2012 DA14 WILL hit earth.. Confirmed.

I say we so much because I'm not the only one doing these calculations. Neither is NASA. I'm an amateur astronomer. I am not part of NASA. Seems you have an agenda to discredit me.

Dr astro clearly has no clue WTF he is talking about

unfortunately, it's gonna take events like this (asteroid impact) and many others like it in order to change man.

we are so fucked up that we do need something like this to happen! think of all of the corruption, greed, and hate that we have.....and you know what? is all temporary to boot!

my vote is for: bring it on!

Well, then you should say the mass is "effectively" irrelevent, not totally.

It's changing shape thus the size gets changed, it's going to slow down and shift course cause it's a space craft.

I know exactly what I'm talking about. I've done these calculations many times.

Has anyone ever debunked David Dunham's assertions (as transcribed by Russia’s Izvestia) last year at Moscow’s University of Electronics and Mathematics that:


"The Earth’s gravitational field will alter the asteroid’s path significantly. Further scrupulous calculation is required to estimate the threat of collision. The asteroid may break into dozens of small pieces, or several large lumps may split from it and burn up in the atmosphere. The type of the asteroid and its mineral structure can be determined by spectral analysis. This will help predict its behavior in the atmosphere and what should be done to prevent the potential threat."

Also, I wonder what kind of influence Mercury' accelerating orbit has had on DA14?

Talk about splitting hairs... Sorry, not going to play that game.

You again. See above. It won't hit earth. Even if it broke up the fragments would continue along the original orbit.

Astro, you thrive off splitting hairs, so why not be totally accurate now.

Nasa said it could hit satellites.

That in itself would make an 'impact'.

Do you think our communication will be in jeopardy?

That program updates over the Internet..... Not saying its been corrupted but when was it last updated and if was recent if you have original version of that program you could install a fresh version and redo the calculations I bet that the original program spits out a diffrent set of variables.

You also said it wouldn't hit any satellites so wtf?

No. It's going to pass inside the orbits of our communications satellites from south to north. If it manages to hit anything up there (extremely unlikely) the debris will most likely avoid those sats.

Also, passing close to the earth, could the asteroid discharge like a giant capacitor?

Could this discharge of current alter it's course?

The break up could alter it's course, too.

It is possible that there could be an earth impact of some fragments?


When objects come close to the son we witness a plasma discharge. Could the earth itself emit a discharge of some sort of energy that would affect it , alter it's flight trajectory and cause impact?


Lot's of questions here.

No real assurances of impact or non impact seem possible.

What about it? Previously the uncertainty region included our geostationary and geosynchronous satellites. Those satellites are at high risk of a domino effect should one of them end up getting hit. Now we know the orbit passes inside the orbits of those satellites. You seem to act like it will either hit one or the other. That's completely wrong. Space is huge, even the space between earth and our geostationary satellites is huge.

That's because you have a fundamentally screwed up understanding of astronomy. Oh well.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Again, what the fuck are you talking about?

Because it's irrelevant. I don't split hairs over things that don't affect the claim.

Astromut....don't waste your time with stupidity...
thanks for sharing your knowledge and i can count on that this will be a NON EVENT... for humanaty!...

I see you on the other side and hope you have a great valentine's day with your love one!!!!

Dude..... WTF are you talking about?

"Discharge like a giant caapacitor...."?

Lol.

My son is in the RAF and has been placed on high alert for home-land security ' quoting disaster emergency relief'. He can't say what for but the U.K military has been placed on high alert for an immediate reediness.

I am not a troll or rumor fear monger, the only thing I can think of is this asteroid closing in on earth. They are not getting ready for war, but home land emergency relief.

It's not a bad idea to be prepared. Don't panic though, nothing may happen.

Actually, I know almost nothing of astronomy.

But I did predict the destruction of New Orleans the year it happened before a live witness, but missed by one month.

A stunning prediction, not well documented.

All I am saying here is that the object could possibly hit the earth. If it did, chances are that it would impact water.

Also, there is the possibility of an air burst of some type, like happened in Siberia in 1908.

So, if you see a large burst of light in the air don't stare at it.

physic law just say that thhe speed of falling is the same for every mass.

but if this asteroid is bigger, its trajectory will be altered by earth gravity. and alter this asteroid speed too

Programs that update over the net are suspect, install it fresh with no updates and plug in your variables if they match up then no worries if they don't well then it's suspect of course. I refresh operating systems every month with ie wipe the entire pc reinstall fresh with all security patches already installed. Hackers is a epidemic, and you would be amazed at what goes on in that world. I've seen clean operating systems or programs get changed overnight. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities that a program gets updated to give statistics for amatures or even pros.

That's what the fuck I'm talking about. Install fresh no updates do your calcs and then correlate that's how science is done. Measure twice cut once.

Good informative video

The asteroid's trajectory will be altered by earth's gravity the same regardless of its mass. Physics fail. If it were a significant fraction of the earth's mass then the mutual attraction would be noticeably greater, but that is not the case here. Its mass is irrelevant compared to earth's mass.

What program are you even talking about? You're making vague handwaving gestures and pretending like you're making a valid point.

WHAT PROGRAM? I used multiple programs in the above video. Neither of them update themselves automatically over the internet.
