer to town.  Way out 
of my price range.


I'll be there the weekend of the bash and auction doing some filming with 
Ruben.  I'll also be running around during the show filming and if anyone 
want to be filmed or show your rooms to the world, I need to kinda get an 
idea.  This will be on MTV (Meteorite TV) at some point during the show (at 
least that's the plan right now!)  There maybe two streaming feeds this 
year, but Ruben and I will work that all out and come up with a schedule of 
sorts,should be fun!


Cheers


Jim

Hello list!

I enjoy the banter betweeen everyone!  Ruben vs. Anne...should become a TV 
show!  ...as well as Capt. Blood's stellar work for the upcoming auction, 
I need some advice from anyone who will chime in:


It'll be my first-time Tucson visit.  I'll be driving from Davis, CA.; 
hopefully arriving the last week of January and staying at least until 
SkyBar and the auction...(fortunately I have a pick-up)...and I need some 
advice for accommodations.  While I'm up for camping, I do enjoy a nice 
clean-up and would rather plan for a comfortable / affordable room with no 
special ammenities, SAVING my money FOR METEORITES !!!  So, who can steer 
me in a good direction?


Where-o-where?  Should I make a reservation (duh!) and is it too late to 
secure something worthy (thinking Super 8 kinda place)...


(I knew that would invite some advice!)

Please chime in!

Sincerely,
Richard Montgomery

You had better hurry, rooms expensive even for crap at gem show time, if you 
have the ability, best to try and stay in casa grande or benson both about 
30-40 minutes away and 70% cheaper room wise, with your own vehicle it is easy 
to do. Book ahead or you might have to sleep out or pay $200 night for some 
flea-bit dump.
