And yet literally... there is no news about it.

I'm just putting out facts because of whether was intended or not, misleading or fearmongering people should be straightened out with facts.

All the smartest astronomers including many amateurs around the world haven't come forward with grave concerns so who are you going to believe, astronomers or YTbers?



Respectfully I thought you weren't gonna waste your time anymore...

regardless if 2023 DZ2 comes blazing into the atmosphere or not. I can pretty much guarantee the consensus opinion here on ATS is if there were an inbound asteroid TPTB just discovered weeks before it was gonna hit, there would be no announcement of the impending impact. Instead, they would point out how close it is gonna be but it's just gonna miss us by about 1/2 LD.


The Moon is an average of 238,855 miles from earth, its coming within half that distance is newsworthy by itself. The fact that it is going to be close enough and slow enough to view on private telescopes is newsworthy too.


Read my post again.
Making a list of something you have no control over is a waste of time.

As far as the 2023 DZ2 is concerned, well it's been observed and reported world wide so there's nothing to worry about.

Say an amateur astronomer discovers an asteroid on a collision course with earth but decides to keep it silent, what can you do about it?

I'm grateful for many professional and amateur astronomers all around the wprld actively watching the sky.

Nothing's gonna happen on march 25 or 26 or 27th.

It's amazing how if you put "smartest doctors" in place of "smartest astronomers" it has a Fauci expertise, speed of science ring to it. After listening and watching the experts lie and be wrong over the last 3 years I think it's OK to entertain some novice theories from youtubers, bichute or ATS posters. After all many were right over the last three years regarding covid-19 and the covid vaccine and the experts were wrong...or lying.
It's not fear mongering and I'll add we can all learn something from these threads, I usually check these near miss asteroid or coronal mass ejections threads out after learning how our understanding of space, the galaxy and the universe is always being augmented or even questioned. Welcome to ATS.
Thanks for the heads up Silicone Synapse.

Ok not all videos on YT are far fetched.
There are videos from credible sources and others are fear mongering for profit YTbers. Sensational exaggerated contents are usually begging for attention of viewers in which they end up being mostly if not all just a wild speculation or how kids or newbies interpretate of scientific data.

Not to go off rail, but YT has saved me some serious money, and I have learned a lot from many of the videos.

I fixed my washing machine three times and got 10 more years out of it. It was over 30 years old, and I had to stop because the parts got be more expensive than buying a new machine. I fixed my 20 yr old fridge by just replacing the motor and it has been going strong for 8 more years, knock on wood. I fixed my riding lawn mower once, and my push mowers twice. I just recently fixed my home water system. And I am an old broad. And very frugal, which I am sure I did not have to add.

So yes, you are right, there are a lot of good YT videos. You are also right that there is a lot of garbage on YT.

Kind of like going to a clearance sale. You have to go through a lot of garbage to find the item worth buying.

Read your post again. ah, gee do I have to?

Respectfully you are saying the same thing over and over with just different words, and completely missing the point.

I thought we already discussed your time wasting, on the other hand, I got plenty of time and enjoy the topic. Apologies for the long response if you feel the need to eschew reading the whole post, just skip to the red parts for another indicator of why this deserves the current discussion

My point is nobody is freaking out over this, it's just entertaining. LOL is just a discussion, nobody needs to be calmed down or soothed because they are worried about this. But if nothing else it shows you would be a damn good parent, kindergarten teacher, or grandmother

You are asserting ATS members are losing their proverbial sheet when this is just a normal ATS thread and discussion. As has been mentioned without the doom porn aspect ATS would have half its footprint it does now. I suspect it's an extremely small footprint, to begin with.

Besides, I can find dozens of threads where posters are really freaking out, or much more so than this one. The poster's introduction was actually well done because it showed multiple viewpoints, the hyper youtube presentation, and the link to the more grounded scientific article showing the width of opinions on the subject. Therefore opening it to a discussion about the asteroid. It's done so well that you could use this as a guideline when you make your first thread

Here's the second sentence in the post "the rock is not expected to hit us thank goodness-at least if the astronomers have their calculations correct-"

The closest they came to being concerned was mentioning it might be interesting watching the elite and see if they're heading to New Zealand.

Respectfully perhaps the only one overreacting here is....well you, and if you aren't overreacting, You are gonna need to get used to typing "that ain't gonna happen" on 90% of threads here. You might consider putting it in your sig and starting a new thread here, I'm looking forward to reading it.



As I said it's an interesting topic and is being discussed elsewhere as well as ATS, it just wasn't served to you as you would have liked. Here is a youtube video that may be more your speed.We can watch it pass in high definition together



www.newsweek.com...



The asteroid is currently visible in the constellation of Cancer, but on Saturday it will pass through Leo, Virgo and Libra.

If you do not have access to a telescope or binoculars, you can still watch 2023 DZ2's close approach to our planet. The VTP will be providing a live stream that will enable viewers to observe the asteroid as it zooms past the Earth.

The VTP is a service provided by the Bellatrix Astronomical Observatory in Ceccano, Italy, that operates and provides access to robotic, remotely operated telescopes.

Even though 2023 DZ2 was discovered just last month, astronomers have calculated its orbit accurately, and there is no chance of a collision during its upcoming flyby.
Even though 2023 DZ2 was discovered just last month, astronomers have calculated its orbit accurately, and there is no chance of a collision during its upcoming flyby.

Astronomers have calculated though that there is a 1 in 71,000 chance that the object—which takes around three years to orbit the sun—could collide with Earth on March 27, 2026. But this is extremely unlikely, and the most probable scenario is that it will fly safely past our planet again.

The original thread



A pretty big chunk of space rock is due to pass by Earth,at a literal space whisker away next week.
Coming closer than the moon,the rock is not expected to hit us thank goodness-at least if the astromoners have their calculations correct-


Yet another newly discovered space rock will safely zip past Earth, this one on March 25, 2023. It’ll sweep by at about half the Earth-moon distance.
Astronomers at the observatory of La Palma, in the Canary Islands, Spain, discovered the asteroid in late February, 2023. And amateur astronomers might get a glimpse of the asteroid as it speeds past.

earthsky.org...

This guy on Youtube seems to think that JPL have kept quiet about the discovery since it was found in February-and is on the fence about if it will hit us or not-
He calls it a potential "country killer."
I wonder what the elite think about this?
Could be interesting to monitor private jet flights to New Zealand over the next few days-many of the mega rich have their doomsday bunkers there.

Lets hope we only get to see it on video footage as it passes us by,and not in the the form of a giant crater.


Last week of March is shaping up to be potentially mental,what with the alleged magnetic pole flip which has long been predicted by some for the same timeframe..
higherfreequency.com...

Oh well,hopefully 2 more doom dates we can cross off the list.

If you happened to be looking in the right place, you might see a little poof! I'm pretty sure it has happened a few thousand time before.

I was hoping for something more dramatic. Then I looked up Tycho and realised this is pretty small really.

Now THAT would have been awesome to see!

Question: If the tides rise and fall from moon gravity pull, would this have any effect on the tides as it passes by?a reply to: schuyler

No. It's way too small.
