Astro.
Make a thread helping us find Near Earth Objects.
twelve sizable meteorite touch downs in 5 days... Large enough to cause shock waves of destruction.(I am avoiding the natural accumulation of meteorites in a Earth year because the normality of size of these in the past five days is not normal.
How have you not done a thread yet???
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13871590 These are all pretty small objects, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. None of them are nearly as big as the Russian one. It would take a systematic search by a very powerful telescope like the GLP main scope. I am working on searching for another object which has been lost for several decades and has a very slim chance of hitting earth and making even Apophis look like a walk in the park. Due to its size it's within the grasp of a scope like mine. Quoting: Dr. Astro sounds interesting the lost object,hope you rediscover it,i wont ask what it is even though im curious,or else everyone will be looking too lol. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34810526 Well my goal is to directly search for where it would be if it were going to hit us. We have no idea where it is, only what its orbit looks like, which is why there's a slim chance of impact a few decades from now when our planet intersects its orbit. Bottom line, hopefully I don't rediscover it or else it means it could hit us. Hopefully nothing's there where it would have to be in order to hit us. Still working on it though. Quoting: Dr. Astro So that means you know the orbit approx, but not where exactly the object is in the orbit, i guess i may not want to rediscover it either if finding it was bad.Still very interesting though.
