Is Asteroid 2018 VP1 Actually 6 Miles Wide? | |

Senior Forum Moderator  09/22/2020 11:38 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My previous calculations of asteroid 2018 VP1 agree with NASA's assessment that there is a non-zero but still very small (less than a 1%) chance that this asteroid will hit earth this November. See my previous thread for details: Thread: This Asteroid Could Hit Earth on November 2nd! This news report claims 2018 VP1 is actually 6 miles wide, instead of about 6 feet wide as indicated by the measurements made back in 2018: Let's see if it's true that it's actually 6 miles wide, and let's see if it's on course for an impact with earth!  |

(OP) Senior Forum Moderator 09/22/2020 11:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tomorrow night I'll also be tracking the close approach of 2020 SW, if the weather allows. It's another small asteroid, and it will be passing just about 28,000 km from the center of the earth. That's closer than our geostationary satellites. Check back tomorrow for that! |

Sit back and get wasted? Rape and murder? Post on GLP? Post to GLP, of course. While getting wasted. Not so much into the raping and murdering part, but I'd have my AR-15 strapped to me in case someone else tries either of those. |

User ID: 79369369 United States09/22/2020 11:52 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you Astromut. Awesome as always. :-) I believe in science NOT religion. Giving me bad karma for that, is anti-religious (you're passing judgement) I am just a man. Of no significance. Who found religion to be full of lies, and wrong doing, conflicted teachings I understand microwave communications. I do not stand for the NWO, it sucks. |

User ID: 79407312 United States09/23/2020 12:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 2018 VP1 will be interesting to track as we get into late October. Thanks for the informative post! Everything I've ever posted on GLP, or on the internet in general, is to be taken as role-playing for entertainment purposes. I've never divulged my true beliefs. |

I know it's silly, but apparently a group claiming to be CBS said it was 6 miles wide. Shrug. Better to get out in front of it than to let it fester. |

User ID: 78940028 United States09/23/2020 12:10 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So Astro, does the size of the asteroid affect it's trajectory? In other words if there were two asteroids, one 6' wide, the other 6 miles wide, is the 6 mile one more likely to strike earth cause it's mass is being pulled more? FCK the WEF! Keep your hands off my country! |
