I still believe in finding the truth for yourself but Astro has had a pretty spot on track record. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34983804 Not pretty spot on, he is spot on, and in my opinion helps hush some of the more dramatic of the fear mongering here. Always look forward to seeing astro reply in a thread and dispel the loons.. now onto the lost continent found.. |

These are most definitely not lense flares. Meteors happen. People are suddenly paying more attention and looking for them now that the Russian meteor happened. February historically has been known to have an increased rate of fireballs. I'm 56. I don't recall anything like what we've been experiencing lately. Lots of fireballs isn't normal in any month, |

Lot of people get mad because they are trying to get hits on their blogs/websites or sell BS books to people with fear mongering tatics. Astro is bad for bad businesses for people who rely on misinformation and scare tactics. Make no mistake people make a living off half-truths and flat out lies and those people do not want the truth to get out. Best line I ever heard was “The world is going to end in 6 months buy my book now!” I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |

While i understand the importance of an authority figure such as dr. astro i also know i can find that view in the hundreds of main stream science websites out there. I come here in large for entertainment and an occasional escape into a world of infinite doom possibilities and frankly the OP makes it all so mundane. Next time i need to "come down to earth" i'll visit the NASA website but until then i'll take the wingnuts that make GLP colorful and fun. |

It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense. They thus become part of the armies of the night, the purveyors of nitwittery, the retailers of intellectual junk food, the feeders on mental cardboard, for their ignorance keeps them from distinguishing nectar from sewage. — Isaac Asimov |

Quoting: DVCMCM You know... Astro's garbage fakery stuff. It's against the rules to leave karma with a falsely signed name. If you believe that's really what happened, report it to the mods. I've had falsely signed karma taken off my page before. I should warn you though, that's not what happened, and they probably won't appreciate the frivolous, false report. |
