Possible Meteorite in 'Columbia Hills' on Mars
June 9, 2006

The rock in the center foreground of this picture is suspected of being
an iron meteorite. The panoramic camera on NASA's Mars Exploration
Rover
Spirit took this image during the rover's 809th Martian day (April 12,
2006). The foreground rock, informally named "Allan Hills," and a
similar rock called "Zhong Shan," just out of the field of view to the
left, have a smoother texture and lighter tone than other rocks in the
area.

The texture and glossiness of this pair reminded some members of the
rover science team of a rock called "Heat Shield Rock," which was
observed by Opportunity, Spirit's twin, in the Meridiani region of Mars
more than a year ago. Examination of that rock's composition confirmed
it to be an iron meteorite (see PIA07269
<http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA07269>.)

Observations of Allan Hills and Zhong Shan with Spirit's miniature
thermal emission spectrometer indicate that they are very reflective,
like Heat Shield Rock. They are the first likely meteorites found by
Spirit.

Rocks in the vicinity of Spirit's winter station are being assigned
informal names honoring Antarctic research stations. Zhong Shan is an
Antarctic base established by China in 1989. Allan Hills is a site
where
meteorites are frequently collected because they are relatively easy to
see as dark rocks on the bright Antarctic ice. The most famous Allan
Hills meteorite from Antarctica actually came from Mars and landed on
Earth. If the Zhong Chang and Allan Hills rocks seen by Spirit do turn
out to be iron-rich meteorites, they may have originated from an
asteroid and landed on Mars.

This view is an approximately true-color rendering that combines images
taken through the panoramic camera's 753-nanometer, 535-nanometer, and
432-nanometer filters. It is a portion of an image previously released
(see PIA08095 <http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA08095>).

Journey through a White Hole update

Cruel people have no clue on their actions of attacking people in
public.

Cruel companies have no clue on their actions of neglecting privacy in
public.

Cruel people do not hear words, like when I said: mmy mother reads
this group.

Cruel people are relentless psychopaths.

I have consulted a lawyer, and he said: Only large law firms are
capable of standing up to Google and he has never seen a corporate
lawsuit where one wins without lawyers. This is big bucks world.

One of the perfect reasons the hunchbacks felt that they should
leave Earth and go on a journey through a white hole in the
center of our Milky Way, and pissing on Earth from space
before they leave. Its kind of cold in space, but it can
be arranged.

Its a psychotic human rights violation that one cannot win a
case without lawyers and having been declared as invalid,
and always treated as that, in the big world. You know, republican
logic. In the big world. Where is human rights? In the real world?
I could sue them for a dollar that they violate privacy by forcing
archivals of chats made from home and I would lose the case.
Sure, the big guys would laugh that I believed that I made a
difference, like they care. The idea is to make them care
and make me happy.
