Two asteroids to pass close to Earth on Wednesday

Two asteroids to pass close to Earth on Wednesday

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/07...nesday/?hpt=C2

Two small asteroids in unrelated orbits will pass within the moon's distance of the Earth on Wednesday, according to NASA.

It's an unusual event that shows the need for closer monitoring of near space for Earth-threatening encounters, a scientist with the program said.

The objects don't pose a threat to Earth, and they will not be visible to the naked eye, said Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA�s Near Earth Program, which tracks potentially hazardous asteroids and comets within 28 million miles of Earth.

The objects will visible from Earth as tiny specks of light with the help of moderate-sized amateur telescopes, he said.

Near-Earth asteroid 2010 RX30, which is estimated to be 32 to 65 feet in size, will pass within 154,000 miles of Earth at 5:51 a.m. ET Wednesday. The second object, 2010 RF12, estimated to be 20 to 46 feet in size, will pass within 49,088 miles of Earth at 5:12 pm ET.

In case you were wondering, that means the two asteroids will pass within 0.6 and 0.2 lunar distances from the Earth, respectively. The first will be closest to Earth over the north Pacific, and the second, over Antarctica.

Roughly 50 million objects pass through near-Earth space each day, Yeomans said. But what makes this situation noteworthy is that these two asteroids are passing so close to Earth on the same day and that NASA spotted them so far in advance.

"Things like this happen every day that we simply don�t know about because we don�t have the telescopes large enough to find them or surveys that are looking full-time," he said. "This demonstrates the system's working on some level, but we need larger telescopes and more of them to find objects that are coming this close."

The Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona, discovered both objects Sunday morning during a routine monitoring of the skies, NASA said.

The Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, first received the observations Sunday morning, determined preliminary orbits and concluded both objects would pass within the distance of the moon about three days later.

Yeomans described the discovery as a warning shot in a field of study of low-probability events that have global, high-impact consequences. He said that it was only when scientists began looking for near-Earth objects in the 1990s that they realized there was a "problem."

"We have only recently appreciated how many of these objects are in near Earth's space and [it's] best that we keep track of them and find them," he said. "I think this is Mother Nature's way of firing a shot over the bow and warning Earth-based astronomers that we have a lot of work to do."

ITouch Help

So today, my little brother a little bit of protein shake on my itouch. I got it and it was working fine and everything, but after an hour, the side volume button doesnt work and the sleep button doesnt work either.

Hi People! Have you seen the new music video "Interstate" by The Randy Rogers Band". It's very down to earth and has a bunch of feel good footage from the road. They are traveling all over the interstate actually doing shows and having a good time with fans.

It's free on iTunes at the moment. I can watch this video whenever I want iPod. Anyway, check out this link to get a free RRB Music Video http://bit.ly/90889F

Circa Survive In Town at The White Rabbitt 10/29

urunobili — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:30:58 GMT

Hello Guys;

I am planning on going to San Antonio the weekend of the 29th October to go both to see my first Spurs home game on the 30th and attend Circa Survive's concert on the 29th at the White Rabbit.

First thing,

I Wonder if you describe me the venue's size environment etc

Second,
Would any of you would like to go together? I'll be on my own and I don't truly know anyone but I KNOW I'm going to this concert regardless.

Third,
I have been trying to buy my ticket Will Call, but they do not accept international billing addresses. I'll try calling them to try to buy it over the phones but I wonder if any of you could kindly buy me the ticket under my name and I'll PayPal the money immediately. I just don't want to run out of tickets.

Fourth,
What would be a good place on the range of 50 dollars per night for me to stay considering that I'll need to try to move around without a car. (I'll be picked up to go to my Spurs game but I don't know about the venue)

Thank you very much in advance and please PM if you feel to.
Look forward to visiting San Antonio!

Get ready for the deluge of local news coverage, at least, that's what usually happens when something heads our way.

I don't listen to much rock, but their recent album was great on first listen.

Best bands no one's ever heard of?

4>0rings — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 04:16:19 GMT

Name a band that makes really good music but doesn't get national attention. I will listen to them and give an honest opinion as I don't have any biases against most genres of music.
