Incoming Asteroid--- 2012DA14---Feb 15---57M or over 170' across---.009LD

Come on man, I've been to multiple websites and they are all saying the same thing, there is almost 100 percent certainty that this thing will Miss us. We won't even be able to see it without a telescope, it's close but I've seen closer last year. It is big though and if it were to hit it still wouldn't be as strong as the Tunguska event. Just FYI, I hate to see people scared for no reason.

no, YOURS is

2.0e-4 Astronomical Units = 29 919.5741 kilometres

18590 miles, and it's at that distance for two hours

like a bullet parting your hair

The calculations are immaterial, anyone can make a mistake (happened too me once in 1963 lol according to my father)it caught my attention too but guessed that the calculations were slightly off and wether its 200 or 200,000 the main thing is it brought the attention of GLP ,my son is blind and i know only too well how these things can happen so don't delete it

misses earth by 34596 km / 21623 mi

It'll never happen. Don't you know the world will end on December 21, 2012? By the time that rock reaches us, we'll all be gone, world and all.

the end

it will still pass us about 34,000 km's away.

34,000km's is pretty far away for a rock only 170' or 57m in size.

even if it hit....not much world wide doom from that impact.

locals might not be so well off.

condition 4 means of a scale (1-9) 1 being the best and most stable orbit info....this is a "4" now a "9" would make one think about this....."4" not so bad.

1LD = 384401km then 384401 x 0.009 = 3459.609 km is this not correct.

Look at February 16th. The JPL SBDB says it will be 3.0E-4 AU. That is about 2,789 miles. Why does everyone keep saying the 15th?

'Should' miss us by about 2100 miles, BUT what IS the plus/Minus connected with this calculation ?

IF it was + or - 50%, it could be as close as 1050 miles. IF those numbers were 'faulty', we could have a VERY nasty surprise for some place on Earth !

Nothing has changed...

Not big enough to do that much damage (maybe tunguska like?). Hopefully it won't be over a highly populated area .. then it would be a different story.

0.09 is 22 000 miles

website sais 0.09 not 0.009

It's not .009 but .09 = 34,500 miles still close but it is NOT .009

I'm going to try one more time. On February 16th, it will be 3.0E-4 AU. This is .00003 AU, or 2,789 miles. Everyone is obsessed about the 15th, but it's the 16th we have to worry about.

Maybe that's the reason for the ISS to be evacuated.
Can a collision with a satellite make that space rock turning toward Earth.
?
?

You need to go back to math class. 3.0E-4 AU is .0003 AU NOT .00003. You move the decimal place four spots, you don't add 4 zeros.
[link to www.unit-conversion.info]
.0003 AU = 27886.7 Miles

lowest you can go on asteroid impact calculator is 100m

[link to simulator.down2earth.eu]

even then with an iron density and mediocre velocity your looking at a 200m deep crater

DOOM ON BABY!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

22k miles?

Doom off folks.

Sorry.

Move it along now. Next thread, Exit top right. Choose link marked 'Forum'. Move along.

Impact is set for February 16th

Government school math education at it's finest (not to mention "you" spelling).

01.00 LD = 240,000 miles.
00.1 LD = 24,000 miles.
00.01 LD = 2,400 miles.
00.001 LD = 240 miles.
00.09 LD = 21,600 miles.

its.09 not .009 big difference

Nobody has taken into account the effect of the earths Gravational pull on this rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Its not 0.009 its 0.09 big difference 21,500 miles!

Actually, everyone who knows anything about physics and orbital dynamics has taken Earth's gravitational field into account.
