Scariest Asteroid To Date Heading To Earth, Capable Of Mass Extinction

a reply to: olaru12

Say "Phage" he has good hearing and we will get answers. Sooner or later one will hit the earth people should accept this.
Has to happen even it not this one.

This is great, date specific doom porn, with ISIS today and asteroid May 14th. Life is good on ATS, even though neither will amount to anything, fun never-the-less. That being said, they keep throwing these asteroid near misses at us, throw enough crap against the wall, one of these times it's gonna stick. Like the boy that cried wolf, when they tell us something is imminent, it will be poo-poo'ed. We're becoming desensitized.

It has an absolute magnitude of 18.3 suggesting a diameter within a factor of two of 680 metres but otherwise its physical properties are poorly known.

Am I reading this right, 680 meters?


Ya know what, I keep looking, hoping even that Ill see something worthwhile in my doom porn vault. I hear people say an asteroid impact is coming and how bad it will be; only to look at the size and see it's essentially like getting a light scratch but dying from a slow infection.

Did the universe stop producing real rocks or something? I want a real rock, one of those 6-8 mile wide jobs.
You know the kind? The ones that give the planet a really good scrubbing. I mean I don't technically "want" that to happen, but I want my porn to be worth it. Excuse me my doom porn. I need some excitement and this missionary style doom porn isn't working for me.

65 million years ago the Universe was kinky, what happened?

Well... it would probably take me about twenty years to die of the partying, but I have to say, I love your style, and wish there where not several thousand miles of ocean, and an almost certain encounter with an overzealous TSA agent (*SNAP* "O.K. Sir, please assume the position.") between myself and your location, if thats how you guys get down over in the Rockies!

But you should not need the excuse of some sort of Extinction Level Event to prompt you to rock out with your proverbial bits out, especially since, as has previously been alluded to in this thread, the objects we are usually talking about, will not even get as close to us as the Moon is! I do love the idea of end of the world parties though... thats a special one!

285331 (1999 FN53) 13th May 2015 26.4 LD Distance
Not even close

(2015 JF) 17th May 2015 9.0 LD Distance
Concerned close (but only 16 m - 35 m in radius)

RSOE EDIS - Emergency and Disaster Information Service

Meh, it's a weak doom porn. Not even close enough for this:



If it doesn't give me a decent chance to Thundar ... it's not good doom porn.

You are more than welcome to any of our "doom porn" parties, but be forewarned; it's the parties in celebration of not being annihilated, are the one's that get rowdy and often spin out of control into hedonistic jubilation ceremonies that more resemble a Roman bacchanal than a bunch of topless hipster's just showing off.

I have a few problems with this piece.
First, they offer no supporting evidence other than statements and claims originally made by a known hack for the Telegraph (seriously, the guy is known for writing doom porn bs).
Second, they state one of their sources as being Bill Napier, professor of astronomy at the University of Buckinghamshire.
There is no "University of Buckinghamshire" (I should know, I live in Buckinghamshire).

There is a University of Buckingham, and there is a William Napier. But he is not "professor of astronomy" as they claim, he's an honorary Professor, and (get this) a NOVELIST who focuses on the ARMAGEDDON OF ASTEROID IMPACT in his novels!

This is all bs and bluster, should go straight to the HOAX bin.

Skim may be overstating it , from what I've read it will pass six million miles away .... the Moon is 238,855 miles away.

Oh NOOOOOOEEEES!

The Moon is gonna hit us!

"Scariest Asteroid To Date Heading To Earth"

1. There is no way they can know that for a fact as we don't know about each and every asteroid that has ever hit the earth.
2. It isn't a fact. The Chicxulub crater is said to have been caused by an object with a 10 km (6 mi) diameter. Or the Vredefort crater caused by an object with a diameter of approximately 5–10 km (3.1–6.2 mi). Or if you consider "To Date" to only include recent history there's the Burckle Crater created by an object of at least a kilometer in diameter...

Doom porn is so... Doom Porny...

You noticed that too huh?!?!? Personally I find them to be questionable and when looking into their details it doesn't get any better.

Latest update from NASA ... the asteroid has " I Warned You" and Gods signature written on it

I am not taking any chances ... I will be wearing my Hard hat, goggles and ear defenders

yeah 26.4 LD is like someone trying to hit a shooting target from a 1000 miles if not more,never going to get even close,i check neo website every day and seen hundreds that are are way closer,this shoudn,t have even been giving a post its that far away.

I've been hearing the asteroid destruction threat since I was in public school.

Keeps humanity on their heels, in fear, in lower states of mind and feeling..

There is no threat, earth has been here for hundreds of millions of years, I'm sure in that time frame, there were much larger threats then anything since my short life span.

But then again, people need to be occupied with bull#..

Who wouldn't want to see the end of the world?
I'm not saying the OP is correct.. Although I've been seeing a lot of 2015 NEO's lately, are we in a storm of sorts?

a reply to: olaru12

I know where I would like it to hit and would even put a cross on the appropriate roof, but its supposedly some 6 million whatevers away.

no we,r not cause i thought that myself last year when i wasn,t checking how many neo,s passed us everyday,if you actually look there is hundreds if not thousands every year that come close,its only the ones that come within the distance of the moon you hear about and even then you don,t hear about them all.

Hoax? Apparently you missed this one that I referenced on page 1. It really helps to read the thread in it's entirety, before making a fool of yourself.

I have often thought about what an INCREDIBLE party you could have if you knew the world was going to end the next day. Imagine, money is no object, and people have NOTHING to lose. WOW. WOW..
