DOOM! Comet 2023 BU Inbound For Direct Hit!

Its an asteroid and is less than 10m wide. It will blow up in the atmosphere.

Drama off.

Wikipedia for what it is worth...

"There is no risk of an Earth impact during the 2023 Earth approach. Assuming the asteroid is 9 meters in diameter, an impact by it would not reach the ground intact and would breakup around 30 km above the ground.[6] Such impacts occur roughly every 7 years."

This might be the false flag we've been waiting for.

It's a comet, probably carrying some deadly virus. Doom is on!

Hmmmm ... short term Doom, I like it

You are a bit off on your facts.

1. It is an asteroid NOT a comet. Fail #1

2. While the asteroid is going to make a very close pass, the projection is that it will still be 3500 km away from the earth's surface. Fail #2

3. Quoting it in AU is a drama queen trick. An AU is approximately 150,000,000 km, so rounding to one decimal point leaves any value of less than 750,000 km coming out to 0.0 AU. Fail #3

4. It is estimated to be 3 to 8 meters across. Even if this actually hits the earth, it would not be doom. Failure #4

Juan Star and see you on January 27 as you enter the Hall of Failure.

A house-sized meteorite can explode in Earth's atmosphere with a force greater than the nuclear weapon the US dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

Such a space rock could flatten most buildings within 1.5 miles of ground zero.

That is not just a comet.


It's Putin on top of it.




But, it will miss us by 42,000 miles anyway, so...I think we're good.

Direct hit? Says who? This guy on youboob?

It's an asteroid.

The near-Earth asteroid 2023 BU was discovered by G. Borisov on 21 Jan. 2023 and announced the following day. Its diameter in estimated in 3.7 – 8.2 meters the range, while the minimum distance from us will be reached on 26 Jan. 2023 at 21:17 UTC, when this rock will be at 9800 km from the center of the Earth (source: Nasa/JPL). That is 25% of the distance of geostationary satellites, less than 3% of the average lunar distance. Respect to the Earth’s surface, this asteroid will fly just 3500 km above it.

The Virtual Telescope Project will show it live, online, just around the fly-by time. This way, you can have a look from the comfort of your home.

it is 15 ft diameter (approx). it is up on spaceweather.com. it does say 0.0 LD, but DOOM?

Total bullshit. Will never happen. Ill come back here on 1/27 and lambaste you when you are proven wrong.

We get hit by stuff that size almost every week, and they burn peacefully up in the atmosphere. And this one isn't even going to actually hit.


I appreciate the twatter-comment, but this is a BS-thread. The thing is smaller than my suitcase.

Any estimates on the fly-by location?

I'm in southern Alabama and would like to view it as it passes or burns up in the atmosphere it possible from my location.

Thanks for any info.

Too small to be a concern. Doom off.

Liar.

Underlined is lunar distance from Earth. It's going to be almost 9 times the distance of the moon to earth, at the VERY least 7.4 lunar distance.

You're listening to crackpots.

Thank you for NOT posting a Twitter link as if it were news.
Thank you for providing a brief summary of the video.
You are a good GLPer.

2023 BU (asteroid)
2023-Jan-27 (date UT)
0 LD (miss distance)
9.3 (velocity, km/s)
5 (size in meters)

maybe it's just a "tracer" round.
they're just "sighting-in" for the death star blast:(

So, doom off? That is record time to go from Doom ON to Doom OFF.

"On Jan 26th at 21:17 UTC (16:17 EST), the 5-meter-wide space rock will be just 3500 km above South America, well within our planet's belt of geosynchronous satellites."

"There's no danger of a collision"

There is no atmosphere to speak of at 3500 km altitude.
So I doubt it would be visible. And it is at 4 pm flying over South America.

Maybe it could hit a satellite or something?

If there was danger of a collision, would they even tell us???

From JPL, discovered on Jan 21, 2023, ......

IMHO, if it is that close, it is destined to enter the atmosphere and break up spectacularly (as the one in Russia a few years ago did).

Unless, (vintage GLP here, it's not an astroid....)
