NEO 2005 YU55 Close Approach May Bring Increased Meteor Activty
NEO (Near Earth Object) asteroid 2005 YU55 with a detected diameter of 400 meters is to safely pass the Earth on November 8, 2011. This body with a close interaction may have accompanying debris that may encounter Earth as meteors or fireballs. There is also a possibility that the Moon may experience increased meteor activity. Have your allsky cameras ready and get outside to observe if possible. If you have a telescope this object will be visible. Increased meteor/fireball activity will be 2-3 days on either side of Tuesday, November 8. Another potential for increased meteor activity, asteroid 2011 UT91, will pass on 15NOV2011.

      ^^^^^^”Way to Heaven”^^^^^^

      Why so spammy in your approach? haha but seriously.. Your Christian theology is, evidently so, as conventionally sound as a wikipedia submission. However, I reverently, as well as respectfully, suggest that you research alternatives to the whole Heaven or Hell, guilt induced, tithe obligatory, dogmatic ultimatums that have fear mongered the world since the 4th century. For objectivity sake, you could perhaps try researching alternative beliefs to diversify your perspective, specifically concerning Universal Truths and life after death.

      (In response to the story):

      Not so much concerned with the threats to the earth but those to the moon. None the less, it will be interesting to see what implications this comet has in store throughout those three days.

      YU55 near earths path is the 9th est
      go to the neo site
      NEO Near Earth Object
      Site link
      http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2005%20YU55;orb=1

      hit the >I until you see the closest Earth distance which is .0022AU and that will be on the 9th

      That’s why its called the 11 9 11
      for you end times people 9 11 forward and backwards
      wholly Nostra-dam-us

      oooooh booga booga

      As for The GOD or no GOD
      get a grip, you don’t want to believe or do its a persons choice
      if someone thinks they are trying to help save you, that’s nice of them to have respect to do that.

      But really your retort has the sound of jack boots clicking, and a ladder creaking, from you trying to hold yourself higher than someone else…

      PL EASE
      play nice now children.

      Japanese man insistently ask you “why you 55?” “why you 55?”

      *poke*

      “why you 55?”

      It will be interesting to discover the effects of a close fly-by of a small asteroid. The gravitational effects of a large body like earth on the small asteroid, the debris pattern (if any) and if anything unexpected occurs.

      As far as the religious post. I guess enough people clicked the spam button that it was removed by the time I got here. But I would like to comment: If it was pure spam, that is, a previously written blurb slammed in, then it is just that, pure spam, and it is inappropriate. If, however, it was written in response to the article and merely contained religious overtones, then it is the opinion of the writer and has a place among everyone elses posted comments and opinions.

      I’m a christian myself and my beliefs shape my conceptual framework, and my opinions reflect that. I’m supposed to be tolerant of the droll and ignorant when they express their opinions, so I would hope that those who don’t share my insights would at least respect my right to express them.

      Death is the greatest kick of all.
      That’s why it’s saved for last.
      Can’t stop destiny, especially if it’s coming in from outside your solar system.
      Stand by for the light show.

      It sure will have company. All the little YU55′s when it mated with Elenin.
