[meteorite-list] Great Salt Lake meteorite fall, 13 Aug 2022
After a series of computer-based misadventures, I have (finally) posted a NASA Meteorite Falls page for the Salt Lake City meteorite fall: https://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/meteorite-falls/ To date more than a dozen meteorites have been recovered. To the best of my knowledge they were all on the western shore of the Great Salt Lake, but it appears some smaller meteorites may also be found on the eastern shore quite close to Salt Lake City. The meteorites recovered to date have trended to masses in the hundreds of grams. Be very careful hunting this fall. The ground is recently-exposed lake floor and is soft and wet. Temperatures are high and there are no drinkable water sources. People have reported getting trucks and off-road vehicles stuck, and it is a long walk to the nearest road. Use good desert survival practices and bring lots of water. Sources such as the National Park Service can be of use in planning a safe trek: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/healthandsafety/trip-planning-guide.htm Feel free to contact me with any questions about this event - marc.d.fr...@nasa.gov Cheers, Marc __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Guest Lecture: Our Meteorite Community: How a Unique Symbiosis Expands our Knowledge of Meteoritics and Planetary Science
I am honored to announce that I will be a guest lecturer this coming Sunday for the "UCLA Meteorite Gallery Lecture Series." These lectures are always super informative and cater to everyone who has an interest in meteorites. I certainly hope to follow in the footsteps of those before me. Title: Our Meteorite Community: How a Unique Symbiosis Expands our Knowledge of Meteoritics and Planetary Science Registration: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEqduyupj0vGd3S0_52FsbHTbPjYr0sZQUj When: 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time on July 17th, 2022 Abstract: Meteorites represent one of the most unique collectables in our solar system, and not just for their "out of this world" origins. Their ability to be subdivided and still maintain scientific and monetary value forms the basis of the unique symbiosis that exists between the scientist/researcher/curator and the hunter/dealer/collector communities. For this relationship to expand and strengthen requires not only care but understanding as well. This presentation will provide insights into how meteorites are brought to market and science, the positive roles of hunters, dealers and collectors in the advancement of science, and the motivations driving the various parties along the chains of custody. The goal of the presentation is to increase mutual respect and understanding by addressing complex issues impacting our communities so that we may work more closely together.

Re: [meteorite-list] Noblesville IN possible meteorite landing December
Correct. Generally, the strongest indication that something fell really far away is people reporting that it fell at most a few miles away. If something actually falls within a few miles, this is what you would experience: The meteor climbs pretty much exactly vertically after been first seen before it breaks up or fades high in the sky. The terrain will be illuminated before it fades. After 0.5 to 1.5 minutes there would likely be a loud sound followed by rumble. The rumble could start as a strange sound with rapidly falling pitch. Further away there will be just regular rumble. -Steinar Chris Peterson via Meteorite-list writes: > If you saw it break up near the horizon, any meteorites produced are > 100 miles or more away from you.

Re: [meteorite-list] Noblesville IN possible meteorite landing December
Once it enters dark flight it is largely subject to what the wind is doing. Within a few seconds it is simply falling at terminal velocity. Of course, it depends on what we mean by "break up". I'm talking here about a terminal explosion, which is a common way that meteorite producing meteors end up. There are also meteors that break up over a long distance, in a series of explosions or disruptions. Those tend to drop meteorites along that path, producing long strewn fields. In any case, if you see a fireball near the horizon, there is no way it can drop meteorites anywhere nearby.

Not an inclusion. Ureilites are known to have carbon polymorphs including microscopic diamonds, but that’s as close as you are going to get.

Re: [meteorite-list] hot vs. cold meteorite falls
One of the eye-witnesses to Barwell, Joseph Grewcock - https://www.bbc.com/news/av/magazine-35054625 described the meteorite as being 'red-hot'. He originally thought it had fallen off a lorry, so had no reason to be 'psychologically tricked'. The number of similar reports connected to other falls, makes me believe you are correct.

Re: [meteorite-list] hot vs. cold meteorite falls
A meteoroid could possibly travel in the Earth's shadow for several hours before it reaches the atmosphere, and this could be enough to cool down its interior if not a particularily large meteoroid. But a core temperature near 0° C sounds reasonable as a typical value. Earth would be -18° C without an atmosphere, but has a much higher albedo than the typical meteoroid. Obviously, 10 seconds or less of heating in the atmosphere will not change the core temperature much. And a couple of minutes of falling in temperatures well below freezing will cool down the melted crust. In some cases the dark flight can be as low as one minute or so, like the 2020-11-07 iron meteorite that fell in Sweden and it wouldn't surprise me if the meteorite was pretty warm to touch just after impact in that case. Most people view meteorites as fireballs smashing into the ground leaving a flaming crater, so the expectation is usually that they're very hot. I have received many reports of melt holes in icy lakes that people are convinced must have been caused by red-hot meteorites. -Steinar Chris Peterson via Meteorite-list writes: > A meteoroid in space is nominally at or just above freezing (i.e. 0° > C), but there is a fair range around that, especially toward the > higher end, depending on its emissivity.

Re: [meteorite-list] hot vs. cold meteorite falls
A meteoroid in space is nominally at or just above freezing (i.e. 0° C), but there is a fair range around that, especially toward the higher end, depending on its emissivity. It almost certainly will not be very cold. Space is not "cold". It is, of course, dominated by radiative heating and cooling. While it is radiating into something just barely above absolute zero, it is also absorbing the same amount of solar energy as a rock on the ground. In most cases, I would expect a meteorite to be on the cold side when it impacts. The heating that occurs during its brief ablative phase will have almost no effect on its internal temperature. But it will spend several minutes falling through air at one or two hundred meters per second, and for almost all of that time the air will be on the order of -40° C. That will result in significant cooling of typical meteorites of a few hundred grams to a few kilograms. I think that what can easily happen is that people who touch a freshly fallen meteorite actually experience cold as hot, due to their expectations. Whether we perceive something as hot or cold can be unrelated to the actual temperature. Remember that kids' game where you dare somebody to keep their back to you while you touch the back of their neck with a hot iron, and then actually touch them with an ice cube? Most people startle and believe you've burned them.

Dear Meteorite Friends, Reminder! I take this opportunity to cordially invite you to an interesting free, meteorite-related, public lecture at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona located at 1629 E. University Blvd., Tucson, Arizona. I would like to point out that it was Mike Nolan and team who determined Bennu's spinning top shape - and got it perfect!! Not many astronomers have the luxury of spacecraft flybys to validate their work. Come enjoy another great LPL speaker. October 16th at 7 pm Hear Dr. Michael Nolan, OSIRIS-REx Science Team Chief, speak about "Twenty Years of Bennu: From Arecibo to Orbit". He will relate the amazing story of asteroid Bennu from initial detection to astounding discoveries! For other upcoming lectures: https://www.lpl.arizona.edu/calendar/evening-lectures Thank you to all those who regularly attend LPL public events and stop by to say hello!

Re: [meteorite-list] Man killed by meteorite ?
I very much doubt this is true as there would not be an audible explosion for an impact pit that size...the meteorite would only be falling at 200-300mph and would only make a thud noise ane especially not injure anyone badly nearbysome other explosion I expect has caused this...unless the meteorite hit a gas pipe or similar perhaps...but doubt itno photos of the rock and probably just a coincidental terrestrial rock nearbylook out for oither reportsand if anyone knows what the 1925 incident was then I would be most interested as not heard of that before either?

[meteorite-list] AD: Brand new meteorite book - Signed copies for sale
Paid AD - 12 of 12 Hi all, Happy to announce exclusive availability of a brand new meteorite book. *** BRAND NEW METEORITE BOOK l 'Meteorites - The story of our solar system' by Caroline Smith, Sara Russell and Natasha Almeida Exclusively available from Msg-Meteorites prior to the official publication date of 21st February. I have copies signed by all 3 authors available for sale at the normal RRP of £14.99 plus shipping. Shipping will be in a cardboard book mailer - UK - £3, Europe £7, USA £10 (Sorry for the high shipping costs but that's what I pay) For anyone in London, I will exclusively have copies for sale at European AstroFest 2019 in a few weeks. I can also deliver copies free to the Ensisheim Show in June. For those in the USA, maybe you can ask someone going to Ensisheim to pick you up a copy? In 'Meteorites', leading experts from the Natural History Museum, London provide a compelling and cutting edge introduction to the evolving science of meteoritics. They reveal what meteorites are, where they are most likely to be found, and the type of celestial bodies that they hail from. The book contains all the latest information on key meteorite falls and considers some of the big questions that still remain – such as whether our solar system is unusual in creating a planet that supports life, and if it is likely we will find complex life elsewhere. With a mix of photographs, diagrams and maps, Meteorites is essential reading for all those with an interest in the nature of our solar system. AUTHORS - Caroline Smith is Head of Earth Sciences Collections and Principal Curator of Meteorites at the Natural History Museum, London. - Sara Russell is Merit Researcher in Cosmic Mineralogy and Planetary Sciences at the Natural History Museum. She is a Science Team member of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, and proud namesake of Asteroid Sararussell. - Natasha Almeida is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Mineral and Planetary Sciences at the Natural History Museum. She specializes in the very rare enstatite chondrites meteorites. All the best.
