Don't worry. I'll use my divine powers to cause the fragment to miss.
Don't forget to thank me, after. |

if they are tracking it - it isn't that small - they can hardly see shit unless it is good size |

"" Looks like they've made a change: "
I told you it could only be an error and most likely even the corrected value is faulty."
"Change" doesn't mean they changed the value, in fact it's the same but with increased precision
If that change serves anything, is to tell you they've made the calculations again and the numbers remain the same. So in fact it's even scarier.

Just found this thread, read the first few pages but can't be bothered to trail through all them.
Answer me this:
How close will the comet get? |

And if they can track it with any degree of precision... that means it's at least as large as a football field...
*frantically works slide rule*
Ok... so... land or sea?
First one to get the calculations right wave the lanterns...
One if by land... two if by sea.... |

No the numbers are not the same or do you think a comma move by a tenth is insignificant?

Well God, you should know!
About 5500 miles NASA reckon the minimum miss distance will be. I reckon it's bollocks though!
Correction, I'm HOPING it's bollocks! |

Keep quiet. You're track record on making accurate 'Doomsday' predictions, isn't any better than anyone else's here. Yours, like their's, stands at *exactly* 0%. |

Dilat,
The numbers did NOT move by a tenth.
the AU distance WAS 0.0001
It is NOW 0.00010 That is precisely the SAME except the trailing IMPLIED zero has been ADDED. |

The point he was making Dil, is that the figures they posted yesterday were thought by some of us to be a mistake, but today, they've ''corrected'' them to have it whizzing right over our heads! |

Dilat, I thought the same thing at first until I counted the zeros. It's... interesting that in refining their calculations there's more precision and less comfort. |

The minimum miss distance only tells us how close the fragment CAN get, not how close it WILL get, to earth. Chances are that any fragment is more likely to pass nearer to the midpoint between the maximum and minimum miss distances. |

Sure, but that's exactly the problem ... chances ... no one knows.

Hmmm I am still puzzled by that exceptional Minimum Nominal Distance ratio of almost 1/900.
Doesn't look right to me.
Compare it with the others.
That would mean they don't know where will pass by, it's between about 800.000 miles and at 9.300 miles.
