Potential Epic Comet Collision with Mars in 2014 *UPDATE: VIDEO ON FIRST POST* | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34249989 United States 03/04/2013 04:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you deny that we have tracked many smaller asteroids than the estimated size of the russian meteor? So remind me again how NASA didn't detect this meteor when they detect countless others that are smaller than this.. Use your head.. Quoting: SnakeBite BY THE WAY, IT was tracked, noticed and named... You cn look it up on spaceweathers website in the archive. You wanna run that one past me again as to how we apprently DID NOT track it? but as i CLEARLY FOR THE RETARDS stated, it is a small insignificant rock that poses no real threat to Earth... Ok we tracked the russian meteorite but failed to alert the townsfolk it was about to explode over their heads? Dude you are literally retarded. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34249989 If asteroids are able to rip through undetected at any time and kill untold amounts of people why the fuck do we fund asteroid tracking programs? The Russian meteor was 17 meters wide, with a mass of 10,000 tons, before it entered Earth's atmosphere. Do you deny that we have tracked many smaller asteroids than the estimated size of the russian meteor? So remind me again how NASA didn't detect this meteor when they detect countless others that are smaller than this.. Use your head.. How many times do people have to tell you. It came from the direction of the sun. THERE IT IS! Was waiting on someone to say that. Now, with satellites on both the front and back side of the sun (need links?) I don't see how this is an issue. How exactly do you suppose that the GOES satellites would track an asteroid considering they were never designed to do such a thing. I dont need the link to either as i have live links to them open 24/7, as does GEO, so your point was??? Here you go with your knowledge from nowhere about what the GOES can do. Bring it to me and prove it bro. Otherwise your listening to nasa. |

NASA (the "authorities") did detect the meteor. they just didn't tell anybody, because there's nothing anyone could have done about it :) 17 meters wide weighing 10000 tons (WOW YOUR NUMBERS ARE BEYOND OFF) is like a speck of sand in the ocean. It is absolutely NOTHING. Scientists are very good at measuring things that are the size of "next to nothing" with great precision.

That video really brought them out.. Just look at the last few pages. Nothing but trolls trying to derail this thread. 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.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30178685 United States 03/04/2013 05:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No one is keeping nothing from us, NASA and other space agencies and observatories got all the good equipment and they can track it the best. But there are thousands of backyard astronomers who do this stuff as a hobby, and they are pretty good at it. They have the coordinates for this comet and are watching/tracking it so even if someone was keeping something from us these people would let the truth out. Don't tell me backyard astronomers are idiot either because they don't have the equipment like NASA. You are the same people who thought the mayans and Sumerians were predicting the end of the world with their astronomical data. They were wrong with with their thoughts of the end of days but were spot on with their data and they didn't even have telescopes. So these backyard astronomers are legit. Good job dr. Astro. Look forward to further findings. |

As has long been speculated, Life on Earth started after the proper organic materials may have been delivered to Earth through cometary or asteroid bombardment... organic materials which when mixed with materials already existing on earth, triggered the birth of some of the first single celled organisms... Humankind may be about to witness the Hand of God at work in the Creation of a new life form, right in our own backyard! |

That's because you apparently don't understand that those satellites are not designed to search for small, dim, near earth asteroids, nor are they trying to. We are only now beginning to design and launch satellites to try to cover that blind spot ( [link to www.asc-csa.gc.ca] ), but woe is me, we don't have complete coverage so according to you we should just give up and stop searching. Do you not realize how idiotic that is? It's not all or nothing. We can detect some asteroids that size, but not all. That is not an excuse to not try to search for them. I realize that people like you are uncomfortable with things like this that don't fit neatly into such all or nothing paradigms, which is why you react poorly to it. |
Dr. Astro (OP) Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 33360181 United States 03/04/2013 06:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LOL, you again, trying to suggest that a two-body simulation is a superior calculation for determining a potential impact compared to a series of monte carlo solutions integrated using the gravity of all the planets. Classic Dunning-Kruger. It's amazing though; that particular two-body java applet comes with a warning on the JPL site that specifically says not to use it for planetary encounter circumstances, yet you still don't seem to get it. |

Will you be able to see it from The Observatory up mount Teide in Tenerife, Canary Islands? I hope so, I'll be living about 20 mins from there very soon. There is a hotel near it where you can stay it gets pack with amateur Star Gazers etc. |
Dr. Astro (OP) Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 33360181 United States 03/04/2013 06:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know virtually nothing about astronomy, but I think it is clear that Dr. Astro knows about 100,000 times more about it than the average "rebuttal" poster. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34894122 As always, time will tell who is right and who is wrong, but thanks very much for the video and summary, Dr. Astro. Remember, "scientiests" for thousands of years adamantly maintained that the Earth was flat. Back then, you can be certain "Dr. Astro" would have been one of them. The vulger and crude one of them. Actually scientists for thousands of years now, since the time of Eratosthenes, have known that the world was round. In fact, Eratosthenes even measured its circumference. It was the uneducated class who continued to hold onto superstitions about the shape of the world, scholars knew the truth because they had studied the empirical data and understood it. Some things never change, some idiots continue to believe it's flat. Just fewer than before, thankfully, but in some ways the public understanding of science is still very poor. |
