[meteorite-list] AD - Sculptural Mundrabilla Specimens - HD Videos
Hi List, I recently acquired some beautifully sculptural Mundrabilla specimens. I have created rotating HD videos of each one to really show off their spectacular shapes. This one, I call 'The Spiral'! http://youtu.be/-Pg0cN9Yzlk?list=UUllUJNdBmzDWSPAJIaDiIjw All videos can been seen at this page on my website: http://www.lutherjackson.co.uk/mundrabilla.html Now I've had my fun with them, they are ready for new homes, so if you are interested in any of them, drop me a note regarding pricing. Please take a look at the vids, even if not interested in buying, as they really are lovely!

[meteorite-list] Now for something a little bit different..............
Hi all, Now for something a little bit different... See link below for some photos of a cast of the impact pit made by the famous Middlesbrough meteorite on 14th March 1881. (https://www.flickr.com/photos/94515040@N03/sets/72157646778504309/) I know lots of you now have a cast of the Middlesbrough meteorite so i thought you may be interested in seeing a cast of the Middlesbrough impact pit that i acquired back in 2011 but have just uncovered in my garage today Not yet mounted it properly in a display case but i plan on making a replica wooden crate which is how it was originally housed when the pit was originally dug up. The meteorite is housed at the Yorkshire Museum in York and more info on the historic meteorite fall can be seen here: (http://www.yorkshiremuseum.org.uk/collections-2/collections-highlights/the-middlesbrough-meteorite/) Enjoy :-) Cheers Martin -- Martin Goff www.msg-meteorites.co.uk IMCA #3387 __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Small Asteroid to Pass Close by Earth on September 7 (2014 RC)
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news184.html Small Asteroid to Pass Close by Earth on September 7 (2014 RC) NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program Office September 3, 2014 [Graphic] This graphic depicts the passage of asteroid 2014 RC past Earth on September 7, 2014. At time of closest approach, the space rock will be about one-tenth the distance from Earth to the moon. Times indicated on the graphic are Universal Time. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech A small asteroid, designated 2014 RC, will safely pass very close to the Earth on Sunday, 7 September 2014. This small asteroid was initially discovered on the night of 31 August by the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson AZ, and independently detected the next night by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope, located on the summit of Haleakala on Maui, Hawaii. Both reported their observations to the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, MA. Additional follow-up observations by the Catalina Sky Survey and the University of Hawaii 88-inch on Mauna Kea confirmed the orbit of 2014 RC. From its brightness, astronomers estimate that the asteroid is about 20 meters (60 feet) in size. Based on current calculations, the best estimate for closest approach will be on 7 September, 2014, at about 18:15 UTC (2:15 PM EDT) at approximately 1/10th the distance from the Earth to the Moon, or at about 40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles). Its apparent magnitude at closest approach will be about 11.5, rendering it unobservable to the unaided eye. However, amateur astronomers with small telescopes might glimpse the fast moving appearance of this near-Earth asteroid. The asteroid will pass below the Earth and the geosynchronous ring of communications and weather satellites orbiting 35,890 km (22,300 miles) above our planet's surface. While this celestial object does not appear to pose any threat to the Earth or satellites, its close approach creates a unique opportunity for researchers to observe and learn more about asteroids. While 2014 RC will not impact the Earth, its orbit will bring it back to the Earth's neighborhood in the future. It's future motion will be closely monitored but no future threatening Earth encounters have been identified.

Re: [meteorite-list] CO WY Meteor Approx. 2230 MDT 02SEP2014 long duration/fragmentation
I caught this nearly overhead from central Colorado on my camera. I believe it was probably the decaying COSMOS 2495 (Norad 39732). I should have two angles on it tomorrow confirming that this was not a meteor.
