Reggie29 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Named after a Taiwanese observatory, the comet will be closest to Earth on Tuesday 24/02/09 at 4.00am AEST. About a third of the way up in the Northern skies of Australia in the constellation of Virgo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I just saw a thing on the history channel yesterday, where they will be able to use a rocketed hydrogen bomb to propel any large asteroids headed toward earth. Or they can land a rocket on the asteroid and propel it off that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 ^ I likethe two NASA astronauts who are developing a towing design of using solar wind to shift their trajectury before they become too close. I think exploding an object the size of Rhode Island within our immediate outer space is a real stupid idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
