Killer Comet/Asteroid QJRouge: So..its another end of days threat between September 15/....28th...2 miles wide. hmmmmmm...see you in Heaven/ Hell/ or here when the time comes....or doesn't..come..  davidk14: . Um...before you start counting down to the end of life as we know it....um.....what exactly is the threat?  ,  Geoff: I seem to recall NASA saying that it definitely wasn't going to hit us. When I get off work I'll hunt for the article.  Outbackjack: Can we pencil that in for Monday the 28th as I will be back at work then? I plan on taking a week off and big heavenly objects will get in the way of me getting a decent tan. Geoff: http://www.nasa.gov/jpl/nasa-there-is-no-asteroid-threatening-earth http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/11815842/Dont-panic-there-is-no-asteroid-threatening-Earth-says-Nasa.html http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/aug/21/nasa-says-the-world-is-not-going-to-end-in-september  lori100: ...you're supposed to wait until the asteroid's about to hit to say that...you must have gotten drunk at lunch...lol.... ...........and do you really think NASA would say "yes, an asteroid will hit the Earth in September....good luck everyone..." ?? Geoff: Do you really think NASA are the only people in the world who could spot such an object in the vicinity of earth and accurately predict if it would hit us? NASA simply tend to be the go-to people for public-friendly explanations of what happens in space. lori100: extremetech-----First, the erroneous rumor: A massive asteroid will smash into our planet, ‘evidently’ near Puerto Rico, sometime between September 15th and 28th, 2015 that will cause tremendous destruction on the US Atlantic and Gulf coast, as well as Mexico, Central America, and South America. “There is no scientific basis — not one shred of evidence — that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates,” said Paul Chodas, manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, in the statement. “If there were any object large enough to do that type of destruction in September, we would have seen something of it by now.” The actual truth is that NASA has been monitoring these things, courtesy of the Near-Earth Object office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and every known object on the list has less than a 0.01 percent chance of impact within the next 100 years. The agency tracks and records asteroids and comets passing within 30 miles of Earth using both ground- and space-based telescopes, it said in the statement, and that there are no known credible threats to date — “only the continuous and harmless infall of meteroids, tiny asteroids that burn up in the atmosphere.” Also, NASA normally knows exactly when something like this would happen if it were true, and wouldn’t give a ridiculous two-week window of uncertainty, given that right now we can calculate the exact date of Halley’s comet’s return on July 28, 2061 down to the minute. -------------------------------------Neil de Grasse Tyson says this meteor will pass by Earth on Friday the 13th ,2029 and might hit the Earth 2036---bigger than the one that destroyed the dinosaurs...it is the size of the Rose Bowl...----- lori100: yes, the public depends on NASA...would you really expect them to tell everyone time is running out in less than a month? lori100: ....see?....they said in my article "there are no known threats ".....and Tyson said a huge meteor WILL pass on an exact date and might hit later...like I said many times before...NASA lies.... QJRouge: I am so far north the ass tar ....oid wont have much effect...except some cloud which is here any way QJRouge: 18 days remaining...I keep an eye on the sky and should be able to see this killer comet, but so far...no sign of it QJRouge: Is next week's labour day celebration to be our last....Stay tuned to Radio Station Panic In The Sky....We will give you all the answers on September 15th...well maybe the 16th....or 17th and maybe not until the 28th....hmmmmmm | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
