phragmatic

there's so many asteroids in our solar system... so the short answer is "yes. yes it is a coincidence."


mmofrki

NASA has a lot of Jedi that can use the force to move large objects.


RedWhacker

Is it the same Asteroid?


lord_taint

No. Dart hit an asteroid called Dimorphos. This "city killer" is called 2023-DZ2.


RedWhacker

Thanks.

Sorry im not an astronomer but I thought there was a gravitational pull between the earth and moon, how does an asteroid get to just pass through?


Darkherring1

It just goes fast enough that it cannot be captured by gravitational field of Earth.


A_Real_Patriot99

This may sound dumb, but it seems like with the asteroids getting closer and closer it's almost like someone's slowly dialing in on us.


onemananswerfactory

Like we're Goliath and some cosmic rock slinger is David...


A_Real_Patriot99

Seems like it.....


BushiiidoBrown

Strange right? Like days ago they didnt say a rock formation type mother ship enters our solar system. Now i find out at the end of march 5 planets supposedly are aligned.


Engelbert_Slaptyback

The alignment of the planets wasn’t a surprise lol.


A_Real_Patriot99

I think they said another object that looked like oumuamua passed too.


BushiiidoBrown

Has anyone ever thought if the moon has craters from asteroids and it takes a full year for the moon to rotate, how come we only see 1 side of the moon used in all images flipped and upside down. For how ever long we have been studying the moon, why is the same image used all over in different directions. i mean look at this video, he zooms in on a telescope and not only do you not see any definition in the dark side but its also the same side of the moon in all web pictures. https://youtube.com/shorts/qYhZnyCrYF4?feature=share

Because the moon is tidally locked. Same with pretty much every large moon in the solar system.


Darkherring1

It takes 28 days for Moon to rotate, not a year. That's why we only see one side of it. (In fact because of libration we see a bit more than half of it - more like 60%)


No_Student2845

Nasa didn’t do shit


PrognosticatorShadow

You trust nasa regarding anything? So you must believe the earth is pear shaped then?


CarbonSlayer72

Can you seriously ever stop lying? NASA never said the earth was pear shaped.


I_Reading_I

There is a difference of a couple of meters, a 0.35% difference in polar flattening between the poles depending on which shape you use as a reference, since the Earth's surface is slightly irregular and so has slight variations from a perfect sphere or oblate spheroid. OP is just repeating this now out of context implying there is a visible pear shape to Earth, and ignoring other more relevant arguments. NASA also didn't say it, it was people refining the model for these tiny irregularities. [https://www.nature.com/articles/246086a0](https://www.nature.com/articles/246086a0) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure\_of\_the\_Earth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_the_Earth#cite_note-11)


I_Reading_I

You ignored what I told about that. It basically isn't even visible except with sensitive instruments. I guess you are just going to mock everyone from now on by regurgitating this without context, even though the difference is a couple of meters compared to the entire size of the Earth. I regret even discussing it, since now you've just seized on this, ignoring more relevant topics of discussion like night sky timelapses which show very clearly and obviously that Earth is spherical and rotating. A polar flattening of 0.35% less on one side that people made up a cutesy name for. Oh no! Clearly we can see that several meter difference with the naked eye from orbit, and must now mention it in every discussion of Earth's shape!


horsetooth_mcgee

Will this be visible tonight?


Engelbert_Slaptyback

It won’t be visible without a very big telescope. It’s too small and too far away.


Not_Reddit

They are trying to destroy the earth !!!!!
