| Inerrancia (OP) User ID: 18792782 Spain04/08/2013 09:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Much more distant seems to be (but tempus fugit, you know) the impact on Earth of asteroid 1950 DA, with around 1 Km diameter, and awaited for the year 2880. Quoting: Inerrancia I wonder what the year 2880 will be like. Apart from catastrophic...  Yep, and that shall be if there's a year 2037  |

| Polarlight User ID: 27090538  Sweden04/09/2013 04:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The question about asteroid 99942 Apophis is now a classic object of discussion on the possibility-probability-sure as matter of fact-nonsense crap about his impact on Earth (or on the Moon) in 2029 or, with more plausibility, in 2036. Quoting: Inerrancia Before that, there are expected to come back to our vicinity the asteroids Icarus (2015) and 1997XF11 (2028). Much more distant seems to be (but tempus fugit, you know) the impact on Earth of asteroid 1950 DA, with around 1 Km diameter, and awaited for the year 2880. ...and, of course, there's a lot of unexpected objects spinning and running at cosmic speed over up there. As you know, the recent russian meteorite was smaller than 20 meters, and you can see the consequences... It seems that the biggest and oldest impact happened on Greeland, some 3 BY ago, leaving a nice 600 Km/diameter crater. Well... Icarus will not get closer than about 0.05 AU, which is the distance to the moon x 23 (23LD) 1997 XF11 will be a little closer but still no closer than the distance to the moon x3 (3LD) |

The figures on the orbit of Apophis were corrected in several occasions, for example (and just some few years ago)...  Last Edited by Inerrancia on 04/10/2013 03:37 PM |

We should have already started. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37187498 Do you think we have the tech & the human "right stuff" for it today? Last Edited by Inerrancia on 04/10/2013 03:33 PM |

Anyway, it's well known science to figure out celestial bodies motion. They follow the laws of nature, according to Kepler's laws. Sometimes it can take time to figure out the exact path and then needed more observations. Both asteroids you counted up have over 100 observations, and the trajectories are well known. :-) The real problem is not the asteroids we found, but we have not found |
