Asteroids

ASTEROIDS - also called minor planet, or planetoid, any of a host of small rocky bodies, about 1,000 km or less in diameter, that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is because of their small size and large numbers relative to the nine major planets that asteroids are also called minor planets. The two designations are frequently used interchangeably, though dynamicists, astronomers who study individual objects with dynamically interesting orbits or groups of objects with similar orbital characteristics, generally use the term minor planet, whereas those who study the physical properties of such objects usually refer to them as asteroids.

What is an Asteroid ?

ASTEROIDS - also called minor planet, or planetoids, any of a host of small rocky bodies, about 1,000 km or less in diameter, that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. 1950 DA - 2002 NT7 - An Asteroid, could be 30 centimeters across, or it could 300 kilometers across. It is just a lump of rock that floats about in space in or around our solar system, though no doubt there have been many a lump or two, that have drifted in from some far away galaxy.

An Asteroid, could be 30 centimetres across, or it could 300 kilometres across. It is just a lump of rock that floats about in space in or around our solar system, though no doubt there have been many a lump or two, that have drifted in from some far away galaxy.

Just imagine, it is a possibility that the last shooting-star you saw, could have come from some astral explosion, that happed countless Billions of years ago, from a system 30 Billion light years away. And it was just a piece of debris, maybe only 30 centimetres across weighing only a few kilos, and it ended its journey, that took almost infinity and you were the only person to see it crash into our atmosphere, after all that time.

Asteroid 1950 DA, was the first piece of rogue rock orbiting within our Sun's grasp, that we as a species noticed could one day, all most definitely, destroy all species on Earth.

NASA, have calculated that Asteroid 1950 DA will undoubtedly hit Earth on Saturday, March 16, 2880. The counter above counts the days left before the Earth goes into an era that might not include Humankind.

Astronomers have found another rocky planet that is remarkably like Earth. In the scheme of things it is quite close, only 15 light years, and is being called 'Earth's Bigger Cousin', being six times bigger than our home. It has a similar atmosphere, and  it is covered in dense steamy lakes.

The Hubble Telescope has discovered heavenly bodies up to 15 Billion light years away, so 15 light years, or just over 90,000,000,000,000 is just a bus ride. It orbits a Red Star and surface temperatures are around 300 degrees Celsius, so most of Earth life would struggle to survive. It is like Earth because it is made of Rock, instead of the usual dense gas.

Reported on the 1st February 2001 - 

" Blade smog to choke us ".  

Eminent scientists calculate  that poisonous smog will choke the northern hemisphere by 2100. The WARNING had been buried in a SECRET UN Report. Experts predict that half the world will be like the smoky-hell in the famous movie Blade-Runner. Ozone levels will triple and destroy rainforests, speeding the Global Ending Syndrome; deaths will soar for people who have to breathe.

ASTEROID TO HIT EARTH

 

This is a moon or satellite, within our solar system, that has been battered by asteroids over millions of years. Look at the one particular event site.

"In the unlikely event the asteroid had struck Earth in a populated area, it would have caused considerable loss of life," said Grant Stokes, the principal investigator for the Lincoln Laboratory Near Earth Asteroid Research Project, whose New Mexico observatory spotted the object. "The energy release would be of the magnitude of a large nuclear weapon."

Another scientist, Brian Marsden of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said: "It was a close shave."

Marsden, whose organization gathers information on all such encounters, called it "the only object of this size known to have come closer to the Earth than the moon in decades."

The asteroid, provisionally named 2002 MN, was traveling at more than 23,000 mph (38,000 kph) when it was spotted, Stokes said in a telephone interview. It was not detected until three days after it came close to the Earth on June 14. When such asteroids are detected, they are usually spotted when they are approaching or departing Earth.

With a diameter of between 50 and 120 meters (yards), the asteroid was about the size of a soccer field, which tend to be about 105 meters (yards) by 75 meters (yards), Stokes said. The size of asteroids is estimated by measuring their brightness, without knowing their composition.

Although lightweight compared with some asteroids, 2002 MN was big enough to have caused local devastation similar to the impact of one in Siberia in 1908. On that occasion, an asteroid that exploded above Tunguska flattened 2,000 square kilometers (1,240 miles) of forest. The asteroid's air blast was believed to have done the damage, since no crater was found.

In general, damage on the ground depends on what an asteroid is made of, varying from solid metal to a loosely bound aggregate.

"Looking statistically at the asteroid population, maybe 50 times a year a 100-meter-class asteroid passes within a lunar distance of Earth," Stokes said. "But only a handful of such asteroids that have penetrated the Moon's orbit have been spotted by asteroid search programs."

Dr. Benny Peiser, an expert on near earth objects, or NEOs, at Liverpool John Moore's University in England, said: "Whilst the vast majority of NEOs discovered do not come this close, such near misses do highlight the importance of detecting these objects. This reminder comes in a week when the U.K. telescopes on (the Spanish island of) La Palma are being tested to search for NEOs."

Currently, there is no dedicated program searching for NEOs of 2002 MN's size, and the American space agency NASA ( news - web sites) concentrates its efforts on bodies bigger than one kilometer (.62 of a mile) across.

"NASA has a goal of discovering and obtaining good orbits for all the near earth objects with diameters larger than 1 kilometer," said Thomas Morgan, a scientist at NASA headquarters in Washington. "Asteroids of this size could potentially destroy civilization as we know it."

Asked about the discovery of the smaller 2000 MN asteroid, Stokes said: "We're delighted to have found this object. ... We know objects in this class are not generally detected."

He also said, "It's something the public should know about, but shouldn't get nervous about."

Asteroids of that size are estimated to hit the Earth every 100 to several hundred years, causing local damage, but no disaster to civilization or the planet's ecosystem, Stokes said.

"Civilization has to get used to them on some level," he said, adding that larger ones that NASA is trying to detect and monitor could theoretically hit Earth every million years, or at longer intervals.

  WHAT IS AN ASTEROID          

Whilst any asteroid hitting Earth is unlikely, it is only unlikely by virtue of time. At some TIME in the future it is almost 99.9% certain that an asteroid or comet or some other heavenly body WILL definitely hit the Earth, in a time to come.

ASTEROIDS - also called minor planet, or planetoids, any of a host of small rocky bodies, about 1,000 km or less in diameter, that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. 1950 DA - 2002 NT7 - An Asteroid, could be 30 centimeters across, or it could 300 kilometers across. It is just a lump of rock that floats about in space in or around our solar system, though no doubt there have been many a lump or two, that have drifted in from some far away galaxy.

Back In Time

When you look up at the stars, you look back in time; for what you are seeing happened in a time gone by. When you look at our very own star the Sun, you are looking at what was happening on the Sun around eight and a half minutes ago. The next nearest star to us is four light years away, so when we look at this, it is how the star looked four years in the past.

Technology races forward nearly as fast as light these days, and professional star-gazers can look back in time to over twelve billions years. They have found fully grown galaxies, that contain 250,000,000,000 stars not unlike our very own life giver. This makes them several times bigger than our galaxy. Light from these huge celestial bodies had traveled for billions of years before we ever existed. Since the Big Bang it has been over 14,000,000,000 years and people argue that there was most probably something before that, just as important. 

But consider this; infinity is what it is:

Infinity, a noun

  1 being infinite; boundlessness. 

2 infinite number or extent. 

3 infinite distance (gaze into infinity). 

4 Math. infinite quantity.

Infinity, in mathematics, a quantity larger than any that can be specified. The symbols +? and –? are read as “plus infinity” and “minus infinity” respectively. They indicate infinitely large positive and negative values.

Infinity, is endless without end, in every direction, so take those huge galaxies place them end to end and multiply by a billion billion and you would describe something only the size of a grain of sand in the scheme of things. It is that big.

Lucifer - In Christian tradition, the leader of the angels expelled from heaven for rebelling against God. Known thereafter as Satan (Hebrew: adversary) or the Devil, he presides over the souls condemned to torment in Hell. He is identified with the serpent that tempted Eve (Genesis 3.1–6) and the great red dragon cast out of heaven by Michael (Revelation 12.3–9). The exact nature of Lucifer’s sin was much debated; the commonest view is that his sin was pride.

Sahara desert Facts - The Sahara Desert is a great desert area, North Africa, the West portion of the broad belt of parched land that extends from the Atlantic Ocean eastward past the Red Sea to Iraq. The entire desert, the largest in the world, is about 1600 km wide and about 5000 km long from East to West. Three thousand acres of life-giving plants are still eaten away by some circumstance every hour of every day. That is FIVE ACRES at every sweep of this clock. - CAN YOU HELP? Greenhouse Effect - An effect occurring in the atmosphere because of the presence of certain gases - Greenhouse Gases - water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide, that absorb infrared radiation. Short-Wave Light and ultraviolet radiation from the sun are able to penetrate the atmosphere and warm the earth’s surface. This energy is re-radiated as infrared radiation, which, because of its longer wavelength, is absorbed by such substances as carbon dioxide, instead of passing through. The overall effect is that the average temperature of the earth and its atmosphere is increasing - the so-called Global Warming or ultimately the Global Ending Syndrome. Forest Land - Forest covered with trees and undergrowth. Over 20% of the Earth's land-surface is forest, providing valuable oxygen, timber, and habitats for wildlife. Northern coniferous forests consist largely of pine, spruce, and firs. Anthrax is principally a disease of domesticated and wild mammals, particularly herbivorous animals, such as cattle, sheep, horses, mules, and goats. Humans become infected almost incidentally when brought into contact with diseased animals, which can include their flesh, bones, hides, hair and excrement, or anywhere the germ may be lurking.
The Taliban - Persian Tālebān - Students. Also spelled Taleban. An ultra conservative political and religious faction that emerged in Afghanistan in the mid 1990s following the withdrawal of Soviet troops, the collapse of Afghanistan's communist regime, and the subsequent breakdown in civil order. The faction took its name from its membership, which consisted largely of students trained in Madrasah's Islamic religious schools, that were established for Afghan refugees in the1980s in northern Pakistan World Trade Center - A complex of several buildings around a central plaza in New York City that in 2001 was the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. The complex—located at the southwestern tip of Manhattan, near the shore of the Hudson River and a few blocks northwest of Wall Street—was built by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a central facility for businesses and government agencies involved in international trade. Until the 2001 attack, it was notable for its huge twin towers, each of which had 110 stories. The roof of One World Trade Center reached to 1,368 feet (417 meters), and Two World Trade Center was 1,362 feet (415 meters) tall. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki and officially opened in 1972, the towers were the world's tallest buildings until surpassed in 1973 by the Sears Tower in Chicago. (See Researcher's Note: Heights of Buildings.) Each of the twin towers had 97 passenger elevators, 21,800 windows, and roughly an acre (0.4 hectare) of rentable space per floor. An observation deck was situated on the 107th floor of the south tower (Two World Trade Center), and a television-broadcasting mast 360 feet (110 meters) high was attached to the north tower (One World Trade Center). THE TAKERS TEST - Every minute of every day millions of people make a hot drink for themselves. Whether it is Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate, invariably the process needs WATER and some ENERGY source. Put up your hand, if you did not know this, and also that the planet's WATER and ENERGY sources are dwindling NEW ICE-AGE BY 2080 - READ IT HERE ! !
TERMITES - any of the cellulose-eating social insects that constitute the order Isoptera. Cellulose in this case refers to wood. Termites have for millions of years been eating the majority of fallen trees, dead trees and rotting trees, from all around the world. It is said that the world would be totally covered in a ten meter pile of rotting timber, if it was not for the Termite. BEDBUG - Any member of the approximately 75 species of nocturnal insects of the family Cimicidae - order Heteroptera, that feed by sucking the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. The reddish brown, or mahogany adult is broad and flat. It is only 4 to 5 mm, less than 0.2 inch long. The greatly withered, scaly vestigial wings are inconspicuous and non-functioning. You know they are about, when you see you have mysterious bite marks - small red dots. You can also see small telltale black marks, on sheets and mattresses. Bedbugs also have a distinctive oily odor, that results from a secretion of scent from their stink glands. MITES - Any of about 20,000 species of tiny arthropod invertebrates belonging to the subclass Acari - sometimes Acarina, or Acarida, of the class Arachnida. Mites live in varied habitats: in brackish water, in fresh water, in hot springs, in soil, on plants, and as parasites on and in animals. Parasitic forms may live in the nasal passages, lungs, stomach, or deeper body tissues of animals. Some mites are carriers of human and animal diseases. Plant-feeding mites cause damage by feeding on leaf tissues or by transmitting viral diseases. Mites are small, often microscopic in size—the smallest being about 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) in length and the largest being about 6 mm (0.25 inch)—and they usually have four pairs of legs. In general, they breathe by means of tracheae, or air tubes; in many species, however, respiration takes place through the skin Mosquito - A small flying biting insect that could be described as a type of Fly. It lives worldwide, especially in the tropics. It has long legs and a slender abdomen, Culex Forma. In most species the males feed on plant juices or nectar. The females puncture the skin with a long proboscis, to suck the blood of mammals, quite often transmitting serious diseases, including Malaria, Dengue Fever, Encephalitis and Yellow Fever. The mosquito is not strictly a parasite.
THE LOUSE - also called the Body Louse -Pediculus Humanus, one of the most common sucking lice, found wherever human beings live. There are two sub-species of the common human louse: Pediculus Humanus Capitis, the Head Louse, and P. Humanus Humanus, the body louse, or cootie. The body louse is an important carrier of epidemic typhus; other louse-borne human diseases are trench fever and relapsing fever Fleas have been around for millions of years - a fossilized flea found in Australia is said to be 200 million years old. It does not differ significantly from today's fleas. Different species can be found from the Arctic Circle to the Arabian deserts - even penguins have fleas which counteract the cold by ensuring that their growth into adulthood coincides with the time when penguins are sitting firmly on their eggs, thereby keeping both fleas and their young in a warm environment!

MALARIA - A serious, acute and chronic relapsing infection in humans, characterized by periodic attacks of chills and fever, anemia, enlargement of the spleen - splenomegaly, and often fatal complications. Malaria also is found in apes, monkeys, rats, birds, and reptiles. It is caused by various species of protozoa, a one-celled organism - called Sporozoans, that belong to the genus Plasmodium. These parasites are transmitted to humans by the bite of various species of mosquitoes belonging to the genus Anopheles .

 The June Bug - Cotinus Nitida - Linnaeus - Really a Flying Beetle - " I'm coming to get you!! " - Cotinus Nitida - The June Bug, also called May Beetle, or July Bug - Any insect of the genus Phyllophaga, belonging to the widely distributed, plant-feeding subfamily Melolonthinae - family Scarabaeidae, order Coleoptera. These red-brown / green or even orange beetles commonly appear in the Northern Hemisphere during warm spring evenings and are attracted to lights. The heavy-bodied June beetles vary from 12 to 25 mm - 0.5 to 1 inch, and have shiny wing covers (elytra). They feed on foliage and flowers at night, sometimes causing considerable damage. June beetle larvae, called white grubs, are about 25 mm long and live in the soil. They can destroy crops, like, corn [maize], small grains, potatoes, strawberries, and they can kill lawns and pastures by severing the grasses from the roots.
TICK - A widely distributed parasitic arachnid - related to Spiders and Scorpions, that sucks the blood of mammals, reptiles and birds, and may transmit such diseases as Typhus, Lymes Disease and Relapsing Fever. Its round body can be as small as a millimeter, or up to 30 mm long, with eight bristly legs. After feeding, the adults drop off the host and lay eggs on the ground. The larvae attach themselves to a suitable victim, feed, then drop off and molt into nymphs, which repeat the procedure. They have been compared to being similar to the Mite. An insect is a six legged creature, but all of this sized organisms once came from the same ancestor. Meningitis is an infection of the clear plasma-like fluid of a person's spinal cord and the same fluid that surrounds the brain. Meningitis is sometimes referred to as Spinal Meningitis. Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection; itis mean inflammation, so the infection causes an inflammation of these areas. MRSA - PLEASE NOTE THAT MRSA IS NOT A DISEASE. IT IS THE NAME OF A BACTERIA THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE AN ANTIBODY THAT CAN KILL IT. IF ALLOWED INTO THE BODY OF A MAMMAL, IT CAN BRING ON MANY PROBLEMS AND CONDITIONS. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE ALTERNATE NAMES AND SOMETIMES MRSA IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED. PREVIOUS TO THE MRSA STRAIN THESE CONDITIONS WERE CLEARED UP QUITE EASILY WITH PENICILLIN ETC. BUT NOT ANYMORE. READ ON! Asthma is not a new phenomenon, as its recent insurgence would suggest. - Asthma-like symptoms were first recorded around 3500 years ago in an Egyptian manuscript called the Ebers Papyrus. And a word with similar roots as Asthma was also seen in Homer's Iliad. The word comes from the Greek and means Labored Breathing. The word Asthma was first used to describe an illness 500 years later by the famous Greek physician, and father of Medicine, Hippocrates. The Romans also recorded this condition and used various remedies to try and cure it.
SMELLY FEET - Most of the body sweats to keep us cool, and help remove some waste products from the body. Every square cm of the sole of the foot and the palms of your hands have about over 500 sweat pores, totalling 250,000 little holes, that is more than other part of the body, even more that under the arm-pits. Allergy - An abnormal reaction by the body to certain substances, including pollen, dust, certain foods and drugs, fur, moulds, etc. Normally all foreign substances (antigens) entering the body are destroyed by antibodies. Allergic people, however, become hypersensitive to certain antigens (called allergens), so that whenever they are encountered in future they stimulate not only the normal antibody reaction but also the abnormal symptoms of the allergy, such as sneezing and skin rashes. Allergic conditions include hay fever, some forms of asthma and dermatitis, and urticaria. Treatment includes the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids and desensitization. CLONE - also spelled clon population of genetically identical cells or organisms that are derived originally from a single original cell or organism by asexual methods. Cloning is fundamental to most living things, since the body cells of plants and animals are clones ultimately derived from the mitosis of a single fertilized egg. More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it. STD's - These bacterial and viral infections are related to sex, but of course have historically been associated with oral-sex and the vagina. In most all cases though they can cause some form of bodily infection and are transmitted through some form of sex. HIV/ AIDS is also listed below. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) can often be transmitted even though both partners firmly believe they are infection free. The incubation period of a disease, is the period of time between infection and the appearance of symptoms. So during the incubation period, partners can transfer a virus or bacteria without even knowing.
Hay fever An allergy to pollen, which leads to sneezing, a streaming nose, and inflamed eyes. Treatment involves taking antihistamines or, in severe cases, steroids. - ALLERGIES - hypersensitive reaction by the body to foreign substances - antigens, that in similar amounts and circumstances are harmless within the bodies of other people. Worms, some say, have been around in one form or shape for about 600 million years. We actually share some DNA with all worms. There are perhaps up to 35,000 different types of these legless invertebrates, that we call worms. Some scurry about on the surface of the land, some live just beneath, whilst others bury themselves deep into the Earth's surface. Many live in the sea, and some have been found deep down on the bottom. Some are so small you cannot see them with the naked-eye, others are so big, they could be snakes. An Earthworm can live for ten years, living and eating in our gardens. They have no eyes, or ears and never sleep. Pound for pound, as they are made of mostly muscle they can be 1,000 times stronger than the strongest man, so next time you call a person a worm, think. Clostridium Difficile, is now recognized as the chief cause of HAI - Diarrhea in the US and Europe, and not only in hospitals but also in nursing homes and other facilities for long term care. Initial recognition of this disease began in the 1970s, with reports of a serious, sometimes lethal colitis, characterized by the formation of pseudo-membranous plaques. The cause was identified as Clostridium Difficile in 1978.  STARVING WORLD OF FAMINE - But something can be done; something that would not only help millions of Africa's starving impoverished citizens; not only help facilitate a world financial resurgence but also create a new global environment that might save humanity. It would cost nothing. 
The human papilloma virus - HPV, causes several different types of warts, which are the most common type of skin infection. In some cases, the HPV virus dies within 1 or 2 years, and warts simply disappear. Verrucas, also called Warts, well-defined small growth of varying shape on the skin surface, caused by a virus. The wart is composed of an abnormal proliferation of cells of the epidermis; the overproduction of these cells is caused by the viral infection. The most common type of wart is a round, raised lesion having a dry and rough surface; flat or threadlike lesions are also seen. Warts are usually painless, except for those in pressure areas, such as the plantar warts, or Verrucas, that occur on the sole of the foot. They may occur as isolated lesions or grow profusely, especially in moist regions of the body surface. TRAINING YOUR BIG DOG - How To Train Your Big Dog LISTEN TO VIRGIN RADIO UK - CLICK HERE Huntington's Disease is due to a dominant and faulty genetic disorder on chromosome 4.  The consequence of the fault with this gene starts around or just before middle age,  and leads to a gradual physical, mental and emotional change in its victim.

As the condition advances, it becomes more difficult for the patient to walk and speak. Memory and intellectual functions continue to decline, until the end. By far of the majority of patients are placed in hospices for special care.
Acne can affect people from ages 9 through to middle-age. Acne can show up as any of the following; congested pores, whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, pustules, or cysts - deep pimples, spots.

PILES - Hemroids and their symptoms are one of the most common afflictions in the Western world. In fact, hemroids can occur at any age and can affect both women and men. Because the presence of hemorrhoidal tissue is normal - it acts as a compressible lining which allows the anus to close completely. Unfortunately, hemroids tend to get worse over time, and disease should be treated as soon as it occurs. ANTS - any member of the approximately 8,000 species of the insect family Formicidae - order Hymenoptera. Ants occur worldwide but are especially common in hot climates. All ants are social in habit; i.e., they live together in organized colonies, and they range in size from 2 to about 25 millimeters, about 0.08 to 1 inch. Their color is usually yellow, brown, red, or black. A few genera, e.g., Pheidole of North America, have a metallic luster.SMELLY FEET - Most of the body sweats to keep us cool, and help remove some waste products from the body. Every square cm of the sole of the foot and the palms of your hands have about over 500 sweat pores, totalling 250,000 little holes, that is more than other part of the body, even more that under the arm-pits.
Rabies A virus infection of the brain that can affect all warm-blooded animals and may be transmitted to man through the bite of an infected animal (usually a dog). Symptoms, which appear after a period of from ten days to two years, include painful spasms of the throat. Later, the sight of water can induce convulsions (hence the alternative name—hydrophobia, “fear of water”) and the patient eventually dies. Antirabies vaccine and antiserum given immediately after being bitten may prevent the infection from developing. The UK has strict quarantine regulations for imported domestic animals to prevent the disease from reaching Britain. COCKROACHES - Dictyoptera - An order of insects comprising the cockroaches - suborder Blattaria) and the mantids - suborder Mantodea, occurring mainly in tropical regions. Cockroaches are oval and flattened in shape; some have a single well-developed pair of wings, folded back over the abdomen at rest, while in others the wings may be reduced or absent. They are usually found in forest litter, feeding on dead organic matter, but some species, e.g. the American cockroach - Periplaneta Americana, are major household pests, scavenging on starchy foods, fruits, etc. In most species the females produce capsules - the (oothecae containing 16 - 40 eggs. These are either deposited or carried by the female during incubation.
