Comet ISON - The Worst-Case Scenario

Sunday, May 19, 2013 9:36

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Scientists say that meteors collided with Earth many times in our planet’s history and it continues to happen from time to time.

Today scientists fear that a massive rock surrounded by combustible gases will hurtle towards Earth.

As it enters the atmosphere the gases will ignite to make it a giant flaming ball.

Today NASA is developing plans to nuke meteor threats with unhumanned “nuclear interceptor” vessels before they are able to impact Earth.

On Jauary 7,2002 there was an astronomically close-call from an asteroid 300 meters in diameter (984,25 ft) wandering too close to Earth.

The asteroid dubbed YB5 was large enough to knock out a nation the size of France.

To grasp the extent of damage that will ensue from the impact of asteroids of different sizes, scientists at a 1981 conference on mass extinctions provided the following scenarios:

A collision with a 200 meter diameter (656,17ft) asteroid would produce a 1,000-megaton explosion and between 200,000 and 100 million deaths.

A collision with a 400 meter diameter (1/4 mile) asteroid would produce a 10,000 megaton blast and between two million and one billion deaths. And that is from an asteroid less than half a kilometer across.

A collision with a 10 kilometer diameter (6,21 miles) asteroid striking the ocean would produce a wave up to 5 kilometers (3,11 miles) high from the point of impact.

1,500 kilometers (932,06 miles) away the tsunami would still be 500 meters high (about 1/3 mile).

If such an asteroid were to hit the Gulf of Mexico the waves would cause flooding in Kansas City!

Such waves would wreak devastating havoc on international shipping and many coastal cities.

Between November 14th and 26th December 2013, Comet Ison will cover the distance between the Sun and the close approach to Earth at a speed of approximately 93,000 miles per hour.

In the three months prior to November the 14th 2013 we will witness the comet’s approach to the Sun accelerate at an incredible speed – all from a perfect angle which will see the comet’s tail covering half the sky throughout daylight and nighttime hours with a brightness thirteen times that of the Full Moon.

As the comet swings around the Sun, it will then appear to head directly back towards Earth at great .speed

Comet ISON has the potential to reach significant brightness, to the point that around perihelion in late November it may briefly be bright enough to be seen in the daytime skies next to the Sun.

However, this comet is still an unknown quantity and there certainly also exists a possibility that this comet may not attain these levels of brightness, and indeed could even “fizzle” before reaching us; it is still too early to make definite predictions but also there is the risk of…..
