You Lucky Australian Bitches! New NASA vid shows just how close this asteroid is, and Aussie's will be able to see it!

Dont think I wont bump this when they wake up later.

Nasa vid is on the webpage

I am so jealous of Australian's

wow glp'ers down under better charge their cam batteries on the 14th

I know!!!!!

Got mine ready

I am sure there will be live links but if any Aussie (btw why does auto correct change aussie to Austin) wants to live stream, they can on ustream. I would love to see it!!!

Good. We are depending on you!

apparently not with the naked eye-but definitely with binocs if we know where to look.Which is where exactly?if anyone knows?

Thats fantastic

Fair play to you

you are so lucky

yeay for you but please don't forget

If it crashes ..the picture quality will be in 3D lol

Will be another dimension entirely!

Hahaha no actually

if i get any info i will post it Or someone will beat me to it!!!




Open an ac & then I can pm you
you're a star bar

Australia has all the fun!

Damn maybe that's why the bitch who broke into my house stole all 3 of my camera's- she just wants to take pics of the asteroid!!
Ok in all seriousness where will be the best place to see this thing?? I bought a new phone that has a camera so will see how good it is but will also go borrow my mums camera to get a shot :)

lol thanks.

you need to be in WA and have a telescope and know what bit of sky to point it at if it isn't cloudy

Aussies this is what i can find so far on how to see it....but if you really want to know shouldnt this be on your local news? Call them up and ask them how to see it

"The asteroid will approach the planet over Antarctica, crossing the Indian Ocean west of Perth, with the closest approach being near the Indonesian island of Sumatra," he said.

"The western portions of Australia from Adelaide to Perth should be able to see it, but you'll still need a small telescope or a solid pair of binoculars.

"At its closest, it will have an apparent magnitude (level of brightness) of about 7.4, so you won't be able to see it with the naked eye.

"And it is going to be coming in the morning so the sky will be lighting up which will affect its visibility as well."


'Like a star'

"What you would see through a small telescope would be something like a star, a small point of light... that moved against a background of stars," said Tim Spahr of the Harvard-Smithsonian's Minor Planet Centre.

The asteroid measures about 45 metres in diameter. That makes it relatively small by celestial standards.

Unless the bastard makes a detour and lands on ya bloody head.

:bbb9:

thanks

THE 14000 IS NOT COUNTING THE ONE-HALF DIAMETER OF THE EARTH
IT IS REALLY 8 TO 9 THOU. MILES AND WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE TRUE AFFECT OF NEWTONS 1ST LAW IN A VACUUM

:-)

yeah..we get all the best dooms.

Heatwaves..then wildfires..then floods..then wild storms.

A meteor impact would round off all our recent dooms just nice I reckon.

i hope it hits a UFO and rebound into earth

Could Aussie spiders take on a ufo? They Fucking could


i never knew some are red &sound like telephones? Wtf is up with that? Ufo vs red Aussie phone spider = easy bookies win for Irish poster

they have no idea

okay thanks for the update, I'd sorta forgotten about it. There's always a new doom just around the corner!

Bugger!! I'm over the other side of Oz so I'll miss it :(

I'm ready to record it as well, hopefully it doesn't rain or be cloudy as every other event in sky has been for me..

Why not make a holiday from this? I think we deserve more holidays, lets have a possible human demise day!! and regularly, once a year.

Probably best viewed from west coast. At its closest point, looks like Perth and Albany are two good locations
