Former Military Air Traffic Controller Claims Comet Collision with Earth on May 25, 2006

KEALAKEKUA, Hawaii, April 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Eric Julien, a former French military air traffic controller and senior airport manager, has completed a study of the comet 73P Schwassmann- Wachmann and declared that a fragment is highly likely to impact the Earth on or around May 25, 2006.

Comet Schwassman-Wachmann follows a five-year orbit that crosses the solar system's ecliptic plane. It has followed its five year orbit intact for centuries; but, in 1995, mysteriously fragmented. According to Julien, this is the same year that a crop circle appeared showing the inner solar system with the Earth missing from its orbit. He argues the "Missing Earth" crop circle was a message from higher intelligences warning humanity of the consequences of its destructive nuclear policies. He links this crop circle to May 25, 2006, and identifies the comet Schwassmann-Wachman as the subject of higher intelligence communications.

Using NASA simulations of the comet's path, Julien concludes that impact is likely around May 25 precisely when the comet crosses the Earth's ecliptic plane. While the first fragment will cross at approximately 10 million miles, lagging fragments threaten to collide. While astronomers have stated that the comet poses no direct threat, Julien argues that some fragments are too small to observe. Astronomers have predicted possible meteor showers indicating some cometary debris will enter the atmosphere.

Julien argues that the kinetic energy of even a 'car sized' fragment will impact the Earth with devastating effect. He concludes the May 25 event is tied in to the Bush administration's policy of preemptive use of nuclear weapons against Iran, and the effect of nuclear weapons on the realms of higher intelligences. Regarding its importance, Julien declares: "we have to save lives when we have such information to share with the public". He further claims it important "to preserve all data, historical artifacts and precious material in the event of such a collision." Julien predicts that the comet collision will occur in the Atlantic Ocean between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer, and generates 200 meter waves. Julien concludes that "each person with this information has to take responsibility to warn potential victims."

Over de 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3:
Apparition of 2006:
The next predicted perihelion date is 2006 June 7 and the comet will pass 0.0735 AU from Earth on May 13, being only slightly farther away than during the original discovery apparition of 1930.
C. W. Hergenrother (Lunar and Planetary Laboratory) recovered the brightest component, referred to as "C", while using the 1.2-m reflector at Mount Hopkins on 2005 October 22. He gave the magnitude as 19.3 and said the strongly condensed coma was 6 arcsec across.
There was also a fan-shaped tail extending 8 arcsec in PA 300°. Component "B" was found at by J. A. Farrell (Jemez Springs, New Mexico, USA) on 2006 January 6, while using a 41-cm reflector. He gave the magnitude as 18.8-19.0, which was then just over three magnitudes fainter than component "C".
The next component found did not match the prediction for any previously observed component and set the stage for many new discoveries as the comet approached perihelion.
This new component was labelled "G". It was independently found by R. A. Tucker (Tucson, Arizona, USA) on February 20 and 22, and E. J. Christensen on Mt. Lemmon Survey images obtained on February 24.
The magnitude was given as 17.2. Component "H" was discovered by R. Kowalski on March 4. Components "J", "K", and "L" were found by R. E. Hill and Christensen at Mt. Lemmon on March 5. Components "M" and "N" were independently found by P. Birtwhistle (Great Shefford, Berkshire, England) and Chistensen on March 23. Components "P", "Q", "R", and "S" were located at Mt. Lemmon during the period of March 23 to 25.

28/4/06 Brokstukken komeet geen gevaar voor Aarde

De brokstukken van de uiteenvallende komeet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachman 3 vormen geen gevaar voor de Aarde. Dit heeft de NASA laten weten. Omstreeks 13 mei nadert de periodieke komeet de Aarde tot op 11,7 miljoen km, wat naar astronomische begrippen relatief dichtbij is.

De verschijning van de komeet, die om de 5,4 jaar rond de Zon draait, leidde tot opwinding in de wereld van astronomen. Het hemellichaam desintegreert immers, waarbij de Hubble Ruimtetelescoop vaststelde dat met meer dan 36 stuks het aantal fragmenten veel hoger was dan men via observaties op de grond dacht. Tevens verloopt het uiteenvallen hierarchisch gestructureerd: fragmenten vallen in nog kleinere stukjes uiteen. Tientallen minifragmenten vliegen aldus in het zog van de grotere.

Indianenverhalen
Op het internet doken al verhalen op dat brokstukken op de Aarde zouden inslaan. Wat de NASA ertoe aanzette om die indianenverhalen meteen naar de prullenbak te verwijzen en formeel te zeggen dat er geen inslag zal zijn, dat er geen tsunami's zullen ontstaan en dat geen soorten zullen worden uitgeroeid. Veel van de fragmenten gaan nog op minstens acht miljoen km van ons blijven, wat meer dan twintig keer de afstand van de Aarde tot de Maan is, aldus astronomen.

Geen zeldzaamheid
Uiteenvallende kometen zijn geen pure zeldzaamheid. Toch gaan astronomen van de dichte passage gebruik maken om via hun telescopen meer te leren over de oorzaak en de dynamiek van deze en andere komeetsplitsingen, zegt de Volkssterrenwacht Urania in Hove.

Het hemellichaam is in 1930 ontdekt door de Duitsers Arnold Schassmann en Arno Arthur Wachmann. Het werd ondanks zijn korte omlooptijd pas in 1979 opnieuw gezien. Bij een passage in 1985 zag niemand de komeet, zegt de gezaghebbende site space.com. Vanaf 1995 werd vastgesteld dat de staartster desintegreerde.

If the current pace of sky-sweeping surveys is extrapolated into the future, on the order of 10,000 NEOs with some risk of impact over the next 100 years are likely to be cataloged by 2018, Schweickart forecast. The chances are better than even that none of these 10,000 will actually hit Earth in those 100 years.

“The important fact, however, is that a substantial number of them will appear as though they may be headed for impact,” Schweickart advised. Today, of the 104 currently on impact listings, “two have an elevated risk, and we are watching them closely,” he said.

At present, the two asteroids on that “keep an eye on them” roster

“Extrapolating to 2018, we may have as many as 200 in a similarly elevated attention category and of growing concern to the general public,” Schweickart reported Saturday. “Therefore, it is certainly possible, if not likely, that in the time frame of the next 12 years we — the world — may well be in a position where we need to take action to ensure that we will be able to carry out a deflection mission if needed,” he said.

The U.S. Congress amended the Space Act in 2005 to charge NASA with responsibility to “detect, track, catalog and characterize” NEOs wider than 460 feet (140 meters) in diameter. However, thus far Congress has come up short on actually assigning the responsibility to take action, should one of these objects be discovered headed for a collision, Schweickart pointed out.

There is a bit of good news forthcoming, Schweickart explained. Congress did require NASA to provide by the end of 2006 an analysis of possible alternatives that could be employed to divert an object on a likely collision course with Earth. In response to this congressional directive, NASA is about to announce a process for carrying out this mandate.

Update 73P/Schwassmann Wachmann
Het wordt iedere dag steeds spannender rondom de komeet 73P/Schwassmann Wachmann 3. We houden je daarom de komende week op de hoogte van de ontwikkelingen rondom deze komeet met kaartjes, foto's en informatie. Vandaag is het 9 mei en dat betekent dat fragment C is aangekomen bij Cygnus.

Fragment B bevindt zich rond middernacht in de buurt van de ster Vega in het sterrenbeeld de Lier (Lyra). Door recente uitbarstingen is de helderheid van dit fragment de afgelopen dagen verhoogd. Volgens Italiaanse waarnemers is de helderheid nu magnitude 5. Waarschijnlijk breekt de komeet in nog meer stukken uiteen.

Op dit moment racen meer dan 60 fragmenten van de komeet 73P langs de aarde. De topsnelheid is bijna 18.000 kilometer per uur. Er is echter geen kans dat de komeet inslaat. Tussen 12 en 14 mei bevinden de delen van de komeet zich het dichtst bij de aarde. Dan is de afstand nog steeds bijna 10 miljoen kilometer.

Grappig, die graancirkel... dat zou een voorstelling van het zonnestelsel (t/m Mars) op 25 mei zijn? Klopt dus geen zak van.

Kijk nu naar het graancircel plaatje.. En je ziet dus dat Mars op de verkeerde plaats staat...


Klopt dus helemaal niet...
