Patagonia site of world's biggest crater field: study

(AFP) – 19 hours ago

BUENOS AIRES — Argentina can lay claim to the world's largest crater field, a
volcanic area in Patagonia known as the "Devil's Slope," according to a study
released Tuesday.

Covering 400 square kilometers (154 square miles), the Bajada del Diablo field
is peppered with at least 100 depressions left by the collisions of meteorites
or comets 130,000 to 780,000 years ago, the study found.

"Each crater measures between 100 and 500 meters (yards) in diameter and is
between 30 and 50 meters deep, which makes it the biggest such field in the
world in terms of the size of the craters," said Rogelio Acevedo of the Southern
Center for Scientific Investigations.

The study, published in the September edition of the journal Geomorphology, was
led by Acevedo and Hugo Corbella, who first identified the field in the 1970s.

Thirty years later, the team obtained financing from the Argentine province of
Chubut and the National Geographic Society to survey the field.

In terms of the number of craters, the field is only the second largest in the
world after the Sikhote-Aalin field in Siberia, which has 159 craters.

"But in Siberia the craters are smaller," Acevedo said.

With just one impact of the size that struck Patagonia, he said, Buenos Aires
"would be pulverized in a matter of seconds."

He said the field's craters, which are visible on Google Earth, are similar to
those found on the Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus, making them worthy of further
study.

They are well preserved because the remote sheep-raising region in which they
are found is arid and sparsely populated, he said, adding that it will be
necessary to protect it from tourists.

But Acevedo suggested, "this exceptional place could become a natural park."

Argentina has another crater field, called Campo de Cielo, in the northern Chaco
province. There are only nine such fields in the world.

Meteor/Meteorite News- LCROSS Lunar Impact Targeted 9SEP09

NASA SELECTS TARGET CRATER FOR LUNAR IMPACT OF LCROSS SPACECRAFT

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. -- NASA has identified the spot where it will
search for water on the moon. Reporters are invited to attend the
announcement of the target location where the Lunar Crater
Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, and its spent Centaur
rocket will hit in October. The briefing will take place at 10 a.m.
PDT, Friday, Sept. 11, in the main auditorium, Building N201, of
NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. The event will
be broadcast live on NASA Television and the agency's Web site.

The selected crater is an optimal target for evaluating if water ice
exists at the lunar south pole. Briefing participants are Daniel
Andrews, LCROSS project manager, Anthony Colaprete, LCROSS principal
investigator, and Jennifer Heldmann, lead for the LCROSS observation
campaign.

Andrews will provide an update about the health of the spacecraft and
mission activities. Colaprete will announce the target crater and
explain the criteria and selection process. Heldmann will discuss the
LCROSS observation campaign in which an international cadre of
professional and amateur astronomers will view the impacts at 4:30
a.m. on Oct. 9.

To reach Ames, take U.S. Highway 101 to the Moffett Field/NASA Parkway
exit and drive east on Moffett Field Boulevard toward the main gate.
News media will be escorted from the visitor badge office parking lot
to the main auditorium at 9:45 a.m. Journalists seeking telephone
access should contact Jonas Dino at 650-604-5612 or
jonas.dino@nasa.gov.

Huge 'sky explosion' investigated
Jupiter and its rings
Jupiter is currently the brightest star is in the night sky

An Irish astronomy group is calling for help in tracing the origin of a huge explosion in the skies over the country on Thursday evening.

BBC News-

Astronomy Ireland said it was currently investigating the explosion, which occurred at 2100 BST.

A spokesman said the most likely explanation was a space rock or satellite crashing into the atmosphere.

The group wants anyone who witnessed the event to contact its website at www.astronomy.ie

Astronomy Ireland chairman David Moore said: "So far, reports have been registered by residents in west Cork, Kerry, Cavan and as far north as Donegal, thus suggesting that this spectacular event may have been witnessed by people all over the country.

"In the past two decades there have been two major explosions in the skies over Ireland.

"When we investigated these, we were able to conclude that one was a Russian military satellite that exploded over the country, and the other was a rock from space which we predicted would have fallen on Carlow and this rock was indeed found, becoming the last meteorite fall of the millennium."

Mr Moore said the explosion should not be confused with a hugely-bright star which was positioned just below the full moon on Thursday night.

"This was actually the planet Jupiter and it can be characterised by being by far the brightest star in the entire night sky," he said.
