Dear Listees,

Back in December, I had the good fortune to participate in an expedition to the Almahata Sitta strewnfield, as well as present my research at an international conference on those meteorites and asteroid 2008 TC3 at the University of Khartoum. It was an amazing experience.

This Friday, February 5, at the NOAO headquarters in Tucson, I will be giving a lunchtime talk from 12:00-12:30 about the expedition. These talks are generally not advertised to the public due to limited space, but I'd like to invite any of you who might be interested to attend. We can probably accommodate up to ten extra visitors, so please email me offlist to reserve a spot. (If you do attend, please plan to stick around for the second half hour talk, by Quentin Parker of Macquarie University, entitled "Bangers and Mash: New light on old stars.")

Best regards! Hope to see many of you in Tucson,

Mark Hammergren
