2005 YU55 / New Madrid Fault | |
saros136  User ID: 3534731  United States10/29/2011 03:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, where do you get your information? Quoting: The 6th Sun "The trajectory of asteroid 2005 YU55 is well understood. At the point of closest approach, it will be no closer than 201,700 miles (324,600 kilometers) or 0.85 the distance from the moon to Earth. The gravitational influence of the asteroid will have no detectable effect on anything here on Earth, including our planet's tides or tectonic plates. Although 2005 YU55 is in an orbit that regularly brings it to the vicinity of Earth (and Venus and Mars), the 2011 encounter with Earth is the closest this space rock has come for at least the last 200 years." [link to www.nasa.gov] That does not mean it was closer at 200 years before present. |

| cat daddy User ID: 4356817 United States10/31/2011 02:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation |  An interesting aside: In the Duluth catalog Vol. MII No. 22, November 2011 Page 42 I quote: " In November 1911, an Artic wind now known as The Great Blue Northern sent temperatures across the US plummeting as much as 65 degrees in a matter of hours....end quote" Didn't we just experience an unusual storm this past weekend that caused snow to fall in quantities heretofore not seen at this time of year? Hmmmmm......... |

Quoting: The 6th Sun [link to www.nasa.gov] That does not mean it was closer at 200 years before present. It does not even mean it was as close 200 years ago. It sounds like NASA is saying that they have not found an approach as close in 200 years of back projection - the phrase "at least the last 200 years" suggests they gave up looking at that point. It might also be read to say they have not found a closer approach, i.e. there have been equally close approaches in the 200 year window - but such a coincidence would merit a more unambiguous statement than they offered. |
