You need to stop responding. they are just trying to get under ya skin and its working. You are such a smart guy, yet so fucking dumb.

Did you name DA14?

Who told you were to look in the sky?

I already checked what it was. It was DA14. The mistake I made occurred just now, not back then when I actively knew what time it was because I was living in that moment. You people are unbelievable.

Ok, wait a minute, when you first got the coordinates for the DA14, where did you get them from? I mean, did you just know that the rock was DA14 instinctively or did you discover it yourself? My point is that the initial information about DA14, so that the orbit could be calculated, had to come from somewhere. Was it from NASA? I am not saying you are right or wrong, just that your info had to start somewhere.

edit: Oops, I guess the question had already been asked before I posted.

The name is systematic based on the date and order of discovery. I told me where to look based on my calculations of its orbit.

That is my exact location.

Question:

NASA told everyone that the Chelyabinsk meteor had 10,000 tones:

The Russians said only 10 tones:

Who is lying here?

I'm so affraid to ask "which ones are the incompetent assholes that can't differentiate a 10 tones from a 10,000 tones meteorite" beacause a 9,990 margin of error speaks "I have no f***ing clue of what I am talking about" from both sides, and this idea is to say at least, incredible terrifying.

Dr. Astro, we would not be having this conversation had the "cosmic coincidence" not taken place over the same region of Russia where "DA14" was to pass.

Oh well, I don't care. The asteroid was still in space 8 hours later. You have no idea how to identify an asteroid, I do, yet you seem to think you can lecture me about it.

Okay thats it...

FUCK YOU, you giant piece of shit.

You're trolling, posting unfounded accusations, demanding answers from a stranger who owes you nothing until he shows up, insulting him when he does, and all the while having the fucking gall to debate him when you obviously have no knowledge of astronomy what-so-fucking-ever.

And then you accuse him of being a shill on top of it? With no evidence?

FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. It's turds like you who are wrecking GLP and making it damn near impossible to flag the real shills. How fucking dare you conduct yourself like this, and then ask for something? I don't care if Astro is a fucking shill, that would still make him degrees better than human shit like you.

Astro, circle the asteroid on your photo.

When you are so dismissive of laypersons it makes you seem like you have an agenda.

If you are getting so PO'd that you are telling posters to F off are we really to believe you post here at nearly 3 am Eastern time just for fun?

it's in the middle, you dumb shit.

I'm here at 3am for fun, and I'm telling you to fuck off.

Lolol.

Well, so be it. I believed in you Dr., until just a few days ago. You have let me down.

A "cosmic coincidence" is hard to refute, especially when it occurs over the same region as the asteroid you were tracking.

The simplest explanation, when faced with this astronomically improbable event, is that the Chelyabinsk "meteor" and DA14 were one and the same.

Could you also info Dr astro to stop feeding the trolls? Dude can track near earth objects, but cant tell he is being trolled. wtf?

I couldn't help but notice all the names I was being called and how I was being called out even before I saw the thread, so yes, I responded and no that did not put me in a particularly good mood. Attacking my motives, which are nothing but honest, does not help matters. It just makes me more PO'ed.

Oh, the angry shill. Looks like logic was about to pound Dr. Circle the asteroid.

"And nothing of value was lost."

Right, which is why I was able to photograph it 8 hours later...

From Wiki

WOW CHECK THIS OUT! "ASTEROID FAMILIES"

The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The asteroid belt is also termed the main asteroid belt or main belt to distinguish its members from other asteroids in the Solar System such as near-Earth asteroids and trojan asteroids. About half the mass of the belt is contained in the four largest asteroids, Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea. These have mean diameters of more than 400 km, while Ceres, the asteroid belt's only dwarf planet, is about 950 km in diameter.[1][2][3][4] The remaining bodies range down to the size of a dust particle. The asteroid material is so thinly distributed that numerous unmanned spacecraft have traversed it without incident. Nonetheless, collisions between large asteroids do occur, and these can form an asteroid family whose members have similar orbital characteristics and compositions.

A friend of mine saw a meteor over NZ yesterday, traversed a large portion of the sky before burning up.

I didn't attack until you acted like everyone on here should know how to ID it.

So go ahead and educate the laypeople by circling the asteroid. Or will you or your buddy insult a bit more?

Astromut; I think hes's just telling it like it is eh.

The whole universe is going to crap now we have "DYSFUNCTIONAL ASTEROID FAMILIES" LOL ;)

Is it entertaining to you to make fun of people in severe pain and suffering? This man has no life but to die and your posting his picture making a joke..

Your a utterly despicable piece of slime
