Thanks - all the new refs seem to present the basic facts very well - however - the NASA ref seems to claim the meteorite fell on Earth "50,000" years ago and the Space.com ref claims "10,000" years ago? - in any regards - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan ( talk) 16:54, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Do you think we can load this Yamato image? http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/antmet/mmc/Y000593.pdf

Thanks for the suggestion - great image - maybe the image will be ok - esp if it's from NASA - checking this at the moment - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan ( talk) 18:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

 Done - image looks good - and seems ok - thanks again for the suggestion and NASA link - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan ( talk) 19:18, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Currently, the article links the microscopic spheres to Martian spherules. However, the spherical hematite inclusions discovered by Opportunity rover have a size range of 100 to more than 250 micrometers. Yamato's spheres are about 0.2 micrometers and are not composed of hematite (not reported as such any way), so I suggest to remove the link to "Martian spherules".

 Done - Excellent suggestion - and rationale - yes, seems better to remove the links - and this has now been done - thanks - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan ( talk) 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Thank you. I really hope they'll get another sample to perform the mass spec. on the carbon. Cheers, BatteryIncluded ( talk) 22:51, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply

"They" may be related to the "biomorphs" of ALH84001. Spooky.
