THE CLOSEST & BIGGEST ASTEROID-FLYBYS Of 2022 - Jul 10, 2022
Since World Asteroid Day (June 30th), fascination is mixing with fear
when considering the latest and upcoming asteroid flybys.
As Statista's Katharina Buchholz details below, according to NASA's
Center for Near Earth Object Studies, some massive chunks have already
passed by a little too close for comfort this year, including the
asteroid named 1989 JA on May 27, 2001 CB21 on March 4 and 1994 PC1 on
January 18.
As asteroid's diameters are normally labeled as ranges, all of these
celestial objects have a maximum possible expanse of more than 1,000
meters (0.6 miles), in the case of 1989 JA almost double that at 1,800
meters (1.1 miles). Because of its size, 1989 JA was already discovered
in 1989 - as denoted in its name. In recent years, scientists have been
discovering more and more so-called Near Earth Asteroids, including many
smaller ones.

'UNPRECEDENTED': SHOCKWAVE & 'HUGE ROAR' REPORTED IN GRAN CANARIA WAS
METEORITE - 01 Dec 2022
First, it ripped the sky over La Palma, La Gomera and Tenerife at great
speed, like lightning that emitted colours with
shades of green and red, to then cause such a
roar over Gran Canaria that it was heard from many areas of the island
before, finally, crashing in the sea, causing astonishment among the
islanders who, at first, didn't know what it was.
Scientists have confirmed that it was a meteorite which, although it is
not the first to fall in the Archipelago, there are no precedents for
what happened yesterday, as it was accompanied by tremors.
Fortunately, the Emergency Services announced that there is no record
that it caused injuries or material damage.
The incident occurred yesterday (Wednesday) just after 3pm, although the
exact time of the impact recorded by the measurement systems installed by
Involcan and the National Geographic Institute (IGN) recorded various
readings between 3:16pm and 4:35pm.
The first alert the Emergency Services received came from the province of
Tenerife, due to reports of a very fast green and
red object in the sky.
But what really triggered all the alerts occurred immediately
afterwards, when a huge roar was heard over Gran Canaria that
residents of municipalities across the island including Agaete, San
Bartolome de Tirajana, Santa Brígida and Las Palmas demanded, with some
concern, information about the noise and tremors.

METEOROID HIT SUSPECTED AFTER MAJOR LEAK REPORTED ON SOYUZ SPACE
CAPSULE - 15 Dec 2022
A major leak from a Russian capsule docked on the International Space
Station was most likely caused when a small meteoroid smashed into a
radiator, leading to coolant being sprayed into space, a Roscosmos
official has said.
Sergei Krikalev, a former cosmonaut who is now director of crewed space
flight programs at Russia's space corporation, said Thursday's leak from
the Soyuz MS-22 could affect the capsule's overall coolant system
but that there was "no threat for the crew" of the space station.
The leak had prompted a pair of cosmonauts to abort a planned
spacewalk earlier in the day. It also raises concerns as to whether the
capsule will be able to safely return to Earth next spring as planned
with two cosmonauts and a Nasa astronaut, or if an emergency replacement
vehicle will have to be sent up.

DAZZLING METEOR FIREBALL ILLUMINATES NIGHT SKY AND FALLS ONTO VILLAGE IN
CHINA - 17 Dec 2022
This video, which was filmed yesterday (December 15), shows a meteorite
illuminating the night sky and falling on the ground like a "fireball" in
Jinhua, Zhejiang province. No injury was reported.
The fireball seen from a dash cam video crossed the sky for just a few
seconds and fell far away while burning, with a brightness that was
brighter than a full moon. Some unburned meteorite fragments were found
in Chengtou Village, Pujiang County, Jinhua.
The crater, about 8 centimeters in diameter, was later found on the
concrete floor at the gate of a farmer's house in the village.
It is understood that the meteor was too big to be burnt up at high
altitude so it then entered the Earth's atmosphere, producing dazzling
light. Zhang Baolin, a senior meteorite expert at the Beijing Planetarium
and a science expert at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said to the
local media that the meteorite probably came from the asteroid belt
between Jupiter and Mars.
Zheng Yongchun, deputy director of the Space Science Communication Expert
Studio and a science expert, made a preliminary judgment after seeing the
meteorite fragment that the meteorite is 4.6 billion years old, older
than all the rocks on Earth. The video was provided by local media with
permission.
The meteorite found measured 8 centimeters in length and weighed 1.7 kilograms.

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN BELGOROD RUSSIA . . . STRANGE GLOW FROM SKY
- Oct 04, 2022
UPDATE 8:29 PM EDT --
The source and purpose of these "strange lights" has been identified:
Russia's PERESVET Laser Anti-Satellite System.
The military nature of the lighting became evident when the same light
pattern hit the skies in Moscow, Murmansk, and Omsk, Russia as the world
was paying attention to the lights in Belgorad.
These laser systems are "anti-satellite" insofar as they can "dazzle" any
recon satellite orbiting within 1500 kilometers of earth!
By "Dazzle" we mean "Temporarily blind" the satellite, making it
impossible for the satellite to "see" anything on the ground for tens-of-
miles in all directions of its typical fly-by.
At this hour, I am told that with the area covered by the light emissions
from Belgorad, Omsk, Moscow, and Murmansk, US/NATO surveillance
satellites NOW CANNOT SEE A FULL FIFTY PERCENT OF RUSSIAN NUCLEAR MISSILE
SILOS.
One source, in a position to know, told me "We can't see if the missile
silo hatches are open." He also told me "In vast swaths of Russia right
now, we cannot see what is happening on the ground, or more importantly,
what is moving and where, on the ground. For instance, we can no longer
see if Tactical nuclear weapons are being pulled out of storage."

NASA WARNS ASTEROID COULD STRIKE EARTH IN 2023 CAUSING 'DEVASTATING LOSS
OF LIFE' - Nov 17, 2022
NASA has warned that a massive asteroid looks set to collide with Earth
next year, and due to the asteroid's large size and high speed, Earth's
atmosphere may be unable to stop the space rock from causing an impact
event.
NASA asteroid trackers have dubbed the potentially fatal asteroid as 2005
ED224 and have listed it in their Sentry Earth impact monitoring
database.
Based on NASAs calculations relating to 2005 ED224's orbit and
trajectory, the system detected a total of five potential Earth impacts
caused by the asteroid.
According to Sentry, the asteroid's earliest possible impact could
occur on March 11, 2023. Usually, asteroids the size of 2005 ED224
incinerate or explode shortly upon entering Earth's atmosphere.
However, if 2005 ED224 is able to maintain its incredible speed, the
asteroid has the potential to successfully go through the atmosphere and
cause an impact event on the ground.
If this kind of event takes place, the asteroid would create a crater
almost 1,000 meters wide. The resulting level of energy released from the
asteroid's impact would be powerful enough to destroy a large area such
as a town or small city.

'Alien' Minerals Found On 15-Ton Meteorite That Crashed In Africa -
Nov 30, 2022
A team of researchers from the University of Alberta discovered at least
two new minerals never before seen on Earth in a 15-ton meteorite that
landed in east Africa.
Unearthed in Somalia in 2020, the meteorite is the ninth largest ever
found. When researchers sliced off a two-ounce section of the space rock,
they found two new minerals named "elaliite" and "elkinstantonite."
Details about the minerals remain limited.
"Whenever you find a new mineral, it means that the actual geological
conditions, the chemistry of the rock, was different than what's been
found before.
"That's what makes this exciting: In this particular meteorite you have
two officially described minerals that are new to science," Chris Herd, a
professor in the Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences and curator
of the University of Alberta's Meteorite Collection, said in a press
release
