OMG! Asteroid discovered May 28 can take out satellites May 29... historic close approach without warning!

If it passes over Washington DC then we are in for DOOM. That location has a consistent history of sucking up your money, freedom and life right out of you, and may include small space rocks


:done:

I was talking about gravity but neverfuckinmind.

will netflix still work?

6z 5/29/2012 is tonight at 11pm Pacific, 2am Eastern. Hope it hits!

Would someone in Washington please paint a big red "X" on the street in front of the White House to mark the target?

AC 167666?? ..... If the White House and Capital building catch fire, I'll bring the marshmellows !

Just funning with you



Too small to have gravity effect

Some one another thread said it has no history because it was discovered today... as if it did not exist prior

Of course it does have a history of making close approaches. We just were not aware of it until now.

Based on current observations the orbit has been crunched. I used data from the JPL and Horizon system to get dates [link to ssd.jpl.nasa.gov]

Here are the results:

(Notice the planet alignments that could have influenced the related earthquakes)

No main stream news yet just this:

Another tiny rock will pass Earth tomorrow

"it’s probably less than 10 meters across — about the size of a school bus or more likely a minivan. And it’ll be a close shave: though the orbit is still not nailed down, the nominal miss distance is about 14,500 kilometers... bear in mind, it was only discovered last night, so the current orbit is preliminary... And even if newer observations show it hitting us, this rock is way too small to do any damage. At that size, it’ll break up in the atmosphere and make a spectacular light show, but not much else. This has happened countless times with asteroids this size, like the Peekskill meteor in 1992, or the more recent fireball over California last April..."

This is a 4.6-10m rock...it would break up as it came down, some larger pieces would make it through but not in the slightest bit worrying

Chill

"GENERAL QUARTERS!"

60 miles from Earth. Only code 6.

terrorist, rogue nations, asteroids

^^^ this just gave me the biggest DoomChub!

I highly doubt they actually just discovered this. Just out of curiosity how can you really miss that? They catalog all these other asteroids but they just so happen to find the one that may smack us the DAY BEFORE it should arrive.

Sorry that made me laugh. No offense.

I want a direct hit or GTFO

Sometimes they announce them 1 or 2 days after

only half of it ever gets through 10 meters will not destroy a whole city but could cause a bad tsunami if hits the water.

Aldo Vitagliano provided this map of the transit (computed by his software Solex).

Sorry no white house impact

New count PHA´S

That was not what she asked.

How close does it have to come, before Earth's gravity catches it for good?

19,200 kilometers = 2012 KP24

35,786 kilometers = Weather and communication satellites (radio, telephone, and television)
