Stadium-sized asteroid 2019 OR1 to approach Earth at 48,168 km/h, NASA issues urgent warning

Story by dnawebdesk@gmail.com (DNA Web Desk) • Sunday
 
It seems as if asteroids have resumed their dangerously near visits to Earth. NASA monitors these asteroids by analysing data gathered from observatories and telescopes including Pan- STARRS, the Catalina Sky Survey, and the NEOWISE telescope. Some of this apparatus is located in the air, while the rest is rooted to the ground.

 Warnings have been issued for the asteroid 2019 OR1 by NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office. On November 21, at a distance of 4.3 million kilometres from Earth, the 770-foot asteroid is predicted to make a near pass. The asteroid is already on its way towards Earth, flying at an astonishing speed of 48,168 km/h. Although this asteroid is not projected to strike Earth, a tiny variation in its route owing to contact with the planet's gravitational field might shift its trajectory with devastating results.

A Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) has been set up and is being overseen by the Planetary Science Division at NASA's main office in Washington. The PDCO is responsible for the timely discovery of potentially hazardous objects (PHOS), such as asteroids and comets whose orbits are expected to bring them within 0.05 astro
 
NASA just completed the DART mission to counteract such threats from orbit. The goal of NASA's Dart mission was to see whether it was possible to alter the course of an asteroid. With the results of this test, the world took its first step toward developing the technology necessary to stop any massive rock from crashing to Earth.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It's not about panicking, it's about making plans for the long-term, and the problem with rocks like this is that, over time, they can become more and more "aimed" at the Earth, as each pass by the Earth can cause the Earth's gravity to realign the orbit more closely with where the Earth will be in the future.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A warning? How are we to respond? Better make sure we have plenty of milk, bread and toilet paper, I guess.

I wanna know what stadium they are comparing it to?    A nice one like the Vikings play in or a shitbox like Soldiers Field in Lightfoot town.

Sorry but I seem to recall we had death by asteroid last month, I really wish these guys could keep track of their hysteria events.

Hey the global warming scam artist think the world is getting too hot.

Maybe a "stadium" sized asteroid would make them happy.
