The meteorite hunters are beginning to find a few pieces of it now, west of Reno in Calif. It's a type CM chondrite! :) Barrett -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of jcarman6@q.com Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 12:44 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Leonid Meteor Shower Hits the West Thanks so much Barrett for the information. Wow, the size of a minivan. That was dang big. Lucky for all it broke up, or the angle of entry was so shallow. If it had made it all the way down it could have done some serious damage. We get pretty complacent, sometimes we need a wake-up call, or at lea st a little alarm going off. I remember an article that Asimov wrote MANY years ago about "city busters." It would have to have been larger than the minivan, still, we are like the ducks in the arcade - just one good hit ..... _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
