[meteorite-list] The Moon/ISS
Great photos of the ISS crossing the face of the Moon! It's a shame only a few of us still get a thrill about space, eh? Is it just me, or does the first pic look like the Nostromo coming into orbit around LV-426? ;) Cheers, Pete http://www.universetoday.com/92426/dazzling-photos-of-the-international-space-station-crossing-the-moon/ http://www.universetoday.com/92426/dazzling-photos-of-the-international-space-station-crossing-the-moon/ Dazzling Photos of the International Space Station Crossing the Moon! Has the International Space Station (ISS) secretly joined NASA’s newly arrived GRAIL lunar twins orbiting the Moon? No – but you might think so gazing at these dazzling new images of the Moon and the ISS snapped by a NASA photographer yesterday (Jan. 4) operating from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Check out this remarkable series of NASA photos above and below showing the ISS and her crew of six humans crossing the face of Earth’s Moon above the skies over Houston, Texas. And see my shot below of the Moon near Jupiter – in conjunction- taken just after the two GRAIL spacecraft achieved lunar orbit on New Year’s weekend. In the photo above, the ISS is visible at the upper left during the early evening of Jan. 4, and almost looks like it’s in orbit around the Moon. In fact the ISS is still circling about 248 miles (391 kilometers) above Earth with the multinational Expedition 30 crew of astronauts and cosmonauts hailing from the US, Russia and Holland. __ HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Are_Mars_Meteorites_Magnetic?
Richard, the List. There was a reply asking about magnetite. Magnetite is a form of Iron oxide, having the formula Fe3O2. The common chemical name is ferrous-ferric oxide. The formula for magnetite may also be written as FeO·Fe2O3, which is one part wüstite (FeO) and one part hematite (Fe2O3). It contains Iron, therefore it can be a magnet because the iron has a high Permeability. Alinco magnets were made before rare earth magnets. They were made of a mixture of aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) Sometimes copper and titanium were added. In their day, these were the strongest magnets that were available Now I'm sure someone will pipe up and ask about the rare earth magnets. There are two types: neodymium magnets and samarium-cobalt magnets. Neodymium magnets are made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron: (Nd2Fe14B). These are the strongest of all the magnets. Their only drawback is that they oxidize very eazy unless they are covered with a corrosion protection layer of nichol or some other material. The other type of rare earth magnet is samarium-cobalt magnets. The chemical formula is SmCo5, These are made from samarium and cobalt. These magnets are weaker than the neodymium magnets. I hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion.

Re: [meteorite-list] Are Mars Meteorites Magnetic?
Hello list, Greg, Bernd, Yes, everone uses the term magnetic but that is not the proper word for what they are trying to convey. Greg, you are correct in your definition. The correct term is Permeability. Permeability is defined as the ability to be attracted to a magnet. Everything has Permeability, but it is to such a small degree that the object will not stick to the magnet. Almost all living things contain some iron, which makes them have a slight Permeability. There are only three metals with a high enough Permeability to become a magnet. these are iron, nichol, and colbalt. Some stainless steel can have Permeability by deformation, that is, being bent out of shape. If you get bent out of shape, maybe you can be attracted to a magnet. :) A magnet attracts the iron because the iron has Permeability. Magnetic is the term meaning having the properties of a magnet. This is sorta like Meteroid, meteor, meteorite. I'm sorry that I did not get this out sooner, but life got in the way.

[meteorite-list] 'Greeley Haven' is Winter Workplace for Mars Rover
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-003 'Greeley Haven' is Winter Workplace for Mars Rover Jet Propulsion Laboratory January 05, 2012 NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity will spend the next several months at a site informally named "Greeley Haven." The name is a tribute to planetary geologist Ronald Greeley (1939-2011), who was a member of the science team for the Mars rovers and many other interplanetary missions. The site is an outcrop that provides a sun-facing slope to aid in maintaining adequate solar power during the rover's fifth Martian winter. It also provides targets of scientific interest for the rover's robotic arm to examine. Closer to the equator than its twin rover, Spirit, Opportunity did not need to stay on a sun-facing slope during previous winters. Now, however, Opportunity's solar panels carry a thicker coating of dust than in the previous winters. Unless an unlikely wind cleans the panels in coming weeks, the team will use a strategy employed for three winters with Spirit: staying on a sun-facing slope. For several months of shortened daylight before and after the southern Mars winter solstice on March 30, 2012, the sun will pass relatively low in the northern sky from the rover's perspective, and Opportunity will work on the north-facing slope. Plans for research at Greeley Haven include a radio-science investigation of the interior of Mars, which began this week; inspections of mineral compositions and textures on the outcrop; and recording a full-circle, color panorama: the Greeley Panorama. Greeley taught generations of planetary scientists at Arizona State University, Tempe, until his death two months ago. The radio-science investigation studies tiny wobbles in the rotation of Mars to gain insight about the planet's core. It requires many weeks of radio-tracking the motion of a point on the surface of Mars to measure changes in the spin axis of the planet. The winter worksite sits on the "Cape York" segment of the rim of Endeavour Crater. Opportunity reached the edge of this 14-mile-wide (22-kilometer-wide) crater five months ago after three years of driving from smaller Victoria Crater, which it studied for two years. Opportunity and Spirit completed their three-month prime missions in April 2004 and continued for years of bonus, extended missions. Both rovers have made important discoveries about wet environments on ancient Mars that may have been favorable for supporting microbial life. Spirit ended communications in March 2010 as its energy declined after losing the use of two of its six wheels, which prevented it from being able to gain a sun-facing tilt for its fourth Martian winter. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Exploration Rover Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. More information about Opportunity is online at: http://www.nasa.gov/rovers and http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov .

[meteorite-list] Mars Rover Opportunity Update: December 28, 2011 - January 3, 2012
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html#opportunity OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Positioned at Candidate Site for Winter - sols 2818-2824, December 28, 2011 - January 3, 2012: Opportunity is positioned for winter on the north end of "Cape York" on the rim of Endeavour Crater. The rover is tilted about 15 degrees to the north for favorable solar energy production. Opportunity is in position to conduct contact science investigations of surface targets reachable by the instruments on the robotic arm. On Sol 2819 (Dec. 29, 2011), the robotic arm was used to collect a set of Microscopic Imager mosaics of a target called "Amboy." This was followed by the placement of the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer for a multi-sol integration. On Sol 2822 (Jan. 1, 2012), the rover's robotic arm placed the Mössbauer Spectrometer on the target Amboy for an extended integration. Sol 2822 also saw the first of a planned series of special X-band passes to support a radio Doppler tracking experiment to measure the precession and nutation of the planet. Those first data have been assessed as good quality. The plan ahead is for continued Mössbauer integration on Amboy and more radio Doppler tracking. As of Sol 2824 (Jan. 3, 2012), solar array energy production was 287 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.735 and a solar array dust factor of 0.481. Total odometry as of Sol 2823 (Jan. 2, 2012) is 21.35 miles (34,361.37 meters). __ HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

[meteorite-list] Phobos-Grunt May Crash to Earth on January 15th
http://www.space.com/14143-doomed-mars-probe-phobos-grunt-crash-january-15.html Doomed Russian Mars Probe May Crash to Earth on Jan. 15 by Mike Wall space.com 05 January 2012 A failed Russian Mars probe is expected to come crashing back to Earth next weekend, according to news reports. The Phobos-Grunt spacecraft was stranded in Earth orbit shortly after its Nov. 8 launch, and it's been circling lower and lower ever since. Russian space officials now estimate that the probe will meet its fiery demise in Earth's atmosphere next Sunday (Jan. 15). "As of Wednesday morning, the fragments of Phobos-Grunt are expected to fall January 15, 2012," Alexei Zolotukhin, spokesman for Russia's military space forces, told Russian news agencies Wednesday (Jan. 4), according to Agence-France Presse. "The final date could change due to external factors." __ HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
