I think they may be testing a new feature in the database.? Jeff Grossman is adding some more functionality to the database like private collections.? I was fortunate enough to be asked to help test drive this new feature. My only input was making it hard for spambots to get a hold of email addresses which Jeff took care of. ? I feel this will be a good feature since private collectors can collaborate with institutional entities.?

As much as I dislike sharing information, I am taking a positive position on this resource.

Here is something I didn't expect to see while poking around in the
online Met Bulletin.

Link - http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/MetBullCollectionInfo.php?coll=Vader

Apparently Vader collects meteorites and his collection resides on the
Imperial homeworld of Coruscant.

My question is, are obviously fake names accepted into the Bulletin?
Or is this some kind of weird inside joke?

Best regards,

MikeG
