On February 15, 2013, asteroid 2012 DA14, a 50-meter stony asteroid, will pass the Earth at a distance of about 27,680 kilometers (17,200 miles). Such a close approach happens more frequently than people might think. Objects of this size rarely strike the Earth, however, and 2012 DA14 definitely won’t impact Earth in February. Instead, this close fly-by offers scientists a great chance to study the asteroid.

Ed Beshore, OSIRIS-REx Deputy Principal Investigator, states: “Once again, we are seeing a close pass of a 50-meter-class object. Is something different? Not really — we are just starting to look more closely and we find that these encounters are indeed common. Impacts have been part of the history of the Earth for billions of years.”

Earth’s history of impacts is evident in craters and other evidence around the world. Scientists document the effects of asteroid impacts, model the relative energy of different impactors, and estimate how frequently objects might impact Earth. The diagram shown here compares the explosive effect and frequency for near-Earth objects the size of 2012 DA14 and 1999 RQ36, the target asteroid of the OSIRIS-REx mission, to the energy and frequency represented by well-known impact events on Earth. [The values shown in the figure below were calculated using the Impact Earth! website, www. purdue.edu/impactearth/.]

Like trailers for the coming attraction, new images show asteroid 2012 DA14 on its way to a record-close approach to Earth on Feb. 15. One image, taken by amateur astronomer Dave Herald of Murrumbateman, Australia, on Feb. 13, shows the asteroid as a tiny white dot in the field of view. Another set of animated images, obtained by the Faulkes Telescope South in Siding Springs, Australia, on Feb. 14, and animated by the Remanzacco Observatory in Italy, shows the asteroid as a bright spot moving across the night sky

This animated set of three images depicts asteroid 2012 DA14 as it was seen on Feb. 14, 2013, at a distance of 465,000 miles (748,000 kilometers).

Small near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass very close to Earth on February 15, so close that it will pass inside the ring of geosynchronous weather and communications satellites. NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office can accurately predict the asteroid’s path with the observations obtained, and it is therefore known that there is no chance that the asteroid might be on a collision course with Earth. Nevertheless, the flyby will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to study a near-Earth object up close

The Flyby of Asteroid 2012 DA14 – A Discussion with Don Yeomans of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

On Feb. 15th an asteroid about half the size of a football field will fly past Earth closer than many man-made satellites. Since regular sky surveys began in the 1990s, astronomers have never seen an object so big come so close to our planet.

NASA is sending the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to asteroid 1999 RQ36 to better understand the evolution of its orbit and to retrieve a pristine sample for study on Earth.

The half-hour broadcast from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., will incorporate real-time animation to show the location of the asteroid in relation to Earth, along with live or near real-time views of the asteroid from observatories in Australia, weather permitting.

At the time of its closest approach to Earth at approximately 2:25 p.m. EST (11:25 a.m. PST/ 19:25 UTC), the asteroid will be about 17,150 miles (27,600 kilometers) above Earth’s surface.

The commentary will be available via NASA TV and streamed live online at:  http://www.nasa.gov/ntv  and http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2

 
These real-time simulations depict asteroid 2012 DA14 in its orbit around the sun and provide the asteroid’s current distance from Earth. 2012 DA14 will have a close, but safe, pass by Earth on Feb. 15, 2013 at 2:25 p.m. EST (19:25 UTC). At that time, the asteroid will pass no closer than 17,000 miles above the surface of Earth over Indonesia. The simulations, created with NASA’s Eyes on the Solar Systemrefresh every two minutes.

The NASA Near Earth Objects (NEO) Program at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, manages and funds the search, study, and monitoring of NEOs, or asteroids and comets, whose orbits periodically bring them close to the Earth. NASA’s study of NEOs provides important clues to understanding the origin of our solar system. The objects also are a repository of natural resources and could become waystations for future exploration. In collaboration with other external organizations, one of the program’s key goals is to search and hopefully mitigate potential NEO impacts on Earth. JPL conducts the NEO program’s technical and scientific activities. 

NASA is sending the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to asteroid 1999 RQ36 to better understand the evolution of its orbit and to retrieve a pristine sample for study on Earth.

Q: What is asteroid DA14
A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 is a small near-Earth object – approximately 150 feet (45 meters) in diameter. On Feb. 15, 2013, the asteroid will pass by our planet at a remarkably close distance, but the asteroid’s path is understood well enough that there is no chance of a collision with the Earth.

Q: What date and what time will the asteroid be closest to Earth?
A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 will be closest to Earth on Feb. 15 at approximately 19:24 UTC (2:24 p.m. EST/11:24 a.m. PST). This time may change by a minute or two as the asteroid is tracked on its approach and predictions are refined. 

At the time of closest approach, the asteroid will be over the eastern Indian Ocean, off Sumatra — approx. latitude: -6 deg South. / longitude: 97.5 deg East.

Q: How far away will asteroid 2012 DA14 be at time of closest approach?
A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 will be only about 17,200 miles (27,700 kilometers) above Earth’s surface at the time of closest approach on Feb 15, 2013. This distance is well outside Earth’s atmosphere, but it is inside the belt of satellites in geostationary orbit, which is located 22,200 miles (35,800 kilometers) above Earth’s surface. The close-approach distance is only about one-tenth the distance between Earth and moon. Another way to express the distance between asteroid and Earth at time of closest approach is 4.4 Earth radii from Earth’s surface – or about twice the diameter of the Earth.

Q: Could asteroid DA14 impact Earth?
A: No. The orbit of asteroid 2012 DA14 is well understood – it will not come any closer than 17,150 miles (27,650 kilometers) above Earth’s surface during its flyby on Feb 15, 2013. 

The asteroid’s orbit around the sun is roughly similar to that of Earth, and it makes relatively close approaches to our planet’s orbit twice per orbit. But, the 2013 flyby is by far the closest the asteroid will approach our planet for many decades. The next notable close approach to Earth will be on February 15, 2046, when the asteroid will pass no closer than 620,000 miles (1,000,000 kilometers) from the center-point of Earth. 

While this is the closest possible distance based on observations and calculations as of February 4, 2013, future observations will refine the calculation and may increase the minimum distance of the flyby. As of Feb 9, 2013, the minimum distance is now 1.6 million km or 995,000 miles from the center of Earth. For the most current calculations for this asteroid, visit: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2012%20DA14;orb=1;cov=0;log=0;cad=1;rad=0#cad

Q: What makes 2012 DA14 special?
A: The flyby of asteroid 2012 DA14 is the closest ever predicted Earth approach for an object this large.

Q: How long will asteroid 2012 DA14 be within the Earth/moon system?
A: Asteroid 2012 DA14′s will be within the Earth/moon system for about 33 hours. Its orbit will bring it within the Earth/moon system (approach within one lunar distance, 237,000 miles of the Earth) on Feb. 15 at about 0300 UTC (7 p.m. PST on Thursday, Feb. 14). The asteroid will exit the Earth/moon system on Feb. 16 at about 1200 UTC (4 a.m. PST).

Q: Is there a chance that asteroid 2012 DA14 could be eclipsed by Earth?
A: Because of its trajectory, there is no chance that asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass through Earth’s shadow.

Q: How big is asteroid 2012 DA14?
A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 is currently estimated to be about 150 feet (45 meters) across and has an estimated mass of about 130,000 metric tons. If radar observations of this asteroid are successful, we might have a more accurate estimate of the asteroid’s size after its close approach.

Q: How fast will the asteroid be traveling at closest approach?
A: Asteroid 2012 DA 14 is traveling at about 17,450 miles per hour (28,100 kilometers per hour), or 4.8 miles per second (7.82 kilometers per second) relative to Earth.

Q: Who discovered asteroid DA14?
A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 was discovered by the La Sagra Sky Survey operated by the Astronomical Observatory of Mallorca in Spain on Feb. 23, 2012. The asteroid was about 2.7 million miles (4.3 million kilometers) distant when it was detected. Their observations were reported to the NASA funded Minor Planet Center, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for the International Astronomical Union, where all observations from observatories worldwide are combined to maintain the database on all known asteroids and comets in our solar system.

Q: How many asteroids are out there similar in size to asteroid DA14?
A: Scientists believe there are approximately 500,000 near-Earth asteroids the size of 2012 DA14. Of those, less than one percent have been discovered.

Q: How many times do asteroids the size of DA14 fly this close?
A: Scientists at NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office in Pasadena, Calif. estimate that an asteroid the size of 2012 DA14 flies this close every 40 years on average and that one will impact Earth, on average, about once in every 1,200 years.

Q: Is there a chance that asteroid DA14 will collide with one or more satellites?
A: There is very little chance that asteroid 2012 DA14 will impact a satellite or spacecraft. Because the asteroid is approaching from below Earth, it will pass between the outer constellation of satellites located in geosynchronous orbit (22,245 miles/35,800 kilometers) and the large concentration of satellites orbiting much closer to Earth. (The International Space Station, for example, orbits at the close-in altitude of 240 miles/386 kilometers.). There are almost no satellites orbiting at the distance at which the asteroid will pass.

Q: What will asteroid DA14’s close pass do to Earth’s rotation/tides/fault lines/etc.
A: The gravitational influence upon Earth and its inhabitants by the flyby of asteroid 2012 DA14 will be infinitesimally small.

Q: What would happen if DA14 were to impact Earth?
A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 will not impact Earth, but if another asteroid of a size similar to that of 2012 DA14 (about 150 feet across) were to impact Earth, it would release approximately 2.5 megatons of energy in the atmosphere and would be expected to cause regional devastation. 

A comparison to the impact potential of an asteroid the size of 2012 DA14 could be made to the impact of a near-Earth object that occurred in 1908 in Tuguska, Siberia. Known in the asteroid community as the “Tunguska Event,” this impact of an asteroid just slightly smaller than 2012 DA14 (approximately 100 – 130 feet/30-40 meters across) is believed to have flattened about 750 square miles (1,200 square kilometers) of forest in and around the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

Q: Can I see the asteroid during its close approach?
A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 is small, so even though it will make a close flyby of Earth, the asteroid’s apparent magnitude is expected to peak at about only 7.4 – too dim to be viewed by the naked eye. To view the asteroid, you will need a good pair of binoculars, or even better, a moderately powered telescope. 

During the closest approach, and dependant on local weather, the asteroid will be visible from parts of Europe, Africa and Asia. The asteroid will appear to be moving relatively quickly as it crosses the sky from the south to the north.

Q: What is NASA doing about asteroid 2012 DA14?
A: As there is no chance of impact, there is nothing that needs to be done about the asteroid. However, the flyby of 2012 DA14 is a great opportunity for science. NASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar, located in California’s Mojave Desert, will observe the asteroid on Feb. 16, 18, 19 and 20. Due to the asteroid’s small size, the radar images generated are expected to be no more than a few pixels across. It will also be observed by numerous optical observatories worldwide to attempt to determine its spin rate and composition.

Q: What is NASA doing about Near-Earth Objects?
A: NASA has several ongoing programs regarding asteroid discovery and science. 

The NASA Near Earth Object Observation (NEOO) Program detects and tracks asteroids and comets passing close to Earth using both ground- and space-based telescopes. The network of projects supported by this program, commonly called “Spaceguard,” discovers these objects, characterizes a subset of them and plots their orbits to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our planet. 

All observations from observatories worldwide are sent to the NASA funded Minor Planet Center, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for the International Astronomical Union, where they are combined to maintain the database on all known asteroids and comets in our solar system. The Near-Earth Object Program Office at JPL manages the technical and scientific activities for NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program of the Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. The NEO Program Office performs more precise orbit determination on the objects, and predicts whether any will become an impact hazard to the Earth, or any other planet in the solar system. The NEOO Program also performs orbit analysis on the discovered Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) at Goddard Space Flight Center to determine which ones may become good robotic or human spaceflight destinations in the near future. 

NASA’s 70-meter (230-foot) Goldstone antenna, located about 35 miles north of Barstow on the Ft. Irwin Military Base, is part of NASA’s Deep Space network. The antenna is one of only two facilities capable of imaging asteroids with radar. The other is the National Science Foundation’s 1,000-foot-diameter (305 meters) Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The capabilities of the two instruments are complementary, and NASA’s NEOO Program supports the radar capability at both these facilities. The Arecibo radar is about 20 times more sensitive, can see about one-third of the sky, and can detect asteroids about twice as far away. Goldstone is fully steerable, can see about 80 percent of the sky, can track objects several times longer per day, and can image asteroids at finer spatial resolution. JPL manages the Goldstone Solar System Radar and the Deep Space Network for NASA. 

NASA has also started serveral basic research and technology demonstration projects to better understand the nature of asteroids and how they might best be deflected from an Earth impacting trajectory, or to develop the space technology required to do this. This development work includes improved Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) systems that could push or pull an asteroid for an extended time, and close proximity operations and grappling mechanisms to work in and around asteroids and manipulate their surfaces. This technology will also be useful for future robotic and human missions to these objects, and even potentially resource mining operations.

Q: What current/future NASA missions are targeting asteroids and near-Earth objects?
A: NASA has one asteroid mission underway and another slated for launch in 2016.

Inner Solar System Orbit Diagrams

Below are diagrams of the inner solar system on 2013 January 1. A description of these diagrams is given at the bottom of this page.

These inner solar system diagrams show the positions of all numbered asteroids and all numbered comets on 2013 January 1. The orbits and positions of the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter are also shown. Asteroids are yellow dots and comets are symbolized by sunward-pointing wedges.

The top diagram shows the view from above the ecliptic plane (the plane containing the Earth’s orbit). The bottom diagram shows the view from the edge of the ecliptic plane. In both diagrams, the vernal equinox is to the right along the horizontal axis (+X direction). Only comets and asteroids in JPL’s small-body database as of 2013 January 1 were used.

      100′s of cops, dozens of agencies and they couldn’t find him and he was less than a mile from his torched truck. One of the hostages he held escaped and called the cops are reported him, leading the cops to him, after they lost him again and he car jacked a 2nd vehicle after trashing the purple Nissan. Millions of dollars spent to hunt this guy since they found the truck and they should have found him shortly after finding the burned out truck.

      I was listening to a live scanner feed earlier and the tac team was using swat vehicle to punch holes in the walls of the cabin and they mentioned blood spatters on the wall and they also talked about using the I’m paraphrasing now something like the flaming option that they discussed. The fire was started by the tac team and I hope someone can get the tape from San Bernadino sheriffs dept 7/8 feed. This was not started by tear gas like they are trying to portray.

      Were enough people to think the same way I’m thinking now, Chris Dorner (aka the people who created this made-for tv-”monster”), would start really slaughtering people.

      I suppose, in a sense, I thank all of you who believe everything you are fed. And in this case, there’s a ton of tainted beef being ingested in quantities more copious than Sandy Hook.

      The Masses will believe any and everything they are told. The Sheep will willingly walk to the slaughter. Michael Dorner they dont have him. But if they need to believ they have caught him to sleep at night , so be it. He’s not dead. This was all predictable the whole dam story. Consprisy therist atleast have the ability to THINK outside of the box contrary to believing what the idiot masses believe. Do you get it THINK. I didnt think you would. :idea: White People have been slaves to the nonthinking agenda , dont be offended I am white. All of your non thinking ways are coming back on you and the white race, if you can be called a race are the ones that are paying the ultimate price. We never stood up when other people have been treated like cattle. Why? Because we are cattle headed straight to the slaughter. The white race has lost its ability to think and forget common sense if there was some common sense to buy, you wouldnt know enough to buy some. White race our time is up, so prepare your bunkers because we are goners.

    • Joerg Klaemt

      Do you think NASA would ever admit an Asteroid hitting Earth?
      If 2012DA14 was to hit a stationary Satellite it would completely offset their calculations and the flight path of the Asteroid.
      Imagine a fast bullet like a 7mmMagnum hitting a Leaf! this Rock is faster than a 7mm Bullet,and about the same ratio of Asteroid and Satellite.Any deflection will likely be earthbound due to the earth gravity. Just think about that for a while!,but we will know tomorrow for sure.
      Hope I am wrong, as it could start a serious of events to unfold.

      NASA, never a straight answer, they have always lied and deceived in the past, a leopard does not change its spots. I wonder where the elite are now? I hope that if it does hit the earth, it manages to destroy White House, or the Vatican, or maybe the queen of the lizards herself.

      To anonymous (how cowardly) below, I think there have been more innocent people killed by the LAPD in the search for Chris than how many he was supposed to have killed. Think on that idiot. stop posting BS and defending what is morally repugnant about the police force and citizen “control”

      So I’m guessing by the comments that the original story here was about Dorner?

      This meteorite has nothing to do with that asteroid 2012 ad14.

      From new ZetaTalk

      “Is this meteor related to 2012 DA14, recently discovered and traced to pass between the Earth and Moon later on the same day as the Chelyabinsk meteor? There is no relationship, as 2012 DA14 is an asteroid dislodged from its usual path by the swirling in the tail of Planet X. ”

      And

      “Does the Chelyabinsk meteor usher in a new era of larger and more devastating fireballs descending upon the Earth? Without a question, and all will be coming from the direction of the Sun.”

      i see you are just another brainwashed public idiot, pull your head out of your backside and open your eyes and ask yourself some questions and MAYBE if your brain comes to life you might want to look at this from a different point of view. I doubt you will, drink more city water it keeps your brain conditioned to believe the MSM. corruption is so rampant in this country from our illegal president to our military leaders infiltrated by Muslims, why should you be any different. People like you are allot of what is wrong with this country, you have ASKEWED thinking, what you think is OK is really NOT! and with so many brainwashed people like you, it will be real hard to get our country back !!! IT WILL HAPPEN, you better decide which side your on as it is coming and it is coming real fast!! :twisted:

      @ Apollo is the A/C

      I suppose nine postings are not enough so they make it an even 10?
      Maybe the Asteroid is of less importance until it hits?
      No Idea! Happy Valentine all

      @ Apollo is the A/C – You can post a news story that gets a lot of views and it gets moved to the main page. Once your views start to fall off you can edit the story to something else all together with a different headline while it is still on the main page. The sad part is you can’t remove the comments. This way the story didn’t earn it’s way to the main page.It’s kinda like cheating to keep people reading your stuff.
