Potential Epic Comet Collision with Mars in 2014 *UPDATE: VIDEO ON FIRST POST*

Is this a possible scenario?

Did you draw that state of the art drawing???

Not unless earth decides to change directions in its orbit. Some ejecta might eventually reach us if it happens, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Cracks me up every time.

As the Doctor pointed out, the planets travel around the Sun in a counter-clockwise direction, meaning that Earth will actually be travelling AWAY from the point of impact at a speed of about 108,000 kph. Also, debris from any impact in the Martian orbit will have to travel about 54,600,000 km to reach Earths orbit.

If the comet hit mars the solar system will never be the same and we will all die.

yup. that pretty well sums it up.

What makes you think that?

nothing gonna happen. and you know that

No, I don't know that. At the very least, a comet is going to pass by Mars at such a close distance that Mars will be within the coma and micrometeoroids from the comet may even damage our probes. A direct impact between mars and the comet is unlikely, but it is possible. No one knows for sure whether it will happen or not. Why is it that so many GLP'ers hate not having an answer? It seems like everything has to have an answer one way or another, even if it's a wacky one. The truth is sometimes we just don't have the answer and this is one of those times. We will have the answer, and probably soon, but we don't just yet.

Because you think a 50km asteroid can destroy a 6,778 km planet?

It's called GLOBAL COOLING or if you prefer, call it ICE AGE.

Has anyone remote viewed the killshot with Ed Dames?

Let's end the uncertainty!

Poor granny, she dont know about the shills here.

By the way duc, you might want to start using my spreadsheet for yourself.

Clearly you could benefit from using it and avoid making ignorant threads.

I realize that as of now it is impossible to accurately predict a hit or miss on Mars. How long before the event can it be said with certainty (99% or greater) that it will or will not hit?
Thanks.

Hard to say, they just found some pre-discovery images of it from Pan-STARRS that gives us a much longer observation arc, but we still can't rule out the possibility. It may be weeks before we know for sure.

a question related to comets...
Is it normal to have so many visible comets in one year..(4 comets this year) and if not, why is there more traffic now?

If the Comet hits Mars, it will look like Super Nova right inside of our Solar system.
Can you imagine,... a god-damn Super Nova!?
Now you know why DHS is buying ammo by millions, because this will have consequences!

Sometimes we get no good comets in a year, sometimes we get multiple, it just depends. It's been a few years since we've had a good comet, so we're overdue. In 2002 we had a few awesome comets, including C/2002 T7 LINEAR, C/2002 V1 NEAT (though those two didn't start to put on their best shows until 2003), comet Ikeya-Zhang, and comet Kudo-Fujikawa which was also at around magnitude 6 late that year. This year Pan-STARRS, ISON, and Lemmon will be our best bets for good comets.

I'm sorry but that really doesn't make sense. I don't think there's going to be massive civil unrest because Mars took a whack.

It's GLP, no-one said it has to make sense! :p

LOL, fair enough.

It makes sense if you are a Stock Market technical analyst.
I have been looking for this event since 2006.
At that time I already knew that something was not right.
My first confirmation came in 2009 and the next one should be in 2015. If it comes through, all the hell will break loose soon after that... in 2016.
But of course, this is GLP and nobody is credible here.
However, we are by far more honest than FOX or CNN.

I am not saying that Dr. Astro is not correct but we must be cautious of anyone or any organization saying that the trajectory of this Comet is known with certainty.

Comet C/2013 A1 is a non-periodic Comet. Here is what Wikipedia say about non-periodic comets:

"Non-periodic comets (or long-period comets) are comets that do not have confirmed observations at more than one perihelion passage,[1] and thus generally have orbital periods of 200 years or more. They include single-apparition comets that pass through the Inner Solar System only once. They are on unstable near-parabolic orbits that will not return to the vicinity of the Sun for hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years – if ever."

So, if NASA knew that a comet was on a collision course with Earth in 2014, would they say anything? No, instead they would say that the Comet would hit Mars in 2014.

Huh ?

No one has said anything with certainty, infact Astro has mentioned several times this is an uncertainty.

Not sure what your quarrel is.

We are in agreement then...over the uncertainty.
