0.5 LD!! Even Closer Near Earth Asteroid 2012 KT42 Discovered Today!! | |
| ExoPoliChick Offer Upgrade  User ID: 12909685  Canada05/28/2012 01:06 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Discovered today!!! Only 8,800 miles from Earth!! WTF is going on out there?!?!??!?!? <SNIP> Tomorrow, May 29, 2012 at about 07:07 UT, the asteroid designated 2012 KT42 will pass only ~14,100 km (8,800 miles) or about ~0.06 lunar distance (or 0.0001379 AU) above the Earth's surface. The asteroid was discovered by Mt. Lemmon Survey with a 1.5-m reflector + CCD on May 28, 2012 at magnitude ~18.1. According to its absolute magnitude (H=28.8) this asteroid has an estimated size of roughly 3-10 meters, so it is a small object. We have been able to follow-up this object soon after his discovery while it was still on the neocp, from the Siding Spring-Faulkes Telescope South on 2012, May 28.4, through a 2.0-m f/10.0 Ritchey-Chretien + CCD. At the moment of our images from FTS, "2012 KT42" was moving at about ~3.63 "/min and its magnitude was ~17.5. At the moment of its close approach around 07UT of tomorrow, 2012 KT42 will be bright as magnitude ~12.0 and moving at ~11021"/min.

Not the size of the object but just how fast these things can come out of nowhere! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14061332 That's precisely because of their small size. A poco? with tears streaming down my face. You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. |

What I was wondering is this just the tip of the iceberg? Are these the first fragments of a larger asteroid that perhaps was torn apart somehow, either by another impact or by getting too close to a larger object? Then I figured that if there were a larger central body of an asteroid it probably would have been detected by now. Even still, we could be in for some more small objects like this if this is the precursor to an asteroid that has been torn apart. |

This is all part of a cover up. Even the NEO's are fake. its a Planet which is pushing debrie if front of it NASA is hiding this and calls it NEO's But there will be a day NASA cannot longer hide it anymore because it will be 1000's of NEO's every day The Planet will then be visible for every one to see...
