Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
because of my first eBay auction ever?! ;-) Seriously, this is obviously a spectacular meteorite which is worth far more than the current prices at which it has been available both here and in Morocco. (My understanding is that apart from a handful of noteworthy specimens and dust, the supply in Morocco is largely exhaustedand I imagine I will soon be out of material as well.)

Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
Hi Darryl, I have sold valuable items on eBay but never meteorites so I don't blame you for removing the auction. Too bad though. I was looking forward to bid. I am always nervous too when I do a no reserve auction. You have to have a pretty strong stomach to stick it out to the end but the rewards are high traffic and usually the correct fair market value. Unless of course what you are selling is available in abundance. In which case yours wasn't so you would probably have gotten around the $1k per gram as suggested IMO.

Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
As you have pieces at http://www.rocksfromspace.org/MARS.html of around 1g for $500 or $600 then it will be interesting to watch thismany on ebay will not know about those and thus it may make the $1000/g or more.but the pieces on the website will certainly be a bargain then and shouldn't be around for longwill be very interesting to see what the price will settle at for this amazing fall Good luck Darryl.

Re: [meteorite-list] ADVERT / MARS - NO RESERVE - Sleeper Alert
It will be noteworthy to see how this great Martian fall pans out. This time, I am relaxing on the sidelines and watching from afar. There are plenty of dealers willing to part with some right now for those who like to be among the first to own some. I may decide to get involved if the price stabilizes before the Tucson show where I fully expect to see a huge amount of it. The marketing posturing seems subdued or at least delegated to the background for now. Perhaps it will explode onto the market by the time the Tucson show rolls around. Personally, I am hoping that a price war breaks out so that I can add a giant piece of Tata (b) or whatever they may name it to my collection for a reasonable price.

[meteorite-list] NASA's GRAIL-A Spacecraft 24 Hours Away From Moon
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-397 NASA's GRAIL-A Spacecraft 24 Hours Away From Moon Jet Propulsion Laboratory December 30, 2011 PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL)-A spacecraft is within 24 hours of its insertion burn that will place it into lunar orbit. At the time the spacecraft crossed the milestone at 1:21 p.m. PST today (4:21 p.m. EST), the spacecraft was 30,758 miles (49,500 kilometers) from the moon. Launched aboard the same rocket on Sept. 10, 2011, GRAIL-A's mirror twin, GRAIL-B, is also closing the gap between itself and the moon. GRAIL-B is scheduled to perform its lunar orbit insertion burn on New Year's Day (Jan. 1) at 2:05 p.m. PST (5:05 p.m. EST). As they close in on the moon, both orbiters move toward the moon from the south, flying nearly directly over the lunar south pole. The lunar orbit insertion burn for GRAIL-A will take approximately 40 minutes to complete and change the spacecraft's velocity by about 427 mph (687 kph). GRAIL-B's insertion burn - occurring 25 hours later -- will last about 39 minutes and is expected to change its velocity by 430 mph (692 kph). The insertion maneuvers will place each orbiter into a near-polar, elliptical orbit with an orbital period of 11.5 hours. Over the following weeks, the GRAIL team will execute a series of burns with each spacecraft to reduce their period down to just under two hours. At the start of the science phase in March 2012, the two GRAILs will be in a near-polar, near-circular orbit with an altitude of about 34 miles (55 kilometers). During the science phase, the moon will rotate three times underneath the GRAIL orbit. The collection of gravity data over one complete rotation (27.3 days) is referred to as a Mapping Cycle. When science collection begins, the spacecraft will transmit radio signals precisely defining the distance between them as they orbit the moon in formation. Regional gravitational differences on the moon are expected to expand and contract that distance. GRAIL scientists will use these accurate measurements to define the moon's gravity field. The data will allow mission scientists to understand what goes on below the surface of our natural satellite. This information will help us learn more about how the moon, Earth and other terrestrial planets formed. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the GRAIL mission. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, is home to the mission's principal investigator, Maria Zuber. The GRAIL mission is part of the Discovery Program managed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft.

[meteorite-list] Mars Rover Opportunity Update: December 23-27, 2011
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html#opportunity OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Positioned at Candidate Site for Winter - sols 2813-2817, December 23-27, 2011: Opportunity is positioned at a candidate site for Mars' southern hemisphere winter. The rover is at the north end of 'Cape York' on the rim of Endeavour Crater, tilted about 15 degrees to the north for favorable solar energy production. Opportunity experienced anomalously high current in the right-front wheel on Sol 2808 (Dec. 17, 2011). Diagnostics on Sols 2810 and 2812 (Dec. 20 and 22, 2011) indicated a nominal wheel and drive actuator with the terrain being the indicated explanation for the high current. On Sol 2816 (Dec. 26, 2011), the rover performed an 8-inch (0.2-meter) diagnostic backward drive. The drive completed successfully with Opportunity maintaining its 15-degree northerly tilt, sufficient for the winter period. The plan ahead is to conduct some contact measurements with the instruments on the robotic arm to see if this location offers substantive in-situ science opportunities during the winter months. Opportunity will also begin a radio Doppler tracking campaign at the start of the new year. As of Sol 2817 (Dec. 27, 2011), solar array energy production was 290 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.685 and a solar array dust factor of 0.475. Total odometry as of Sol 2816 (Dec. 26, 2011) is 21.35 miles (34,361.37 meters). __ HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

[meteorite-list] Mountain on Vesta Produces Terrestrial Meteorites
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/30dec_spacemountain/ Space Mountain Produces Terrestrial Meteorites NASA Science News December 30, 2011 When NASA's Dawn spacecraft entered orbit around giant asteroid Vesta in July, scientists fully expected the probe to reveal some surprising sights. But no one expected a 13-mile high mountain, two and a half times higher than Mount Everest, to be one of them. The existence of this towering peak could solve a longstanding mystery: How did so many pieces of Vesta end up right here on our own planet? For many years, researchers have been collecting Vesta meteorites from fall sites around the world. The rocks' chemical fingerprints leave little doubt that they came from the giant asteroid. Earth has been peppered by so many fragments of Vesta, that people have actually witnessed fireballs caused by the meteoroids tearing through our atmosphere. Recent examples include falls near the African village of Bilanga Yanga in October 1999 and outside Millbillillie, Australia, in October 1960. Those meteorites just might be pieces of the basin excavated when Vesta's giant mountain formed, says Dawn PI Chris Russell of UCLA. Russell believes the mountain was created by a 'big bad impact' with a smaller body; material displaced in the smashup rebounded and expanded upward to form a towering peak. The same tremendous collision that created the mountain might have hurled splinters of Vesta toward Earth. Some of the meteorites in our museums and labs, he says, could be fragments of Vesta formed in the impact -- pieces of the same stuff the mountain itself is made of. To confirm the theory, Dawn's science team will try to prove that Vesta's meteorites came from the mountain's vicinity. It's a match game involving both age and chemistry. Vesta formed at the dawn of the solar system, says Russell. Billions of years of collisions with other space rocks have given it a densely cratered surface. The surface around the mountain, however, is tellingly smooth. Russell believes the impact wiped out the entire history of cratering in the vicinity. By counting craters that have accumulated since then, researchers can estimate the age of the landscape. In this way we can figure out the approximate age of the mountain's surface. Using radioactive dating, we can also tell when the meteorites were 'liberated' from Vesta. A match between those dates would be compelling evidence of a meteorite-mountain connection. For more proof, the scientists will compare the meteorites' chemical makeup to that of the mountain area. Vesta is intrinsically but subtly colorful. Dawn's sensors can detect slight color variations in Vesta's minerals, so we can map regions of chemicals and minerals that have emerged on the surface. Then we'll compare these colors to those of the meteorites. Could an impact on Vesta really fill so many museum display cases on Earth? Stay tuned for answers.. Author: Dauna Coulter Editor: Dr. Tony Phillips Credit: Science@NASA http://science.nasa.gov/ More Information After revealing more Vesta surprises, Dawn will depart next summer for Ceres, where it will arrive in 2015.
