 Meteors Fire in the Sky :History Channel: 2/18/2007

If you collect Meteorites, watch meteor showers or wonder about comets and 
asteroids hitting the earth you need to watch on the History channel. Again it 
was on last night (my wife told me  it was coming later that night ) but this 
time I saw it was not posted in the paper. So I waited  . Once again I watched 
the whole thing and took notes this time and videotaping
**
*Asteroid impact killing dinosaur debate
* Bob Haag the Meteorite Guy
* The info about the so  called meteorite object in Mecca that  Moslems 
revere (interesting the video showed the metal enclosure but not the meteorite 
object that the Moslems can peer into and touch. It is said to be an object from 
the days of the first man Adam and was once white but since has darkened to 
black with all the sins  and touchings by Moslems)
* First known witnessed fall and recovery of meteorite in Eisensheim in 
France in 1492 (yes  the date Columbus went to America). Fireball seen by 12 year 
old and recovered after it  hit in field.
* Cape York huge meteorite transported from Greenland (340 tons) most of 
which is still at the Hayden Planetarium in NYC
****
* Notes on Tunguska 1908
* Meteor crater in AZ (the impact turned the iron into iron gas that made the 
crater(
* The astronomical impact of planetary scientist   Shoemaker on defining AZ 
crater as an impact crater, laying the foundation of other impact craters while 
searching in Germany for an impact that took place 15 million years ago
* finding the impact deposit of Iridium from Asteroid impact, significance 
and the Yucatan smoking gun crater where the asteroid hit that caused  the 
demise of the dinosaurs
*  Asteroid Eros photos, touchdown

and more
Well done, informative, great visuals, video and more
History, science and much more
