All Things Meteor: Meteorites, Meteorwrongs, and Meteormaybes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- The Denver Astronomical Society (DAS) promotes the enjoyment and understanding of astronomical phenomena, history and lore by providing educational and observing opportunities for our members, education to the general public, and outreach activities at the University of Denver's Historic Chamberlin Observatory, schools, and nature centers.
Presented by
Dan Wray and Ron Hranac, Personal Collectors
for The Denver Astronomical Society
The June general meeting will feature a "tag-team" program on meteoroids, meteors and meteorites by DAS President Ron Hranac and EBoard member Dan Wray.
Ron and Dan will be giving a formal PowerPoint presentation on "all things meteor" and will have a few meteorite specimens for folks to get some hands-on with, as well as some "meteor-wrongs" to show how easy it is to mistake terrestrial rocks for those from space. Ron and Dan are both meteorite collectors, so expect some interesting, historical and exotic space-rocks to be on display as well.
The meeting will start with a short business meeting. As usual, there will be a reception at DU's Historic Chamberlin Observatory with refreshments after the meeting, to which all participants are invited.
Aka Rod jackson : love this pres. Yall both rock. I have watch this vid. Many times ❤
It finally came to me Ron, who you are. Thanks guys for all you do.
I just obtained a small sample of the Chelyabinsk fall to add to my Tolucas. 100% fusion crust. Beautiful. I might just be getting hooked on this stuff.
Thank you, I just determined I found an anomalous chunk of magnetite in my back yard, the streak test proved it. It is a really cool looking sample with a lot puckered looking features on opposite sides. Magnets stick to all parts of it, it's black and very heavy.
Who’s smoking a bong next to the camera
Thank you for your video
Very helpful - thanks!
I have many specimens collection but i need to send u some pictures of it for verification, is't ok for you to help me? Im from the Philippines'
look to the clay tempering process for katana blades for crystal iron structure and hardness
Hello there i have one. Jet Black like a carbón with gold splatter on the outer layer iron like rock very heavy for its size. At night awsome to look at what do I have please help me... I have it. About 6.5 kilograms
Have 2 large rocks little magnet pull. I have 2 very small rocks with strong magnet pull. They were all found a couple other from each in a field in Savannah Georgia. I need an expert opinion. I am not knowledgeable in this field I am listening to guys like you all.
Where are all the scientist now this days?
I live in Denver, I found a rock a couple weeks ago in the mountain, its heavy, magnetic and detecting metal detector. I used sandpaper it turn out metallic silver. I would like to show the pictures or the rock it self in person to the expert to help me identify my rocks
Post it here
@@CanadianDiggersChannel i just add video on here. Check it out and please let me know what you think, if i have meteorite. Thank you
What if it never actually reaches the ground but survives intact? I accidentally caught a small one in a plastic Tote I was carrying. I also have another that hit my arm and bounced in the window of my car. Found it on the floor with a magnet. Are these still technically meteors or meteorites? These events are what got me into hunting. I now hunt tops of parking garages with a magnet stick. I typically find one meteorite per trip, along with a ton of meteorwrongs, as here in the South, our gravel is made from grey granite which can stick to a magnet as well.
I also have three maybes that I need to get tested. I found them in a river several years ago and they're badly weathered due to tumbling around. They smell odd after grinding to check for nickel; like a cross between chocolate and a musty basement, with a slight sulfurous tinge as well. Like I've heard regolith described.
If it hits a human or man made object its called a Hammerstone.
@@learnwiththomastoday4228 Seriously?
I have a meteorite suspected i found it in my garden 8.75 kilogram from my father in law before he died he says it is a meteorite
a shooting star??? A star is very different from a meteorite. One landed down my block In the 1990’s when I was a kid I examine it every day. Collected every piece. Tons of Glass, ash fragments left a nice crater most of the pieces are hardly magnetic. Though I wouldn’t sell them for the world. I love them stones ❤️ took me half of my life to find them and i’m 30.
I found a big black rock and it is pretty heavy it has little shining specks and some white crystals with a crust that it looks like copper. Where can I go to find out if it is a meteorite thank you for you'r help n
Good day.sir i have metiorate stone here from olango island Lapu lapu City Philippines.
So after watching all of this, I'm guessing that being hit twice by small meteorites is rare?
Same! Lol ive only got one micrometeorite direct hit. I still have it. Its a special rock.
@@learnwiththomastoday4228 Since I am not the only one, there must be some sort of category for these things. Thanks for reaching out.
Damn I wish people with the plague would shut up coughing.
Ironically the objects which interests these people are quite likely the historical carriers of said plagues. There's a bizarre correlation between comet sightings and outbreaks of plague related deaths.
I was genuinely interested in what this might offer and the content is a topic I'm learning about so I was looking forward to an hour and a half of soaking up the knowledge that these two claim to possess. I've quickly established that meteorites are not the primary reason for this production, establishing 'false 'comet impacts' claims' as a Scientific fact', upon it's audience, is what this is actually all about. Anything longer than a cursory glance at Meteor Crater quickly highlights how ridiculous a claim it was, and has proven to be. The slide presented at 56:00 minutes of this video headlined 'Evidence of Impacts' has four bullet points - (read them again please so I don't need to list them again here) It's rubbish, sponsored propaganda. To date every discovery claiming to be of an impact crater, has upon investigation and study, proven to be incorrect. The 'dinosaur's' apparent extinction in a Earth-sized fireball is understood today as having been rather different. Firstly rather than their demise having been near instant, they continue as the dominant force for thousands of years, dying out slowly. The ThunderBolts Project and the Electric Universe can both be found posting on UA-cam and have repeatedly demonstrated experiments in the lab showing the characteristics of plasma scarring (think lightning on steroids) upon a steel sheet of metal. What they see etched into these metal plates, are exactly these craters. The specific details eliminate any possibility that the crater resulted from a comet or meteorite. Plasma lightning and scarring isn't confined to just Earth and Moon, evidence is present throughout the entire system. Mars's Grand Canyon compared to Earth's is spectacular - caused by massive electrical energy striking and literally vaporising, mountains. Plasma scarring leaves a raised nipple in the centre of it's 'crater', something impossible if it were an impact like they claim. Smaller craters appearing inside larger craters is characteristic too. Also plasma scarring leaves a raised edge accompanied with a outer, shallow trench running around the entire perimeter of the crater. Judging by what we see on other planets and moons in our system, sink holes can be massive and evidence of them is present on Earth and the 'pock-marked' moon above us.
hi people over there any one interested in you purchasing a superconductors iron meteorites? contains of magnetic elements superconductivity elements heavy elements hard elements dense elements and platinum elements like iridium.
👍👍👍
You guys know any good geologist in the Ohio area. I've got one I have a real good feeling for, and another very dense, very magnetic, has light fusion crust, looks like magnetite, but streaks bright red, like hematite, but maybe brighter than hematite. Would like to get them checked out.
Most meteorites don’t leave streaks
@@crazymeteorites3653 I've heard otherwise.
@@rickpicone9751 that’s why I said most some do
Can a meteorite be purple
Not likely
Rounded , dense , black fusion crust , thumbprints- divots , then is it magnetic , iron nickle , some old ones rust red , note the skin of raw meteorites, flow , match a good picture, make a chart , of features of common meteorites , observe!
Gary Mingy not all meteorites have thumbprint or fusion crust because it wares off when it has been on earth for a long time
Une petite collection meteorite maroc
What the hell ? a guy walking around talking and not showing the slides he is obviously clicking. Camera person focused on guy walking around talking . SUCKS !
Get rid of the sick people in yr room you cant hear for all the hacking sneezing etc.. My goodness
My god dude quit coughing in the Damn microphone its like your mouth was touching the damn thing it was so loud
I don't even understand these guys and can u expect to identify meteorites from this crap
