COVID-19 scapegoat for le end, Telescopes shutting down.

Did world leaders create the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to distract the world population and force everyone to spend time with their families during Earth's final days and close down telescopes around the world ?

__________________________________

An Astronomy magazine tally has found that more than 100 of Earth’s biggest research telescopes have closed in recent weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What started as a trickle of closures in February and early March has become an almost complete shutdown of observational astronomy. And the closures are unlikely to end soon.

Observatory directors say they could be offline for three to six months — or longer. In many cases, resuming operations will mean inventing new ways of working during a pandemic. And that might not be possible for some instruments that require teams of technicians to maintain and operate. As a result, new astronomical discoveries are expected to come to a crawl.

The first week of November 2019, NASA and the Vatican Observatory both discovered and confirmed a fast approaching comet that is so extremely large that a collision with earth on its current path is inevitable. On November 9th 2019, the United Nations held a secret meeting with world leaders to develop an “exist strategy” to make everyone as comfortable as possible for what scientists have carefully calculated and confirmed as the apocalypse in the months to follow.

While we are waiting for the storm we might this trailer, hope we get the movie and not the real thing.

Just about time for some more doom porn.

And ... it combines NASA with The Vatican! Cool as.

So, the end date is when?

Let me guess ... no one will know the date ... because all the Telescopes are down!

Well something is certainly amiss

An extremely innocuous version of a corona virus is doing the rounds. Big deal.
I’m the sure the bubonic plague victims would be shaking in their boots.
Shutting down societies, internationally, for what? In order to do what?
To disrupt economies? Or is that just collateral?
To distract attention? To implement systems of control? To test future systems of control?
To shift money and stocks? To hide the wicked and the corrupt?

To shield us from the knowledge of an impending apocalypse? Probably not but who knows?

The one thing we can be absolutely sure of is that this response to such a non-threat, is not an effort to curb the spread of a virus.

What's an "exist strategy"? First I thought exit strategy but given the context I'm not sure.

To make everybody as comfortable as possible? Really? Social distancing? Loosing your job? Being forced to wear face masks?

I'm not sure about your definition of 'comfortable' - but mine seems to differ

They will only notify the public of a forthcoming ELE @ -23 hours 59 minutes
With that said , are astronomers different than any other person amidst this COVID 19 ?

I seriously doubt we'd even get that much notice.

And perhaps some fact checking would not harm either.

haha
yearh I am sure snopes.com will be the first to know if the end is coming.

Nope, but one of the first to spot fake news

Well, the former CIA agent used that term and OP simply copied it. I can imagine that the guy was retired, not even being able to spell 'exit' properly

Or he meant what he said "exist strategy" as in a strategy to keep humanity existing.. exit strategy could sound like the end, exist strategy sounds more like a new beginning ?

To them everything is.. it is what they get payed for.

Actually, the real problem is that they opened a dimensional doorway back in the '50's and it was small then, but we left it behind as the Earth orbited.

Now, it's way bigger and we're headed back into it again.

Last time, it sucked out a small chunk of atmosphere. Next time, it will probably take the lot.





















































































































Or not.

I doubt a giant comet is going to splatter us in a few months.

But snopes is a joke, and no more reliable than facebook or twitter "fact" checkers.

Why would it be necessary to shut down so many telescopes? All research telescope observations are scheduled years in advance. All are automated in the actual observations both where they look and how they look at an area. The people are there to do only what the automation cannot. Each telescope individually sees only an extremely tiny part of the sky and no one would notice what they are not pointing the instruments at.

The area they see is like one of us using a magnifying glass to try to get a splinter from our finger. We would not notice the gorilla visiting a neighbor’s house on the next block while getting out the splinter.

If it happened that a telescope was to be pointed to where it would see the comet, I am certain that a software failure would occur that night for an easily explainable reason.

The large views you see are composites of years of observations and not made up in a short time. No one except the amateur astronomers just look at what is interesting in the sky through a telescope.There is too much sky and too few telescopes for the research to be stopped to just look over there to see what that spot looks like unless there is a report of something actually being there.

It is a requirement signed off by most nations.
Whether or not we will ????

Finally some good news.

I would think there are enough amateur astronomers that this would be a well known event by now if it were going to happen.

a reply to: Spacespider

Though, if there is something to this, I would say the Sunspot Observatory would be the origin of whatever find may have happened.

Remember the odd shutdown?
