[meteorite-list] NASA Completes MESSENGER Mission with Expected Impact on Mercury's Surface
http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/details.php?id=284 MESSENGER Mission News April 30, 2015 NASA Completes MESSENGER Mission with Expected Impact on Mercury's Surface Mission controllers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., confirmed today that NASA's MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft impacted the surface of Mercury, as predicted, at 3:26 p.m. EDT this afternoon (3:34 p.m. ground time). Mission controllers were able to confirm the end of operations just a few minutes later at 3:40 p.m., when no signal was detected by the Deep Space Network (DSN) station in Goldstone, California, at the time the spacecraft would have emerged from behind the planet had MESSENGER not impacted the surface. This conclusion was independently confirmed by the DSN's Radio Science team, who were simultaneously looking for the signal from MESSENGER from their posts in California. MESSENGER was launched on August 3, 2004, and it began orbiting Mercury on March 18, 2011. The spacecraft completed its primary science objectives by March 2012. Because MESSENGER's initial discoveries raised important new questions and the payload remained healthy, the mission was extended twice, allowing the spacecraft to make observations from extraordinarily low altitudes and capture images and information about the planet in unprecedented detail. Last month -- during a final short extension of the mission referred to as XM2'-- the team embarked on a hover campaign that allowed the spacecraft at its closest approach to operate within a narrow band of altitudes, 5 to 35 kilometers above the planet's surface. On April 28, the team successfully executed the last of seven orbit-correction maneuvers (the last four of which were conducted entirely with helium pressurant after the remaining liquid hydrazine had been depleted), which kept MESSENGER aloft for the additional month, sufficiently long for the spacecraft's instruments to collect critical information that could shed light on Mercury's crustal magnetic anomalies and ice-filled polar craters, among other features. With no way to increase its altitude, MESSENGER was finally unable to resist the perturbations to its orbit by the Sun's gravitational pull, and it slammed into Mercury's surface at around 8,750 miles per hour, creating a new crater up to 52 feet wide. "Today we bid a fond farewell to one of the most resilient and accomplished spacecraft ever to have explored our neighboring planets," said Sean Solomon, MESSENGER's Principal Investigator and Director of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. "Our craft set a record for planetary flybys, spent more than four years in orbit about the planet closest to the Sun, and survived both punishing heat and extreme doses of radiation. Among its other achievements, MESSENGER determined Mercury's surface composition, revealed its geological history, discovered that its internal magnetic field is offset from the planet's center, taught us about Mercury's unusual internal structure, followed the chemical inventory of its exosphere with season and time of day, discovered novel aspects of its extraordinarily active magnetosphere, and verified that its polar deposits are dominantly water ice. A resourceful and committed team of engineers, mission operators, scientists, and managers can be extremely proud that the MESSENGER mission has surpassed all expectations and delivered a stunningly long list of discoveries that have changed our views not only of one of Earth's sibling planets but of the entire inner solar system." MESSENGER's Final Hours MESSENGER's last orbit with real-time flight operations began at 11:15 a.m. EDT, with initiation of the final delivery of data and images from Mercury via the DSN 70-m antenna in Madrid, Spain. See the last image delivered here. After a planned transition to the 34-m DSS-15 antenna at Goldstone, California, at 2:40 p.m. EDT, mission operators later confirmed the switch to a beacon-only communication signal at 3:04 p.m. The mood in the Mission Operations Center at APL was both celebratory and somber, as team members watched MESSENGER's telemetry drop out for the last time after more than four years and 4,105 orbits at Mercury. "We then monitored MESSENGER's beacon signal for about 25 additional minutes," said Mission Operations Manager Andy Calloway of APL. "It was strange to think that for those last three minutes MESSENGER had already impacted onto Mercury, but we could not confirm that fact yet because of the vast distance across space between Mercury and Earth. MESSENGER passed behind Mercury (as viewed from Earth) at 3:29 p.m., however the signal from our intrepid spacecraft started fading prior to that and dropped out for the last time at 3:25 p.m." At 3:38 p.m. EDT, at the time the spacecraft would have emerged from behind the p

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4570 Rock Spire in 'Spirit of St. Louis Crater' on Mars Jet Propulsion Laboratory April 30, 2015 An elongated crater called "Spirit of St. Louis," with a rock spire in it, dominates a recent scene from the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. Opportunity completed its 4,000th Martian day, or sol, of work on Mars on April 26, 2015. The rover has been exploring Mars since early 2004. This scene from late March 2015 shows a shallow crater called Spirit of St. Louis, about 110 feet (34 meters) long and about 80 feet (24 meters) wide, with a floor slightly darker than surrounding terrain. The rocky feature toward the far end of the crater is about 7 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meters) tall, rising higher than the crater's rim. The component images of this mosaic view were taken on March 29 and 30, 2015, during Sol 3973 and Sol 3974 of the mission. This version of the image is presented in approximate true color by combing exposures taken through three of the Pancam's color filters, centered on wavelengths of 753 nanometers (near-infrared), 535 nanometers (green) and 432 nanometers (violet). The view is centered toward the northeast. The rover's location and the Spirit of Saint Louis Crater are near the center of a map at: http://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/tm-opportunity/images/MERB_Sol3998_1.jpg The unusually shaped Spirit of St. Louis Crater lies on the outer portion of the western rim of Endeavour Crater. Endeavour spans about 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter, and Opportunity has been exploring its western rim for about one-third of the rover's mission, which has lasted more than 11 years. Endeavour's elevated western rim extends northward to the left from Spirit of St. Louis Crater in this scene. A glimpse of the far side of Endeavour is visible on either side of the rock spire.

[meteorite-list] NASA's New Horizons Detects Surface Features, Possible Polar Cap on Pluto
April 29, 2015 RELEASE 15-078 NASA's New Horizons Detects Surface Features, Possible Polar Cap on Pluto For the first time, images from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft are revealing bright and dark regions on the surface of faraway Pluto - the primary target of the New Horizons close flyby in mid-July. The images were captured in early to mid-April from within 70 million miles (113 million kilometers), using the telescopic Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) camera on New Horizons. A technique called image deconvolution sharpens the raw, unprocessed images beamed back to Earth. New Horizons scientists interpreted the data to reveal the dwarf planet has broad surface markings - some bright, some dark - including a bright area at one pole that may be a polar cap. "As we approach the Pluto system we are starting to see intriguing features such as a bright region near Pluto's visible pole, starting the great scientific adventure to understand this enigmatic celestial object," says John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. "As we get closer, the excitement is building in our quest to unravel the mysteries of Pluto using data from New Horizons." Also captured in the images is Pluto's largest moon, Charon, rotating in its 6.4-day long orbit. The exposure times used to create this image set - a tenth of a second - were too short for the camera to detect Pluto's four much smaller and fainter moons. Since it was discovered in 1930, Pluto has remained an enigma. It orbits our sun more than 3 billion miles (about 5 billion kilometers) from Earth, and researchers have struggled to discern any details about its surface. These latest New Horizons images allow the mission science team to detect clear differences in brightness across Pluto's surface as it rotates. "After traveling more than nine years through space, it's stunning to see Pluto, literally a dot of light as seen from Earth, becoming a real place right before our eyes," said Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator at Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado. "These incredible images are the first in which we can begin to see detail on Pluto, and they are already showing us that Pluto has a complex surface." The images the spacecraft returns will dramatically improve as New Horizons speeds closer to its July rendezvous with Pluto. "We can only imagine what surprises will be revealed when New Horizons passes approximately 7,800 miles (12,500 kilometers) above Pluto's surface this summer," said Hal Weaver, the mission's project scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland. APL designed, built, and operates the New Horizons spacecraft, and manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. SwRI leads the science team, payload operations and encounter science planning. New Horizons is part of the New Frontiers Program managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

[meteorite-list] Mercury Crater-Naming Contest Winners Announced
http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/details.php?id=283 MESSENGER Mission News April 29, 2015 Mercury Crater-Naming Contest Winners Announced The MESSENGER Education and Public Outreach (EPO) Team, coordinated through the Carnegie Institution for Science, announces the winning names from its competition to name five impact craters on Mercury. The contest submissions had to be submitted by January 15, 2015, and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) -- the governing body of planetary and satellite nomenclature since 1919 -- made the selections from a semi-final submission of 17 artists' names. The newly selected crater names are Carolan, Enheduanna, Karsh, Kulthum, and Rivera. Under IAU rules, all new craters on Mercury must be named after an artist, composer, or writer who was famous for more than 50 years and has been dead for more than three years. * Turlough O'Carolan (Carolan), was an Irish composer during the late 1600s and early 1700s. * Enheduanna, an Akkadian princess who lived in the Sumerian city of Ur in ancient Mesopotamia (today's Iraq and Kuwait), and is regarded by many scholars as possibly the earliest known author and poet. * Yousuf Karsh, was an Armenian/Canadian and one of the greatest portrait photographers of the twentieth century. * Umm Kulthum, was an Egyptian singer, songwriter, and film actress of the 1920s to the 1970s. * Diego Rivera, was a prominent Mexican painter and muralist from the 1920s to the 1950s. NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft has been in orbit about Mercury since March 2011 and is due to finally impact the planet tomorrow. The MESSENGER spacecraft has far surpassed expectations in the duration of the mission and in the quantity and quality of data returned. The original goal of the craft was to take 2,500 images of the planet, but is has returned more than 250,000. The EPO team organized the crater-naming competition to celebrate the mission's achievements. The winners come from many different countries. Carolan was suggested by Fergal Donnelly (Belgium), Joseph Brusseau (USA), and Reane Morrison (USA). Enheduanna was submitted by Gagan Toor (India). Karsh was submitted by Elizabeth Freeman Rosenzweig (USA). Kulthum was suggested by Malouk Ba-Isa (Saudi Arabia), Riana Rakotoarimanan (Switzerland), Yehya Hassouna (USA), David Suttles (USA), Thorayya Said Giovanelli (USA), and Matt Giovanelli (USA). Rivera was suggested by Ricardo Martinez (Mexico), Rebecca Hare (USA), Arturo Gutierrez (Mexico), and Jose Martinez (USA). Julie Edmonds, the EPO team leader at the Carnegie Institution for Science, remarked, "The IAU working group that chose the names was very happy with the submissions. In all we had 3,600 contest entries, a resounding success for the excitement that the MESSENGER mission to Mercury has generated." Final Maneuver Extends MESSENGER Operations by One More Orbit MESSENGER mission controllers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., conducted a maneuver on April 28 designed to raise the spacecraft's minimum altitude sufficiently to ensure impact onto Mercury during the desired orbit when full coverage by NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) scheduled. The previous maneuver, completed on April 24, raised MESSENGER's minimum altitude from 8.3 kilometers (5.2 miles) to 18.2 kilometers (11.3 miles) above the planet's surface. Because of progressive changes to the orbit over time, however, the spacecraft's minimum altitude continued to decrease. At the time of this most recent maneuver, MESSENGER was in an orbit with a closest approach of 5.3 kilometers (3.3 miles) above the surface of Mercury. With a velocity change of 0.45 meters per second (1 mile per hour), the spacecraft's four largest monopropellant thrusters released gaseous helium pressurant to nudge the spacecraft to an orbit with a closest approach altitude of 6.3 kilometers (3.9 miles). This maneuver also increased the spacecraft's speed relative to Mercury near the maximum distance from Mercury, adding about 3.5 seconds to the spacecraft's eight-hour, 21.2-minute orbit period. The final maneuver in the MESSENGER low-altitude hover campaign, this was the mission's fourth course-correction maneuver to use the helium gas pressurant as a propellant to change the spacecraft's orbit. This view shows MESSENGER's orientation at the start of the maneuver. MESSENGER was 155.2 million kilometers (96.5 million miles) from Earth when the 3.02-minute maneuver began at about 5:20 p.m. EDT. Mission controllers at APL verified the start of the maneuver 8.6 minutes later, after the first signals indicating spacecraft thruster activity reached NASA's DSN tracking station in Goldstone, California. --- MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientif

http://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/status.html#opportunity OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Rover on the Lookout for Dust Devils! - sols 3990-3998, April 15, 2015-April 23, 2015: Opportunity is on the west rim of Endeavour Crater next to the "Spirit of St. Louis" crater near the entrance of "Marathon Valley." The rover had been conducting an in-situ (contact) science campaign at the outcrop named "Thermopylae." On Sol 3991 (April 16, 2015), the robotic arm was used to collect a Microscopic Imager (MI) mosaic and then place the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) for a multi-hour integration. A small Navigation Camera (Navcam) mosaic was also collected on that sol. On the next sol, a new Navcam Dust Devil Watch was sequenced. On Sol 3993 (April 18, 2015), further MI mosaics were collected followed by another APXS placement. For the next sol, the APXS was offset to an adjacent target for another integration. However, during the preparation for the afternoon UHF relay pass the rover experienced a reset, stopping all sequences. The cause of the reset is unknown and still under investigation. Further, an amnesia event occurred later that night for the wakeup to start Deep Sleep. The rover was restored to master sequence control on Sol 3996 (April 21, 2015). On Sol 3998 (April 23, 2015), Opportunity drove a little over 26 feet (8 meters) to reach the rim of the Spirit of St. Louis crater. As of Sol 3998, the solar array energy production was 620 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.766 and a solar array dust factor of 0.731. Total odometry is 26.25 miles (42.24 kilometers), more than a marathon. __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
Hi Michael/List; Great to hear from you! Rich formatting is when your email software adds a special font, bold print, colored text, etc. to the email message. This is accomplished using HTML, which is what web pages use - so basically rich formatting makes email messages display more like a web page. Unfortunately HTML in emails can also allow hackers to hide nefarious code within the message.

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
Hi, all, The archives here makes the MetList very relevant and irreplaceable, in my humble opinion. A lot of knowledge stored there! Links are allowed, so pictures can be attached to posts (indirectly) like that. My only issue is that "plain text" formatting means that some good messages will miss being posted if not so adjusted. Cheers, Pete __ 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] Charles Fort
Has anyone in the list examined the 1919 Book by Charles Fort "The Book of the Damned" as it pertains to meteorite falls? It mentions countless historical mysteries, many of which, likely were meteorite falls. Many of these occurred in earlier times before they knew what meteorites were or where the came from. Many times the dates and locations are given and strange artifacts or substances are left on the ground. It might be a good book for a meteorite hound to examine, some may already have done this. The book can be downloaded for free and can be obtained in many diff formats. I usually download books from the site PDF format. The site is "http://manybooks.net"; Direct link to book "http://manybooks.net/titles/fortcother05book_of_the_damned.html"; Thanks Greg Breashears __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
Hi Frank, Personally, I do not read nearly as many of the list posts as I used to because: 1) People often do not change the subject box even though they are Off on an entirely different topic - if I am burned out on a given topic And people keep not changing the subject box, I just ignore those posts. 2) Posts are not identified as from a specific member when they arrive 3) Many do not sign their posts, so even if you read it you don't know who posted it even if you read do it. 4) Many of those who do sign their post only use their first name, eg: "Michael" . Who knows who that is? Michael Blood, Michael Farmer, Michael Casper (yes, he does occasionally still post), Michael Gilmore, or any of a number of other Michaels? 5) Over the years I grew somewhat selective - as when a couple of nuts Were "duking it out" over who knows what. 6) I became even more selective because I didn't care much about what several members had to say - While there were other members who's posts I would never failed to read. 7) If people disagree with you there are more than a few on the list who Can be very rude in their responses. Others, of course, will disagree but Remain civil, which is fine - but who needs the rude attacks of the contentious? So, those are my reasons - they probably are not the same as everyone else's who have diminishing posting over time, but my guess is That nearly everyone in this category share at least some of these reasons.

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
Hi Anne, David, Matthias and all, I certainly don't think that anyone intentionally wants this list to end as like you we have all had many years of great information from it. I just think times change and bit by bit things happen, people post elsewhere as well as here and find out they get more replies, more quickly and they can reply with a photo to make a point better etc. And then they make a choice to use the other forum in preference and etc etc. And then before you know it traffic is hugely increased elsewhere and is quieter here. I completely understand the issue people have with privacy on facebook but there are many many settings that you can lock down. Also the biggest thing here, is you choose what to post, who to accept into your 'friends' list, which photos you submit etc. You have that control. I understand that for some folk, it may be like Anne says, a bitter pill to swallow, but if I had a business then i would swallow that pill instantly.

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
Hi Larry, I use gmail and use the gmail app on my android phone which send in rich text format. I have tried numerous tests (ask Art!) and none get through. If i want to send an email to the list using my phone i have to open up gmail in a browser which works but is a faff. Anyone else worked out how to send plain text emails via the gmail android app? As i use my phone most of the time for emails it means this is another reason i use the metlist less and less.

Hi gang, Since I don't do Facebook I rely on this list. I tried Facebook years ago, it bored me to tears. I am getting daily digests of the list however. Sometimes my occasional posts don't make it to the list for whatever reason. I DO follow Geoff Notkin on Twitter. I prefer Twitter because it quick and a lot less BS. Also news travels VERY FAST on Twitter. "Rock" on!

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
That is funny that you mention drones. Sams Club has a decent model for sale called the "DJI Phantom 2 Vision Drone" with GPS and panning camera for a mere U.S. $1,169.00 plus tax. I still need to learn how to fly the drone I purchased awhile back. So far, I managed to fly it into the ceiling of my house while trying to calibrate it so you won't see it flying outside your window anytime soon. You may even be able to use one as a tax write off. I will since mine can be used for getting aerial shots of properties that I have invested in once I learn how to control it.

Yes, Facebook mines everything you post because they provide a free service and the bills have to be paid. Facebook doesn't force anyone to participate. Every move you make online anywhere is monitored. Everything you search for, every link you click, every email you send - it is all monitored. Don't forget, the internet is a creation of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) to allow government officials to keep in touch in the event of a nuclear war. Don't think for a second that any creation of the military/government is not watching you. Everything you send to this Met-List is monitored. Although, I would much rather have Art in charge of things than Zuckerberg. IMO, the Met-List will always be relevant. When it comes to meteorites, redundancy is not a bad thing. Everyone thought MySpace was immortal and look what happened to that. Facebook could go away tomorrow and the Met-List would still be here. In fact, the Met-List has been aroun d longer than Facebook or MySpace. Facebook has become a regular watering hole for meteorite people. It doesn't mean it is better or worse than the Met-List. There is no crime in frequenting both venues. My sole purpose for being on Facebook is sales - same for Twitter and every other social media site. If I want to see someone or talk to them, I get in the truck and go pay them a visit, or ring them on the phone. If one is concerned about privacy, then don't use the internet. Also, don't drive around traffic cameras. Don't do anything within sight of a surveillance camera. And do not attend any public events. Don't talk on the phone either - that is being monitored also. BTW, your cable box is a small computer and it tracks your every move - every show you watch, for how long you watch, when you watch, what you order on PPV, how you interact, etc. All watched and logged. Be sure to wear a tinfoil hat and mylar poncho when going outdoors, because satellites are watching you. As far as "government" goes, we have nobody to blame but ourselves - we elected them.

Politicians are not born, big business creates them.

[meteorite-list] AD - Since I got your attention................
Hello again, And since I got all your attention (I hope), here is an Ad. Serge Afanasiev was here for the Denver Spring Show last weekend, he is now on his way back to Russia but he left a bunch of stuff with me. Most notably he left a whole bunch of Chelyabinsk, beautiful fresh ones mostly or nearly whole with velvety crust, very little to no rust, all kinds of sizes and shapes from 163g to tiny little peas. And everybody should have at least a few Chelyabinsks in their collections! Also, some not-shrapnel Sikhote-Alin, some Popagai impactites, faceted Libyan Glass, and more. And no problem with customs or shipping, those are all right here in Denver. Interested? Questions? Wanting pictures? Just email me. Thanks. Anne M.

Hi Mike/List; It's actually simple to assure that your posts will show up: don’t use rich formatting in your emails. 99% of the time an email doesn’t make it is due to the formatting.

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
I have been using the internet before it was even called the internet so have a good grasp on what is currently happening. It was designed so that universities could share scientific data and was called ARPANET. The command codes were awkward and its use was limited before more user-friendly interfaces came about. I come from a super-mini/mainframe background where we used to have to program in machine code and bootstrap mainframes by programming registers in "1s" and "0s". I was the CEO/President of a computer hardware company for 14 years that help modernized the internet by manufacturing internet infrastructure appliances and servers. I earned my Enterprise-wide Certified Network Engineering certificate in the 1990s and had to learn hundreds of protocols so that the equipment we built would universally interface across variable platforms. This company was merged soon after we won huge contracts for building content filtering servers for companies who were selling these services to other entities including the US Government. I could have never foreseen how this equipment would evolve into such a monstrosity where privacy is no longer regarded as a basic human right! This being said, I doubt the Met List rates high on data mining platforms so I remain comfortable using it, Adam . - Original Message - From: "Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list" To: "Ruben Garcia" Cc: "Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com" ; "Anne Black" ; "Larry Atkins" Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2015 10:08 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet Privacy is only an illusion, especially on the internet.

Hello List I hardly write anything on the list although I enjoy reading every single one. I was against FB and gave in this year for the most part! As of January 29th of this year FB passed 1.29 billion users. This is an unimaginable number of people. Just don't say anything that you wish you could take back at a later date. Showing your recent acquisitions or wanting to sell one I think is pretty harmless. After all you can Google a certain meteorite and if it was discussed on the "metlist" it will show up!

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
Privacy is only an illusion, especially on the internet. Yes, Facebook mines everything you post because they provide a free service and the bills have to be paid. Facebook doesn't force anyone to participate. Every move you make online anywhere is monitored. Everything you search for, every link you click, every email you send - it is all monitored. Don't forget, the internet is a creation of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) to allow government officials to keep in touch in the event of a nuclear war. Don't think for a second that any creation of the military/government is not watching you. Everything you send to this Met-List is monitored. Although, I would much rather have Art in charge of things than Zuckerberg. IMO, the Met-List will always be relevant. When it comes to meteorites, redundancy is not a bad thing. Everyone thought MySpace was immortal and look what happened to that. Facebook could go away tomorrow and the Met-List would still be here. In fact, the Met-List has been aroun d longer than Facebook or MySpace. Facebook has become a regular watering hole for meteorite people. It doesn't mean it is better or worse than the Met-List. There is no crime in frequenting both venues. My sole purpose for being on Facebook is sales - same for Twitter and every other social media site. If I want to see someone or talk to them, I get in the truck and go pay them a visit, or ring them on the phone. If one is concerned about privacy, then don't use the internet.

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
In my opinion the list is dying because 90% of what people post never makes it. Most of my emails are blocked, never to appear. Why? I have no clue. Most others tell me the same thing. I just post on Facebook and sell my things in minutes. Much easier. Why? I don't know. Sad to see, the list was once a great place where information and stories were shared. Mostly now just an eBay add site.

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
Every single word or image you post to these social media sites will be recorded forever. All of this data is being sold and a social profile is being gathered on every individual who engages these sites. There is already talk about tying credit reports to individuals' social profiles. Employers are using social profiles to assess job applications. Governments are mining this data like taking DNA samples from individuals. Even the founder of Facebook refused to have an account up until a few years ago. He now maintains a token account for business purposes. This should serve as a warning. I recently had to replace my notebook computer with a new one that has Windows 8.x. Here are some invasive questions that were asked. What is your birthday? What is your gender? I tried to skip over these questions but the Microsoft software would not allow me to complete the installation without answering them. They asked for everything but my social security number. I do not want my data stored on a, yet to be hacked, cloud when I have a hard drive perfectly capable of storing this sensitive data. I was forced into buying Obama Care for my wife after she lost her health insurance due to poor governmental policies. Three days after five attempts to get her signed up on the health care exchange, the site was hacked and our personal; information was compromised. All we got from the deal was a letter from Anthem offering us a free two-year subscription to ProtectMyID.com I had to install data encryption and a firewall on my Jeep Rubicon's computers after somebody changed the shift points in one of the computers causing the engine to over rev. I had to reprogram sensitive data to be stored on removable flash-drives instead of the cloud. I also run in tempest mode most of the time by turning off Blue Tooth, FM, Wireless and Satellite communications. I only turn on the hotspot when absolutely necessity. It is unfortunate that I now have to monitor emails coming from my Jeep. I will leave Facebook to my wife who enjoys sharing recipes, small talk and images. It is a great way to communiacte with friends and family if you do not mind the horrendous invasive intrusion with personal data being offered to the highest bidder.

Howdy List! Nice to read posts from everyone who has chimed in.

I certainly agree with you, David, Matthias. I don't like Facebook and their privacy policies, or lack of. It makes the Government agencies look like rank amateurs when it comes to watching what we are all doing. However I certainly understand what Graham is saying when he writes "had to venture into using it for marketing other aspects etc... just no choice if you want to keep up with things." And there are times when I wonder if I will not be obligated to join it just and only for business purposes. That would be a very bitter pill to swallow!!! Anyway we can all band together, protect our privacy, and keep the List going?? Any comments? anybody? Anne M.

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet
What about those of us who are not on Facebook? I would really hate to see this list diminish. The content has most always been informative, and interesting.

[meteorite-list] AD - CAPOT REY, 141g. Stone with Melt at Ebay & more!
Dear List, this week i have a VERY beautiful complete stone of Capot Rey at Ebay. This piece is one of two stones which i have left, i had it many years in my collection. Now i deceided to sell it. In my opinion Capot Rey is one of the most beautiful H5 chondrites. This is one is with melt, i guess slices of it would look very fine! Also there is some other stuff. To view all the auctions which startet at $1.99 follow this link: http://www.ebay.com/sch/gipometeorite/m.html?item=171771001197&ssPageName=ADME%3AL%3ALCA%3AUS%3A1123&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Many thanks for viewing, Carsten Giessler __ 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
