Doesn't it make you feel somewhat duped when they forget to update the simulation ???

it's very strange because it's like he is stationary but the distance from earth continues to rise

Well it jumped quickly to > 1km/s then went back to 0

Anything we analyze is at the mercy of others

Hmmm,do you guys think this [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] data gap may have been somehow due to the Asteroid!?

And yes,Thanking you ta' Shada

Possibly. It coincides with the timing.

gravity... anti propulsion forces inter action with asteroid velocity....

That would be interesting, just noticed that myself ... thought maybe the equinox came early this year

Did you guys catch that a Minute ago!?

It looked like it hauled ass the wrong direction then continued normally and then in the next shot one of the 'Stars' appeared to be moving in toward the shot of the Scope and then halted?

Link was stopped at 12:58 UTC ????

Final Score:

Dr. Astro - 1

David Dunham - 0.5 (pending any trailing debris)

Maybe you guys can help me out because I am confused. If the asteroid already passed by Earth, then what was this counter counting down to? [link to www.timeanddate.com]
^This counter still shows a little over 2 hours left until something?

how about
Final Score:
universe +1
us (here on earth -0.5.....(still pending any further, ya know)

Sorry,my Cpu turned itself off also?

Yes 66,that feed stopped just after what I posted above - I'm gonna' go back in now,hopefully back online if they have another observatory cued up to track DA14.

Yay,Back online streaming [link to www.ustream.tv] though not as good a Scope as the last in Australia : )

The meteorite which exploded and fell in Russia was estimated to be 15 meters in diameter and weigh close to 40 tons. This is about one-third the size of DA14 and the largest object to impact Earth in over 100 years. WOW, that's historic.

Around 1200 people have sought medical attention in Chelyabinsk alone because of the disaster, the region's governor Mikhail Yurevich told RIA Novosti. Over 110 of them have been hospitalized and two of them are in heavy condition. Among the injured there are 159 children, Emergency ministry reported.
Army units found three meteorite debris impact sites, two of which are in an area near Chebarkul Lake, west of Chelyabinsk. The third site was found some 80 kilometers further to the northwest, near the town of Zlatoust. One of the fragments that struck near Chebarkul left a crater six meters in diameter.
Servicemembers from the tank brigade that found the crater have confirmed that background radiation levels at the site are normal.

“At first I saw a huge bright fire up in the skies, and then came a loud explosion that not only shattered the windows, but blew out the window frames,” Taisiya Alabuzhina told RT.
“My heart is still beating 200 heartbeats a minute! … I saw this terrible flash, it was red-orange! My eyes are still hurting,” a witness from Chelyabinsk wrote on a local web forum. “I turned off all the lights, sat the kids on a couch and waited… Oh, my God, I thought the war had begun.”
Natalia, another Chelyabinsk resident, also expressed frustration. “Windows were blown out, furniture was jumping, I am shaking now. What do I do? I first grabbed my cat and passport and ran outside, but then was told to come back home, get some water and sit here,” she said, according to Komsomolskaya Pravda.

HIT & MISS-

SLOOH Space Camera beginning stream on Asteroid Day 2013:

[link to events.slooh.com]

Well,if it was that size then considering its angle of approach and the amount of time it took to burn-up it must have had the consistency of Peanut Butter.

Hmmm?

Thank Hugh for that link

It's saying just under 4 Minutes to stream - this is the correct channel,yes?

We toil for make benefit of all Gulpers.
