| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1330946 United States04/06/2011 04:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | DOUBLE ASTEROID FLYBY TODAY: It's notable when an asteroid flies past Earth closer than the Moon. Today, April 6th, two asteroids will do this. Newly-discovered space rocks 2011 GW9 and 2011 GP28 will zip through the Earth-Moon system at Earth-distances of 77,000 km and 192,000 km, respectively. Quoting: Knowthyself33 1261566[link to spaceweather.com] Surely an astrologer would argue that this will have some affect on us here on earth. Why is nobody talking about this. The article linked is very brief. Does anyone know what time and in what direction they will be visible? Notice they are only recently discovered (this year) however they are obviously very close. That seems odd. Any thought from those GLPers with astronomy or astrology backgrounds on these asteroids? Thanks and have a great day. Shin this pit!  |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1261566 United States04/06/2011 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.wired.com] Two small asteroids will zip past Earth at distances closer than the moon April 6. Newly discovered asteroid 2011 GW9 flew within 48,000 miles of Earth twice Wednesday morning at 12:53 a.m. EDT [04:53 UT], according to the Jet Propulsion Lab’s Small Body Database. A second space rock, 2011 GP28, will slip within 120,000 miles of Earth at about 3:36 p.m. [19:36 UT]. GW9 is 20 feet to 46 feet across, and GP28 is between 12 feet and 26 feet across, making the bodies one-third to one-half the size of the object that slammed into a region near the Tunguska River in Russia in 1908. This time, there is no danger of a collision. Image: Asteroid Ida as imaged by the Galileo spacecraft in 1993. (NASA) |

Got a hut that's big Rick is on the way very very soon and it will knock out all power worldwide and create 500 ft tsunamis Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1329726Announcing it is "fireball season" is wierd. The fact that these were just discovered is also wierd. Did they decide to name/discover them because they knew that amature astronomers would see them? Not trying to doomify this occurence, however, it seems that there is some shit going down in the sky. Maybe SickSent is right about a plasma column entering our solar system. |
