(meteorobs) Vesta and Meteorite Presentations Online

[Wayne Watson]

I had the good fortune of being at the British Museum of Natural History several
weeks ago when a web presentation on the asteroid Vesta was given. It's on the web 
now, and may be found at <http://213.249.189.196/250404EtaMulanelo.mov>.   Very 
interesting stuff. (The link is also
given as <http://www.nhm.ac.uk/darwincentre/live/presentations/250404EtaMulane.html>.

It took awhile for them to get this material on the web, because the software fellow
was on vacation during that time. They also had a bit of a delay in getting some of
the graphics up, but I think they're are there now. The graphics look complete to me.

If you go to <http://www.nhm.ac.uk/darwincentre/live/archivelist.html>, you'll find a
complete listing of their past, all archived, and future presentations. I believe
there are a few more on astronomical subjects (meteorites, alien life, ...). Two days 
after this web live broadcast the one on meteorites was broadcast. This is a very 
worthwhile web site, so checking back to it every one in awhile is probably a good 
idea. The Darwin Centre portion of the museum is responsbile for the live video 
presentations.
