Asteroid 2007 TU24 has NASA concerned., page 80

You asked for it.. Thought I would make one for everyone's end of the world party.. The countdown is on.... Drink for me I will be asleep for this.. gotta work dangit...

Countdown Clock

It is expected to be closest at 3:33am..

well according to spaceweather.com and noaa, nothing of any significance is going on with the sun or the geomagnetic fields.

www.spaceweather.com...

www.swpc.noaa.gov...

www.n3kl.org...

everything is normal, quiet and showing low percentages.

Okay. So I actually took a look at tu24.org... and it does, in fact put it at Level 1 or the Severe Risk category. But then if you look at the same little chart it says "Probability of Impact: 0.0%" Is that redundant or is it due to its proximity that it may mess with the weather and/or seismic activity?

Sorry to rehash previous questions. Just trying to learn a little more.

Sips wine....offers up toast to the countdown clock and your efforts....sips wine again for good measure! Party through it!

Countdown to the State of the Union...which could possibly be worse....10 minutes.

Peace.

I just checked your clock and it forwards to another site after the red background comes up. Not criticizing. Just thought you'd like to know.

Read the fine print on bottom of Severe Risk:

"Extremely high risk of electromagnetic disturbance.
Natural disasters, firestorms, other unknown effects"

Its not the impact its the effect it will have on the Earth.

I've been following this since my last post realizing that if anything there might be some slight disturbance rather than an earth-smashing event.

However, although numbers are within norms on all sites take a look at a pattern I've seen on www2.nict.go.jp...

Check around .25-.5 on the graphs, or 0:15:00 - 0:30:00 UT.

First off the magnetic field flipped to south. At this same time plasma density increased and temperature DECREASED. Strange. Also the AE index changed (I admit I have no idea what that is).

Don't know if it means anything, but I figured I'd share nonetheless.

EDIT: My fraction matheration ain't what it used to be.

Thanks not good... It should not forward to another site... If anyone else has that problem I will take it down...

The only reason I think they moved up the risk level is because its getting closer and closer to the earth, It wont hit but it still will stay at level 1 until its passes by Earth.

I did not even really look at that as well as I thought. Thanks for the clarification!

Wow...that is just creepy...this is what is says about the "simulation"

About Real-Time Magnetosphere Simulation

The real-time magnetosphere simulation is carried out using the MHD code developed by Prof. Tanaka. Input parameters are taken from the real-time solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data observed routinely by the ACE satellite. Simulation results are visualized in real time. Note all of the plots here are based on the preliminary data (ACE Real Time Data), which have not been processed yet.

Peace.

Yeah, well, there's this little thing called the 'Sun' that the Earth has been going around for, oh I don't know, the best part of the past 4 billion years.

I think it can handle something like the 'plasma discharge' from one little asteroid passing by.

Use of the word 'discharge' though conjures up some really gross images in my mind
