Sirius A is visible yes but Sirius B is not

[Dr. Pyro]

I don't believe that. You can't be Sirius.

[gyre]

You probably shouldn't promote commercial radio.

I think the fuse just got lit yesterday, fireworks to come

I bet some people made a ton of money on yesterday.

A while back I read a novel where one of the characters was a full-time shyster, the kind who sells fake college diplomas and such. He made himself into a television preacher and every few months he announced the end of the World. His customers then sent him extra money to buy their way into heaven, and when "Doomsday" arrived the shyster invented a "reprieve". This went on indefinitely. So I figure yesterday was a huge payday for some such charlatans!

(The amusing part being the fact that there really are people so gullible. Schadenfreude, you know. )

[theCryptofishist]

yeah, that's why I underlined it.

I was adding to what Doc said, not correcting you.

i'm eating a bowl of post-apocalipton soup.

[Ugly Dougly]

Put it on the shelf with your Y2K and Harmonic Convergence memorabilia.

[Aurelia]

[theCryptofishist]

Printers are a little shady, too.

[Ugly Dougly]

How apocatypical.

[Ugly Dougly]

Once again, I am pleased to note that we did not get wiped out again.

Here is a picture of what didn't happen yesterday:


More news as it becomes available.

[Sham]

The apocalypse is so yesteryear.

Day before yesterday

"Many call Apophis the doomsday asteroid because it was initially believed there was a small 2.9-percent chance of it hitting Earth in the year 2029. That information was later refined, with the asteroid actually passing by at a distance of about 22,000 miles. Apophis will near Earth again in the year 2036, but no one knows how close it will come to our planet."

That's about where we have our geo-stationary satellites.

Okay, go ahead and panic.

those measurements, IIRC, don't allow for gravitational distrubances anywhere in it's orbit. or even the effect of this pass with Earth.

It'll be the EOW and I'll be too old!!!
if here at all.

[Ugly Dougly]

Not even allowing for the Yarkovsky effect.

[Simon of the Playa]

i dont think this has been thought all the way through...
