Vigarano Mainarda
Vigarano Mainarda ( Ferrarese: ) is a ''comune'' (municipality) in the Province of Ferrara in the Italian region Emilia-Romagna, located about northeast of Bologna and about west of Ferrara. Vigarano Mainarda borders the following municipalities: Bondeno, Ferrara, Poggio Renatico and Terre del Reno Science The Vigarano meteorite fell here in 1910: it is considered the prototype of a class of carbonaceous chondrites known as " CV group" (where the "V" comes from the name Vigarano). Vigarano-like carbonaceous (CV) chondrites contain once-melted (igneous) CAIs that crystallized Al-, Ti-rich calcic pyroxene ( fassaite) containing Ti 3+ Simon,S.B., Sutton,S.R. and Grossman,L.

Carbonaceous Chondrites
Carbonaceous chondrites or C chondrites are a class of chondritic meteorites comprising at least 8 known groups and many ungrouped meteorites. They include some of the most primitive known meteorites. The C chondrites represent only a small proportion (4.6%) of meteorite falls. Some famous carbonaceous chondrites are: Allende, Murchison, Orgueil, Ivuna, Murray, Tagish Lake, Sutter's Mill and Winchcombe. General description C chondrites contain a high proportion of carbon (up to 3%), which is in the form of graphite, carbonates and organic compounds, including amino acids. In addition, they contain water and minerals that have been modified by the influence of water. The carbonaceous chondrites were not exposed to higher temperatures, so that they are hardly changed by thermal processes. Some carbonaceous chondrites, such as the Allende meteorite, contain calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs). These are compounds that emerged early from the primeval solar nebula, condens ...

Salgótarján
Salgótarján (; sk, Šalgotarján) is city with county rights in Hungary, the capital of Nógrád county, north-eastern Hungary, making it the third smallest county capital based on population. The nearby Salgó castle is a well-known tourist attraction. Location At the foot of Karancs mountain, in the Cserhát hills, 250 meters above sea level, north-east from Budapest, west from Miskolc. Salgótarján is surrounded by beautiful forests and hills topped with castle ruins, which are accessible by bus that may be taken from the center of town. History The town already existed in the Middle Ages, but information on it is scarce possibly because it was a small settlement. The word ''salgó'' means "shining" in Old Hungarian, while ''Tarján'' was the name of one of the Hungarian tribes conquering the area. The castle of Salgó was built in the 13th century on a mountain of volcanic origin. In the 13th century the town already had a church. After the 1682 siege of the near ...

Caudebec-lès-Elbeuf
Caudebec-lès-Elbeuf (, literally ''Caudebec near Elbeuf'') is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region in northern France. Geography A residential and light industrial town situated by the banks of the river Seine, some south of Rouen, at the junction of the D919 and the D921 roads. It used to be the site of the Caudebec bore, or tidal wave, which several times a year rushed up the river from the sea. However the tidal estuary was changed to improve shipping access and the bore ceased to function.

Carlo Rambaldi
Carlo Rambaldi (September 15, 1925 – August 10, 2012) was an Italian special effects artist, winner of three Oscars: one Special Achievement Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in 1977 for the 1976 version of ''King Kong'' and two Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects in 1980 and 1983 for, respectively, ''Alien'' (1979) and '' E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' (1982). He is most famous for his work in those two last mentioned films, that is for the mechanical head-effects for the creature in ''Alien'' and the design of the title character of ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial''. Early life Carlo Rambaldi was born September 15, 1925 in Vigarano Mainarda, Emilia-Romagna. Assante, Ernesto (August 10, 2012)"Addio a Carlo Rambaldi il creatore di E.T. e Alien" ''la Repubblica'' He studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna, where he developed a passion for electromechanics and the skeleton and musculature of the human body.

Paolo Mazza
Paolo Mazza (21 July 1901 – 31 December 1981) was an Italian football manager. He was co-manager of the Italy national football team at the 1962 FIFA World Cup, together with Giovanni Ferrari. Mazza career as a footballer was served entirely in the lower divisions, he became first manager and then sporting director of SPAL, the main club in Ferrara. In 1946, he became President of the club and pioneered the idea of training centres at youth level, opening the Centro Giovanile di Addestramento. Nicknamed ''Il Rabdomante'' (the Diviner) by journalist Gianni Brera due to his skill for talent-spotting, he helped SPAL reach Serie A, well above the level expected from such a small club. In 1962, despite being out of management and coaching for nearly 25 years, the Italian FA asked him to act as Assistant Manager of the 1962 World Cup squad in Chile. Italy was knocked out at the first round stage. However, just a few days after his return, he made one of his most notable signings wh ...

Calcium–aluminium-rich Inclusion
A calcium–aluminium-rich inclusion or Ca–Al-rich inclusion (CAI) is a submillimeter- to centimeter-sized light-colored calcium- and aluminium-rich inclusion found in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. The four CAIs that have been dated using the Pb-Pb chronometer yield a weighted mean age of 4567.30 ± 0.16 Myr. As CAIs are the oldest dated solids, this age is commonly used to define the age of the Solar System. Description CAIs consist of minerals that are among the first solids condensed from the cooling protoplanetary disk. They are thought to have formed as fine-grained condensates from a high temperature (>1300 K) gas that existed in the protoplanetary disk at early stages of Solar System formations. Some of them were probably remelted later resulting in distinct coarser textures. The most common and characteristic minerals in CAIs include anorthite, melilite, perovskite, aluminous spinel, hibonite, calcic pyroxene, and forsterite-rich olivine. Using the lead-lead ...
