ardillacid Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%2829075%29_1950_DA"]From Here:[/url] [quote](29075) 1950 DA is the near Earth object with the highest known possible probability of impacting Earth, according to the Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale. ...... A preliminary analysis shows two possible pole directions (Giorgini, et al., 2002 "Asteroid 1950 DA's 2880 Encounter with Earth"). One trajectory misses the Earth by tens of millions of kilometers, while the other has an impact probability of 1⁄300. The radar observations are currently being reanalyzed, in combination with the optical lightcurves.[/quote] So much for that, huh cmotherofpirl, the most likely to hit earth will hit in 2880, and it has 1 in 600 chance of it Edited October 18, 2006 by notardillacid
MIKolbe Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 From Armageddon- President: We didn't see this thing coming? Dan: Well, our object collison budget's about a million dollars. That allows us to track about 3% of the sky, and beg'n your pardon sir, but it's a big-ole sky.

ardillacid Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Thank you for posting some evidence or link as a rebuttal......oh wait From NASA's mouth itself: [url="http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/doc/sentry_faq.html#1950da"]NASA's WEBSITE[/url] [quote][b]Why do your first calculations of an orbit often look more threatening than later ones? Because orbits stemming from very limited observation sets are more uncertain it is more likely that such orbits will "permit" future impacts.[/b] However, such early predictions can often be ruled out as we incorporate more observations and reduce the [b]uncertainties[/b] in the object's orbit. Most often, the threat associated with a specific object will decrease as additional observations become available, and so objects will be posted to, and later removed from, our Impact Risk Page. The Palermo Scale values will typically start out at less negative values when the object's orbit is most uncertain and evolve to more negative values (and eventually off the list) as more and more observations allow the object's orbit to be continually improved.[/quote] good ol nasa, so the next time you see on the news that an asteroid is going to hit earth in 15 years keep this in mind :
Norseman82 Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 According to the "Bible Code" program on the History Channel, some comet or asteroid is supposed to end life on Earth in 2011 or 2012. The Mayan (or Incan?) calendar ends in 2011 or 2012. According to St. Malachy, there is only one Pope after Benedict XVI. With the internet, the gospel can be preached just about all over the world at the click of the mouse. There was something about a red heifer being born in Israel a short time ago, which is supposed to have something to do with the reconstruction of the Jewish temple. A lot of the Jewish religion can convert in the next 5 or 6 years; look how fast the Soviet Union fell. And the fact that good Catholic men who obey the rules are having a hard time finding wives to establish families with while the fornicating pagan party-boys are rewarded only makes sense if God is trying to spare us the stress of having to prepare children for the end of the world.
Church Punk Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 [quote name='cmotherofpirl' post='1095136' date='Oct 18 2006, 06:02 PM'] actually they can predict quite well. [/quote] They cant even get the weather straight, so how much I believe scientist. But actually, we are hit by astroids and space rocks everday, its just that they burn up in the the Earths atmosphere.
Era Might Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 Thank you all for the enlightening meteorological discussion.
Era Might Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 I just saw the weirdest sign that someone pasted to a pole: "Are you ready for the Rapture on October 28th, 1992?"

Era Might Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 I did a google search and actually found the flyer on Wikipedia, ROFL. It says "Korean group 'Mission for the Coming Days' predicted October 28, 1992 as the date for the rapture" and "Rapture posters such as this one were spread across New England."
homeschoolmom Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I remember that.... I was student teaching that day.
cmotherofpirl Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 The jews show no signs of converting en masse, so it will be awhile. On the other hand the white buffalo has returned to the Indians.
Groo the Wanderer Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Rapture huh? Seems to me that all those 'left behind' in the Bible were the good folks: Noah and the flood - the good guys were left Sodom and Gomorrah - the good guys were left Babylonian Captivity - the sinful Israelites were taken away Seems to me when the 'rapture' comes, we would WANT to be the ones left behind, no?

catholicinsd Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Could we close this thread? It's scaring me.
let_go_let_God Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 What is the white buffalo and what does it have to do with the end of the world? God bless- LGLG
