There is a war up there....

Trojan Asteroids Around Neptune Could Hit Earth




Material from the Trojan asteroids that exist around the orbit of Neptune could go on to become comets that could strike our planet, according to a new study. Many comets swing into the inner solar system every 200 to 300 years. The origin of such so-called "short-period comets" is unknown but the immediate source is thought to be the Centaurs—these are a collection of an estimated million icy objects more than 1 kilometre across on elliptical orbits that come closest to the sun between the orbits of Jupiter and Neptune.

Only about 250 of these Centaurs have been imaged by telescopes. All are on unstable orbits, and have a big chance of receiving a gravitational boost when their orbit brings them near Jupiter or one of the other giant planets. Such perturbation could redirect them into the inner solar system - and possibly towards Earth. As a wayward Centaur approaches the sun, its heat begins to evaporate the icy contents, resulting in a cometary tail. Previous simulations of the Centaurs suggest something must be feeding them with extra material - each object will orbit for about 3 million years before it hits a planet, falls into the sun, is ejected from the solar system or simply disintegrates.


"The population decays and it is being replenished from somewhere," New Scientist quoted Jonathan Horner at the University of Durham, UK, as saying. In a paper to appear in the International Journal of Astrobiology, Horner and Patryk Sofia Lykawka of Kinki University in Osaka, Japan, suggest that the source of this replenishment is the Neptunian Trojans - asteroids orbiting the sun on roughly the same path as Neptune. They calculate that one out of the six known Trojans has a 50 percent chance of migrating to become a Centaur over the next 600 million years.


Since there is reason to believe there may be as many as 10 million undiscovered Neptunian Trojans wider than 1 kilometre, the pair concluded that these could be topping up the Centaurs. Hal Levison of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, argues that to maintain the stock of known kilometre-sized short-period comets, the number of Trojans would have to be as high as a billion. In his opinion, this is unlikely because so many objects of such a size would collide and fragment to smaller dimensions. "I'm dubious," he said. Levison reckons the main source of the Centaurs is the "scattered disc", part of the Kuiper belt of debris beyond Neptune.

They have their fingers in everything....

Just a thought for those that might like to go a liitle deeper with the binary system theory.I not only believe its obvious but I also believe that an advanced race of humans that came here to avoid war,and the destruction it brought.Wanted some protection from these cyclical attacks on earth, alot from the sun,some from asteroids.I believe this is what the moon is designed for.I can hear the laughter,but think about it the moon is at the exact distance to cause a full eclipse.Would'nt it also if put in the right position block a CME?How about asteroids?could they get around the moon and still strike us?Chris Dunn is getting close to revealing the unbelieveable power of the pyramids.He believes that electro-magnetism and anti-gravity are involved.Is it sooo far fetched?we have remote airplanes now if left to grow 200 yrs whos to say?Moving an object the size of the moon could be childs play.Also look at a photo of the back side of the moon!

Doesn't this remind you of the movie "knowing" from Nicolas Cage

That was a great movie, it made you think, what if there's something to this, and disaster is on it's way.

How can we avoid it ?



ps

Does anybody know what the music is on the vid in the op ?

Thank you for your videos, & charts. Thanks to the commentors as well. as a recent red pill popper, I have come across more subject matter than I ever dreamed possible. I have a question that perhaps you, or your homies can answer. Where can I find info on the van allen belts? Hmmm make that 2 questions, please. The other being is the moon within, or without the van allen belts? Thank you for your time, & consideration.

The radiation belts are regions of high-energy particles, mainly protons and electrons, held captive by the magnetic influence of the Earth. They have two main sources. A small but very intense "inner belt" (some call it "The Van Allen Belt" because it was discovered in 1958 by James Van Allen of the University of Iowa) is trapped within 4000 miles or or so of the Earth's surface. It consists mainly a high-energy protons (10-50 MeV) and is a by-product of the cosmic radiation, a thin drizzle of very fast protons and nuclei which apparently fill all our galaxy.

In addition there exist electrons and protons (and also oxygen particles from the upper atmosphere) given moderate energies (say 1-100 keV; 1 MeV = 1000 keV) by processes inside the domain of the Earth's magnetic field. Some of these electrons produce the polar aurora ("northern lights") when they hit the upper atmosphere, but many get trapped, and among those, protons and positive particles have most of the energy .

The outer belt is larger than the inner belt and its particle population fluctuates widely. Energetic (radiation) particle fluxes can increase and decrease dramatically as a consequence of geomagnetic storms, which are themselves triggered by magnetic field and plasma disturbances produced by the Sun. The increases are due to storm-related injections and acceleration of particles from the tail of the magnetosphere.

I looked up a typical satellite passing the radiation belts (elliptic orbit, 200 miles to 20000 miles) and the radiation dosage per year is about 2500 rem, assuming one is shielded by 1 gr/cm-square of aluminum (about 1/8" thick plate) almost all of it while passing the inner belt. But there is no danger. The way the particles move in the magnetic field prevents them from hitting the atmosphere, and even if they are scattered so their orbit does intersect the ground, the atmosphere absorbs them long before they get very far. Even the space station would be safe, because the orbits usually stop above it--any particles dipping deeper down are lost much faster than they can be replenished.

The answer to your second question... The moon is beyond the van allen belts! The average distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon is 384,403 km (238,857 miles)...
