Has NASA confirmed the collision with Asteroid 2012 DA14 at February 15, 2013?

ban this guy...for being stupid....

Haha what a fucking retard.

The predicted close distance is still changing. Now 27,200 km.

With all the prophecies mainly the Mayan , um, are our dates accurate? I wonder because I was told by a priest that we are off by two years.

Off from what? What does it mean that we are off by two years?

What the fuck is your problem!? You just being fucking dumb and dumber. It's 2012 and u gonna say 2013 now and what next ?? 2015- 2080!?
Wake the fuck uP sheep stop setting up new dooms date

With 21 days of observations, the predicted close approach distance is 30,050 km.

A fiery dragon will cross the sky
Six times before this earth shall die
Mankind will tremble and frightened be
for the sixth heralds in this prophecy.[Tribulation trumpets]
For seven days and seven nights
Man will watch this awesome sight.
The tides will rise beyond their ken
To bite away the shores and then
The mountains will begin to roar
And earthquakes split the plain to shore.[earthquakes]
And flooding waters, rushing in
Will flood the lands with such a din
That mankind cowers in muddy fen

and........


And when the dragon's tail is gone,
Man forgets, and smiles, and carries on
To apply himself - too late, too late
For mankind has earned deserved fate.
His masked smile - his false grandeur,
Will serve the Gods their anger stir.
And they will send the Dragon back
To light the sky - his tail will crack
Upon the earth and rend the earth
And man shall flee, King, Lord, and serf.
But slowly they are routed out
To seek diminishing water spout
And men will die of thirst before
The oceans rise to mount the shore.
And lands will crack and rend anew
You think it strange. It will come true.

The distance changed dramatically with one more day of observations in the new orbital solution. It is now 39,400 km. The circumference of the Earth is 40,000 km.

Now it's 30 days, and another notable increase: 51,600 km (0.13 LD).

35 days, and the close approach distance increases again: 62,200 km . This is about 10 Earth radii.

2013-Feb-15 19:26 3.3118764447E+04 0.1183357

56 days, and the close approach distance is closer to where it started, at 29,900 km.

RE: NASA February 2013 asteroid
see PBS.org/Nova has info on this and connections to NASA

A new solution, with 15 more days of observations. 35,000 km.

.
... thanks for the updates! ...
.

Typical NASA figuring: 17 digits in the calculation and they don't even know if the first few are accurate.

Any news from this?

The most recent is 34,975 km.

2013-Feb-15 19:24 3.4975180776E+04 -0.0618589
2013-Feb-15 19:25 3.4973997963E+04 0.0224311
2013-Feb-15 19:26 3.4977872155E+04 0.1067105

It has obviously stabilized. This is virtually the same distance as the 77 day calculation.

Are there no INDEPENDENT sources capable of monitoring this Asteroid???

Thanks for updating constantly.....

You're welcome.

Yes there are other sources.

NEODyS, gives this:

[link to newton.dm.unipi.it]

2013/02/15.80959 0.0002265 astronomical units, which is 33,900 km. (An astronomical unit, or au, is the average Earth-Sun distance of 149,600,000 km)

It's independent enough to disagree by about 1,000 km.

This NEODyS page gives some info on what groups involved:

Only 16,777 miles from Earth? Woah! Pretty close call I would say, below some satellite's orbits.

Too close!
