    We made it through December .. and we’re fine

    A huge fireball exploded in the Earth’s atmosphere in December, according to Nasa. The blast was the second largest of its kind in 30 years, and the biggest since the fireball over Chelyabinsk in Russia six years ago. But it went largely unnoticed until now because it blew up over the Bering Sea, off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.

    Military satellites picked up the blast.. NASA and the AIR FORCE were notified..

    At about noon local time on 18 December, the asteroid barrelled through the atmosphere at a speed of 32km/s, on a steep trajectory of seven degrees.

    Measuring several metres in size, the space rock exploded 25.6km above the Earth’s surface, with an impact energy of 173 kilotons.

  • Trick or treat: The return of Asteroid 2015 TB145

    Trick or treat: The return of Asteroid 2015 TB145

    Asteroid 2015 TB145 resembles a human skull in the correct light. It swept by Earth in 2015. This Halloween it returns yet again..

    This dark object measures between 625 and 700 meters, its rotation period is around three hours and, in certain lighting conditions, it resembles a human skull. In 2015, Ttghe object was discovered a few days earlier on October 10 from Hawaii using the Pan-STARRS telescope, however, the fact that it came closest to our planet on Halloween also helped it become known as the Halloween asteroid.

    And beyond?

    Thomas Müller, a researcher from the Max-Planck Institute, said: “The next slightly more exciting encounter will be around Halloween’s day in the year 2088, when the object approaches Earth to a distance of about 20 lunar distances.

  • Enormous Asteroid Is Passing Close by Earth in Two Weeks Time

    Enormous Asteroid Is Passing Close by Earth in Two Weeks Time

    Enormous Asteroid Is Passing Close by Earth in Two Weeks Time:

    On 1 September, a mammoth 4.4 kilometer (2.7 mile) chunk of rock will pass within an astronomical whisker of our planet – the largest near-Earth object to come this close since NASA set up its Near Earth Observations program in 1998. 

    But .. it’s far far away. 

    18 times the distance between Earth and the Moon this asteroid poses no threat..

  • April fools! A comet will NOT hit earth

    April fools! A comet will NOT hit earth

    ….first of all, let me say this: April fools day is the most wretched day of the year. In the old days (pre 2016) ‘fake news’ was abundant on April fools day. Now fake news is just out there every day.

    Anyway, be sure of this: Tomorrow you will hear someone famous died, a war started somewhere, and aliens landed. All of it will be very unfunny lame jokes on you. April Fool’s day. Awful.. just awful.

    But what IS true is this: A comet will not hit earth..

    A comet named 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák is set to make its closest flyby to Earth since it was originally discovered in 1858.

    A few days before Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák reaches perihelion, the comet will be very near its closest point to Earth for a 6-day period between March 29 and April 3, according to Space.com.

    The absolute closest it will come to the Earth will be smack in the middle of that date range — on April Fools’ Day — when it will zoom by approximately 13.2 million miles away. Pending atmospheric conditions, viewers in the Northern Hemisphere should be able to see it on Saturday night around 9 PM EST near the handle of the Big Dipper — however, since the comet is less than a mile in diameter, you’ll need either high-quality binoculars or a telescope to check it out.

    There may be an article or two tomorrow that the comet will strike. But it won’t.

    HOWEVER.. that said.. so often we are hit with stories of night skies lighting up from asteroids or comets that have gone undetected.. from meteors and space rocks flying through the atmosphere. So it’s not comforting, at least to me, to think that a comet is making a close flyby.

    Space is vast and large.. we’re a pale blue dot.
    ….folks, it’s just a matter of time.
    April fools or not. One day it won’t be a joke regulated to the final story on late local news after sports and weather..

    Who is afraid of a potentially life ending asteroid on Halloween!?
    Not us earthlings!

    Costumes will still be donned.. makeup still applied. Scantily clad outfits at Saturday night Halloween parties still being stuck on..

    Even though this was just discovered: An enormous asteroid will whiz past earth..

    CREDIT: The IFL SCIENCE website:

    2009 FD will approach within 6,194,000 km of Earth, about 16.3 times further away than the Moon. The asteroid was discovered in February 2009, a month before its closest recorded approach to Earth on March 27, 2009, at a distance of 624,100 km. 2015 TB145 will pass about 500,000 km from Earth, just beyond the lunar orbit.

    2009 FD has been tracked by several instruments since its discovery. It was first estimated to be 130 meters in size by NASA’s Near Earth Program. A better estimate for its size came from NASA’s NEOWISE, which gave a value of 470 meters, although this is considered anupper limit.

    2015 TB145 was discovered just over a week ago by the Pan-STARRS I telescope in Hawaii, and it has an estimated size of 320 meters. The passing of 2015 TB145 will be the closest approach by something this large until asteroid August 2027, when 1999 AN10 will pass within one lunar distance (380,000 km). NASA has given these objects a value of 1 on the Torino Scale, which is the value assigned to non-dangerous asteroids.

    Business as usual.

  • The asteroid that won’t

    The asteroid that won’t

    Just when you wanted to relax on a Friday night.. this news is revealed: 2km-wide asteroid approaching Earth, NASA warns »

     

    An asteroid big enough to kill millions of people is on its way to Earth but is expected to brush past, missing by a mere 25 million kilometers – a narrow distance by space standards, NASA said.

    If all goes well death and destruction will stay safely away from earth..
    But boy is that close..

    A shave that close is even more startling when you realize how recent we found out about this..

    I heard an expert say a few weeks ago on Art Bell’s show that giant asteroids would most likely be known if they were close to earth.

    I guess not all of them, eh?

  • The Iran story you’re not hearing about

    The Iran story you’re not hearing about

    Clyde Lewis typically focuses his radio show on the strange and unusual, with a twist. He’ll ignore the tempest in the teapot of daily news, while the rest of his competitors struggle with political implications. And that is often times what makes his show so special–it’s a tribute to creativity and entertainment, with food for thought and good information mixed in to please the mind during the late night hours..

    Last night, though, his show got under my skin–deeper than others that featured tales of ghosts and goblins. This show, last night, focused on the very thing which can kill human nature, the world.. everything: The big asteroid. The lurking monster which is poised to strike. Maybe this year..next year..next century. But it is out there. And if the universe indeed lives forever, it will happen to the planet earth just as it may have 65 million years ago. We think..

    Clyde Lewis’ August 3 show was important for a few reasons.  First off, there has been this undying suspicion amongst the conspriacy fishwrappers of the Net world that NASA ‘knows something.’ And that the something is a life altering asteroid strike this September.. Secondly, it gave natural attention to the source of these predictions: A self proclaimed prophet named Efrain Rodriguez. This man’s ideas of a rapture beginning this autumn has been so strong, and caught on so much, even NASA itself was forced to respond, stating that it is not aware of anything on the horizon that will turn Earth into a former human life living pile of rubbish.

    A few notable events worldwide have caused a rise in high strangeness, as noted on GROUND ZERO last night. News tidbits such as these:

    A ‘heat dome’ in Iran so strong, that temperatures rose to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. One meteorologist said it was the most incredible observations ever seen.

    It does not end there. The continuing Iran story unfolded after the heat dome became yesterday’s news was even weirder: A series of serious meteor impacts in various places in Iran, along with observable seismic activity to coincide.  Somewhat like Russia in the winter of 2013 over the Ural Mountains..

    The news blackout on the Iranian meteor issue is startling, however..
    Media sources have been busy reporting on every angle and aspect of the Obama Administration nuclear deal with the nation George W. Bush declared a card carrying member of the Axis of Evil, but the same sources aren’t too busy worrying about an actual event of true seismic proportions. The strange blackout has even inspired counter-conspiracy claims that the meteorite story is false to begin with, that something else is afoot and the activity in the nation isn’t what it seems..

    A few days ago Tehran confirmed the meteor strike. But the reports of that confirmation have not been shared on worldwide publications that gain the most respect as news networks.. The ‘other guys’ have been busy saying it, along with on the scene reporting from Twitter users in the areas affected by the purported meteor. 

    Oh, and not to be outdone by Christians pastors predicting the end times in September, but this newest meteor hit in Iran has given rise to cultural rumors in the nation that their Messiah is coming.

    I have written prior that this September asteroid rumor has been around for some time.. And that the source of the prophecy may be questionable.  I find myself standing by that assertion. Maybe because I sort of believe it..maybe because part of me is a little freaked that it could also be true..

    Are you rapture ready?
    Did you clean up?
    Jesus may come today.
    As may an asteroid.
    Wake me up when September ends.

  • PHILAE HAS WOKEN UP AND CONTACTED EARTH!

    PHILAE HAS WOKEN UP AND CONTACTED EARTH!

    BBC HAS MORE:

    It worked for 60 hours before going to sleep when its solar-powered battery ran flat.

    The comet has since moved nearer to the sun and Philae has enough power to work again, says the BBC’s science correspondent Jonathan Amos.

    The Rosetta probe took 10 years to reach the comet, and the lander – about the size of a washing-machine – bounced at least a kilometre when it touched down.

    Its exact location on the comet has since been a mystery.

    A fine moment..
    Looking forward to the discoveries made. If we are told the full story, of course.
