Asteroid headed toward earth! Oct 12th arrival

here is the info

Near Earth Asteroids

Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.

On October 8, 2012 there were 1331 potentially hazardous asteroids.

Notes: LD means "Lunar Distance." 1 LD = 384,401 km, the distance between Earth and the Moon. 1 LD also equals 0.00256 AU. MAG is the visual magnitude of the asteroid on the date of closest approach.

Destroy everything and start over .. please!

Just that statement right there, should be enough to open anyone's eyes to the fact that it's only a matter of time before we take a hit.

Hell, 20 PHA's would be scary enough.... but wow.. over 1,300!!!! I think it's safe to say the timer is ticking.

It's just a matter of..... WHEN!

If they can prove a miss they will list it, if they cant prove a miss it is callef unexpected

0.2 is about 47000 miles give or take. How far is the ISS?

Is is an Asteroid or is it really an alien spacecraft?

I'm not tellin

Thread: Wach out for october 11

I agree

I think the NWO have alien connections. They have an agenda for this planet. I'm sure anything that is to hit earth is blown up to bits. Asteroids pass by earth all the time.

I'm not an expert, but don't small asteroids usually accompany large ones?

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]

... watching ... waiting ...

So in terms of miles, kilometres or LD's, just how close is this one expected to come?

Most recent data(2012 TC4):

AU: .000142342

OR

A little over 13,000 miles.

Asteroid 2012 TC4, will come even closer on the night of Oct. 11-12. At 11:57 p.m. (CDT) Oct. 11, the speedy visitor will book across the sky 59,000 miles from Earth’s surface. Because of its small size – about 45 to 90 feet across – it will appear as a very faint, fast-moving star in large amateur telescopes at that time. Earlier that evening, the viewing angle will be better and 2012 TC4 will shine brighter at magnitude 13.6. This will make it a decent catch in an scopes 8-inches.

Too bad Romney's not in there yet... it would explode 55-megatons worth over Tehran.

No problem!

The big comet is coming called comet 2012 s1

The Moon is in an elliptical 28-day orbit ranging from 220,000 to about 252,000 miles from Earth.
On average, the center of the Moon is about 238,700 miles from the -CENTER- of

So, If:
2012 TC4
Oct 12
0.2 LD

Then take the average LD of 238,700 miles
0.2 means 2/10ths for those who dropped out of school early.

= 47,740 miles

Allowing for: The average distance to the centre of the Earth is 6,371 km or 3,959 miles.

The meteor will be about:

= 43,781 from your homes sitting on the earth's crust. :)

-CENTER- of the Earth


Forgot to type that...


Anyways, that's how close she be coming in as good as I can figure it to your houses. :)

43,781 <--That's in miles

To get any closer math you would need to see exactly where the moon is in it's elliptical orbit tomorrow.

SpaceWeather is tracking ALL 1331 known near earth asteroids.
It's on the front page of their site.
This asteroid is small.
Nothing out of the ordinary and nothing to worry about.

Anniversary of our lady of Fatima apparition..interesting

so thats why they talk of asteroids in children's cartoons lately?

they are preparing the little ones minds to accept what will be coming in the future?
