MSN and their long links, Geez :rolleyes:

cool...think it will come back by dec 21, 2012?

Do a search for the Near Earth Object Program. You will be suprised how many come that close.

So long as we have Harry Stamper around the world is safe

According to the article, one this big only comes this close once every 25 years. Kind of a shame it won't be viewable without really expensive equipment.

Why, do you want to be able to see our death coming for us? :noid

Talk about BnZ... :aok
Earth, break break! Ok he's off. Watch him, might be coming back.
:D

Thank you posting that. Set my calander alarm on. Kewl :cool:

Speaking of Astroids. I read and interesting article about a meteor that landed in the ocean in 1990 (forgot what ocean it was). The interesting part about this event is that if that metor had not landed for another 19 hours along the same longitude line, it would have landed right on the same spot where coalition troops where station in preparing for The Persian Gulf War. The impact what calculated to have the explosion of around Hiroshima bomb. It would have been hard to detrmined how the outcome would have been if that had happen other than the worst case scenario of a world nuclear war. :O

I am pretty sure that we would have known that is was a meteor and not a nuke. Especially since you would be able to see it re-enter from angles not in range of the blast radius.

Well there's that and the fact that there won't be any/ very much radiation from a meteor strike.

Yea, but you know how some people will qickly jump into conclusion with out thinking.
-
Yeah, but who would we retaliate against? Everyone?
Wouldn't mind going out if I took my enemies with me, but not if theres the chance I might have taken out some innocent bystander instead of the guy who hit me first.
-
Not sure if anyone has seen this, but it's pretty cool... what effect would happen if....

Possible impact site?

newberry crater? :O
-
Nope, newberry is just a little bit north of it though. Thats Crater Lake to SW.
It's not on the list of known impact sites. If I remember right when I measured it using the google earth tool it's about 27 miles across. Next time I'm over that way I'm going to ask around.
-
old wise tale is that a very large volcano occurred in that area a looong time ago. a mountain as big as everest blew its top. when i was told the size of the mountain i was shocked. It was something like the area of north klamath county.
-
Well...Crater Lake (Mt Mazama) blew it's top. Something like 10 or 11 thousand years ago. And there is an ancient caldera, a couple million or so years old, in south eastern Oregon, that was caused by the hot spot that's under Yellowstone now. This is neither of those. If you look at ancient super volcano calderas, they look nothing like this. If you look at known impact sites, they look a lot like this. I'm not saying it is an impact site. Maybe vegetation on the ground in this photo is giving it the round shape. Although the feature on the NW side is called something or other Rim. ( I can't remember the name right now) I did look around on the internet and such and found no reference about this thing. I can't believe no one has noticed it before.
-
Looks like multiple impact craters side to side (and smaller impact craters). Something caused the circular growth of the vegetation, and circular
depression next to it. Bet that body of water SW is also a small one.

Well I did some more research and both circular areas and much of the SE quarter of the state are included in what is called the Rift Volcanoes. (12 to 2 million years ago) These volcanoes, some 790 of them, are apparently linked to the Yellowstone Hotspot. According to the couple of paragraphs I could find they are a result of the aftermath of the hotspot. Even though it traveled through the very SE tip of the state. (or more correctly the state traveled across it) The hotspot is also blamed for some giant basaltic eruptions in the Columbia river basin way up north.
Still looks like an impact to me.
Oh well I'm no geologist.
Sorry about the hijack.
:cheers:
p.s. Oz, that is Crater Lake Nat'l Park. A volcano that blew its top, then filled with water. Absolutely awesome place!
