Or think?...(I apologize for posting on a seperate thread, I just didn't know how to get a hold of you otherwise) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4839842 Thread: 2012 DA14 WILL hit earth.. Confirmed. It's not going to hit us. And on a completely unrelated note, there is still no chance that 2012 DA14 will hit earth or the moon on the 15th, even when generating the uncertainty region using only amateur data: Quoting: Dr. Astro |

Folks, wait until next September-October to watch this cosmic animal ravaging Mars during its close passage. Listen to McCanney: [link to jmccsci.com] |

You have to really study the video to see them, but they are there traveling at the same speed and same direction. I don't think 9 hot pixels would be spread out on the video traveling at the same speed and in the same direction. I think I saw a video of it as well here. Can obviously see some other objects moving around. That's Pete's images. They're hot pixels. He personally confirmed it. ok Astro, little test for you. Take a screen shot of the video and mark where the hot pixels are supposed to be on the Wow! first video of comet ison and post back. |

Im sure you wont waste your time because you cant prove shit, you have to rely on someone else's word. You need to quit being butt hurt all the time when people call BS on your posts. Maybe do some more research yourself instead of relying on other people. Live free or Die! |

Hot pixels dont travel across the screen at the same speed and direction as the comet. Quoting: Captaininyourface The images are aligned on the stars, the hot pixels are stationary but appear to move in the animation after alignment. I know this from personal experience. Im sure you wont waste your time because you cant prove shit, you have to rely on someone else's word. Quoting: CaptainNo, but he is the photographer and it's quite telling that you ignore him. Fact is they're hot pixels; they show no point spread function, they are not real objects. Last Edited by Astromut on 02/08/2013 07:57 PM |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 4839842 United States 02/15/2013 02:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did you hear about that atroid that hit russia today? And if so, did you know about it BEFORE it actually happened?...Where did it come from...That's scary...Not to mention tonight is the night the other astroid is supposedly supposed to pass us by... And what in the hell is this...Did you read about or heard of the astroid in 2014?... [link to dsc.discovery.com] In conclusion...My questions are- Did you know about the astroid that hit Russia before it actually happened, what was the deal with that? Is the astroid tonight still going to safely pass us by today, as it's supposed to? But why did a astroid hit in russia the same day one is supposed to miss? Also, what is the deal with that bullshit astroid in 2014? That's 2 miles wide? |
Dr. Astro (OP) Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 33360181 United States 02/15/2013 02:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Alright Astro, I have a few statements and questions... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4839842 Did you hear about that atroid that hit russia today? And if so, did you know about it BEFORE it actually happened?...Where did it come from...That's scary...Not to mention tonight is the night the other astroid is supposedly supposed to pass us by... 2012 DA14 has already passed the point of closest approach and is now on the way out. The meteor that hit Russia was not detected beforehand; it came from the general direction of the sun and there was no way to find it before it hit. Also, what is the deal with that bullshit astroid in 2014? Quoting: ACThat's 2 miles wide? That's quite an old discovery. It's pass in 2014 will only be 0.12832 AU. That's quite a bit farther away than 2012 DA14. The thing is when you first discover an asteroid you still have a lot of uncertainty in the orbit and it can lead to open possibilities for impacts at future dates when in reality once you refine the orbit you find it won't even pass all that close. |

Do you believe it will get as bright ad they say? Nice music too, what is it? Thanks! It is still very dim. Current projections for its peak brightness have decreased a good bit, I am not holding my breath for it being the "great comet" we were originally hoping it would be. I don't know about the music, I just used youtube's new feature of adding royalty free music to my video. Listened to a bunch of awful clips till I heard one I liked that seemed to fit. |
