When N.B.C.Nightly news mentions that you should stock up on canned goods maybe you should listen.....
Better to have it and not need it; then to need it and not have it...
Ya know, It's been a busy week for me so I really didn't pay much attention,
but I kind of remember seeing something about meteors hitting earth.
Was that for real or was I dreaming again?
Apparently fire balls over the U.S. and one smacked the moon...I will look for time and dates....
Update ; just click the before its news link above it talks about the moon strike and earth fireballs and strikes....
Better to have it and not need it; then to need it and not have it...
at about 2 am in saskatchewan may 24th 2013; I had a few co-workers tell me they witnessed a 20-30 sec meteor spotting that broke into three pieces. Once I got home I looked it up and it as also spotted in prince albert, sk, yorkton, sk, hudson bay, sk, and numberious other towns in sk and mb including winnipeg. It was a small one, but amazing it even had a spotting report in winnipeg, mb. if you draw a line through all those towns, most of the sk reports suggest a west to east path and the mb side reporting a more north east falling path. It may have had more then enough mass to make it to ground; going to be following it for awhile and see if any info comes out. no pics or video as of yet, but maybe someone might have some. cross our fingers. perhaps more detail on this one can be found at this site I visit from time to time.
Never underestimate the power of free! If someone has deemed something valueless, yet U see value in it; Then you've already made a profit and savings!
it is really nice post i like this info i appreciate this post keep it up......... 😆
I hope they crunched their numbers right
WEEKEND ASTEROID FLYBY: This Sunday, a house-sized asteroid named "2014 RC" will fly through the Earth-Moon system almost inside the orbit of geosynchronous satellites. At closest approach, Sept. 7th at 18:18 UTC, the 20-meter-wide space rock will pass just 40,000 km over New Zealand.
There is no danger of a collision with Earth.
Asteroid 2014 RC was discovered on the night of August 31 by the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona, and independently detected the next night by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope, located on the summit of Haleakalā on Maui, Hawaii. Follow-up observations quickly confirmed the orbit of 2014 RC: it comes from just beyond the orbit of Mars.
The close appproach of this space rock offers researchers an opportunity for point-blank studies of a near-Earth asteroid. Even amateur astronomers will be able to track it. Around the time of closest approach, it will brighten to magnitude +11.5 as it zips through the constellation Pisces. This means it will be invisible to the naked eye but a relatively easy target for backyard telescopes equipped with CCD cameras. [ephemeris] [3D orbit]
According to NASA, "[the orbit of 2014 RC] will bring it back to our planet's neighborhood in the future. The asteroid's future motion will be closely monitored, but no future threatening Earth encounters have been identified."
