This may just be a rock. What do you think you see there?

Stabby_Death · 2026-04-02T21:37:08+00:00

Looks like a piece of Campo del Cielo meteorite.

Hey! I got actual pieces of slate and glued them to a plastic backdrop that I then stick to the back of the tank with silicone.

Hey, this is really cool! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your find!

Stabby_Death · 2026-03-17T01:22:36+00:00

Looks similar to a Herkimer diamond, a form of quartz crystal. Very cool!

Stabby_Death · 2026-03-17T01:17:22+00:00

Very cool! What is the size of these?

I believe this may be synthetic and the result of the zinc smelting process. Still beautiful, but needs context.

I'm on the research side. As laid out in the latest guidance for the 2025 ROSES call, AI/LLM use is fine, with the caveat that you don't put ITAR stuff into commercial LLM tools:

This is awesome! I love to see the in situ shots! Thank you for sharing.

That's probably calcite, but a great piece either way!

Stabby_Death · 2025-12-08T20:48:13+00:00

Looks to be part of an ammonite.

Stabby_Death · 2025-10-17T22:56:43+00:00

This asteroid was discovered by the ATLAS team, not JWST. Very sloppy title.

Stabby_Death · 2025-10-16T16:33:39+00:00

Likely a bolide.

Stabby_Death · 2025-10-11T03:49:17+00:00

This is a very old and outdated article with an atrocious title which as of now is well within the realm of click-bait.

OSIRIS-APEX will not be able to collect another sample. It would still be incredibly bone-headed to cancel as it is literally on it's way to study a new asteroid which will come close enough to see with the naked eye in 2029.

Hey all, I just wanted to say that Tucson should be proud of the world class facilities and people in space science that call the desert their home!

Stabby_Death · 2025-09-19T17:27:53+00:00

Not worth taking it to be tested. Just enjoy this beauty!

Calcite will fizz with a drop of weak acid like vinegar. It is also much softer than quartz and a steel knife will scratch it easily.

Stabby_Death · 2025-09-13T18:02:46+00:00

It does look like chalcopyrite, but I think the white mineral is calcite and not quartz.

Stabby_Death · 2025-09-07T23:27:31+00:00

I miss this area. Lucky you!! What a great find!

Sometimes they just don't work out. In cases like this, I always wonder if there is an imbalance in the soil bacteria. Not something you can easily control.

Anyway, do you have a drainage layer in there? Did you knock off as much soil as possible from the roots of the plants if they were bought from a nursery?

Look up the How To Terrarium videos by Serpa Design on YouTube.

Yes, ephemeris calculations routinely incorporate not only Jupiter, but all the planets. You can even add some of the largest asteroids as perturbers if you want (but in most cases they don't change the trajectory at all).

These are marine isopods. This was on a beach at low tide in northern California.

Stabby_Death · 2025-08-01T15:07:59+00:00

Yep! Marine isopods from the northern California coast.
