(http://royalsociety.org/events/2012/stones-from-the-sky/) Professor Pillinger was the recipient of the Michael Faraday prize in recognition of his excellence in communicating science. The lecture is called 'Stones from the sky - A heaven sent opportunity to talk about science' For those who dont know about Professor Pillinger, here is a lowdown: 'Colin Pillinger is Professor of Planetary Sciences at the Open University. His research interests include designing unique instruments to analyse extraterrestrial samples. During his forty year career he has made more than a thousand contributions to scientific literature, and also found time to be one of Britain's foremost science communicators, contributing dozens of popular articles in newspapers and magazines as well as giving hundreds of public lectures. After analysing a number of meteorites from Mars and finding tantalising evidence of the existence of life there, he conceived the Beagle 2 mission to land on the Red Planet to confirm his discoveries. Throughout the project he filled over thirty notebooks recording the daily happenings which form the basis of his autobiographical account of the mission - My life on Mars. ' Colin Pillinger is friends with Derek and Katrina Gray, the owners of the Wold Cottage and has a particular interest in the Wold Cottage meteorite and in Sir Edward Topham who was the owner of the land at the time the meteorite fell.

Scientists believe that the meteorite was preserved by the onset of the Ice Age. enlarge The 205 pound meteorite likely crashed to Earth 30,000 years ago -- it was then preserved by the freezing conditions of the Ice Age. Click to enlarge this image. Credit: Open University With a weight that rivals a baby elephant, a meteorite that fell from space some 30,000 years ago is likely Britain's largest space rock. And after much sleuthing, researchers think they know where it came from and how it survived so long without weathering away. The giant rock, spanning about 1.6 feet (0.5 meters) across and weighing 205 pounds (93 kilograms), was likely discovered by an archaeologist about 200 years ago at a burial site created by the Druids (an ancient Celtic priesthood) near Stonehenge, according to said Colin Pillinger, a professor of planetary sciences at the Open University. ANALYSIS: Forget Space Beer, Order Meteorite Wine Instead Pillinger curated the exhibition Objects in Space, which opened Feb. 9 and is the first time the public will get a chance to see the meteorite. The exhibition will explore not only the mystery that surrounds the origins of the giant meteorite, but also the history and our fascination with space rocks. As for how the meteorite survived its long stint on Earth, researchers point to the ice age. The only meteorites that we know about that have survived these long ages are the ones that were collected in Antarctica, said Pillinger, adding that more recently, some ancient meteorites have been collected in the Sahara Desert. This rock came from neither the Sahara Desert nor Antarctica, but rather the Lake House in Wiltshire. Britain was under an ice age for 20,000 years, Pillinger told LiveScience, explaining the climate would have protected the rock from weathering. At some point, the Druids likely picked up the meteorite when scouting for rocks to build burial chambers. They were keen on building burial sites for [the dead] in much the same way the Egyptians built the pyramids, Pillinger said. SCIENCE CHANNEL: Meteorite Men Videos Then, years later, an archaeologist with ties to other, famous archaeologists, likely found the rock while excavating the Druids' burial sites, he said. The archaeologist then brought the rock back to his house in Wiltshire, where its more recent residents took notice and alerted researchers. The men whose house this was found at spent a lot of time opening these burial sites 200 years ago for purposes of excavating them, Pillinger said. Our hypothesis is that the stone probably came out of one of those burial chambers. WATCH VIDEOS: FROM METEORS TO ASTEROIDSThe meteorite is called a chondrite, a group that includes primitive meteorites that scientists think were remnants shed from the original building blocks of planets. Most meteorites found on Earth fit into this group. ANALYSIS: Farmer Finds Rare Meteorite Other objects on display include a much smaller meteorite, weighing about an ounce (32 grams), and excavated from a grain pit where ancient peoples of the Iron Age stored their crops. It was discovered in the 1970s at Danebury Hill Fort in Hampshire, though it wasn't until the 1980s when scientists analyzed metal in the walnut-size object did they realize its extraterrestrial origin. The exhibition will also include a Damien Hirst spot painting, which features the famous Beagle 2 spacecraft as its center spot. In addition, part of Newton's apple tree will be on display. The story of how researchers are uncovering the origins of these impressive specimens will astonish and delight visitors to this remarkable exhibition, which also contains letters and books charting the history of scientific interest in meteorites. The Royal Society's London headquarters will house the exhibit through March 30. - Phil Whitmer Joshua Tree Earth Space Museum __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] 2nd Report from Strewnfield in Edgewood Texas
Hello Mexico Doug and List, Yes, I agree with the information about the hunt and the chase and the fun and perils of wild animals and wild and crazy people. I wrote before to Mexico Doug last night and I was confused and there was a misunderstanding on my part about a quote of Doug's about me, and I understand now and contacted him last night and all is well and now I understand he was agreeing with me on the things that we are all concerned about while trying to hunt for meteorites and everything involved. All the best to Mexico Doug and the list. Brian Hi George, Eric Guido I generally agree with Count Guido; in the thick hammocks surrounded by rich swampland where you see the panthers in Florida, the light can get very tricky and towards animals all tend to black. I'm sure Eric saw what he said, was definitly no wuss, and frequently footprints in the sandy soil can be very difficult to dimension and size also vary concordant with that besides the size/weight of the animal so that really isn't a very reliable indicator although whatever he mentioned he knows best... ...Speaking only for myslef, as I tend to hunt insects more than big cats, that is. Really in Florida the only danger I ever worried about wasa coral snake. But here's a panther in Florida on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uxO79138CQ#t=2m27s lucky catch, but if you spend enough time in there you are bound to run across these guys. Unless threatened, they will do exactly what you see here and to say an experienced hiker in the 'Glades would be scared is really not likely. Probably there are more food resources everywhere here so they don't become irritable for food and break people's neck's often (never that I heard). Plus the posting of the Big Bend, TX incident was a 6 year old kid. Don't know the details but I get the idea that the parents ought to have kept a better eye on him no matter what is said. People get so bent out of shape over risk. One swimmer gets bit by a shark and there is pandemonium. More people get killed going to the beach in their cars ... same concvept with the poor cats at work. But I guess if I were the unlucky one I'd be whistling a different tune. So better jusdty to take normal precautions and not do anything stupid, and respect the wildlife. I've lost count of all the wild boars, large snakes and weird reptiles and animals I've seen hunting in Mexico and so far keeping one's distance with respect and everyone peacefully co-exists. Oh, but I can get the crap scared out of me, too, don't get me wrong, all alone at night when a cow moos the hell suddenly beside my tent and starts peeing on it and you can't see your hand in front of your face. Then there's the coyotes, I love 'em. But they can get into groups and start wailing like a devil being exorcized and they don't quit. Yeah, I admit those noises can be scarier than swimming with Great Whites, and you know coyotes 99.9% of the time put their tail between their legs and take off.
