Hello,

I am Walter Branch's wife, Sabrina. On Friday, Walter and our daughter were
in an accident. Walter is in critical condition in Trauma ICU. He has
numerous internal injuries including 5 broken ribs, a punctured lung, a
bruised lung, a ruptured diaphragm (repaired Friday night), his kidneys are
not functioning as they should, his spleen was removed, and he had a
compound fracture of the right femur.

He is under heavy sedation due to agitation, but when they back off the
sedation, he is alert and in a great deal of pain. He is on minimum life
support at the moment.

When I saw him yesterday, I asked him if I should let all of you know and he
nodded yes. Please keep us in your prayers. Our daughter is home from the
hospital with a concussion, whip lash, and a fractured pelvis.

If Walter had an on-going transaction with you, please be patient. As soon
as he is able to tell me what to do, I will try to do what I can.

Sincerely,
Sabrina Branch

[meteorite-list] The New Jersey Object

2007-02-01 Thread Mike Reynolds
Here's another observation pertaining to the unusual surface marks of this 
unidentified fallen? object.
I'm seeing sets of parallel lines that appear to have been gouged into this 
thing. They are inset horizontally and vertically, Perpendicular to each 
other. Could this have happened while crashing through the roof, ceiling, 
floor,tile, sheetrock, etc ..., or perhaps up in space? I'm trying to 
imagine how a freshly falling iron meteorite could have managed to obtain 
these ==  damage signatures.

Thanks for the better picture Adam.  From the random

destructed, then got run over for a few months on a

Imagine your excitement if you discovered a new planet. The privilege of
suggesting its name would
be yours. But what would you call it, and why?

We want you to send us your idea and the reason you chose it and we'll let 
you

know the best. But
read on if you need inspiration.

The person facing the planet-naming conundrum for real is Caltech astronomer
Mike Brown. He and his
team found our solar system’s tenth planet, which is larger than Pluto and
currently three times
farther from the Sun.

The new world has been designated 2003 UB313 by the Minor Planet Center, but
Brown has already
suggested a more catchy name to a 15-member panel at the International
Astronomical Union, who will
make the final decision. The name in question is currently being kept 
strictly

under wraps.

Brown's team had been calling the planet Xena, after TV’s Warrior 
Princess.

But that was our
tongue-in-cheek internal name, never intended for public consumption, he
admits. Perhaps his
newborn daughter, Lilah, has offered further inspiration – Brown's website 
on

the new planet is
called www.lilahsplanet.com.

Gods and characters from classical mythology have most frequently provided 
names

for solar system
worlds, but that need not stifle your creativity. And you may wish to bear 
in

mind these official
guidelines:

• Names should be pronounceable, non-offensive, 16 characters or less in
length and preferably one
word

• Names should not be too similar to an existing name of a minor planet or
natural planetary
satellite

• Names for persons or events known primarily for their military or 
political

activities are
acceptable only after 100 years elapsed since the person died or the event
occurred

• Names of a purely or principally commercial nature are not allowed

• Names of pet animals are discouraged

So please send us your proposed name and your reasons for picking it and we 
will

publish the best,
whether they be serious, intriguing, or just funny.

RE: [meteorite-list] No Access To University of Arkansas Museum Collection...

2003-06-23 Thread Mike Reynolds
All:

Let me reflect on Bill's comments regarding the state of museums and
non-profits right now...having served as an Executive Director/CEO and a
couple of weeks before retiring as the Foundation President of the same
facility.

It has been a very tough period for many of the nation's non-profits, except
those who have solid endowments and/or maintained good attendances. Many
museums, including ours, noted a drastic fall off in attendance post 9-11.
Following this was a drastic reduction in funding levels from government,
donors, and foundations. Many facilities are struggling just to keep the
doors open and survive the current economic downturn.

The horrific facts include that we will probably lose a number of
community-oriented non-profits, some of which cater to the sciences. And we
will lose outstanding non-profit and museum staffers who have either been
downsized or decided enough is enough. So the non-profit field is
following in the footsteps of America's private sector: downsizing,
closures, bankruptcy.

I have decided, for this and primarily personal family reasons, to take my
leave and return to the university world. I will eventually be moving into
an earth sciences professorship, where my research focus will be cratering
and meteoritics! And maybe--just maybe--a few more books to
write...including an article for Meteorite! on our meteorite exhibition.

Keep Looking Up,

Mike

[meteorite-list] Trickle Down Theory of Melting Snow May Support Life on Mars

2003-02-21 Thread Mike Reynolds

Trickle Down Theory of Melting Snow May Support Life on Mars
By Leonard David
Senior Space Writer
posted: 02:00 pm ET
19 February 2003



Intriguing and often-examined gullies on Mars might not be created by water 
seeping out from underground springs. Rather, they are likely caused by 
trickling water from melting snowpacks, an active process that could sustain 
biology on the Red Planet.

A leading Mars scientist has proposed a new theory regarding gully formation 
on the planet, backed by images taken from NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft. 
The research bolsters the view that liquid water is sheltered by snow, 
preventing the fluid from rapid evaporation in Mars' thin atmosphere.

Images




This image, taken by the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, indicates that gullies on 
crater walls may be carved by liquid water melting from remnant snow packs. 
The gullies in the top right-center appear to emerge from beneath and within 
a gradually disappearing blanket of snow.







This image from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft shows more gullies on 
crater walls possibly carved in the same manner. Numerous gullies are seen, 
with a remnant of the snow pack (arrow) proposed to be the source of water 
that eroded the gullies.

Ancient, Frozen Antarctic Life Revived, Along with Hopes for Life on Mars







The research was presented today at a space science briefing at NASA 
Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and will be detailed in the Feb. 20 issue 
of the journal Nature.

Weeping layers

In June 2000, puzzling signs of water seeping into what appear to be young, 
freshly-cut gullies and gaps in the martian surface were first reported by 
Michael Malin and colleague Kenneth Edgett, both of Malin Space Science 
Systems in San Diego, California. The researchers based their observations 
on pictures taken by the Mars Global Surveyor.

The surprising detection of recently-formed, weeping layers of rock and 
sediment on Mars had planetary experts scratching their heads.

Over the years, a host of scientific theories have been offered to explain 
gully formation on Mars, including seeping ground water, pressurized flows 
of ground water or carbon dioxide, and mudflows caused by collapsing 
permafrost deposits.

No explanation to date has been widely accepted.

Greenhouse on Mars

But today, formation of the martian gullies by springs or pressurized flows 
was called into question. Those now-famous gullies are created by trickling 
water from melting snowpacks, argues Philip Christensen, a researcher at 
Arizona State University and principal investigator for Odyssey's camera 
system.

Furthermore, that snow acts as a greenhouse, protecting the water and 
allowing it to melt and flow, and not instantly evaporate in the 
low-pressure atmosphere.

This snow would make an unbelievably attractive abode for life, 
Christensen told SPACE.com in an exclusive interview. You've got sunlight 
for photosynthesis. You've got temperatures above freezing. And you've got 
liquid water all within a few inches of the surface at mid-latitudes on Mars 
over huge areas.

I would think life, if it exists on Mars, would migrate toward exactly 
these environments, Christensen said. The snow sits there and acts as this 
wonderful blanket that allows all of this melting and trickling to go on.

Pasted-on terrain

Christensen points to an image taken by Odyssey of a crater in the southern 
mid-latitude Terra Sirenum region of Mars. It shows eroded gullies on the 
crater's cold, pole-facing northern wall, he said. But immediately next to 
those features is a section he calls pasted-on terrain.

This smooth deposit of material is thought to be volatile, composed of 
materials that evaporate in Mars' thin atmosphere. This material 
characteristically occurs only in the coldest, most sheltered areas.

Christensen reported that the most likely composition of this slowly 
evaporating material is water in the form of snow. From this observation, 
the Mars scientist suspects a relationship between the gullies and the snow.

Snow on Mars is likely to accumulate most on the pole-facing slopes -- the 
coldest areas. It gathers and drapes the landscape in these areas during one 
climate period, then it melts during a warmer one. Melting begins first in 
the most exposed area right at the crest of the ridge. This explains why 
gullies start so high up, Christensen said today.

Once he started to think about snow, Christensen added, he found a large 
number of other images showing a similar relationship between pasted on 
snow deposits and gullies in the higher resolution images taken by the Mars 
Global Surveyor.

Nice for life

Christensen told SPACE.com that snowpack melt that forms

Hi Mark and list,

Meteorites are cool because they start out really cold in space and don't 
stay hot for very long after atmospheric entry and landing,
with the exception, of course, of those which have landed in the desert 
during the day but even they would cool off at night, unless of course they 
immediately became covered with warm camel dung, in which case they would 
probably remain warm for awhile until they eventually cooled off during the 
evening hours, only to become warm again the next day.  Anyway... meteorites 
are cool in Antarctica.

[meteorite-list] when will the US see another meteorite fall and recovery?

2003-02-16 Thread Mike Reynolds
Hi John and all,
 This might be worth following up on if anyone feels ambitious or should 
find themselves in Massachusetts with a whole lot of free time on their 
hands. I don't know if anyone remembers this post and a few other earlier 
ones which referred to a possible fall which may have occurred more or less 
in my own back yard. Shortly after having read the first report, I took a 
day trip from the Boston area to check things out. I only looked in the area 
of a golf course near Amherst, that according to at least one eyewitness 
would have been in the area of it's flight path. Needless to say, I came 
home empty handed. This was reported to have occurred just about the same 
time as the Bensour fall which hit just across the pond from US.
A coincidence?

Is Dag 975 one of the 2 already paired Martian meteorites that you were 
referring to? I didn't see it on your web page as being paired with Dag 476 
and co.
Best Regards,
Mike Reynolds IMCA #8127

I've added this  meteorite to my SNC website:

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/snc/

among the 28 Martian rocks recovered on Earth


I know of 27 Mars meteorites, so apparently there is another
one out there.  Anyone know of it?  I am aware of two
other Mars meteorites but they were paired, ando won't
bump up the Mars meteorite count.

Hello List, My metal detector does not pic up stone meteorites unless there
over 100g's. Yes I like finding meteorites over 100g's but I also like
finding the smaller ones! So any ways I barrowed a metal detector from my
uncle. It is a WHITES EAGLE 2 SL , But no directions! Does any list member
have one. If so could you give my a crash coarse. Like what I do after I
turn it on, what setting to use? I plan on using it at Gold Basin!

Thanks, Tom

[meteorite-list] Shill bids on ebay meteorite auctions

2002-11-05 Thread Mike Reynolds







Hi List guys n gals.
Here's an interesting couple of recent ebay auctions that are comprised of 
the same seller/high bidder combinations on what looks to be the same 
meteorite. I wonder how many times this guy will sell this meteorite to 
himself before he's content with the results. It must be nice to have at 
least one faithful bidder who will only bid on your auctionsall of them. 
 Best regards,  Mike Reynolds  IMCA #8127

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #8...Free Canyon Diablo

2002-10-26 Thread Mike Reynolds


























If you could go meteorite hunting anywhere in the world, where would you go 
and why?

Hi Mark and list,
I'd go hunting at Hugh Hefner's mansion right around bunny bubblebath time. 
I may not find as many meteorites as others might at their hunting areas, 
but I'll bet I'd have more fun lookin!:D

Hi Mark and List,
The wildest/strangest and funniest thing that I ever heard after having 
shown my meteorites to someone came from my niece, who commented; Those 
black ones came out really ugly. Want me to paint them a prettier color for 
you?  Best Regards,  Mike Reynolds  I.M.C.A. #8127

How about having a short essay of 1,000 words or less about your first 
encounter with meteorites. Everyone remembers their first meteorite. Best
