IRAS Telescope at risk of colliding with another satellite TONIGHT! 1 in 20 Chance!

You can just ban him and play with the rest of us 1%'ers~

You were always the intelligent guy on this site, debunking all the crap, I respect you, not taking the piss, just pointing it out is all.

I already qualified my post by telling you the odds. Was it really necessary to try to make the case that I shouldn't have even bothered? Despite the low odds, if it actually happens, if I actually film it, and then bring that film here thereby acknowledging my foreknowledge of the event but I didn't say anything about it beforehand, how would that look?

hmmmm

Im glad for the info, its relevant.

Let's buy it, we could pay for the rescue then sell the images for a profit!

Definitely dont mean to seem like a worry wart here but this is very serious. An ever expanding debris cloud from an impact could jeopardize a ton of satellites and personal in coming days weeks months and years.

Nice post Astro.

Satellite doom!

Built for the sole purpose of verifying the object.. Nibiru

After the probes Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 triangulated it

Built in record time and launched and aimed in only one direction...where the probes had been

Had special gases and lens to look at a black dark cold object

Once it verified Nibiru the mission was over...it never looked at or was pointed at any other location in space

Within 6 months of verifying a massive object...our government and other nations went gangbusters building underground bunkers and expanding FEMA and COG protocols

IRAS and what they found was headlines in Washington Post, New York Times, and other major papers in the mid 1980's

IRAS was built to look at Nibiru

Nowadays it tracked from the South Pole Telescope SPT in Antarctic

Wrong. It was built to survey the sky in far infrared, they didn't build it for "Nibiru." It surveyed the whole sky, not "one direction." You are a liar.

No I have the original Scientific Britannia Encyclopedia from 1984 or so with a special 30 page very detailed complete story about IRAS

It has countless original JPL and NASA colored photos and statements from the engineers and scientists

At the end of the article it states IRAS found a huge massive body within our Solar System at the out reaches

IRAS was tasked with looking exactly where the Pioneer 10 and 11 found something

Built in record time for one purpose

My hardback scientific book is the most detailed book and 30 plus page article ever written on glossy paper

From 1984 or 1985

No it didn't. They found multiple unidentified point-like light sources that later turned out to be galaxies and interstellar clouds. they surveyed the whole sky. They did not just point it in one direction. You flat-out lied about that. You're done here.

IRAS data from the whole sky.

they did not point it in just one direction, you can download all of the image data that it collected, you lied. End of story.

Well I gave Asto FIVE.

If you were truly contrite, then apologetic would be the term, however you being "sorry" with all the negative connotations of being a complete loser that no mother would love and even Jesus hates seems quite appropriate for you.

Yup, just as you said Astro, here's the entire Britannica article. . .

Infrared Astronomical Satellite
ASTRONOMY

WRITTEN BY: David M. Harland
Alternative Title: IRAS

Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), U.S.-U.K.-Netherlands satellite launched in 1983 that was the first space observatory to map the entire sky at infrared wavelengths.

After a series of brief studies by infrared instruments carried on sounding rockets had detected about 4,000 celestial sources of infrared radiation, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands built IRAS to map the sky at infrared wavelengths of 12, 25, 60, and 100 micrometres. It was launched on January 25, 1983, on a Delta rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California into a polar orbit at an altitude of 900 km (550 miles).

Its 60-cm- (24-inch-) diameter telescope was cooled by superfluid helium that chilled the structure down to 10 K (-263 °C, or -442 °F) and the detector to 2 K (-271 °C, or -456 °F). This was necessary because if the telescope were not cooled down, its own thermal radiation at infrared wavelengths would swamp the much fainter radiation from astronomical objects. During each orbit, IRAS scanned a strip of sky 30 arc minutes wide, and successive strips overlapped by 15 arc minutes to ensure that nothing was missed. On its first day of observations (February 10, 1983), it doubled the number of known infrared sources. Its operational life was defined by the rate at which it consumed its coolant, and it had to be shut down on November 21, 1983, by which time it had noted over a quarter of a million sources. Various preliminary data sets were released between 1984 and 1986, and these were then refined several times to produce the final IRAS Sky Survey Atlas, which was published in 1993.

IRAS proved adept at discovering comets (it is credited as “discoverer” of six of them). It revealed that some young stars have disks of minute solid dust particles, suggesting that such stars are in the process of forming planetary systems. IRAS also discovered many previously unknown galaxies that emit most of their energy in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (these are known as ultraluminous infrared galaxies), apparently owing to a massive burst of star formation during the merger of two galaxies.

Good luck would be amazing if you catch them passing each other. Really don’t want a collision.

V IRUs


You're welcome

are these nuclear powered?


what's the odds we open a time portal and bring back the dinosaurs or better yet George Washington to go slap the sh*t out of Congress?

Astro will it be visible in Australia? If so, what time?

Cheers

When you play AD&D, you discover the probability of hitting a Critical Miss.

...the worst possible time.

So directly over Pittsburgh? I'm about 40 miles east, I bet I could see this, but chances are slim, it's January in PA, it will for sure be cloudy

Astro, would you please report back here in your thread in 2 days to let us know pass or collide? Appreciate the heads up for those of us who can’t know otherwise.

Sure, just look down. The collision is over Pittsburgh PA in the USA.

You can’t see the collision unless Mr Astro posts a video, or you have X-ray eyes.

However, after this large collision there may be more, lots more collateral collisions. And, comm, weather, GPS, TV, etc may be affected.

But GLP effect will keep any DOOM from happening.

what if he comes back and reports 2 days ago instead?

This is a job for Space Force.
