Asteroid TC3 is supposed to be travelling West to East over Sudan, entering the atmosphere at 10:48 ET with a velocity of 12.8 kilometers per second.
The asteroid is coming at a low angle. Many scientists are saying the asteroid entering the atmosphere can be compared to skipping a stone off the water.
Let's say this asteroid ends up skipping for a particularly long time. How long before it would be skipping over North America and the United States?
Here's a Pacific Ocean centered map-
[link to www.wikimapia.org]
The distance between Sudan and the West coast of the US is about 23,000 kilometers, the distance from Sudan to the East coast about 29,000 kilometers.
With a velocity of 12.8 kilometers per second, that would take about 30 minutes to go from Sudan to the West coast of the US, and about 38 minutes to the East coast.
So in that scenario, it asteroid TC3 could be traveling over the West coast of the US at approximately 11:18 ET, and over the East coast of the US at approximately 11:26 ET. Taking about 8 minutes to travel over the US if it survived.
Assuming that velocity slows down as it skipped across the atmosphere, this 8 minute window over the US would be pushed back to start as late as around 11:45 ET.
So if the asteroid survives or if any of the debris survives, it could be coming in over the US anywhere from 11:18 pm ET to around midnight ET. It might be worth it to poke your head outside now and then around those times to see if you see anything. Quoting: hatch battener 519352

did the sun come up or is this like a biiiiggg light
[ link to www.webworldcam.com]
the light is dimming slightly. I doubt this is a sunrise. You may have really found something here.
...can't tell its dimming... how often is it auto-refreshing?
Offical sunrise is 5:38am. My understanding is that is the time the orb of the sun intersects the horizon. This webcam is taken at 5:00am. My guess is this picture is of the sun coming up.

Anyone else completely disgusted by the lack of live news coverage on any media outlet?
BBC News - Nothing
Cnn - Is there even a CNN proper anymore? I got Nancy Grace and Anderson Cooper infotainment shows on...whatever happened to 24 hour news?????
FoxNews - Again, some bullshit show and no actual news.
Local News, Detroit - Local nonsense
Where is the live coverage? The first time ever we have had foreknowledge of an incoming meteor and...one lame little paragraph on the front of Yahoo?
Jesus.
CNN proper was killed after the Gulf War, it had served its purpose. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 502659

Not really my point, I'm just looking for some news org to actually get a crew there and point a camera. Seems like the least they could do. |

Can you say "Cluster munitions deployment" and "Sudanees pirate elimination" in the same sentance, out loud anywhere on earth without being heard? Not in todays Orwellian daymare. Git yer water distillers n seeds ready folks, thine calendar fades. Global economy is just the precursor. Our complacency continues to disgust our father. Feelin guilty yet?
Oh yeah, the pirates of the sudan dirty nuclear death ship. Here's a woo woo theory. They are going to light it up and need an exuse for the fire works

From COast to Coast Am
Small Asteroid Headed Our Way
A small space rock is on a collision course with Earth, and is expected to burn up in the atmosphere over Sudan in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Because it's so small, it's not expected to cause any damage, but it may appear as a bright fireball. Astronomers are excited because it's the first time such an impact has been predicted with near certainty. More at Space.com, plus Dr. Sky will comment on the event at the start of tonight's show. |
