Asteroid 2012 DA14 is getting bigger and bigger. WTF?

Swelling, lol

That is because Dr Astro is a

Father Ted!

I was just watching that today. Have all three seasons. xD

Strange how when he was at the fortune teller's tent during the first episode he drew three death cards, and died after the third season, isn't it?

Excuse me? I'm an amateur astronomer, I have no reason NOT tot tell the public everything I know. It's right there in the video dude, H = 24.4 according to my calculations. In other words, if the asteroid's albedo were an average .15 or so, the size would be about 45 meters. That's even smaller than NASA's estimate. If it's a dark rock with an albedo of about 0.05 then the size is about 78 meters according to my calculation of its absolute magnitude. By NASA's it would be about 89 meters with an albedo of 0.05.

When it fails to hit on Friday, I will be vindicated, proven not to be a shill, and you will be leaving the forum as you promised.

Actually by amateur observations the size seems to be a bit smaller than what NASA is saying, not larger.

I never promised I would leave this forum regardless of whatever happens. Stop puttin' words into my mouth. Quote if you can, Dr. Shill.

Near hit

Oh don't worry, Astro Nut will say it is 5 centimeters and it will NEVER hit ANYTHING......He always has all the answers..Just ask him!!!!

Don't hate a guy that clearly knows what he's talking about, makes you look like a complete nob.
How the fuck is he a Shill? half the time I swear people just say that because they haven't the brains to understand the info put forward.

Which third of Earth ie North/South America, or Europe/Middle East or China/India, is asteroiod passing by????????

And BTW I thought his simulation was brilliant!

The problem is your doing calculations that nasa has given the figures for. None of us beleive anything coming out of nasa. Besides.. The accuracy and predictive nature of certain remote.viewers have a better track record than you.. And they seem.to think some causes a coastal event ..possibly from a rock hitting the pacific anytime.bewteen now and june.

Your just another paid shill who jas infiltrated this forum and need to steer way clear of anything revolving around space here.. We simply dont beleive in nasa and this shit from them that you parrot back to us in every damn thread relating to asteroids or.comets..

Nature says you're wrong.
Is there anybody her who actually made it into highschool?

If you're outside a space station in orbit around the Earth and let go of an object.
What does the object do?



What do you mean again?
DA14's trajectory is the same as the one published in March 2012.
The error bars are smaller now.



Since you obviously don't know the difference between weather and falling we expect you to get an education.

Celestial motions are simple ballistic trajectories, governed only by gravity.
Weather on the other hand is about the most chaotic system imaginable.
(Chaos Theory was invented by a meteorologist.)

BTW, 80 years ago you would have gotten zero hours warning.



Fuckin' NO!

What the fuck is wrong with people?
We've know for CENTURIES that objects with different masses wil fall at the same rate.

The "figures" come from astronomers from all over the world.
The math can be found in books from the 18th century.

You, sir, are a fucking idiot.

If the thing was going to hit, they don't know exactly where. So why would they warn anyone? What would that accomplish except chaos.

Italy specifically the seven hilled city

Ha!! too funny. I'm glad my honey is in a plain plastic bottle.

Somebody has to put that asshole ehm i mean Dr.asstroll in his spot.
and

Very few, and of those that did, almost none took any maths or science.



Arrogant Ignorance is what.
They are at a 5 year-old level arguing with Ph.D.s. It's laughable.
Plus, they're 400+ years behind in their studies.
Galileo's Pisa experiment showing gravitational acceleration is independent of mass:

lmao classic

Yeah, totally agree near enough every thread I look at has post from this dude and they're always right.

Other than the fact that NASA isn't providing the data from which the orbit is found you may want to also re-evaluate your opinion of NASA:

Track records on celestial doom:
NASA/scientists/rationalists - 100%
kooks/crackpots/trolls/scammers - 0%

I'd say that relying on NASA/scientist data is infinitely better than relying on Rubetube psychotic morans for information.

My cat has a better track record than the "out-of-the-box-thinkers".

PlanetX/Nibiru/Wormywood, etc.
Elenin
Tu24
any asteroid
any comet & its "debris trail"
any solar flare or CME
etc.
... all have been big fails for the woowoos.
0% accuracy for their psychotic predictions.

Who to believe?
100% correct or 0% correct?
That's a tough one.

Earth MOID data is wrong

Dude, so right on, they have no friggin clue.

That's actually true when you think about it. The mass would be so important, let alone size to figure it out properly.

"2012 DA14 is a fairly typical near-Earth asteroid. It measures some 50 meters wide, neither very large nor very small, and is probably made of stone, as opposed to metal or ice. Yeomans estimates that an asteroid like 2012 DA14 flies past Earth, on average, every 40 years, yet actually strikes our planet only every 1200 years or so."

So they even don`t know the asteroid is made of. Will it hit earth, it will be a big difference if it made of stone or ice.


...and:

"2012 DA14 will definitely not hit Earth," emphasizes Yeomans. "The orbit of the asteroid is known well enough to rule out an impact."


Definitely? Nothing in nature is definitely, its all chaos.
