Re: [meteorite-list] 2005 - No Falls? Any promising candidatesinhiding?
Hi Rob, There was also the massive fireball over Western Australia in December 2005 which made international news. There was another one also caught by the Japanese network in March 2005. Both are viewable on my Meteorite Films page. http://www.meteorites.com.au/films/ Cheers, Jeff - Original Message - From: "Matson, Robert D."

Any promising candidates inhiding? Hi List, According to all authoritative sources, there were no officially recognized meteorite falls in the year 2005. 2005 is the only year in the young 21st century not to have a recognized fall. So, were there ever any promising reports of falls from that year that were never followed-up on, or were overlooked in some way? Or perhaps there was a fall, but is not available to the public or available for classification? Will 2005 go down as a "goose egg" year in the annals of meteorite falls? I know this sounds like a silly topic to bring up in the year 2010, but looking back on the numbers since 2000, 2005 stands out like an anomaly.

[meteorite-list] 2005 Nininger Meteorite Award 40th Anniversary
2005 Nininger Meteorite Award 40th Anniversary The Center for Meteorite Studies at Arizona State University is pleased to announce the 40th Anniversary of the Nininger Award for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing research in meteoritical sciences. Permitted research topics include, but are not limited to, physical and chemical properties of meteorites, origin of meteoritic material and cratering. Observational, experimental, statistical or theoretical investigations are allowed. The Nininger Award recognizes outstanding student achievement in the meteoritical sciences as embodied by an original research paper. Papers must cover original research conducted by the student and must have been written, submitted or published between January 1, 2005 and November 15, 2005. Applicants must be the first, but not sole, author of the paper and must be studying at an educational institution in the United States. The 2005 Nininger Award, in the amount of $2500, may be awarded as a single or divided prize. Application deadline is November 15, 2005. Further information about the Nininger Award and paper submission instructions are located on the Center for Meteorite Studies Nininger Award website: http://meteorites.asu.edu/nininger Questions regarding the application or application process may be sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] 2005 Gene Shoemaker NEO Grant Recipients
http://planetary.org/html/neo/SocietyProjects/ShoemakerGrant/2005ShoeGrants.html 2005 Gene Shoemaker NEO Grant Recipients The Planetary Society August 17, 2005 The 2005 Gene Shoemaker Near Earth Object (NEO) Grants, totaling $32,500 (US), were awarded to an international collection of amateur astronomers and researchers: James W. Ashley, Minor Planet Research, Inc., Fountain Hill, Arizona, USA; Peter Birtwhistle, Great Shefford Observatory, Berkshire, England; David J. Higgins, Hunters Hill Observatory, Ngunnawal, Canberra, Australia; Gianluca Masi, Campo Catino, Italy; Erich Meyer, Davidschalg, Austria. The observers and their projects were selected from a group of 24 proposals that The Planetary Society received from 12 different countries. James W. Ashley of the Minor Planet Research, Inc. (MPR) will receive funding for data storage equipment and an Internet server to be used as a integral part of MPR's Asteroid Discovery Station (ADS) education project. The ADS system uses both un-reviewed and archival images from the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search program (LONEOS) to provide students with the unique opportunity to discover both main-belt and near-Earth asteroids. Peter Birtwhistle will receive funding to enhance the ongoing NEO astrometric follow-up program at the Great Shefford Observatory by upgrading an existing CCD camera. The upgrade will enable images from the camera to be transferred to its controlling PC at a rate about 20 times faster than currently possible. As a result, longer exposures will be possible in a given elapsed time, permitting the detection of fainter NEOs. David Higgins will receive funding to purchase an SBIG CCD camera and filter wheel, allowing him to utilize the full automation tools already emplaced at his observatory and thus increasing the number of effectively utilized observing hours by a factor of 2. Higgins is a talented amateur observer with a good observing site north of Canberra where he will concentrate on astrometric follow-up and lightcurve studies of NEOs. Gianluca Masi will receive funding to repair and upgrade a 0.8-meter telescope that he uses for photometric observations of NEOs. Masi is a graduate student at the University of Rome, working full time on NEO observations. Erich Meyer will receive funding to purchase a new Santa Barbara Instruments Group (SBIG) CCD camera with a large pixel array and extremely short readout time. Meyer is a very experienced and productive NEO observer, who routinely works with his 0.6-meter telescope at very faint visual magnitudes comparable to professional surveys. The primary thrust of Meyer's observing program is to extend the observed orbital arcs of very faint newly-discovered NEOs. The purchase of a new, modern CCD camera will enable him to make even greater contributions. The Planetary Society thanks all the Shoemaker NEO Grant applicants. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
