Brilliant site, heaps of images!

I remember reading somewhere the ancient arab (before islam) tradition is the 'angel gabriel' had six hundred (or was it six thousand) wings...
Just like this one!
COMET WHISKERS:
This enhanced composite image detailing structure in the coma and dust tail of Hale-Bopp was recorded one day before the comet's passage from north to south across the plane of Earth's orbit. Whisker-like structures, probably part of the ion tail, are visible above extending from the lower left of the bright coma. Along with Southern Hemisphere observers, astronomers and a fleet of spacecraft of the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics program had been anxiously awaiting this north/south crossing. The comet's interaction with the changing equatorial solar wind and magnetic field during this crossing was expected to produce distortions and disconnections of Hale-Bopp's ion tail. (Image: T.

For the description of a trek to the Libyan location follow "Meteorite Man" Bob Haag here: Libya Those wishing to learn more can find lots of good info at Tektites and Tektite Lore
Thanks.
Thanks Fred.
Yup. Tektites. IIRC, there was a SciAm article about it years back.
The study of glass is actually a very interesting part of geology. Turns out every volcano produces as part of the ash, it's own very, very specific kind of glass particles.
I forget the fellows name, but he is an expert in just about every ash-producing eruption for the last 5 centuries or so... and it was his work, in part, that identified Toba as the event it was.
There's a great deal of fascinating information about obsidian here: OBSIDIAN
"But a chemical analysis showed that the glass was created in temperatures so high that they could only have been the result of a meteorite impact."
As you can see this glass "could only" have been the "result" of a "meteorite impact".
"only" rules out nuclear. In other words, according to the article, a nuclear event could not create the glass at issue.
Are you saying that this fundamental fact, as affirmatively asserted by the author of this pience, is not true.
Why would they lie?
Nope, you must be wrong. A nuclear event could not create such glass otherwise this respected, established, academically acclaimed, thorough study of the subject would be laughable to the extent it fails to get even the most basic of facts correct.
Therefore, I submit, that you, Non VAlue Added, are misleading people and misinforming people.
Now, I've given you a lead. Have at it.
For those you you in Rio Linda, post #5 was projecting today's events of scientists trying to divine what happened 100,000 to 200,000 years ago from bits of glass in the sand against future events 100,000 to 200,000 years hence, with scientints tying to divine from similar clues what will surely happen within the remainder of the current decade. The 12 Monkeys tag is the lead.
"Can't you recognize cynical prophesy"
Nam Drol Doog,
I was in fact agreeing with your sentiments and in so agreeing thought to give you a straw man to use as a platform for further explanation of your 12 Monkey take.
Additionally, I thought the article's assertion that it could only have been a meteorite was irresponsible and patently untrue. I thought to use cynical sarcasm to make this point.
Perhaps this bundling of narrative styles amalgamated as "cynically prophetic sarcasm" and resulted in a complete "failure to communicate".
Hope xmas was good to you.
