Close Calls

[Goldfinger]

Hi Guys-

Saw this article about close asteroid encounters. There's also a chart which I found interesting. Now if I could only get a small one to land in the backyard..

Awww, you ain't got to be so stingy there Goldfinger, you should pray for a bigger one to come in and fragment 10 miles up so we can all come down and find a half dozen pieces each, there ain't nothin sweeter than a 100 meteorite hunters taking 100's of $ from fancy "city boy" collectors who like to brag about their disposable incomes.

Well if the internet rumors of Nibiru turn out to be a fact there will be plenty for all who want to pick up the pieces in Dec. 2012, if anyone is still alive to do so!!

But NASA has no info that such a planet as Nibiru is out there much less going to hit earth, and NASA has a question Q & A page to put an end to all the rumors of the world coming to an end in Dec. 2012, but NASA is a part of the government and would be the first to put out bad info so as to not put the public into a panic over this if it is true. :hmmmmm:

Hi Skip,

There are some interesting things out there that NASA isn't prepared to talk about. Go to Google Sky, then go to the constellation Virgo. Look around for a few minutes, then switch the mode to "infared". You'll see something they have blocked from your view. Also, if you backtrack in the direction that it came from, (to the right on your screen) on the same arc, you'll see something else out there that's unusual. You can blow up the images quite a bit to see these "anomalies".
