Hola Sterling, E.P., All,
Concerning recent impacts (12,000 years old), what
I've noticed over the years is that some people go
into denial, and those denial mechanisms are sometimes
really pretty bizarre. It's tough to accept on a gut
level that as things now sit you, your family, your

I second Berndt's opinion. I have never seen a eucrite like this. My slice

I think I may have answered my own question at least partially.

Hi, Rob, Jason, List,
I meant angles to be referenced to the horizon.
Zenith = 90 degrees; Horizon = 0 degrees.
I also mean a local polar coordinate system with
0, 0 at ground level, crater center. Probably a flat

Oh,
Dear List,
This link is in regards to the statement made by an
Indian scientist, Dr. Goyal, in which he claimed that
if the meteorite hit the reactor it would cause severe
damage to a nuclear reactor and disaster.
The Indian government is still investigating.
