Where will the meteorite fall on October 12. An asteroid is approaching Earth

Conspiracy theorists are again talking about a new "end of the world", which, according to them, awaits us on October 12, 2017. According to researchers, the asteroid 2012 TC4, discovered back in 2012, will bring the apocalypse.

According to experts, the diameter of the celestial body, according to various estimates, ranges from 12 to 40 meters. According to calculations, it is on October 12, 2017 that it will approach the Earth at a dangerous distance, less than the “clearance” between the Earth and the Moon. Conspiracy theorists claim that in the event of a fall of a celestial body, “the end of the world” awaits us.

It is known that the asteroid 2012 TC4 already flew past our planet at a distance of about 94,800 km in 2012, the site writes. The calculations showed that this year the celestial body will be even closer to us.

Cases of collision of asteroids with the Earth are not known. In this case, scientists also do not observe a 100% threat. Two factors cause concern: the proximity of its trajectory and our planet, and also the fact that the asteroid is not well understood, and therefore it is not possible to clearly predict its behavior.

The only indisputable fact is that even just flying by, a cosmic body can have a negative impact on the Earth. It can provoke earthquakes, storms and other natural disasters. In the event of its fall, global catastrophes definitely await our Earth. And the place of his fall will be decisive whether he can survive at all.

Nothing can be said with certainty about the possibility of its fall. Astronomers do not make any predictions, because whether it will fall at all, and if it falls, then where, they do not know. First of all, this is because the totality of data they have suggests that a collision will not occur. An asteroid passing by can be seen through a telescope.

Official science assures that 2012 TS4 does not threaten us, but at the same time, scientists agree that when a celestial body falls, it can provoke global catastrophes on Earth: an asteroid can provoke earthquakes, a volcanic eruption, a tsunami and other natural disasters in which humanity is most likely to , can't survive.

NASA specialists are now monitoring the approach of another asteroid - 2012 TC4, which will rush past the Earth on October 12 at a distance of 43.5 thousand km, RIA Novosti reports. The diameter of the space alien can be from 12 to 27 meters, which makes it possible to compare it with a meteorite that entered the atmosphere on February 15, 2013 at a speed of about 18 km per second and exploded at an altitude of 15–25 km in the vicinity of Chelyabinsk.

So far, scientists have not determined how likely the asteroid is to collide with the Earth, since it is located at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers from the planet. However, for example, a specialist in near-Earth space objects from the European Space Agency, the chances of an asteroid colliding with the Earth are only "one in a million."

Koshni noted that the size of bodies moving in space is estimated by brightness. Therefore, at present it is not possible to determine the exact size of the asteroid, it can be from 10 to 40 meters.

“An object measuring 40 meters will pass through the atmosphere and leave a crater on Earth, a 10-meter asteroid will go almost unnoticed,” Koshni explained.

The Institute of Astronomy in Moscow explained that the collision of this giant asteroid with our planet is unlikely. Even if it happens in the future, the end of the world will not happen. But devastating tsunamis and earthquakes will shake many countries.

At the very beginning of spring, March 8, 2020, the inhabitants of planet Earth celebrate a wonderful holiday - International Women's Day.

March 8 is a non-working holiday in Russia. In 2020, it falls on Sunday, which is already a "traditional" day off for Russians. Well, what about Monday? We tell you what it is - a weekend or a working day.

According to the law, if a non-working day in the Russian Federation falls on an official holiday, then the day off is transferred to the next working day.

Accordingly, Sunday, March 8, 2020 becomes a public holiday, and the day off is postponed to Monday, March 9, 2020.

That is, March 9, 2020 in Russia is a day off or a working day:
* March 9, 2020 - day off.

Also on this day, another full moon occurs, coinciding with one of the Supermoons of 2020. If we are lucky with the weather (there will be a clear sky), after sunset we will be able to observe a huge beautiful Moon.

In the future, the revision of pensions for length of service awaits working pensioners ( from August 1, 2020), and military pensioners from October 1, 2020.

End of the world in 2017 - true or false? Is the mysterious Nibiru approaching the Earth, or will the asteroid 2012 TC4 fall somewhere on October 12, 2017? Will these widely predicted clashes be the last?

The earth is about to end again. The new end of the world has already been dated and is inexorably approaching. What do conspiracy theorists around the world think about this?

Asteroid 2012 TC4 - where it will fall, the latest news about the approach to Earth.

The potential danger is the asteroid 2012 TC4, which will fly past the Earth on October 12, 2017, and so close that it is considered a potential destroyer of all life. By the way, the cosmic body was discovered in 2012 and already flew past the Earth - its trajectory passed at a distance of 0.247 LD (Lunar Distance).

Note: Lunar Distance - literally: lunar distance. A unit of determination of the Earth-safe distance for asteroids and other cosmic bodies. In astronomy, it is believed that all asteroids and meteorites flying past the Earth at a distance of less than 384.467 km - the distance from the Earth to the Moon, are potentially dangerous.

October 12, 2017 asteroid 2012 TC4 will approach our planet by 0.079 LD, which is about 95 thousand km. Of course, compared to a safe distance of 384,467 km, 95 thousand km looks much more intimidating.

The end of the world as a result of the collision of the Earth with an asteroid will cause all sorts of cataclysms - from tsunamis to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The size of 2012 TC4 does not allow blowing up a planet of this size, so a fantasy end of the world, like in movies like Armageddon, will not work. The TC4 size is approximately 40 meters in diameter. For comparison, the diameter of the Chelyabinsk meteorite was 17 meters and it did not cause world cataclysms.

Anyone who is interested in what this violator of earthly plans looks like - the Astrowatch portal, which was the first to open the eyes of the world to the approaching threat, published a photo of the TS4 asteroid:

Another doomsday, and again in October - approaching the Earth "death star" called Nibiru.

According to REN-TV, citing the reasoning of British conspiracy theorist David Meade, Nibiru will destroy life on Earth on October 21, 2017. Of course, if there is still something left of her after the attack of the above-described "guest". Mead also issued either a conclusion or a prophecy: the inhabitants of the Earth will be saved by none other than Kim Jong-un, who will bring down "planet X" with the help of nuclear weapons. By the way, another potential scenario is a nuclear war, interpreted from the predictions of all kinds of elders.

Also, according to the source, the death of the Earth can occur according to the following scenarios - a UFO invasion, another asteroid, but already in November, and a strong magnetic flare, again in October 2017.

Three doomsdays for the next ten years. Don't forget to mark on your calendar

How many ends of the world have we just not experienced, including the very last, loudest, from the date of which this December marks exactly five years. Well, for those who breathed a sigh of relief in 2012, having decided that the good old Mayan Indians still made a mistake, and a custom-built bunker with a ten-year supply of stew and canned fish can be safely sold or converted into a cellar, we have there is great news.

Don't be discouraged, if you're lucky, your investment in drinking water, matches and 300 kilos of sugar could still pay off, as there are a couple of other milestones ahead of us in the next ten years. So, we present to you the top three nearest doomsday dates that every fan of dubious prophecies simply must mark in his wall calendar.

Asteroid 2012 TC4: Astronomers will test their global asteroid defense system.

Asteroid 2012 TC4 will pass farther from Earth than some scientists first thought. A small asteroid will fly by Earth on October 11-12, 2017. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and other astronomers and observatories around the world, are observing a small asteroid, designated 2012 TC4. It will pass close to the Earth on October 11-12, 2017.

Asteroid 2012 TC4: the object will pass at a distance of about

50,000 km above the Earth's surface

Previously, experts have already said that the asteroid will not hit the Earth. But scientists assumed that 2012 TC4 would hit our planet, passing at a distance of about 6800 km.
The new observations allowed them to refine some data on the orbit of asteroid 2012 TC4 and better calculate its minimum distance from Earth.
Thus, scientists now know that the object will pass at a distance of about 50,000 km above the Earth's surface.
2012 TC4 will be closest to Earth around 05:42 UTC October 12th.

It will get close enough that Earth's gravity will slightly change the path of the asteroid. Later that day, on October 12, the asteroid will pass at a distance of about 277,000 km from the Moon. The asteroid is currently flying at a speed of about 50,000 km/h.
While it seems very dim at the moment, it will get brighter as it gets closer.

Asteroid 2012 TC4: The best place to watch the asteroid is in North and South America.

Asteroid 2012 TC4 will not be visible to the naked eye.
But experienced observers with telescopes and mapping software will be able to observe the movement of the asteroid.
The Virtual Telescope Project in Italy will be offering two online observing sessions on October 11 and 12 in collaboration with the Tenagra Observatories in Arizona.
It is better to observe the asteroid in North and, especially, South America. 2012 TC4 is hurtling from the constellation of Capricorn into the constellation of southern Sagittarius.

Asteroid 2012 TC4: Astronomers plan to use asteroid 2012 TC4 in an exercise to test NASA's planetary asteroid defense network.

In the meantime, CNEOS is working with International Network astronomers.
They plan to use asteroid 2012 TC4 in an exercise to test NASA's planetary asteroid defense network.
They said they intend to test their ability to recover, characterize and report a potentially hazardous object approaching Earth.
Recovery in this sense does not mean the recovery of a sample from an asteroid.
This means reconstructing the object through telescopes as it moves across the skies using tracking data from an earlier pass.

It is not yet known how close the asteroid will come to the planet.

On October 12, 2017, a potentially dangerous asteroid TC4 will fly near the Earth, The Mirror reported. University of Texas astronomer Jujit Rees believes the asteroid is about 40 meters wide. A collision of a moving body with the Earth can cause greater consequences than a meteorite crash in the Chelyabinsk region in February 2013.

Koshni noted that the size of bodies moving in space is estimated by brightness. Therefore, at present it is not possible to determine the exact size of the asteroid, it can be from 10 to 40 meters.

"An object measuring 40 meters will pass through the atmosphere and leave a crater on Earth, a 10-meter asteroid will go almost unnoticed," Koshni explained.

Recall that on March 27, an asteroid twenty times larger and a thousand times more powerful than the Chelyabinsk meteorite could collide with the Earth. Scientists have determined the approximate place of its fall - in Europe, it would have destroyed several cities at once. A cosmic body the size of a dozen football fields flew at a distance of about four and a half million kilometers from Earth.

However, the Institute of Astronomy in Moscow explained that the collision of this giant asteroid with our planet is unlikely. Even if it happens in the future, the end of the world will not happen. But devastating tsunamis and earthquakes will shake many countries.

Meanwhile...

Three hours ago, a small asteroid passed the Earth, similar in size and trajectory to the progenitor of the meteorite that fell on Chelyabinsk in February 2013, according to the Center for Minor Planets of the International Astronomical Union.

This asteroid was discovered by the Mount Lemmon Observatory last weekend and has been named 2017 TB1. According to current estimates of scientists, its diameter is from 27 to 67 meters, which is approximately equal to the estimated size of the asteroid that exploded over the Urals in the winter of 2013.

Today at 7 o'clock in the morning Moscow time, he approached the Earth at a maximum distance corresponding to 34 distances between the Moon and our planet, or 13.2 million kilometers. The farthest point of its orbit is at the inner edge of the main asteroid belt beyond the orbit of Mars, at a distance of about 1.8 times greater than the distance between the Sun and the Earth, and the closest to the Sun is at about the same distance as the Earth's orbit.

This point, as the current calculations of scientists show, he reached on October 5 this year, after which he began his return trip towards Mars and the asteroid belt, meeting with the Earth. According to astronomers, it will return to our planet in about 600 days. This asteroid, as astronomers emphasize, does not pose a threat to humanity and the probability of its collision with the Earth is virtually zero in any foreseeable future.
