[meteorite-list] Season's Greetings

[leandro saracino]

Hi List,
it has been great to spend a year with your daily voices.
I appreciated many thoughtful discussions, I enjoyed the adventures, and 
appreciated the generosity in the dramatic moments...

It's a pleasure and a honour to be part of all this.

I wish all of you and your beloved a peaceful and joyful Christmas and a 
great New Year.

Re: [meteorite-list] Moon rock?

[leandro saracino]

Hi Graham and all,
as far as I can remember, "false color" pictures of the Moon have been 
used as a bi-dimensional visual tool for lunar geochemistry since the 
'60s, by Ewin Withaker, Dale Cruickshank and other folks at the famous 
Lunar and Planetary Lab in Tucson. They used to sandwich negative IR 
plates and positive UV plates (or the reverse, maybe) of the Moon and 
the final B/W product was a stunning picture that revealed the 
compositional provinces of variuos areas of our satellite. Many years 
later the same concept has been extended to the remote sensing by 
orbiting or fly-bying space probes (Clementine, Galileo), getting a far 
better color discrimination of the lunar chemical provinces. The use of 
modern electronic equipment has put this technique in the range of 
amateur astronomers as well, with many beautiful results already 
published in the net. A nice web page is given by Filipe Alves (sorry, I 
didn't keep its URL, but you should be able to find it anyway).
That's definitely a compositional bulk effect, thus, but one cannot 
exclude in principle a small contribution of meteoritic origin to the 
spectral reflectance of the lunar surface (something like that has been 
advocated also for the martian surface some time ago, if I remember 
correctly).

Hope this brief account will help.

Thanks Stephan...compares well to his shot...will give him the link.

Seems it is related to chemical makeup of the moon itself then and not 
influenced by the continuous rain of nickel iron as meteorites.

He thought there may be a connection.

[meteorite-list] some meteorite videos

[leandro saracino]

Hi crew, 
here are the links to a couple of YouTube videos about meteorites:

http://www.maury.it/tmp/oacl/first_meteorite_find.mpg 

http://www.maury.it/tmp/oacl/TunguskaExplosion30t.avi 


They have been converted to common formats, and should run with normal video 
software, 
but in case of problems they can easily be run with VLC media player.

Ciao ciao :)

[meteorite-list] DIOGENITE A GO GO...

[leandro saracino]

wake up Listers!!!
what about 1.2 Kg of a "Gobi" DIOGENITE waiting for you at:

*http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190081312408*

starting at only $200... ;-) ?

Isn't it the deal of the year?

Hurry up, you lazy crew!
