Spacecraft Captures Video Of Giant Asteroid Approach
The video loops 20 images obtained for navigation purposes on June 1. The images show a dark feature near Vesta’s equator moving from left to right across the field of view as Vesta rotates. Images also show Vesta’s jagged, irregular shape, hinting at the enormous crater known to exist at Vesta’s south pole.
Scientists working with NASA’s Dawn spacecraft have created a new video showing the giant asteroid Vesta as the spacecraft approaches this unexplored world in the main asteroid belt.
The video loops 20 images obtained for navigation purposes on June 1. The images show a dark feature near Vesta’s equator moving from left to right across the field of view as Vesta rotates. Images also show Vesta’s jagged, irregular shape, hinting at the enormous crater known to exist at Vesta’s south pole.
This movie shows surface details beginning to resolve as NASA’s Dawn spacecraft closes in on the giant asteroid Vesta. The framing camera aboard NASA’s Dawn spacecraft obtained the images used for this animation on June 1, 2011, from a distance of about 300,000 miles (483,000 kilometers).

The images were obtained by a framing camera during a 30-minute period and show about 30 degrees of a rotation. The pixel size in these images is approaching the resolution of the best Hubble Space Telescope images of Vesta.
“Like strangers in a strange land, we’re looking for familiar landmarks,” said Jian-Yang Li, a Dawn participating scientist from the University of Maryland, College Park. “The shadowy spot is one of those – it appears to match a feature, known as ‘Feature B,’ from images of Vesta taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.”

Before orbiting Vesta on July 16, Dawn will gently slow down to about 75 mph (120 kph). NASA is expecting to release more images on a weekly basis, with more frequent images available once the spacecraft begins collecting science at Vesta.
“Vesta is coming more and more into focus,” said Andreas Nathues, framing camera lead investigator, based at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany. “Dawn’s framing camera is working exactly as anticipated.”
The mission is managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate’s Discovery Program, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., designed and built the Dawn spacecraft. The framing cameras were developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau, Germay.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin made significant contributions in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering in Braunschweig. The framing camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR and NASA.
The video from Dawn also will air Monday afternoon on NASA Television’s Video File. For NASA TV downlink information, schedules and links to streaming video, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv

NASA is lying, that is a computer generated image, THEY KNOW what is out there and have set up weapons in space in a futile attempt to try and fight Christ when he returns… they know the so called “UFO’s” are the chariots of the Most High made of pure fire, that’s why they always glow and can appear and disappear when ever they like, the angels man the chariots and they are watching… Christ is returning but they can’t tell the world that, WAKE UP SHEEP!
obvious troll is obvious
Looks like a tooth ah
Scientific and religious evidence certainly suggests it.
Indeed, scientists are well aware of the mammoth comet hurtling towards Earth, which according to them shall collide circa 2026. Although scientists believe that by 2026 we will have the technology necessary to destroy or redirect the comet, there is a highly plausible chance that we simply won’t. The increase in destructive natural disasters in recent years and the state of the world’s resources today are clear indicators that the end is near.
The strong tensions between the East and the West today means that a catastrophic war is likely to break out; this is a commonality amongst prophecies from different religions regarding the end times. Besides this, the rise in immorality in today’s society and loss of the spiritual system in the religions also point to the fact that we are in the end times.
Even though times are about to get very difficult for mankind, the Awaited Ones represent hope for humanity! Images of the Awaited Messiah, Imam Mehdi and Kalki Avatar, His Sublime Eminence Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi as well as Lord Jesus Christ have appeared miraculously on various celestial and terrestrial objects, and can be called upon in times of adversity.

I HAVE TO SAY IT ONE MORE TIME:
You don’t have to believe me, wait for the first few events and then I hope you will find the table below handy if you were clever to print it in case of lose of net or electricity.
God in the Quran WARNS the believers of 31 meterorite showers to strike Earth from 7th January 2012 to 7th November 2012 along 31 latitudes each lasting exactly 4 days.
Any place where God is worshipped will be spared on purpose to show the survivors that wa all sowrship the same ONE GOD, and because the Quran has the info to save yourself, then ISLAM is the stright path to God and all other are stray paths.

Dear Ali Adams,no one ever has the absolute truth.Not you,nor Camping or others.Only the CREATOR,who can be very well not a man with long white or black beard but a form of super energy,energy to which our understanding cant get ever – most people use only 10% of theirs brain capacity,other less – so we and our planet are just a corn sand into a enormous desert in this huge Univers – Multiverse(s).Nowdays there are many people who acting Voice of God,Mahomed,Budha or Nostradamus.Last months 21 april,one of these Voices has lost the battle being made of shame for all “end of world” predictions.I´m not saying that´s not gonna happen,unfortunately,but no one on this Earth knows when,time,zone,etc.I think much of the worlds trubble,it comes only from RELIGIONS.All religions are good and no one is above the other.I always lived after the ten commandments and never ever tryed to convince other that my beliefs are best.If you have putt this tabell here and if everything you said would happen, have you achieved your goal? what should do people who know they will die tommorow(in your opinion)by the way:what should you and your family do in this case? to be honest with you, I would receive the news and que sera,sera,but it done not so way….
Its an asteroid, a giant bit of rock, not an frickin angel, demon, jesus or a hairy wookie. NASA is not lying you can see this through something called a telescope (albeit a powerful one).
God is the Creator and Sustainer of all existence in real-time, not a man sitting up in the sky.
God is Omni everything …
And my findings HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE END OF THE WORLD in case you haven’t notice.
My findingس are not guesses either. They comes from God’s book, The Quran which literally means, The Readable despite being encrypted.
If I am to die now I am happy that I have done what I could to warn all, and God chooses whom He saves depending on our own actions thus far.
Be ready to accept that the book that tells you where the events are and when, all 31 times is The Truth and all religions are paths to God and He doesn’t want religions named after people but TRUE SUBMISSION to HIM ONLY and this is the meaning of Islam. All prophets were Muslim and every child is born Muslim (Submitter to the Will of his/her Creator).
Peace,
Ali Adams
