Orbit of the Murchison meteorite |
|
| Authors: | Ian Halliday Bruce A McIntosh |
| Abstract: | Abstract— Because the path of the Murchison meteorite fortuitously intersected the Earth's path at an angle of only a few degrees, the visual observations establish the entry velocity to be within 2 km/s of 13 km/s and determine the nature of its orbit with a precision quite unusual for visually sighted falls. |
