OMG!!!! Nov 22 serious doom!!!

OOOOH SO FUCKN SCARED DUDE.....NOT!

OMG that's a Saturday! Doom!!

Impact risk for said comet.
(2004 XK3)

[link to neo.jpl.nasa.gov]

Diameter 0.044 km
Mass 1.1e+08 kg
Energy 2.3e+00 MT

i know i got my last AA meeting that night.i was so looking forward to getting my last chip .OH NO!the turkey dinner.

Funny that [link to www.spaceweather.com] doesn't list that one!
but this one one they do!

Comet Barnard-Boattini
Oct. 22

75 LD not to near

16

size unknown

[link to ssd.jpl.nasa.gov]

here is the orbit

83,660 miles is pretty far away and their calculations are pretty spot on!

i have been following it for awhile. Closest minimal miss distance I have ever seen on this link since I bagan watching during the 2002 neat event. There was one with a closer distance, but it hit the Sudan a few weeks ago.

2.3 megatons of tnt???? shit no wonder the boys in huntsville are up in arms..... that's a nuke!!!

"Will the Earth survive these challenges? Its integrity as a planet will, but life on its surface will be severely challenged - from a meteor once and from an asteroid a second time. Yet these will not be extinction level events: life will go on."

Its a pimple on the ass of a mite on the flea of a dog.

Sorry,
Your data is wrong, here's the data from JPL


(2004 XK3) 2008-Nov-22 0.0416 16.2 34 m - 77 m 24.4 7.81

.0416 is the AU Distance, NOT the Lunar Distance.
The Lunar Distance is 16.2 Way beyond the orbit of the Moon for the 2008-Nov-22.

did you run that ani to the date? it's right on top of us!!! were there any doom predictions for late nov? what about the web-bots?

Column Headings Description


Close-Approach Date Date and time (TDB) of closest Earth approach distance. "Nominal Date" is given to appropriate precision. The 3-sigma uncertainty in the time is given in the +/- column in days_hours:minutes format (for example, "2_15:23" is 2 days, 15 hours, 23 minutes).
Miss Distance (LD,AU) The most likely (Nominal) and minimum possible (Minimum) miss distances are given in LD (Lunar Distance) and AU. The minimum possible distance is based on the 3-sigma Earth target-plane error ellipse.
V relative (km/s) Object velocity relative to Earth at close-approach in km/s.
V infinity (km/s) Object velocity relative to a massless Earth at close-approach in km/s.
N-sig The factor by which the target-plane error ellipse must be scaled to allow for an Earth grazing impact.
H (Vm) Asteroid absolute V-magnitude (in general, smaller H implies larger asteroid diameter). Undefined for comets.

(AU) Astronomical distance Unit: 1.0 AU is about 1.5x10^8 km (roughly the average distance between the Earth and the Sun).
(LD) Lunar Distance: 1.0 LD is about 3.84x10^5 km or 0.00257 AU (the average distance between the Earth and the Moon).

Thats the nominal miss distance. Look at the minimum. .3 LD, .0009 au. Its gonna come somewhere in between, hopefully not on the minimum side, where gravity could pull it in.

that's the full reprint of the jpl page...it quotes miss distance of 0.3 lunar distances.....

again in miles

nice find

thanks for the work

it is close very close

anyone understand how big this is in feet!

thanks


ice

No, but it would really ruin my birthday on Sunday.

h

Some from NASA made a TYPO because the JPL site NEO
shows the data I previously posted and that is 16.2 LD not .3 LD

nominal of 16....minimum of .3.....that's way close....the nasa animation that ice posted shows it graphically... fuckers going to be right up our ass for 3 days....it isnt very big, but i sure wouldnt want to be under it....tunguska 2?

THIS DOOM DATE HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN OP!

1963

i didnt find it..got an email from a buddy that works for nasa contractors in huntsville... he linked the page, i figured i'd pass it on... he said they were saying how happy they were to be high enough above sealevel....

698 feet in diameter.(rounded up)

sorry for the wait Ice-- I would do the math for you but I don't think you'll find in necessary from me.

Actually, 2.3 megatons is a pretty big nuke. Tsar Bomba was 50 megatons, so it's much smaller than the biggest nuke ever triggered, but the typical nuke is somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 kilotons. For reference, the two dropped on Japan were around 20 kilotons each.

Not likely to hit, but if it does, you don't want to be wherever it lands.

Here is an impact calculator. You can see what kind of damage it will do, if it hits, by filling in the info on this link.
