Giant comet may collide with Earth late October

According to the Russian astronomer Nikolai Fedorovsky, a giant comet flying at top speed is bound for Earth. Should the comet stay on the collision course, it may hit the planet in late October. The impact will cause devastating tsunamis, earthquakes and avalanches, says Fedorovsky. He saw the killer comet in a telescope two weeks ago. He managed to calculate the comet’s trajectory. We got in touch with Nikolai Fedorovsky:

“I’m not trying to scare anybody, I just want to warn the public,” sums up Fedorovsky. “We should pay attention to this suspicious celestial body. We could obtain more accurate calculations if other astronomers join forces. We could also photograph it if we’re in luck. We will probably partake in one of the greatest events in the history of humankind,”

What's 'top speed' for a 'giant comet', anyway?

I dunno about a giant comet but for this one, 85, maybe 90, tops.

Paging Mr Corbin Dallas, pick up the red emergency phone in the lobby...

[Terriergal]

lol!

[Terriergal]

Maybe it could hit Mecca or San Francisco?

Iran or North Korea...?

[Terriergal]

You know, I notice there is no estimate on this thing's size. If he can roughly gauge its arrival, why not the size?

[bwteim]

Will this comet be even bigger and more spectacular than Kohoutek, the Comet of the Century, back in the early 70s?

That was spectacular, really hugh.
....

The hype, I mean.

This comet is travelling at Top Speed, which for a comet is series fast.

no joke. That post made me cancel all of page one of this thread.

"PHA Close Approaches To The Earth: The following table lists the predicted encounters by Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) to within 0.05 AU of the earth from the start of this year through 2178."

I am sure I speak for all by saying, thanks, diverteach, for excluding "Objects with very uncertain orbits"....

Bush's fault. And, may I add, "Women and Minorities Hardest Hit."

And Muslims are offended....

>>giant comet flying at top speed<<

That's really fast, isn't it?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Great. I was just thinking last night how a comet hasn't been seen in number of years...

[DemforBush]

Now yer talkin! :)

So next week, it's "BAT BOY DIRECTS ASTEROIDS IN ATTACK ON EARTH?"

...with Elvis giving him the instructions!

:-)

[Enchante]

Wow, I guess I won't bother paying my bills this month..... I'll wait a few weeks to see whether life on earth still exists before I give any more money to those credit card companies!!

I went to one of those sites where you can download little video clips. That commercial was there. The site owner made the annotation that he didn't know if the clip was "real" or not. LOL!

[FlingWingFlyer]

It figures to be quite warm at the point of impact.

LOL!
