"The fact is that the overwhelming
majority of these
[near-Earth] objects are not large. The
big ones come once every
100 million years or so. What we have to
worry about are the
middle sized ones big enough to destroy
a city, but not
the world. If the one in Siberia in
[1908] had hit a big city it
would be a major disaster. That could be
dealt with by ordinary
civil defense measures, such as taking
the people out in time. If
you had the organization in place you
could get people out quite
easily in a week. It would destroy the
buildings but not kill the
people. That's the kind of danger we're
actually dealing with, I
think, and it could be dealt with by
this kind of defense far more
effectively than trying to knock the
asteroid out of the sky which
you could only do if you had a very long
time."

(1) FREEMAN DYSON ON IMPACTS, TUNGUSKAS & RELIGION
From Alan Boyle <alan.boyle@MSNBC.COM>
Dear Benny:
Freeman Dyson had some intriguing things to say on the Tunguska
question (and lots of other topics) during an MSNBC chat Tuesday.
Your
CCNet community might be interested in taking a look at this
transcript
... being aware, of course, that typos (such as the date of
Tunguska)
may creep in during the transcription process:
http://bbs.msnbc.com/bbs/msnbc-transcripts/posts/er/446.asp
MODERATOR’S NOTE: It would appear that Freeman Dyson’s
comments during
MSNBC's online chat do not actually address the problem of
avoiding the
impact of "middle sized" asteroids. Instead, he focuses
on relatively
small NEOs in the Tunguska class. Obviously, there would be no
need for
planetary defense efforts if we're to gamble the future of our
current
civilisation on this class of small impactors only. Yet decision
makers
would be well advised not to underestimate the societal and
economic
distress around the globe as a result of a collision with on
object in
the 200 - 500 meter range.

(2) SUPERNOVA DEBRIS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
From PSR DISCOVERIES, 28 March 2000
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/PSRdiscoveries/Mar00/supernovaDebris.html
Written by G. Jeffrey Taylor
Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology
Meteorites contain clear evidence that isotopes with short half
lives
(as short as 100,000 years) were present in the cloud of gas and
dust
(the called solar nebula) from which the Sun and planets formed.
Supernovae, the powerful explosions of spent stars, produce
elements,
including short-lived radioactive isotopes. Given the short
lifetimes, these elements must have been added immediately before
solids formed in the Solar System, and it is possible that a
supernova triggered the collapse of the vast interstellar cloud
in
which the Solar System formed. However, there is some evidence
that
two isotopes, aluminum-26 and manganese-53, were not distributed
uniformly in the solar nebula. If correct, does this mean that
the
supernova debris was not mixed thoroughly into the collapsing
interstellar cloud? This possibility was tested by Robert H.
Nichols,
Frank Podosek, and Cristine Jennings (Washington University in
St.
Louis) and Brad Meyer (Clemson University). They evaluated how
thoroughly supernova products were mixed into the solar nebula by
searching for the effects on the isotopic make up of other
elements.
They conclude that the explosive products of a supernova would
have
been mixed uniformly into the nebula. Thus, either the evidence
of
heterogeneous distribution of short-lived isotopes is incorrect,
or
some isotopes were not formed in a supernova, but came from
somewhere
else. This research project is one of many that link studies of
meteorites, astronomical observations, and astrophysical
calculations.

SPIEGEL TV THEMENABEND
Vor allem durch Hollywoodfilme wie "Deep Impact" und
"Armageddon" sind
Kometen und Asteroiden als potenzielle Bedrohung der Erde ins
Blickfeld
der Öffentlichkeit geraten. Aber was ist wirklich dran an den
inszenierten Katastrophenszenarios?
Ist unser Planet tatsächlich eine "kosmische
Schießbude", wie es ein
Wissenschaftler der Nasa formulierte? Oder ist alles lediglich
eine
übertriebene Panikmache? Tatsache ist, dass die Erde im Verlauf
ihrer
Geschichte immer wieder von Asteroiden und Kometen getroffen
wurde.
Inzwischen gilt es als gesichert, dass durch einen
Asteroideneinschlag
ein nuklearer Winter ausgelöst wurde, der die Ursache für das
Aussterben
der Dinosaurier war. 1908 explodierte über der sibirischen
Tundra ein
Asteroid mit einer Sprengkraft, die die der Atombombe von
Hiroshima um
das Tausendfache übertraf. Die Druckwelle fällte den
Baumbestand in
einem Umkreis von 3600 Quadratkilometern. Auch heute prallen in
unregelmäßigen Abständen Geschosse auf die Erdoberfläche oder
verglühen
beim Eintritt in die Atmosphäre. Ist es also nur eine Frage der
Zeit bis
zur nächsten großen Kollision? Sicher erscheint nur, dass der
Aufprall
eines Objekts entsprechenden Ausmaßes apokalyptische
Verwüstungen nach
sich ziehen könnte.
Astronomen und Impaktforscher aus aller Welt beschäftigen sich
seit
Jahren verstärkt mit dieser Thematik. In Tagungen, Projekten und
Veröffentlichungen werden Wahrscheinlichkeiten, Folgen und
Abwehrmaßnahmen eines drohenden Asteroideneinschlags auf der
Erde
diskutiert. Selbst die Nasa hat ein eigenes Komitee für die
Überwachung
der erdnahen Objekte eingerichtet, von denen sich vermutlich
Tausende im
All befinden, jedoch erst geschätzte zehn Prozent entdeckt sind.
Besteht
also doch eine reale Gefahr für unseren Planeten?
Eingeleitet wird der Themenabend durch den ersten Teil des
Katastrophenfilms "Asteroids - Tod aus dem Weltall".
Anschließend
dokumentiert SPIEGEL TV in Hintergrundberichten und
Studiogesprächen die
Ergebnisse und Kontroversen der Asteroidenforschung.

(5) PLANET HUNTERS ON TRAIL OF WORLDS SMALLER THAN SATURN

RELEASE: 00-47
PLANET HUNTERS ON TRAIL OF WORLDS SMALLER THAN SATURN
Planet-hunting astronomers have crossed
an important
threshold in planet detection, with the discovery of two planets
that may be smaller in mass than Saturn.
Of the 30 extrasolar planets around
Sun-like stars detected
previously, all have been the size of Jupiter or larger.
The
existence of these Saturn-sized candidates suggests that many
stars harbor smaller planets, in addition to the Jupiter-sized
ones.
Finding Saturn-sized planets reinforces
the theory that
planets form by a snowball effect of growth from small ones to
large, in a star-encircling dust disk. The 20-year-old theory
predicts there should be more smaller planets than large planets,
and this is a trend the researchers are beginning to see in their
data.
"It's like looking at a beach from
a distance," explained
Geoff Marcy of the University of California at Berkeley.
"Previously we only saw the large boulders, which were
Jupiter-
sized planets or larger. Now we are seeing the 'rocks,' Saturn-
sized planets or smaller. We still don't have the
capability of
detecting Earth-like planets, which would be equivalent to seeing
pebbles on the beach."
Jupiter alone is three times the mass of
Saturn. This has
left the nagging possibility open that some of the extrasolar
planets might really be stillborn stars, called brown dwarfs,
which would form like stars through the collapse of a gas cloud.
But now researchers are better assured these "Jupiters"
are only
the tip of the iceberg, and there are many more planets to be
found that are the mass of Saturn or smaller.
"Now we are confident we are seeing
a distinctly different
population of bodies that formed out of dust disks like the disks
Hubble Space Telescope has imaged around stars," said Marcy.
The discovery was made by planet-sleuths
Marcy, Paul Butler
of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and Steve Vogt of the
University of California, Santa Cruz, using the mighty Keck
telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. They discovered a planet at least
80 percent the mass of Saturn orbiting 3.8 million miles from the
star HD46375, 109 light-years away in the constellation
Monoceros,
and a planet 70 percent the mass of Saturn orbiting 32.5 million
miles around the star 79 Ceti (also known as HD16141), located
117
light-years away in the constellation Cetus.
These planets are very close to their
stars and so have short
orbits. They whirl around their parent stars with periods of 3.02
days and 75 days respectively. This allowed for their relatively
rapid discovery.
The astronomers detected the small
wobble of a star caused by
the gravitational tug of the unseen planets. For the past five
years Marcy and Butler have used this technique successfully to
catalog 21 extrasolar planets. Boosted by the light-gathering
power of Keck, they have steadily increased the precision of
their
measurements so they can look for the gravitational effects of
ever-smaller bodies. In this latest detection, the change in a
star's velocity -- rhythmically moving toward and then away from
Earth -- is only 36 feet per second, a little faster than a human
sprints.
The Saturn-mass planets are presumably
gas giants, made
mostly of primordial hydrogen and helium, rather than the rocky
material Earth is made of. They are so close to their parent
stars
they are extremely hot, and are not abodes for life as we know
it.
The planet orbiting 79 Ceti has an average temperature of 1530
degrees Fahrenheit (830 degrees Celsius). The planet orbiting
HD46375 has an average temperature of 2070 degrees Fahrenheit
(1130 degrees Celsius).
They probably formed at a farther
distance from the star,
where they could accumulate cool gas, and then migrated into
their
present orbits. Along the way they would have disrupted the
orbits
of any smaller terrestrial planets like Earth. These
"marauding"
gas giants seem more the rule than the exception among the
planets
surveyed so far, because Marcy and Butler's detection technique
favors finding massive planets in short-period orbits. This seems
to be the case for approximately six percent of the stars
surveyed
so far.
Their research is part of a multi-year
project to look for
wobbles among 1,100 stars within 300 light-years of Earth. The
project is supported by NASA and the National Science Foundation.

EAST GERMAN MP WARNS OF NEW ARMS RACE
Washington (AFP) March 28, 2000 -
The leader of Germany's delegation to the NATO parliamentary
assembly
warned Tuesday that US plans for a national missile defense
system
(NMD) will lead to a new international arms race.
"Even if an agreement with Russia is found, the system will
lead to an
increased arms race with other nations like China," Markus
Meckel, a
member of the German Bundestag and of Berlin's ruling Social
Democratic
party, told journalists during his visit here.
He also warned that the plan endangered cohesion within the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization, especially since the European
allies
so far had not been consulted on the project.

(7) VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT FOR MANNED MISSION TO ALPHA CENTAURI
From Tom Gehrels <tgehrels@LPL.Arizona.EDU>
Dear Benny,
Are your readers aware of an opportunity to volunteer for a
manned mission
to Alpha Centauri in the 2011 - 2045 time frame? Professor
C. de Jager
and astronaut Wubbo Ockels are some of the people behind this
rather
classified venture. They are, however, soliciting volunteers. I
guess this is to find out if there indeed would be candidates
willing to do it. Many people have already volunteered, but it is
still open until the winners will be announced at the end of this
week. Further information is in http://www.12move.nl/space

impress my class with my enormous store of up-to-date knowledge.
I
shall be teaching Pluto on Thursday - can it be hoped that before
then
someone will post something new and fascinating about that object
(I
daren't call it a planet) so that I can impress my class yet
further,
with little preparation?

(9) FOLLOW-UP ON PANSPERMIA
From Brig Klyce <bklyce@panspermia.org>
Dear Benny --
After Jon Richfield's article on panspermia appeared on CCNet, he
contacted me. We subsequently exchanged about 15 e-mails
altogether on
the subject. The exchange stalled when we were unable to agree on
a
definition of "progress" in evolution, nor on a
definition of "open
system." The dialog may still be useful as an example
of the
difficulties that arise when representatives of totally different
paradigms attempt to communicate. I have posted the e-mails on
the
Internet at http://www.panspermia.org/replies3b.htm.
The exchange has
been edited lightly, mostly to reduce white space and delete
housekeeping matters, until the end (when I became exasperated!).
I
would be glad to hear from other participants in your group with
information about how evolutionary progress analogous to life's
is
possible in a closed system. Thanks.

PAOLO FARINELLA (1953 - 2000)
From Mario Carpino <carpino@brera.mi.astro.it>
Dear friends,
Paolo Farinella died on Saturday morning, at Bergamo hospital.
After
the heart attack and the transplant of last month (February 8),
his
conditions have been progressively decaying, up to the tragic
epilogue
of last week.
On Tuesday, 27 March he was carried from Bergamo to S. Frediano
(the
village near Pisa where he was living), where he was buried
without
funeral ceremonies (according to his last will).
An informal commemoration is being organized by his colleagues
and
friends for next Sunday (April 2) in Pisa:
"We would like to remember him in the way he would have
preferred. A
commemoration which may be also a feast for recalling the moments
we
have spent with him, for remembering how much his presence has
enriched
all of us ..." (words of Paolo Cotta Ramusino).
I enclose also the postal addresses of Paolo's parents and
Clelia,
his wife, for those who wish to send messages of condolense:
Famiglia Farinella, Piazza Castello 11, 26100 Cremona, Italy
Clelia Farinella, Via Palasciano 12, 56026 San Frediano, Cascina

Addition (by Benny J Peiser)
Paolo Farinella was one of Europe's leading asteroid experts. His
impressive and wide-ranging list of resesarch papers on the
nature of
asteroids and their potential to threaten our Earth documents his
involvement in and enormous influence on the NEO research
community
since the early 1980s. (I have attached a list of all his
published
papers since 1981).
Paolo was a member of the Division of Planetary Science of the
American
Astronomical Society and of the International Astronomical Union.
At
the time of his death, he was Associate Editor of two scientific
journals, ICARUS and METEORITICS & PLANETARY SCIENCE.
Asteroid (3248)
Farinella is named after Paolo.
Paolo was also a long-time advocate of international disarmement
and
a member of several peace movements such as the Scientific
Council of
USPID (Unione Scienziati Per Il Disarmo). He was on the Committee
of
the Forum on the Problems of Peace and War and was a member of
the
Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs.
He will be greatly missed by his wife, family and friends as well
as
his colleagues and the entire NEO research community.
