Here is one more graph with the points plotted from Nov 5 to Nov 13, hourly.
Fix the image please... Im very interested to see what you have there!edit on 7-11-2011 by TomServo because: (no reason given)

If the relative velocity decreases the change in relative distance over a given time span decreases. The "closing rate" between the Earth and the asteroid decreases. Your interpolated data point is invalid, it assumes a constant rate.
ASTEROID FLYBY: NASA radars are monitoring 2005 YU55, an asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier, as it heads for a Nov. 8th flyby of the Earth-Moon system. There is no danger to our planet. At closest approach on Tuesday at 3:28 pm PST (23:28 UT), the 400m-wide space rock will be 324,600 kilometers away, about 85% the distance from Earth to the Moon.
Professional astronomers are eagerly anticipating the flyby as the asteroid presents an exceptionally strong radar target. Powerful transmitters at Goldstone and Arecibo will ping the space rock as it passes by, revealing the asteroid's shape and texture in crisp detail, and pinpointing its orbit for future flyby calculations. A movie from JPL explains:
Asteroids this big have passed by Earth at similar distances many times before, but this is the first time astronomers have known about the flyby in advance. For instance, a similar encounter occurred in 1976 when 2010 XC15 split the distance between Earth and the Moon. Researchers didn't discover that space rock until 24 years after the flyby. The Nov. 8, 2011, passage of 2005 YU55 thus represents a rare opportunity for asteroid research.
Experienced amateur astronomers should be able to photograph 2005 YU55 as it zips through the constellations Aquila and Pegasus glowing like an 11th magnitude star. Even under the full moonlight of Nov. 8th, such a bright asteroid is within reach of mid-sized backyard telescopes. The timing of the flyby favors observers in western Europe and eastern parts of North America. Check Sky & Telescope for observing tips or go straight to JPL for the object's ephemeris.

A couple things came to mind while reading this post.
First, the big deal about ELENIN was E.L.E.N.I.N. Extinction Level Event Nibiru Is Near, or others have interpreted it as the date 11/9. I'm not saying that's what it really is, but Elenin itself was not the biggie here. We imagined it might have caused some earthquakes or whatnot but fear mongers blew it up way more than it should have been.

"If the relative velocity decreases the change in relative distance over a given time span decreases" - That goes without saying.
" The "closing rate" between the Earth and the asteroid decreases." I disagree... I maintain that the relative velocity between the two (closing rate) never changes, therefore there is a constant Trend in the distance between the two over time. It is the trend that's inconsistent0.edit on 7-11-2011 by TomServo because: (no reason given)

Maybe I will re state my overall thought on this Elenin / Yu55 subject.
If things pan out the way it is supposed to, WHO CHANGED the trajectory of YU55?
Asteroids do not change trajectory! Who has lied to us?

The fact that it's not constant (hope you saw my graph) shows that it will not hit Earth.

Look at you all coming to his rescue, its so cute I'm just calling out how I see things, and this is a conspiracy website after all. Don't you think agents would be planted here? Or that they even started the website in the first place? All he does is regurgitate what's on government websites. The ones who lie to us in the first place. That's fine, report me. Keeping chewing on what they're spoon feeding you, with your eyes wide shut. I'm not saying I know any better, hell he does know more about this stuff than me which makes him so perfect for the role. Yes he has been consistent, and he may also be right yet again. But is his only purpose here to keep the public calm? Either way, smells fishy.
