Asteroid 2012 DA14 is getting bigger and bigger. WTF?

The closer the bigger.....

Like standing on a road and watching small cars on the horizon getting bigger and bigger while approaching prior to impact/flyby ;)

If they can not estimate the size correctly, how can we believe that they estimated the exact path?

Path went from 22,000 to 14,000 near miss

Reminds me of a comedy on TV called Father Ted (you guys gotta watch it ,so funny).

Father Ted is demonstrating some plastic toy cows to Dougal.
Father Ted: ...OK, one last time. These are small... but the ones out there are far away. Small... far away... (Dougal is uncomprehending) Ah, forget it!

Has been rumored to be 500M.. so .. who the fuck knows .. we'll see soon enough, if it fucks something up ..

Yeah, that is a funny show. There are loads of episodes on youtube. This is the one you mentioned though

it's a tad concerning, you're right.

The bigger it is, the more mass. == A different trajectory due to gravity.

Somebody beat me to it

SHIN THIS PIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me tel u me gets worried lol

Is gonna hit!!!

²

this guy says its confirmed a hit and then he gets banned right after that but the thread was allowed to stay.

Thread: 2012 DA14 WILL hit earth.. Confirmed.

subtract the radius of the earth (4000)..leaves us
with 10,000 miles..is that within the margin of error?

Good point.

so we have 3 days
yippikajee m.....f....

if this thing IS gonna hit, it isn't big enough to be an ELE, so there will be a LOT of pissed off people in the aftermath.

on that thread saying it'll hit, the OP said our govs would warn us tomorrow

they BETTER HAD, if it is going to hit.

Where is it supposed to come closest to hitting? Because I'm guessing that since the math boys got the size wrong that the distance (due to mass) is wrong as well. Brings the question back to what is the CORRECTED trajectory ?

Is that you Bruce !!!!!! if so we have a little job for you

NASA site is now not ruling out 90m size. Currently you can only get to the "summary" page on it. But the range is now listed 40-90m.

19:00+ GMT is approx. closest approach right now.

im going to buzz your tower.. i like top gun..
