Barycenter at risk.....

YU-55 asteroid fly by at 201,700 miles from earth is within the earth-moon system and places our earth-moon barycenter (of orbit) at risk. This is the reason that the entrenched elite are taking all of the visible precautions seen these last few weeks. The effects on our barycenter are unpredictable. But probably *any* effects are NOT good.

It would seem advisable to prepare for earthquakes and other events of significant personal consequences over the day(s) of November 8 and 9.

A msm link to the fly by info - LA Times article about YU 55

A link to discussion about earth-moon barycenter - barycenter calcs.... note how the calcs are all about mass.

wiki it and be sure to scroll down to the animation of the two bodies orbiting a common barycenter as this is just what happens with earth and moon.

A NASA discussion with animation about the passage of YU 55 can be viewed here. If the NASA projection is accurate then the effect on the earth-moon system will be to retard the progression of the barycenter to the west. The effect should be small, but even small at a planetary system level is unpredictable in its results for humans who are also small. We can project that any earth located effects are more likely between 40 degrees north and 40 degrees south latitudes.

Rare near-Earth asteroid fly-by set for Tuesday
(AFP) – 13 hours ago
WASHINGTON — A massive asteroid will make a rare fly-by Tuesday, and although it poses no danger of crashing to Earth, US scientists said this week they are eager for a closer look.

"This is not a potentially hazardous asteroid, just a good opportunity to study one," said National Science Foundation astronomer Thomas Statler.

The circular asteroid, named 2005 YU55, is about 1,300 feet (400 meters) wide and will come closer than the Moon, zipping by at a distance of 202,000 miles (325,000 kilometers), the US space agency said.

The time of the nearest flyby is expected to be at 2328 GMT (6:28 Eastern time in the US).

The encounter will be the closest by an asteroid of that size in more than 30 years, and a similar event will not happen again until 2028.

However, those who want to see will need a telescope.

The asteroid is "going to be pretty faint when it flies by," said Scott Fisher, program director of the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences.

"It will not be visible to the naked eye. You will need a telescope that has a mirror at least six inches in size to see it. To make it even more difficult to observe, it will be moving very quickly across the sky as it passes."

Several radar telescopes are set up in North America to catch glimpses of the space rock, Fisher added.

"The best time (and place) to observe it would be in the early evening on November 8th from the east coast of the US."

Astronomers who have studied the object, part of the C-class of asteroids, say it is very dark, like the color of charcoal, and quite porous.

It was first discovered in 2005 by Robert McMillan of the Spacewatch Project, a solar-system-scanning group of scientists near Tucson, Arizona.

While 2005 YU55 will stay a safe distance away, it is part of a crew of 1,262 big asteroids circling the Sun and measuring more than 500 feet (150 meters) across that NASA classifies as "potentially hazardous."

"We want to study these asteroids so if one does look like it may hit us someday, we'll know what to do about it," Statler said.

The asteroid's closest pass is set to take place in 2094, at a distance of 167,000 miles (269,000 kilometers), according to forecasts.

"The observations will give us a piece of the puzzle, one we don't get many chances to see," said Don Yeomans of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

"At one time, we thought these were the asteroids that delivered carbon and other elements to the early Earth, so they are pretty important."

NASA said the last time a space rock this big approached Earth was in 1976, "although astronomers did not know about the fly-by at the time."

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD... IT'S ALREADY TOMORROW IN AUSTRALIA

Great info hipster and Sky and soulsister....LOL we really don't have to worry about the end but it is exciting watching it come to pass.

Actually there will be no end, but there will be a great change, and I can hardly wait for this to take place.

That is a pretty big rock to be flying around like a loose cannon......
