Hi Astro thats awesome, question to the expert, what would a size asteroid do if it impacts, just an idea i know most would burn up but 1 meter perhaps would impact what would that do lets say on land.

[link to twitter.com (secure)]
It's a small asteroid, just about 6 meters wide. It is well positioned for viewing from the US prior to closest approach, though because of its small size it will be far too dim to see by eye. I should be able to track it and webcast it with my telescope. I will webcast it on Wednesday night if the weather allows.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56034153

If it were to hit it with most likely fragment during atmospheric entry and cause an air burst. The bits that hit the ground would be relatively small and not able to do much damage, but the air burst could produce a shock wave that would blow out windows below the spot where it explodes.

cool.

Does the US military watch these satellites closely?

Cool, if it has a bunch of debris with it it could take out a satellite, and then start a chain reaction with satellites destroying each other, just like the movie "Gravity."

i say this because in the animation, it clearly doesn't alter it's course due to passing the moon's gravity.

therefore, this is hiding the moon impact probability.

Does a weakened magnetosphere allow for potential Earth impacts of NEA's?

The magnetosphere has nothing to do with NEAs.
 Quoting: Astromut


Wouldn't a strong magnetosphere either burn up most asteroids that enter our atmosphere or send them bouncing into space compared to a weak one meaning more asteroids get to earth's surface with a weak magnetosphere.

I'm thinking of Apollo 13's re-entry window.

It will smash into a satellite...that debris will hit other satellites which sets up a chain reaction that takes out all satellites in orbit (except the moon).

Would this be a good comparison as to what would happen if it did happen to hit?
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Way less than 50%
"Due to its high velocity and shallow angle of atmospheric entry, the object exploded in an air burst over Chelyabinsk Oblast, at a height of around 29.7 km (18.5 mi; 97,000 ft).[7][8] The explosion generated a bright flash, producing a hot cloud of dust and gas that penetrated to 26.2 km (16.3 mi), and many surviving small fragmentary meteorites, as well as a large shock wave."

 Quoting: HaileMenelik


As quoted in this article “NASA dismisses this as an internet hoax”..

Of course we know better than to listen to them who are exposed liars.

The image you are showing is from 2015 (old hat) many of these second sun sightings are called Nibiru. There is only one Nibiru, so they cannot all be it.

We actually have 7-8 main bodies inbound. The effect you are seeing such as in this picture, is due to a refraction of light. It’s a unique effect that historically has been isolated to one region at a time. So it’s not like this was visible to all on the planet on this said day.

[link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)]

The common internet debunk will be that these are lens flares caused by a camera. Or even that it was filmed through glass. Sometimes this is the case, but Clearly many are not Lens flares or filmed through glass.

There are ways to test this that many have proved. I’ve seen many examples with reflections of the said object off of water or other surfaces.

This guy has also captured this object behind clouds.



Do your own research and don’t rely on others to think for you :)

Filter flare commonly occurs directly opposite the optical axis (i.e., center of the frame) from an excessively bright light source.
