[quote:Anonymous Coward 4833990:MV8xNjk2NjIwXzI4MDQxNjY0X0U2NjREMkQx] [quote:Astromut:MV8xNjk2NjIwXzI4MDQxMjAxX0M3NUQyOTA0] Two suggestions, first, calm down. Second, study some basic astronomy. In particular, study the Dawes' limit and angular size. If you do, you'll realize the radar images of YU55 are very good. The asteroid is about 4 times as wide as ISS, but it'll be about 1000 times farther away, making it virtually impossible to resolve it as more than just a dot with optical telescopes. [/quote] Thank you for the response .. but 1. I am calm as a kitten and as curious as a cat. 2. Can you answer my questions as far as why the VLA has no pics of this thing? 3. What pics of this are you talking about other then the ones taken back in 2005 ( basically the same pic uploaded on 07/11/11 ) ? I would like to see more pics but I can not find them. 4. Why would only 2 radio dishes track this ? 5. I know its about 4 times wide as the ISS ( 400m ). 6. Why cant we resolve this ? Is it Too close ? .. Too Far ?? "Just a Dot" ?? I dont see why this particular object is So elusive to Anyone other then JPL or NASA.. Care to answer my top 5 questions in my post ? .. where is it..what mass/density..speed.. without those simple answers I dont know how JLP or anyone can for a fact give a perfect projectory of this. Oh..and Why cant/didnt the VLA radio this thing back in 2005 or '06,'07'08'09'10 and now not even a peep from them ( too busy looking at the vast nebulae out there ? Just wondering .. because there is its Gonna hit ( No proof and I dont think so as well ) .. and there is the its Not gonna hit .. (with little data other then some trajectories on a cool looking web page ). DATA .. Give the Data or we can not even begin to do research !! [/quote]
