Comet and Meteorite Traditions of Aboriginal Australians
Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures, 2014. Edited by Helaine Selin. Springer Netherlands, preprint. Comet and Meteorite Traditions of Aboriginal Australians Duane W. Hamacher Nura Gili Centre for Indigenous Programs, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, 2052, Australia Email: [email protected] Of the hundreds of distinct Aboriginal cultures of Australia, many have oral traditions rich in descriptions and explanations of comets, meteors, meteorites, airbursts, impact events, and impact craters. These views generally attribute these phenomena to spirits, death, and bad omens. There are also many traditions that describe the formation of meteorite craters as well as impact events that are not known to Western science. Comets Bright comets appear in the sky roughly once every five years. These celestial visitors were commonly seen as harbingers of death and disease by Aboriginal cultures of Australia. In an ordered and predictable cosmos, rare transient events were typically viewed negatively – a view shared by most cultures of the world (Hamacher & Norris, 2011). In some cases, the appearance of a comet would coincide with a battle, a disease outbreak, or a drought. The comet was then seen as the cause and attributed to the deeds of evil spirits. The Tanganekald people of South Australia (SA) believed comets were omens of sickness and death and were met with great fear. The Gunditjmara people of western Victoria (VIC) similarly believed the comet to be an omen that many people would die. In communities near Townsville, Queensland (QLD), comets represented the spirits of the dead returning home. -

VHSL Regionals 2012 Round #4
VHSL Regionals 2012 Round 4 First Period, Fifteen Tossups 1. This author tells of an attack "by three doors left unguarded" as "blue-eyed banditti" climb into his chair. This poet, who immortalized his daughters Alice, Allegra, and Edith in "The Children's Hour," also wrote a long poem set "by the shores of Gitche Gumee." In another poem, he described a character who feels "the secret dread of the lonely belfry and the dead" before sending a signal from the Old North Church. For 10 points, name this American poet of The Song of Hiawatha and "Paul Revere's Ride." ANSWER: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 105-12-55-04101 2. One side in this incident, led by Yellow Bird and Big Foot, was urged to resist because their shirts would protect them from gunfire. The other side in this event was led by James Forsyth. Eighty-three years after this event occurred, Russell Means of the AIM led a seventy-one-day standoff with federal agents at the site of this incident. This event occurred days after Sitting Bull was killed in reaction to the popularity of the Ghost Dance. For 10 points, name this 1890 massacre of about 150 Sioux in South Dakota. ANSWER: Wounded Knee Massacre 131-12-55-04102 3. While living near the town of Templeton, this character clashes with Judge Marmaduke Temple and befriends the young hunter Oliver Edwards. In another novel, this character guides Cora and Alice Munro to their father’s command and kills Magua to avenge the death of his friend Uncas. -

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, th ey are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on th e film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a som ewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. -
Hi This Is Steve Nerlich from Cheap Astronomy and This Is the Dreamtime Meteor Crater
Hi this is Steve Nerlich from Cheap Astronomy www.cheapastro.com and this is The dreamtime meteor crater. The following is an interview between myself and Mr Duane Hamacher who originates from Missouri, but is currently undertaking a PhD at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Duane I understand you have discovered a meteor crater on Google Earth. I imagine that’s a fairly elite club. Do you know how many other people might have achieved that? I know in Australia there were two. The first guy discovered one in 2007, his name was Hickman, so the crater is named Hickman Crater in Western Australia – and last year there was a retired geologist who discovered an impact crater outside White Cliffs, New South Wales. So, I don’t know about the rest of the world, but in Australia I’m actually third in line. Congratulations, that’s quite exciting and I understand there’s a particular story behind your find that involves an Indigenous Australian dreamtime story. Can you tell us about that? Yes, for the last year I’ve been looking at Aboriginal accounts and descriptions of comets, meteors and cosmic impacts in the literature – and I found several that described stars falling out of the sky and crashing to the Earth, in some cases causing death and destruction. In several of the stories, it seemed to indicate that these were actually witnessed – they closely paralleled with scientific explanation. So I decided to look at these areas on Google Maps as some of the stories gave specific locations – or at least we knew the particular Aboriginal community that the story came from. -

Australian Crater 29 June 2018
Image: Australian crater 29 June 2018 together to learn about asteroids, the impact hazard they may pose, and what we can do to protect our planet, families, communities, and future generations from asteroid impacts. It takes place on 30 June each year, which is the anniversary of the largest asteroid impact in recent history, the 1908 Tunguska event in Siberia. This year, ESA is co-hosting a live webcast with the European Southern Observatory packed with expert interviews, news on some of the most recent asteroid science results, and the truth about the dinosaurs. Watch 30 June at 13:00 CEST via Credit: contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data www.esa.int/asteroidday. (2016), processed by ESA, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO Provided by European Space Agency For Asteroid Day, the Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite takes us over the Gosses Bluff crater in the Northern Territory of Australia. The crater is visible in the left centre of the image and it is about 22 km in diameter. It was most likely formed 140 million years ago by the impact of a large comet or meteorite slamming into the surface of Earth. This false-colour image shows an extremely dry area with some vegetation visible in reddish colours along the rivers and lakes. The intense colours of the image represent the mineral composition of the land surface, which is clearly visible owing to the lack of vegetation. Azurite is one of the minerals mined here. A series of low hills and drainage structures can be seen in the lower part of the image, a result of erosion over the years. -
