Huh. Ponderism: Why is it that the laws of a 3D universe, and how plants, satellite and moons orbit around the sun… Do not apply to asteroids? Well… At least THESE (below): [via The Extinction Protocol]May 30. 2012 – SPACE – Two small asteroids zipped close by Earth in back-to-back flybys of the planet Monday and Tuesday. While both space rocks came well within the moon’s orbit, they posed no danger to our planet, NASA scientists say. The newfound asteroid 2012 KP24 zoomed by Earth Monday, coming within 32,000 miles (51,000 kilometers) on its closest approach, according to astronomers at NASA’s Asteroid Watch at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. “We’ll have a close but very safe pass of asteroid 2012 KP24 May 28,” scientists with NASA’s Asteroid Watch program assured via Twitter. Asteroid Watch is part of the Near-Earth Object Office at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. The NEO office oversees the agency’s efforts to detect, track and characterize potentially dangerous asteroids or comets that could zoom close to Earth. The recently discovered asteroid 2012 KP24 measures about 69 feet (21 meters) across and did not pose any threat to Earth during its flyby, NASA scientists said. But this space rock is not the only one that paid a close visit to our planet this week. Another small asteroid, called 2012 KT42, flew past Earth early Tuesday. The asteroid came within 8,950 miles (14,400 km) on its closest approach, which easily fits between the Earth and moon’s orbit. For comparison, the moon typically circles Earth at a distance of about 240,000 miles (386,000 km). While asteroid 2012 KT42 was only discovered yesterday, the space rock did not pose any impact threat Earth when it made its closest approach at 3:07 a.m. EDT, NASA scientists said. The small space rock is only about 16 feet (5 m) wide, which means it would not pack much of a punch even if it did hit the planet, according to astronomer Tony Phillips on his website Spaceweather.com, which monitors major space weather and skywatching events. -MSNBC[Read More] Sure, for those of you know know… The answer is obvious. But for all the rest of us? There is only MinutePhysics… If gravity is so attractive, why doesn’t the earth just crash into the sun? Or the moon into the earth? The answer: Stable Orbits Which only often poses more interesting questions… The more I watch their episodes. Surprisingly? I am so cool with that.

Danas će kraj Zemlje projuriti asteroid veličine autobusa Asteroid 2012 BX34, veličine gradskog autobusa, proći će 59 tisuća kilometara od Zemlje što može iskusnim astronomima amaterima pružiti pravu predstavu Mali asteroid proći će u petak vrlo blizu Zemlje, na oko jedne šestine udaljenosti Mjeseca, no ta svemirska stijena ne predstavlja opasnost za planet, objavili su znanstvenici američke svemirske agencije NASA, javlja Hina. Novopronađeni asteroid 2012 BX34, koji je veličine gradskog autobusa, proći će 59 tisuća kilometara od Zemlje u petak oko 16:30 po srednjoeuropskom vremenu, objavili su astronomi NASA-inog programa praćenja asteroida, prenosi astronomski portal Spaceweather.com. Svemirska stijena promjera je oko 11 metara i premala da bi bila prijetnja Zemlji. "Ona kroz našu atmosferu ne bi prošla netaknuta, ako bi se usudila probati", objavili su na Twitteru znanstvenici programa Asteroid Watch, koji je dio NASA-inog Laboratorija za mlazni pogon u Pasadeni, u Kaliforniji. Asteroid 2012 BX34 će proletjeti na 17 posto udaljenosti Zemlje i Mjeseca. Mjesec kruži oko Zemlje na prosječnoj udaljenosti od oko 386,000 km. Prolazeći tako blizu Zemlji, asteroid će ponuditi iskusnim astronomima amaterima veliku predstavu, ako su na pravoj lokaciji i imaju dobru opremu, navodi Spaceweather.com.
