BREAKING NEWS --- Mars to be hit by massive comet! 40 billion nuke bomb size explosion! CONFIRMED!

sorry, that should be
' = 2.21 x 10^10 MegaTons TNT '

that's gonna split Mars into pieces, and most
of them will then come hurtling towards the Earth, and smash us all to smithereens!!!

CNN just reported on this for the first time a few minutes ago. Chad Myers was talking about it live on air.

Wow I am sleepy this morning!

corrections:

30 miles diameter comet @ 1000kg/m^3 density @ 56 km/s impact velocity
= 9.24 x 10^25 Joules released
= 2.21 x 10^10 MegaTons TNT
= 22,100,000,000 Megatons of TNT equiv energy

and would be the equiv of about 1.5 billion Castle bravo explosions...

I calculated the above using the parameters listed above.

The 1.3 billion Castle Bravos number used earlier came from the 20 billion megaton total earlier calculated by others that I used.


Its all guesses and will vary some depending on the actual size and density, but it all says in the same ballpark.

Even if we go very conservative and put this at 20 miles diameter(instead of 30) and reduce the density to 600 kg/m3(instead of 1,000), we still get

= 1.64 x 10^25 Joules
= 3.92 x 10^9 Megatons TNT
= 3,920,000,000 Megatons of TNT

So a very conservative estimate would put it at about 4 billion Megatons of TNT, or 266 million times the energy of the Castle Bravo explosion shown here.

The core of the comet will be moving 56 kilometers per sec when it smashes into Mars. The explosion it creates will be equal to 40 BILLION 500kt nuclear bombs(avg US and Russ arsenal weapon) going off at once, or 20 billion megatons of TNT, or 1.33 trillion Hiroshima bombs, or 1.3 billion Castle Bravo explosions. Its enough to kill all life on the planet if any were living there.

Astronomers predict a large-scale disaster on the Red Planet in October 2014, when a comet may ram into Mars, creating a 500-kilometer crater, the website of the Russian observatory ISON-NM said.

comet core 30 miles across
collision speed 35 miles per second (126,000 miles per hour)

It may make Mars temporarily as bright as the sun. The crater left behind will be 500 kilometers across. A lot of rock will be ejected into space and become stray asteroids. This will be an epic event.

You can bet every penny that everyone in the space industry will be studying this comet to find the true trajectory - and just as SL-9, all eyes will be on it.
I really really hope it hits. It will be amazing to see.

Astro Mutt has been all over this. He has done a fantastic job already...

Yeah, you'd think he 'owned' it.

Yeah, you'd think he 'owned' it.

screw that he's just an asshole, this threads op isn't tearing up everyone elses opinions, that is why so many dont like astro shill, He has to reply and discredit ay who don't agree with him, it's his ego.

I never said that. I said big events would happen soon that would make you unable to post your usual debunking theories here, since you would not be able to explain them anyway. Therefore, you will go back to your work or bunker wherever it is and will lose purpose of posting here.

Fortunately its not going to split Mars, but it will make a massive explosion and a big molten crater, and will send a bunch of ejecta into space. That means we would likely see a large increase in meteors here on Earth for a while.

Even better when another comet - there's a lot out there, you know - hits us. Maybe this Mars impact news for Oct 2014 may be a distraction for comet ISON due this November - we go through its tail in January 2014. This is no squirt like Elenin, a runt of a comet. It's a whopper.

have you ever seen a diamond shatter when the cutter
is doing the initial rough cut with a hammer and chisel?

Mars will shatter into a gidzillion pieces.
