I just found your thread, and thought you might want to check out the one I'm running today Quoting: SilentlyKnowing I love this part: "The really troubling part comes at 3:34 min. pt. "Arizona's telescope will ping ALMOST EVERYDAY between 2-16 to 2-20-13. This is their way of letting us know that THEY PROBABLY WILL NOT BE TRACKING IT (since it is supposed to impact on 2-15-2013, and 2-16-2013 will be AFTER the fact!)"
Quoting: SilentlyKnowingRather than jumping to ridiculous conclusions and assuming bad motives in others, how about informing yourself first. Then you won't end up making ignorant posts; it will NOT impact us and it is approaching from the south to the north; it won't be visible to any telescopes in Arizona until well after it passes the point of closest approach on the 15th! It doesn't even get 20 degrees high up in the sky in Arizona until the 16th GMT time (the timezone of astronomy). It's not a secret message, it's basic astronomy. Look up the azimuth and altitude of this asteroid at every hour over the next few days as seen from Arizona and you'll see what I mean (yes, you'll need to adjust the table settings to include apparent az, alt): [ link to ssd.jpl.nasa.gov]
