WARNING–BREAKING NEWS: NASA Finds Near Earth Asteroid–Impact Possible!!!! | |
NawtyBits  User ID: 40296569  United States05/22/2013 03:58 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thoughts? The video seems to be discussed by someone with knowledge of the event... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32703806 [link to ultimatesurvival.net] Don't listen to Dr. Ass. He said nothing would happen on February 15th, 2013 and we all know how that turned out. What is interesting about the following recent an upcoming near earth asteroids (all the relevant data on them is available at [link to spaceweather.com] is that not only were all of them discovered only within the past week or so, but they all had or have relatively high orbital condition codes, which ranks orbital uncertainty between 0-9, with 0 being very certain, and 9 being highly uncertain. Not only that, but they all have a miss distance of under 10 LD, which is highly telling. 2013 JM22 2013 KQ1 2013 KA 2013 KT1 2013 KB 2013 KS1 They have a longtime uncertainty, not uncertainty if they will hit or not this time. They will not! I'm getting tired of people who can not find out the facts before they write a lot of nonsense here. I went over this yesterday, but it bears repeating: ... Quoting: Dr. Astro It's in reference to long term uncertainty, which is always high for a newly discovered asteroid. It says nothing about the chance for impact, especially in the short term. Please: 1. Explain the marked term and provide a reference with a technical definition and/or explanation of it. 2. The "Uncertainty Parameter U" is a "long term uncertainty"? Explain it and provide a reference. Thanks a lot. [link to www.minorplanetcenter.net] You can be quite uncertain about the orbital period and time of perihelion passage of a newly discovered asteroid, but still extremely certain that it won't hit you in the short term shortly after its discovery. Short arc = high uncertainty, but if that short arc of observations is close to the time of its perigee that you're "worried" about, you can still be certain whether it will hit you or not. Despite 859 observations made prior to impact, which was one of the most successful and rapid observation campaigns in history, the uncertainty code for 2008 TC3 (which hit earth) was still at a 4. [link to www.minorplanetcenter.net] And that's after those 859 observations are taken into account. It was immediately known that it would hit us in the short term even with just a few observations and what would have been an even higher uncertainty parameter. In fact I should probably do a whole thread explaining this subject with examples like this. You should. But, it is a waste of text. There are those who won't believe anything you say.

| Polarlight User ID: 4928643  Sweden05/22/2013 04:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation |  Nice afternoon doom with my coffee! It's probably nothing though. Hey what would have happened if the meteor actually hit Russia? What puzzles me is how it went unnoticed. Was it too small?? There's no doom, this rock safely passed by earth hours ago as it was predicted to. The Chelyabinsk meteor approached from the daylit side of earth. We can't discover asteroids with our telescopes, particularly small asteroids, in the middle of the day. We're only just now starting to put up space telescopes specifically to search the region of space between the sun and earth for undetected asteroids.

Dr. Astro Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 4211721 United States05/22/2013 04:17 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The question was for Dr. Astro Quoting: Polarlight 4928643 "Do you know if NEOSSAT working at 100% yet? Is the data available online like the data from Minor Planet Center?" As far as I know, NEOSSat hasn't had any discoveries yet. [link to neossat.ca] Also I cannot find an MPC code for NEOSSat, so they don't appear to even be contributing astrometric data yet. [link to www.minorplanetcenter.net]  |

Sounds like you are shilling. The question is, do you shill on your own or do you work for Dr. Ass? He's just an astro hater, theres no shortage here. One of the more ignorant ones too, as he apparently doesn't know Astro wasn't wrong on Feb 15, or just wants to lie about it to discredit him. Its been stated over and over, but then who would he have to project hate onto? Astro was right, the asteroid being studied that day didn't hit Earth and passed by with no effects. What happened was an incoming object from the direction of the sun (a completely DIFFERENT object) went undetected and exploded over Russia. That has nothing to do at all with Astro assuring everyone of the idiots claiming the last hit were wrong, it was a completely separate event that occurred the same day. I don't hate anyone. Certainly not Dr. Ass. I love Dr. Ass. I am here to help him. He is a very sick man, but brilliant nonetheless. I am here to try to help rehabilitate him and to save him from the dark side. |
