CNN: Undetected Asteroids Could Threaten Earth During Government Shutdown – Breitbart

by KATHERINE RODRIGUEZ
21 Jan 2018

Two CNN correspondents claimed during an episode of The Lead with Jake Tapper that an asteroid could potentially threaten the Earth if the government shutdown continues.
CNN correspondent Tom Foreman recalled the time NASA could not monitor “potentially dangerous asteroids” for over two weeks, implying that NASA would not be able to prevent an asteroid attack if it hit Earth while the government shut down.

“In space, that same year, for more than two weeks, NASA reportedly stopped monitoring potentially dangerous asteroids. A big one, by the way, is expected to brush by Earth on February 4th,” Foreman noted.

[…]

Foreman added that if Congress does not reach a deal on a funding package and DACA amnesty negotiations, illegal aliens would be “thrust into a dangerous legal limbo.”

“If there is no deal as these negotiations stand right now, nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants who came as children, the so-called DREAMers would be thrust into a dangerous legal limbo,” he said.

Nature gets in on the act!
Update: “Scientists in the United States are bracing for impact”!!!

Scientists in the United States are bracing for impact after lawmakers in Congress failed to agree on a plan to fund the government, triggering its indefinite shutdown on 20 January.

As a result of the impasse, thousands of federal researchers have been ordered to stay at home, barred from accessing their government e-mail and phones. That will leave many science agencies staffed by small numbers of ‘essential’ employees, interrupting government research on everything from winter snowpack in the western United States to the inner workings of the brain. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) will stop processing grants, depriving some academic researchers of crucial funding, and NASA may be forced to delay the launch of spacecraft that have spent years in development.

But worst of all, many researchers say, there is no clear sign when the shutdown will end.

Nature



They are reporting the government shutdown in the same way that they report the wrather (climate change)… Unprecedented and worse than previously imagined!!!

Asteroid 2002 AJ129 , February 4,.. they've known. About it since 2002, as the name always say when they're discovered, half a mile wide and won't get any closer than 2.6 million miles from us...

‘interesting article as always’.

fascinating

thank you for sharing.

too stupid to even respond to. like viewing it is going to change it's trajectory. or prevent us from using our super duper asteroid buster on it

Yea, they're preying on the uneducated and ignorant Democrats to scare them of the republicans more... Sad

a bit scary too.
not really, since it's a long distance tracking system... The things they look for are months/years away

10 plus times the distance to the moon

funny thing is that Asteroid 2002 AJ129 has been plotted for years now, it needs no monitoring...frustrated

Yes..when i read the article, I could not stop laughing...very seldom now imo does the headline match the contents of the article...the supermarket tabloids are definitely online now...

There is a situation that could spell disaster concerning celestial objects that is often over-looked and under-reported.

Distant Celestial Object Impacts

This is where an object (comet, asteroid) impacts another object (comet, asteroid) and sends it into a new trajectory. Where that new trajectory passes within the gravitation influence of a larger body (moon, planet) which sends it on a long duration trajectory with an Earth impact.

These threats are not mainstream reported because they hold no sensationalism value in the immediate future. They are tracked tho.

Impact threat from asteroid Apophis cannot be ruled out
June 26, 2017
http://phys.org/news/2017-06-impact-threat-asteroid-apophis.html

"Apophis has a Palermo Scale rating of about minus three, so while we cannot rule out an impact in the future, it is about 1,000 times less likely than a random impact in the same interval of time. Due to a close but non-impacting pass by the Earth, there are numerous possible impact trajectories beyond that, but all are of very low probability."

Apophis is but one of thousands of asteroids that have had their trajectories changed by other celestial objects.

The real 'scare' is the one that hasn't been detected. The one that still has influential trajectory changes yet to occur. Right now, those objects are not considered a threat because science has not plotted its trajectory changes mainly because it is not currently a threat.

Imagine a pool table. You can figure out where the Que ball will go after it hits the ball you are aiming at, you know it will stop eventually, but, imagine if it didn't stop, and none of the other balls that were set in motion by it stopped. Eventually, every ball on the table will be impacted by one or more balls, multiple times. (a limited scenario but the basic idea)

In space, asteroids and comets are made of different densities. So when one impact another they sometimes deflect but they also sometimes fragment. Those fragments then become new balls on the table. Sometimes they are absorbed by the mass of what they impact and sometimes they are deflected.

Recently I read an article that said the mass of the Sun is changing the orbits of the planets over time.

Like the waistband of a couch potato in midlife, the orbits of planets in our solar system are expanding. It happens because the Sun's gravitational grip gradually weakens as our star ages and loses mass. Now, scientists have indirectly measured this mass loss and other solar parameters by looking at changes in Mercury's orbit.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/01/180118141822.htm

The study is tracking planetary orbital changes but asteroids and comets are also affected because they also have mass affected by the Sun's gravitational grip.

How likely is it that the tracking scenarios currently used as fact have taken into consideration the understanding of the January 2018 discovery?
The models are likely wrong.
This new understanding warrants a complete re-inspection and plotting of all known near misses using the new gravitational measurements of the Sun's influence.
