User ID: 77082640 United States 09/20/2020 12:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56034153 [link to twitter.com (secure)] Quoting: Astromut 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. 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? |

The magnetosphere has nothing to do with NEAs. 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. |

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." |

User ID: 77153496 Czechia 09/20/2020 01:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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 :) What someone says about others.. says more about themselves.. |
