NASA Confirms 60 feet Asteroid is on Course for a Close Encounter with Earth

Published on Dec 13, 2015

It’s hurtling through space at 35,000 miles per hour and this 60 feet space rock will have a very close encounter with earth

Asteroid 2015 XY261, which was first observed on December 12, 2015, will pass within 0.8 lunar distances (the distance between Earth and the Moon) of Earth.
The space rock is going to pass very close to our planet with a Condition code of 7 – MPC “U” parameter: orbit uncertainty estimate 0-9, with 0 being good, and 9 being highly uncertain.

There are currently 8 known NEO asteroids discovered that will pass with less than 10 LD’s up to the end of this month.
Two mountain-sized asteroids will safely pass on Dec, 24th and 29th.

While confirming that the asteroid is not a threat to Earth, scientists say that if the asteroid were on course to impact earth it would cause a multimegaton atmospheric explosion over Earth’s surface, rather than impacting it. It potentially would be quite damaging (and even lethal) out to distances of 20 to 40 kilometers in all directions if it happened over a populated region with weak structures.

There is a roughly 50 percent chance of a 30-meter-plus asteroid striking Earth each century, according to NLSI team member Clark Chapman, space scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Please report your meteor sightings to this website for posting- Remember IF you are looking for a report and no one reports then everyone lacks information; thank you.

All Sky Fireball Network

Every night, a network of NASA all-sky cameras scans the skies above the United States for meteoritic fireballs. Automated software maintained by NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office calculates their orbits, velocity, penetration depth in Earth’s atmosphere and many other characteristics. Daily results are presented here on Spaceweather.com.

On Dec. 13, 2015, the network reported 29 fireballs.
(15 Geminids, 10 sporadics, 2 December Monocerotids, 1 Quadrantid, 1 alpha Canis Majorid)

In this diagram of the inner solar system, all of the fireball orbits intersect at a single point–Earth. The orbits are color-coded by velocity, from slow (red) to fast (blue). [Larger image] [movies]

Near Earth Asteroids

Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.

On December 13, 2015 there were potentially hazardous asteroids.

Near Earth Asteroids

Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.

On January 12, 2014 there were 1450 potentially hazardous asteroids.

Recent & Upcoming Earth-asteroid encounters:

Asteroid	Date(UT)	Miss Distance	Size
2014 AD16	Jan 8	1.5 LD	15 m
2014 AE29	Jan 9	4.1 LD	15 m
2014 AW32	Jan 10	0.5 LD	15 m
2014 AZ32	Jan 11	6.2 LD	28 m
2007 SJ	Jan 21	18.9 LD	1.9 km
2012 BX34	Jan 28	9.6 LD	13 m
2006 DP14	Feb 10	6.2 LD	730 m
2000 EM26	Feb 18	8.8 LD	195 m
2000 EE14	Mar 6	64.6 LD	1.8 km
2003 QQ47	Mar 26	49.9 LD	1.4 km

Notes: LD means “Lunar Distance.” 1 LD = 384,401 km, the distance between Earth and the Moon. 1 LD also equals 0.00256 AU. MAG is the visual magnitude of the asteroid on the date of closest approach.

Asteroid 201AA Has impacted Earth just hours after it’s initial Discovery

MRSTARGAZERNATION

 

Published on Jan 4, 2014

While everybody else were ringing in 2014 early Wednesday morning, scientists caught sight of what appeared to be a very small asteroid — between 2 and 3 meters in size — on a potential impact trajectory with Earth.

The observation was made at the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona. The space rock, designated 2014 AA, may have been the first asteroid discovery of the New Year. If the space object was an asteroid, scientists, using the scant observational data that was available to them, suggest that it probably entered Earth’s atmosphere sometime between 2 p.m. EST, Wednesday, Jan. 1 and 9 a.m. EST Thursday, Jan. 2.

Three independent projections of the space object’s possible orbit were made by Bill Gray, of the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Steve Chesley from NASA’s Near Earth Object Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The two scientists agree that 2014 AA probably pushed its way into Earth’s atmosphere.

Using data produced by weak signals from three infrasound detections, the crisscrossing of the white lines in this image indicates a possible impact point of asteroid 2014 AA (Peter Brown/University of Western Ontario)

Because of the uncertainty of the object’s orbit, 2014 AA could have fallen anywhere along an arc that extends from Central America to East Africa.

The scientists think that the object may have impacted Earth at 9 PM EST on Jan. 1, just off the coast of West Africa.

NASA said that since another asteroid, 2008 TC3, which was also between 2 to 3 meters in size, completely broke up in October 2008 as it passed over northern Sudan, it’s doubtful that asteroid 2014 AA would have made it through its rough atmospheric entry intact.

Asteroid 2008 TC3, according to NASA, was the only other example of an incoming celestial object that was discovered just prior to hitting Earth.

The scientists are continuing their research into the fate of 2014 AA. They will be analyzing data generated by a few weak signals collected from infrasound — low frequency — monitoring stations located along the predicted impact arc to see if they could be connected to the atmospheric entry of 2014 AA
