Tusk prompts Grondine to query Napier on Dark, Dead comets and the effort to find them

From E.P. Grondine on Meteorite List: Following a quote at https://cosmictusk.com from astronomer Bill Napier on the abilities of WISE to detect dead comet fragments, I wrote him asking him about it. As his reply also deals with some meteorites' parent bodies (Tagish Lake being prominent) and the composition of comet cores, I think meteorite list participants should find it of interest, and here…

Here is a good looking television show I missed the first time around.  I watched several substantial clips on the the webpage and it appears well done (if a tad bit overwrought like most science TV). I have long cheered the work of Ted Bryant, Dallas Abbott,  Slava Gusiakov, Marie-Agnes Courty, Dee Berger, Bruce Masse and the rest.  As many readers will know, their efforts dovetail neatly with…

From Man and Impacts in the Americas by E.P. Grondine. See here for Ed’s Dead Car Special! SOME OF FIRST PEOPLES’ ACCOUNTS OF THE YD IMPACTS As far as the 10,900 BCE comet impact event, many of the peoples remembered it.

New WISE space telescope finds nine dark comets -- and one black comet -- in six weeks

This is not breaking news, but rather a brief breakdown of information gleaned from David Shiga’s great New Scientist article last week regarding the findings of the recently launched WISE infrared space telescope.   The information from the article, though unattributed, is presumably from the mission scientists themselves: In its first six weeks of observations, it has discovered 16…

Dead Car Special!: E.P. Grondine offering great book at great price

I am sorry to report that impact researcher, and friend to many on the internet, E.P.

What E.P. can do…
