Asteroid headed toward earth! Oct 12th arrival
Very close approach... with distance estimate rated as 7 0-9 scale 0 being very good 9 being unsure so calculations of orbit and distance from earth not real good certainly could be closer
[link to youtu.be]
[link to youtu.be]
It is estimated that a 30-year advance warning would be required to have a reasonable
assurance of deflecting a NEO from a collision with Earth. Thus, if a future impactor were
identified today, the time to explore the characteristics of the NEO, develop a deflection
system, deliver it to the NEO, and apply the deflection early enough to prevent an
impact, requires about a 3-decade lead time.-- Mike Griffin, 2005, Testimony to Congress [link to neo.jpl.nasa.gov]
5.1-14
Detected Airburst (Bolide) Events between 2003 and 2005
U.S. early warning satellites detected a flash that indicated an energy release comparable
to the Hiroshima burst. We see about 30 such bursts per year, but this one was one of
the largest we have ever seen. The event was caused by the impact of a small asteroid,
probably about 5-10 meters in diameter, on the earth's atmosphere. --Statement of
Brigadier General Simon P. Worden, Vice Director of Operations, United States Space
Command




watch the asteroid flyby .. 1/5 the distance to the moon.. fairly close..

live on youtube now!

Re: Asteroid headed toward earth! Oct 12th arrival
Wasn't there a thread here yesterday saying there was a close one comining in tonight as well?

Now this one on the 12th.. that is 2 close ones in a matter of a few days.

Wonder what else is coming our way, that we aren't aware of yet?

It is, to me, sad how fast people forget the FOUNDATIONS of our fine country! This country was built by an armed population capable of fending for themselves, and will be lost by couches full of potato-sheeple riding their 52" HD-LEDTV's into the orwellian sunset. :(

Re: Asteroid headed toward earth! Oct 12th arrival
Another small dark rock found. There are Millions of these BTW. The Closest one, besides those that hit, was a mere 5480 kilometers, Very Small Asteroid Makes Close Earth Approach on February 4, 2011 "Asteroid 2011 CQ1 was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey on February 4 and made a record close Earth approach 14 hours later on February 4 at 19:39 UT (14:39 EST). It passed to within 0.85 Earth radii (5480 km) of the Earth's surface over a region in the mid-Pacific. This object, only about one meter in diameter, is the closest non-impacting object in our asteroid catalog to date..." [link to neo.jpl.nasa.gov]
Here's one from last year Asteroid 2011 MD CPA Earth @ 18,651 Kilometers [link to www.youtube.com]

There are currently around 590,000 Known Asteroids, ftp://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/elgb/astorb.html they suspect the real number is around 6 MILLION. As for the NEOs, the current number of around 8000 is expected to be around 100,000. Small dark rocks are hard to see, until they get close. With Millions of them flying around, some will come close. Look at the numbers in this video;



The Condition Code has absolutely nothing to do with the Current Location. It's all about the Future Orbit. A high CC simply means the orbit years away is not know well enough to avoid losing it when it it leaves sight and then comes back into sight range. They don't watch these small rocks all the time, they can't. Note how objects that aren't expected back don't have a Condition Code [link to ssd.jpl.nasa.gov]

The early warnings are just days if not hours. Why can't they see these things ahead? Are gonna be notified of an actual impact in a matter of minutes in the near future?

Hooboy more asteroid fearporn.

Every time some astronomer spots an asteroid that passes within a billion miles of us, someone feels obliged to post it on this forum as an armageddon thread.
