An alert Canadian man snapped an illuminating sequence of photos of the gaseous trail left in Earth's atmosphere minutes after a recent meteor explosion over the Yukon Territory.

The flash occurred around 8:45 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on January 18 over the remotely populated stretch of northwestern Canada, said Ewald Lemke, a 63-year-old realtor who posted the images he took on his Atlin Realty Online website. ... [See the original for the still photos!]

Der Tagish-Meteorit | Copyright: NASA

Toronto/ Kanada - In einem im Jahr 2000 im Tagish-See gestürzten Meteoriten haben kanadische Wissenschaftler einen enorm hohen Anteil von Methansäure-(Ameisensäure)-Molekülen außerirdischen Ursprungs entdeckt, wie sie auch zu den Grundbausteinen des organischen Lebens auf der Erde zählen.

Die Untersuchungen durch das Team um Dr. Christopher Herd an der University of Alberta erbrachten in dem kosmischen Brocken einen vier Mal höheren Anteil der Säuremoleküle als in anderen bisher untersuchten Meteoriten. Auf dem Treffen der American Geophysical Union (AGU) haben die Forscher ihre Ergebnisse jetzt erstmals vorgestellt. ...

New insights from Canadian meteorites
Meteorites, being rocks from space, are solid samples of places in the Solar System to which we cannot easily go. The study of their physical and mineralogical characteristics provides insights into the diversity of processes involved in their origin. Likewise, the conditions under which they fall to Earth provide links to their asteroid or planetary parent bodies. Speakers will discuss new results regarding detection of organic molecules important for life in the unique Tagish Lake, B.C. meteorite (Herd), special conditions of formation of the 1000-year old Whitecourt, Alberta impact crater (Kofman), and the spectacular November 20, 2008 fireball that resulted in the fall of the Buzzard Coulee, Saskatchewan meteorite (Hildebrand).
