SE58 Asteroid - Coming Within 0.0022 AU of Earth 9/27

While it is only estimated at 13 meters across, I'm surprised there hasn't been any mention of this, considering how close it's coming, and also considering all the doomsday talk that's been said to line up with the 27th of September. Although it is small, it is at least somewhat interesting.

I am more concerned about the NEO's that are not listed in the database by NASA.

Even if the orbit diagram is remotely accurate, which it probably isn't considering:

The applet was implemented using 2-body methods, and hence should not be used for determining accurate long-term trajectories (over several years or decades) or planetary encounter circumstances.

then this 42 foot object will still miss us by 329,115 km. Enough space for 25 Earths in between. We're probably safe.

13 meters is pretty small as rocks falling from the sky goes. If anything it will be a very cool light show for all to see. That's assuming it gets pulled in by the earths gravitational force.

Chill out, there be bigger ones to worry about out there for sure

Oh I wasn't worrying in the least, just thought it was interesting because it's close, relatively speaking, of course. When I first saw the trajectory map, however, I was a little concerned, but then I realized how small it was and let out a sigh of relief.

So you're more concerned about something that may not even exist instead of what does?

Sounds just like god...

Oh...there it goes.

There ya go kids... have fun with the fear mongering!! >8P

Please stop trying to scare the population unnecessarily. I'd greatly appreciate it, as would they as well.
We have enough to be concerned about that's real right now, if you got info about a definite large impact, we'd love to see the proof!

13 meters across, and you felt that should raise red flags? UARS makes that look like soft snow flakes.

reply to post by Resonant

Guess this one doesn't have a fancy name and is really small. Elenin, if it would have been on collision course and hit earth would have been a serious catastrophy, especially since it's relative speed is very high. If a rock of "only" 13 meters hits earth, unless its solid iron, would only under very unfortunate circumstances (like pieces of it hitting a nuclear powerplant or the wall of a dam) do much damage.

The OP said that this was , and I quote, "somewhat interesting". Since when does that constitute fear mongering?

Scaring the population? I was just pointing out this object because of how near it's coming, not that it's going to slam into the Earth and bring the world to an end. As I stated, it's about 13m in diameter, about the size of a bus, not really that much of a threat. If it does come close enough, we'll get to see a nice streak running through the sky, that's about it.

Also, I'm well aware of the other "near earth objects" on the radar, and this is projected to be the closest, at least in regards to the near future.

Agreed, 13m object of typical mass shouldn't cause an ELE but doesn't it depend on where it impacts? What's the projected explosive tonnage of such an impact? If it just happened to land on a major city or industrial area anywhere in the world we would all feel the societal repercussions for years. Not highly likely yet a possibility.

Yet another "wannabe forum moderator"

Seems like you are not allowed to post anything on this site recently unless it results in a massive worldwide event that will kill all mankind or some BS "my dream wasn't a dream and we're all going to die!!"

At no point does the OP claim that this will even hit earth let alone cause an "ELE"

this forum is overpopulated... where is the NWO when you need a population cull? ...

Should have stopped there.

There are many independent observatories looking for NEO's, how do you think Elenin was found? Not by NASA.

I found the OP quite interesting really, didn't scare me whatsoever. Thank you so much though for thinking about us in these troubled times. You the man........

Is completely false.
