HEADS UP!! (2005 YU55)

is yu55 gonna hit moon?

huh?

Like a thief in the night.

Uh oh

trouble ahead

The simulation I saw showed the moon well away from danger as well.

Too many to worry about just one. Too many to worry about period...

I don't think theres anything to worry about w/ this, they don't think we're at risk of impact by it for at least 100 years.

OMFG !!!!

YU55 will pass nearer to the Moon.

0.00160 au, or 239, 700 km

yes, i wrote "other", not "opposite"
[link to neo.jpl.nasa.gov]

"Although classified as a potentially hazardous object, 2005 YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over at least the next 100 years"

We'll be fine.

yep, it may hit the moon...probably not the earth

move the jpl java to November 8-9

here are the stats

the "diameter" is 3.6 times the length of a football field...there is no atmosphere on the moon--so it won't burn up...it may break up the moon---don't know---the bible says the moon will turn blood red...

herege2011 youtube shows the eliptic below the earth---that's not true---it is right in line with earth eliptic on November 8-9-----that is what is showing on nasa jpl

Well if that´s the sort of crap he spouts then rather not, what

I will translate it for you guys. Give me a while please. Thanks.

No need, you're already aware..

Hey, thanks for FREAKING me out!

The video above essentially shows asteroid 2005 YU55 slamming into our Moon in early November!

so forget about elenin hey ?????

Don't you think if NASAs' test was real then they would have done the practice a month earlier?
If they truly wanted to warn people then they would have done the practice before.
If they don't want to warn people, then why do the drill to start with?
Please reply with some sense

I don't get it. You woo woo people were sure the world was going to turn upside down on Sep 26.
If so, then why worry about any other dates after that?

Or is it the case that Sep 26 doom is off the table cos a better doom has come along.lol

Oh, if you like that one, you should totally see this one with the "English subtitles".

I'm not a "Woo Woo person" just making an observation...
Using logic.

Well, that is another way of saying 9/11 after all :)

And that's how us Brits would read November 9th - 9/11

it's funny how there is literally a threat every day, lol

Well, it looks like it's gonna smash Luna on 11/3...according to that simulation anyway.

Sucker sure looks "moonlike".

:asteroidyu55:

You guys are funny.

This will be yet another failed doom prediction.

But, hey, there's always another, right?

.
... of course!! ... THAT makes sense! ...
.
... wonder if they really care about what will happen? ...
.

Here's the complete translation for this video as requested. Karma points for my time are appreciated!!



"In social networks, an asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will pass between the Earth and the moon, and it has nothing to do with Comet Elenin. This space rock is named 2005 YU55, it will come within a distance of 326,740km. Astronomers say that this is the closest that an asteroid has come to our planet since 1976.

Despite scientists designating this object as potentially hazardous, there is no reason to fear. On Facebook, there are comments that suggest that Comet Elenin’s tail could push YU55’s trajectory off course, and redirect it towards our planet. However, Comet Elenin’s tail is less dense than the smoke of a cigarette.

In an initial estimation, it was believed that the asteroid had a diameter of 400 meters. Recently, the website SpaceWeather.com, which is a NASA website, published that the diameter is 175 meters and its orbit around the sun is of 14 years. The asteroid will come closest to our planet on November 8, 2011 at 23:28 hrs. This poses a bigger threat than Elenin since it YU55 will pass between the Moon and the Earth. These asteroids are potentially dangerous, because their encounters with planets such as ours could have devastating consequences.

The Asteroid 2005 YU55 was discovered by Spacewatch of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Tucson, Arizon. Said celestial object, will be the one with the greatest magnitude that has approached our planet since 1976. The next one will take place in 2028.

The website, The Times of India, calculates that if this asteroid were to impact, it would be the equivalent of 65,000 atomic bombs. It would leave a crater greater than 10km wide, and half a km deep. One of the greatest extinctions ever, affected life on Earth during the Triassic Period. And let us not forget the impact at Chicxulub in the Yucatan Peninsula which occurred 65 million years ago, and ended the dinosaur era, which dominated for 100,000 million years. The asteroid that made the dinosaurs extinct was 10km. Asteroid 2005 YU55, measures only 175 meters in comparison. However, for statistic purposes, an impact like that of Chicxulub will occur sooner than later. The question is; do humans possess the technology to deter an asteroid of that size.

Asteroids typically reside in the neighborhood between Mars and Jupiter in the area known as the Asteroid Belt. But the approximation of YU55 is the closest approach of a potentially hazardous asteroid we’ve had since 1976, when the Asteroid 1976 AA which measured 130 meters came within a similar distance. The reality is that our planet will witness the impact of a potentially hazard asteroid sooner than later.

The Asteroid 2005 YU55 is classified “potentially hazardous”. Not surprising, astronomers already have its trajectory well calculated. It will not impact our planet as many claim on social networks. Asteroid 2005 YU55 will be visible on November 8, 2011."

I'd like to make an edit since I left out one word. In the paragraph talking about Chicxulub, the narrator refers to the "Permian-Triassic Period", whereas I simply said, "Triassic Period". I do apologize for that. Thank you! Again, sorry.
