Talk:Wabar craters

message: That the temperature in the 'Empty Quarter' reached 61 degrees C in 1994 contradicts the record books: the highest temperature ever recorded is, they claim, '136 F at Al Aziziyah, Libya in September of 1922.' Different sites give other readings, however (though none of these is above 61C). Perhaps this is something to do with reliability of measurement?
I am working on the St. John Philby bio.  Any objections to changing his name to St. John Philby, seeing he is known as Harry St. John Philby Jack Philby and Sheikh Abdullah, among others and I am trying to standardize his name?   Thx. Nobs 02:03, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: It is interesting to compare Philby's plan of the area (H. St John Philby, 1933, "Rub' al Khali: An Account of Exploration in the Great Desert of Arabia under the auspices and patronage of His Majesty 'Abdul 'Aziz ibn Sa'ud, King of the Hejaz and Nejd and its Dependencies" The Geographical Journal Vol 81 no 1, January 1933, pages 1-26 - plan is opp page 10) and that produced by Wynn and Shoemaker (http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/jwynn/3wabar.html).  Philby mentions the two large craters (100 and 50 yards diameter) and 'three similar craters close by', but on his plan only shows two 'exposed craters' (ie the larger two) and two 'submerged craters?' plus the 'Reputed site of large iron block'.  The block site on the plan might be the fifth crater to which he refers in the text.  Wynn's eleven meter crater is not shown on Philby's plan.81.159.88.183 (talk) 13:52, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Could you also edit this part "Its total mass was more than 3,500 tonnes (which would give it a diameter of 16 meters at a density of 1.5 g/cm^3)" which is based on a false assumption about the density of the object; as it was an iron-nickel object, it would have had a far greater density (7.66 g/cm³ according to the article mentioned below) and 3,500 tons of iron meteorite would be more like 9.6 meters diameter!
