НОВОСИБИРСК, 27 июл - РИА новости. Жители Якутии передали на исследование ученым из Института космофизических исследований и аэрономии им. Ю.Г. Шафера (ИКФИА) Сибирского отделения РАН небольшой метеорит, весом около 200 граммов, упавший около месяца назад недалеко от села Улах-Ан в Якутии, сообщает в понедельник Центр общественных связей СО РАН.

По информации Центра, ведущий научный сотрудник ИКФИА СО РАН Владимир Козлов сообщил, что метеорит будет отправлен на исследования в лабораторию метеоритики Института геохимии и аналитической химии имени В.И. Вернадского (Москва).

"Пока о метеорите можно сказать только то, что он не радиоактивен - мы замерили радиоактивность, и она оказалась в пределах нормы, что он не магнитный - компас на него не реагирует, следовательно в составе нет железа. Метеорит оплавленный, слегка пахнет гарью", - сказал Козлов.

В сообщении также отмечается, что, по словам местных жителей, которые не только обнаружили упавший с неба камень, но и стали свидетелями его падения, найденный метеорит был еще теплым.

Как сообщают местные СМИ, около месяца метеорит хранил у себя дома местный житель.

Всего на территории Якутии официально было зафиксировано восемь случаев падения метеоритов.

Un meteorito de 144 kilos despertó a los vecinos de Molina

A las 2:45 horas de hoy se han cumplido 150 años del impacto del mayor meteorito caído en España, según informa la Plataforma multimedia de comunicación científica de la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología.

ESPAÑA, julio 26.- El meteorito, el más grande de la península ibérica, cayó a las 2:45 horas de la Nochebuena de 1858, y hoy puede verse en el museo nacional de ciencias naturales de Madrid.

Las crónicas relatan que inicialmente quienes lo vieron creyeron que iba a tocar la torre de la catedral de Murcia, pero "pasó por encima...y recorrió tres leguas más, salvando esta ciudad y su término", y el impacto se produjo en un bancal de cebada de Molina de Segura, con tal sacudida que levantó a los vecinos de sus camas, como relata Rafael Martínez Fortúm, en cuya parcela cayó el meteorito.

Los expertos lo catalogan como una condrina H5 por su alto contenido en hierro y por el grado de alteración sufrido, es decir, un meteorito rocoso procedente de la solidificación de polvo y gas de la nebulosa solar primigenia que dio origen al Sistema Solar.

En la madrugada de la Nochebuena de 1858 "las personas que estaban en las calles, en los caminos y en los campos vieron aparecer un magnífico globo de fuego de una brillantez extraordinaria y deslumbradora, que ostentando los colores del arco iris, oscureció la luz de la luna y descendió majestuosamente desde las regiones aéreas". Así se recoge en un informe encargado por Rafael Martínez Fortún, vecino del municipio murciano de Molina de Segura, en cuya hacienda cayó el mayor meteorito recogido en España.

Este es el relato de este vecino: "Se oyó de repente un gran ruido parecido al que produce la electricidad en las nubes y las personas que estaban en las calles, en los caminos y en los campos, vieron aparecer un magnífico globo de fuego de una brillantez extraordinaria y deslumbradora que ostentando los colores del arco iris oscurecía la luz de la luna, y descendió majestuosamente desde las regiones aéreas, atravesando nuestro horizonte en dirección oblicua del Mediodía a Norte".

Más tarde, segando la cebada, a un labrador le llamó la atención un hoyo y escarbando encontró una piedra de figura cuadrangular, color negruzco y de un peso extraordinario comparado con su volumen, pues tenía diez arrobas y quince libras, lo cual le llamó la atención.

Actualmente una reproducción del meteorito se puede contemplar en el Aula de la Naturaleza que la concejala de Medio Ambiente del Ayuntamiento de Molina de Segura tiene en la pedanía del Rellano de Molina.

A meteorite 150 years ago of 144 kilos woke neighbors Molina at 2:45 pm today have been completed 150 years of the largest meteorite impact crash in Spain, according to the multimedia platform of scientific communication in the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology.

SPAIN, July 26 .- The meteorite, the largest in the Iberian Peninsula, fell at 2:45 hours on Christmas Eve 1858, and today can be seen at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid.

The chronicles relate that those who saw him initially thought he was going to play the tower of the Cathedral of Murcia, but "passed over ... and walked three more miles, saving the city and its boundaries, and the impact occurred in a bench barley Molina de Segura, with such a jolt that lifted the neighbors from their beds, as reported Fortum Rafael Martinez, in whose land fell meteorito.Los experts categorized as a condrina H5 because of its high iron content and the degree of alteration suffered, ie, a rocky meteor from the solidification of dust and gas from the primeval solar nebula that gave rise to the System Solar.En the morning of Christmas Eve, 1858 "People on the streets, in the roads and fields saw a magnificent show of a fire balloon extraordinary brilliance and dazzling, which holds the colors of the rainbow, obscured the moonlight and descended majestically from the air regions. This is reflected in a report commissioned by Rafael Martinez Fortun Murcian neighboring town of Molina de Segura, whose wealth fell in the largest meteorite collected in España.Este this is the story of neighbor: "They suddenly heard a noise similar to producing electricity in the clouds and people in the streets, roads and fields, they saw a magnificent show of a globe of fire dazzling brilliance and extraordinary showing that the rainbow obscured by moonlight and decreased air majestically from regions across our horizon in the direction of the oblique Noon to North. "

This is the story of the neighbor: "We suddenly heard a noise similar to that produced electricity in the clouds and people in the streets, roads and fields, they saw a great show balloon fire a dazzling brilliance and extraordinary showing that the rainbow obscured the moonlight, and fell majestically carriers from regions across our horizon in the direction of the oblique Noon to north. Later segando barley is a labrador drew attention to digging a hole and found a stone figure quadrangular blackish color and a special weight compared to their volume, arrobas since I was ten and fifteen pounds, which he called the atención.Actualmente reproduction of a meteorite can be seen in Nature's Classroom to the councilor of the Municipality of Environment Molina de Segura is on top of the parish of Molina.

Jupiter Impact News- Gemini Catches Jupiter`s Whack 24JUL09

Surprise Collision on Jupiter Captured by Gemini Telescope

Jupiter is sporting a glowing bruise after getting unexpectedly whacked by a
small solar system object, according to astronomers using the Gemini North
telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawai'i. A spectacular new mid-infrared image is
available for download.

The new feature on Jupiter was first seen by Australian amateur astronomer
Anthony Wesley on July 19th. The object that caused the impact scar could
have been a small comet or asteroid. Using the SL9 impacts as a guide, the
impacting object was probably just a few hundreds of meters in diameter.
Such small bodies are nearly impossible to detect near or beyond Jupiter
unless they reveal cometary activity, or, as in this case, make their
presence known by impacting a giant planet. The impact site is dark in
visible-wavelength images.

With the superb angular resolution of the Gemini observations, the data show
the impact site in remarkable detail. "The structure of the impact site is
eerily reminiscent of the larger Shoemaker-Levy 9 sites 15 years ago,"
remarked Heidi Hammel (Space Science Institute), who was part of the team
that supported the effort at Gemini. In 1994, Hammel led the Hubble Space
Telescope team that imaged Jupiter when it was pummeled by a shattered
comet. "The morphology is suggestive of an arc-like structure in the
feature's debris field," Hammel noted.

"We utilized the powerful mid-infrared capabilities of the Gemini telescope
to record the impact's effect on Jupiter's upper atmosphere," said Imke de
Pater (University of California, Berkeley). "At these wavelengths we receive
thermal radiation (heat) from the planet's upper atmosphere. The impact site
is clearly much warmer than its surroundings, as shown by our image taken at
an infrared wavelength of 18 microns."

The Gemini images were obtained with the MICHELLE spectrograph/imager,
yielding a series of images at 7 different mid-infrared wavelengths. Two of
the images (8.7 and 9.7 microns) were combined into a color composite image
by Travis Rector at the University of Alaska, Anchorage to create the final
false-color image. By using the full set of Gemini images taken over a range
of wavelengths from 8 to 18 microns, the team will be able to disentangle
the effects of temperature, ammonia abundance, and upper atmospheric aerosol
content. Comparing these Gemini observations with past and future images
will permit the team to study the evolution of features as Jupiter's strong
winds disperse them.

"The Gemini support staff made a heroic effort to get these data," said de
Pater. "We were on the telescope observing within 24 hours of contacting the
observatory." Because of the transient nature of this event, the telescope
was scheduled as a "Target of Opportunity" and required staff to react
quickly to the request. Tom Geballe and Chad Trujillo helped plan the
observations, Rachel Mason programmed the observing plan for MICHELLE and
the telescope, and Paul Hirst performed the observations. Additional members
of the team are Glenn Orton and Leigh Fletcher from the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory.

The Gemini Observatory is operated by the Association of Universities for
Research in Astronomy, Inc., under a cooperative agreement with the NSF on
behalf of the Gemini partnership: the National Science Foundation (United
States), the Science and Technology Facilities Council (United Kingdom), the
National Research Council (Canada), CONICYT (Chile), the Australian Research
Council (Australia), Ministio da Cicia e Tecnologia (Brazil), and SECYT
(Argentina)

This mid-infrared composite image was obtained with the Gemini North
telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i, on 22 July at ~13:30 UT with the MICHELLE
mid-infrared spectrograph/imager. The impact site is the bright yellow spot
at the center bottom of Jupiter's disk. The image was constructed from two
images: one at 8.7 micron (blue) and one at 9.7 micron (yellow). The
excellent quality of the Gemini images reveals that the morphology of this
new impact bears a striking resemblance to that of the larger impact sites
seen after the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter in 1994.
