So here is the BIG question. Are Carbonaceous chondrites that have pinkish CAIs containing Uranium 235 which is the byproduct left over from curium radioactive? Can these CAI's register on a Geiger counter? Uranium 235 is only 0.71% pure Uranium with a half life of 704 million years. Since most carbonaceous meteorites are billions of years older than the radioactive half life can these Pink CAIs still be radioactive and potentially dangerous to touch?

321P/SOHO makes its close-approach on 13-Mar-2016
reported by  meteordetective

A reminder for astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts:

Jupiter-family Comet 321P/SOHO makes its close-approach to Earth on Sunday 13-Mar-2016 at 05Z21 - at a distance of 62.38LD = 0.16028 AU = 14.9 million miles from Earth.

The Comet is currently located in the constellation of Ophiuchus at 17h35m40.32s +05°07'09.6" - and is rapidly tracking 'West' (increasing its Right Ascension value) on its way to closest-approach.

At the precise time of its closest-approach to Earth, it will be located in the constellation Aquila at 19h20m08.58s +10°45'25.3" at 05Z21.  It should be +/- Magnitude 15.

New asteroid made close-approach less than 5,000 miles from Earth's surface

New asteroid made close-approach less than 5,000 miles from Earth's surface
reported by  meteordetective

NASA have published data of a very close-approach which occurred on Feb-25 at 19:49Z (note that the asteroid was not discovered until the following day).

The asteroid in question is 2016 DY30 (the 774th <0.5 AU asteroid to be discovered since March 01 2016).

Its nominal (expected) close-approach distance was just 4933.546 miles from Earth's surface.  Although small (estimated to be 2-5m in diameter), it was travelling at just over 17km/s (relative to Earth) at the time of its close-approach.

2016 DY30 entered NASA's all-time close-approaches table at position #5.  It is the 6th asteroid, this year, which has found its way on to the 'top 100' table. There were 13 new entries in this 'top 100' table last year (2015) and 12 entries during 2014.

8 asteroids have made / will make their close-approach of less than 1LD (average distance from Earth to the Moon) during the current +/- 30 days period.  2016 DY30 was the only one of these which was (well) below geo-stationary altitude of 22,236 miles.

Watch the skies...

2 x Major USA fireball events: Sunday 06-March-2016

2 x Major USA fireball events: Sunday 06-March-2016
reported by  meteordetective
INITIAL POSTING: Mon-07-Mar-2016: 07:20GMT
Update 6) Tue 08-Mar-2015, 19:35Z

A video of what might be a third event at 21:45 Pacific has been posted to Youtube on XenonRocket's Channel.  I'm unable (no e-mail address available) to contact the YouTuber directly, but here's the embedded video.  According to the directions & location provided, the meteor seems to be travelling NE->SW.

---

Update 5) Tue-08-Mar-2015, 05:00Z

Overnight, I had a witness from the Dallas event e-mail me a full set of answers to the Sightings Questionnaire, which was invaluable in assessing the Texas sighting of 20:45 Central Time on Sunday 6-March-2016.

It would appear to have been a large bolide (-4 mag.) travelling South-North on a moderate descending trajectory.  The witness described the bolide as "Light orange in front with blue long tail. Very blue almost totally round in front then narrowing tail. Not like a far away shooting star."  Note the use of the word "round".  With regard to size, the witness states that it was: "Rounded front part was about size of thumb" (at arm's length), so the bolide was clearly large in size.

I'm still struggling to find any photos or videos of the event, so if you should find any, please let me know?

Thank you.

Update 4) Mon-07-Mar-2015, 19Z43.

Second confirmation that the 8:15 pm is a distinct and separate (and I believe to be space-trash at this point) event - compared to the slightly later 20:26 event (which looks like a proper fireball).  Second witness suggests that the space-trash landed east of route 101 - after coming-in at a steep angle.


No media coverage??

---

Update 3) Mon-07-Mar-2016, 18Z53.

Well, it seems that at least one of the California events was something man-made re-entering our atmosphere.  I've also had a report by e-mail of a potentially earlier event - around 8:10pm Pacific Time.  Here's the first video I've seen of what I strongly suspect is NOT a meteor/meteorite (at least for one of the California sightings).

Posted to Youtube by "Turtle Poster": 645 views.

Update 2) Mon-07-Mar-2016, 09:10 GMT

The first video has surfaced on YouTube.

---

Update 1 ) Mon-07-Mar-2016, 08:26 GMT

It looks like 2 events, 2 hours apart.  Initial reports are that the California fireball' was very large, although the 15-20 seconds sighting-length of the CA event suggests space-trash?  More data needed, please!

a) Texas, 20:45 Central Time / 02:45GMT
b) California, 20:25 Pacific Time / 04:25 GMT

I've checked by telephone with Vandenburg AF Base and they were not aware of any launches etc.

AMS' pending queue does not reflect the traffic that LunarMeteoriteHunters has been receiving, but AMS has both events in pending status.

END UPDATE

---

Website traffic & a couple of e-mails suggest that there's been a major event over California USA on Sunday evening at +/- 8:30PM local time, with a second report from Dallas, TX for a similar time (don't know whether the events are related/same at this point).

If you witnessed this event and/or have images / video which you are happy to be posted (with credit) here on Lunar Meteorite Hunters website/blog, then please e-mail meteordetective@gmail.com with the following information, if possible.

1) Time and location of sighting

2) Angle from observer to the object in the sky - i.e. 90 deg. = overhead to 0 deg. = ground-level.

3) Estimated elevation/height of the object(s)

4) Apparent direction of travel: decent angle (e.g. 45 deg. down) + azimuth (N to S etc)

5) Estimated size of the object(s) - using your thumb/thumbnail at arm's length as a comparison.

6) Velocity:  How many seconds to cross what portion (e.g. 1/2) of the sky

7) Brightness - (see http://www.icq.eps.harvard.edu/MagScale.html for specific examples).
