Topics that are typically covered in such classes include atomic theory, chemical periodicity, ionic and covalent compounds, equation writing, stoi- chiometry, and solutions. While these topics are essential for stu- dents planning to continue their studies in chemistry or the other sciences and teachers are correct in emphasizing their importance, they usually provide only a limited introduction to the rich and ex- citing character of research currently being conducted in the fi eld of chemistry. Many students not planning to continue their studies in chemistry or the other sciences may benefi t from information about areas of chemistry with immediate impact on their daily lives or of general intellectual interest. Indeed, science majors themselves may also benefi t from the study of such subjects. The New Chemistry is a set of six books intended to provide an overview of some areas of research not typically included in the beginning middle or high school curriculum in chemistry. The six books in the set—Chemistry of Drugs, Chemistry of New Materials, Forensic Chemistry, Chemistry of the Environment, Food Chemistry, and Chemistry of Space—are designed to provide a broad, general introduction to some fi elds of chemistry that are less commonly mentioned in standard introductory chemistry courses. They cover topics ranging from the most fundamental fi elds of chemistry, such as the origins of matter and of the universe, to those with impor- tant applications to everyday life, such as the composition of foods vii icsnfm.indd vii 7/30/07 11:12:40 AM viii CHEMISTRY OF SPACE and drugs. The set title The New Chemistry has been selected to emphasize the extensive review of recent research and advances in each of the fi elds of chemistry covered in the set. The books in The New Chemistry set are written for middle school and high school readers. They assume some basic understanding of the principles of chemistry that are generally gained in an introductory middle or high school course in the subject. Every book contains a large amount of material that should be accessible to the interested reader with no more than an introductory understanding of chemistry and a smaller amount of material that may require a more advanced understanding of the subject. The six books that make up the set are independent of each other. That is, readers may approach all of the books in any sequence what- soever. To assist the reader in extending his or her understanding of each subject, each book in the set includes a glossary and a list of additional reading sources from both print and Internet sources. Short bibliographic sketches of important fi gures from each of the six fi elds are also included in the books. icsnfm.indd viii 7/30/07 11:12:40 AM ◆ INTRODUCTION pace and astronomy is the oldest of all sciences. Long before hu- Smans understood the composition of rocks and minerals, knew how chemical reactions take place, or even discovered how their own bodies were constructed and operated, they knew of the exis- tence of bodies beyond the Earth’s atmosphere: other planets, stars, and a variety of strange objects for which they had only simple ex- planations. The knowledge that early astronomers had of the skies was quite remarkable. They were able to predict the motion of stars, the arrival of seasons, the appearance of eclipses, and other astro- nomical phenomena with an accuracy that is quite astonishing to modern scientists. Although it qualifi es as the oldest of all sciences, space and as- tronomy has often been called the most diffi cult. Geologists can pick up and analyze the rocks they would like to study. Chemists can create the conditions under which almost any chemical reaction can be studied. Biologists are able to dissect living organisms and fi nd out how they are composed and how they function, but astronomers have only tiny bits of light with which to study the objects of their fi eld. They must devise ingenious methods for capturing that light and analyzing it in as many ways as possible. The information gained by astronomers using these limited resources is truly amazing. The challenge faced by astrochemists—scientists who study the chemical composition of astronomical bodies and the chemical changes that take place within them—is at least as daunting as it is to researchers in other fi elds of astronomy. They must fi nd ways to interpret the information a beam of light gives about the elements ix icsnfm.indd ix 7/30/07 11:12:40 AM x CHEMISTRY OF SPACE and compounds present in its source—a star or a dust cloud, for ex- ample—where those elements and compounds may have come from originally, and what kinds of chemical changes they are undergoing. Yet astrochemists have managed to deduce an impressive amount of information about our universe, the events through which it was created, the changes that have taken place during its evolution, and its present composition. Some of that information relates to the most basic questions in all of chemistry; for instance, where did funda- mental particles, such as protons and neutrons, come from, and how were the elements created. Although many important facts are still missing, astrochemists are able to respond to these questions and to explain much about how the world we live in has come to be as it is. Astrochemists can also tell us a great deal about the nature of solar bodies that fascinate and intrigue all of us. What is Venus like? Where did the Moon come from? What is the composition of giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn? Can Mars support life? Questions like these that people with little or no background in astronomy are likely to ask can now be answered, to at least some extent. The purpose of Chemistry of Space is to provide an overview of the latest information about the solar system, the planets, comets, and meteors, and other features of our universe that has become available as a result of research in astrochemistry.

Especially the world views of Aristotle of Stagira (384–322 BC) in his 350 BC book Meteorology3 were widely quoted for over two thousand years, embraced by Christian religion, and passionately defended until into the eight- eenth century. The Greeks held that all matter in the Universe is made of the elements ‘‘earth,’’ ‘‘water,’’ ‘‘air,’’ and ‘‘fire.’’ Aristotle was of the opinion that shooting stars, because of their rapid motion, occurred relatively nearby in the realm of the element ‘‘fire’’ above the layer of ‘‘air’’ that is now called our atmosphere. He believed that shooting stars were not caused by the falling of stars, but were caused by thin streams of a warm and dry ‘‘windy exhalation’’ (a mixture of the elements fire and air) that had risen from dry land warmed by the Sun.

    77th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting (2014) 5231.pdf NWA 5000 – ONE OF A KIND? N. Artemieva1,2. 1Planetary Science Institute, [email protected]. 2Instiitute for Dynamics of Geospheres, RAS, Russia. Introduction: The list of lunar meteorites consists of 95 names with the total mass of ~75 kg. The spallation theory [1] and numerical simulations [2-4] allowed to explain the formation of solid high-velocity ejecta and to reconcile the results of nu- merical models with observations. Presence of a porous regolith layer on the Moon decreases at least tenfold the total mass of sol- id escape ejecta because of much lower shock pressures required for shock melting [4]. Projectiles smaller than 10-20 m in diame- ter are able to propel exclusively the regolith (i.e., molten dust with random and unknown inclusions of consolidated breccia or rocks) into space. It means that the contribution of these small cratering events to the flux of lunar meteorites is non-predictable. Larger impact events which are able to excavate underlying megaregolith are statistically unlikely within a short, < 10 kyr, time frame [5]. Thus, one of the biggest (11.5 kg) and the young- est (terrestrial age <10 kyr, [6]) lunar meteorite, NWA 5000 (feldsparic breccia) is a real miracle. Numerical model and initial conditions: High-velocity im- pacts on the Moon are modeled using the 3D hydrocode SOVA [7] complemented by the ANEOS equation of state for geological materials. The lunar regolith porosity is described in the frame of ε-alpha model [8]. Tracer particles are used to find dynamics and thermal history of solid inclusions into the regolith.

  • ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCES in the SILICATE PHASE of PALLASITIC METEORITES Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Roman A
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF THURMAN DALE COOPER for theMASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in CHEMISTRY presented on June 1, 1973 (Major) (Date) Title: ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCES IN THE SILICATE PHASE OF PALLASITIC METEORITES Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Roman A. Schmitt The silicate phases of 11 pallasites were analyzed instrumen- tally to determine the concentrations of some major, minor, and trace elements.The silicate phases were found to contain about 98% olivine with 1 to 2% accessory minerals such as lawrencite, schreibersite, troilite, chromite, and farringtonite present.The trace element concentrations, except Sc and Mn, were found to be extremely low and were found primarily in the accessory phases rather than in the pure olivine.An unusual bimodal Mn distribution was noted in the pallasites, and Eagle Station had a chondritic nor- malized REE pattern enrichedin the heavy REE. The silicate phases of pallasites and mesosiderites were shown to be sufficiently diverse in origin such that separate classifications are entirely justified.

  • The Tennessee Meteorite Impact Sites and Changing Perspectives on Impact Cratering
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND THE TENNESSEE METEORITE IMPACT SITES AND CHANGING PERSPECTIVES ON IMPACT CRATERING A dissertation submitted by Janaruth Harling Ford B.A. Cum Laude (Vanderbilt University), M. Astron. (University of Western Sydney) For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT Terrestrial impact structures offer astronomers and geologists opportunities to study the impact cratering process. Tennessee has four structures of interest. Information gained over the last century and a half concerning these sites is scattered throughout astronomical, geological and other specialized scientific journals, books, and literature, some of which are elusive. Gathering and compiling this widely- spread information into one historical document benefits the scientific community in general. The Wells Creek Structure is a proven impact site, and has been referred to as the ‘syntype’ cryptoexplosion structure for the United State. It was the first impact structure in the United States in which shatter cones were identified and was probably the subject of the first detailed geological report on a cryptoexplosive structure in the United States. The Wells Creek Structure displays bilateral symmetry, and three smaller ‘craters’ lie to the north of the main Wells Creek structure along its axis of symmetry. The question remains as to whether or not these structures have a common origin with the Wells Creek structure. The Flynn Creek Structure, another proven impact site, was first mentioned as a site of disturbance in Safford’s 1869 report on the geology of Tennessee. It has been noted as the terrestrial feature that bears the closest resemblance to a typical lunar crater, even though it is the probable result of a shallow marine impact.
