Hi Pete and all,
Reading the last paragraph of your statement lead me to believe you were
inferring that an astronaut was throwing a rock out of orbit. My mistake.

Pete,
This occurred to me many years ago - I always thought an
Earth meteorite would be one of if not THE coolest meteorite
Ever.

Hi Doug, Pete and all,
Thanks Doug for the figures you would have to throw at. Looks like our
astronaut isn't going to be launching anything too far out. I appreciate
the figures to back up my claim!!

Dear Sterling and list,
Although these reports are intriguing, there is still no convincing
evidence that any of these things are meteorites. I wish I had a
nickel for every I saw a fireball
All this escape velocity discussion jogged my memory about an urban myth
regarding the first man made object launched into space. Didn't take an
astronaut or a formal space program...
According to one version, one of the underground American atomic test
(Operation Plumbbob 1957?) had a
Alan Rubin and I grappled with this issue in our article in
Meteorite! 10 years ago, What is a meteorite? The pursuit of a
comprehensive definition. We wanted a definition that would exclude
things like tektites from being called meteorites. Our definition
then said that, to be called a
A related question I pondered a while back: How big does an object
need to be to be a 'parent body'? Is the meteorite ever the full
remnant of the PB?
In other words, can something be big and coherent enough to survive
passage through the atmosphere and produce a meteorite, which hasn't
the
sun.
I say material surviving to impact from any source (excluding man made)
would and should be called a meteorite.

Hi Pete,
I don't think it would be possible for an astronaut to throw an object,
rock or otherwise out of the orbit of the Earth. (lets not talk about
the Hassablat that got away) Seems like that would be possible but if
you think about it, both the astronaut and the rock are in orbit around

Hello list,
I've given this more than just a passing thought as I think this is a very
intreguing question.
If an impactor smacks into the moon with enough energy, objects will be
dislodged.
If they make it to earth intact, we have a luner meteorite.
Same goes for Mars and Astroid 4Vesta.
Is it not very strange that I find so many meteowrongs in the same place?
Some in the same meter square? In an area where no natural igneous rocks
exist?
I dont blame you, one day you will discover the value of these whatever they
are.
The sky is BIG, it can drop down anything.
Take It Easy
Is it not very strange that I find so many meteowrongs in the same place?
This may be a good sign. Isn't "admitting you have a probem" the first step towards recovery?
Mohamed,
May I suggest an explanation for your finding interesting rocks in an area
you claim has none?
Over the past 40 years, I've spent a lot of time collecting interesting
rocks during my travels around the western United States. While out hiking
or hunting, I've got a habit of picking

Hello all
I will not answer more to this email, to sincerely
have tired me. I invite Mr.Mohamed to visit the
Italian rivers in sand bank and it will find tons to
them of its meteorites.

Nope. Not very strange. I, too, can find so many meteorwrongs in my front
yard, in my back yard, down the street and over the hill. My neighbor can
find many meteorwrongs, too. Pretty much the same for my
22 matches
