Well I found a new spin on the Novermber 9th testing of the Emergency Broadcast Systems.
Buckle up.... this is some weird stuff. There is an asteroid called 2005 YU55 that is scheduled to pass between the earth and the moon on that day. Yes, that is incredibly close! From the research I have done ( and I will post links for videos ) it is scheduled to move between the earth and the moon at it's closest point at 5:28pm on November 8th.
Here is some information about 2005 YU55 on the NASA website :
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2005%20YU55&orb=1

Go to the website below and scroll down to the chart in the middle of the page and you will see information about "Near Earth Asteroids" and it will show their specific data in that chart: You will see that YU55 is going to be very close.
http://spaceweather.com/

Here is another website that talks about the specs of the asteroid and who discovered it.
http://yu55.net/2011/05/06/massive-asteroid-2005-yu55/

So, I am guessing that this "interruption in service" is a little more than testing the emergency system, but could be actual use of the system in case something knocks the asteroid

Here is a website that simulates on video with high tech software how close the asteroid is expected to come to the earth, and also what could happen to the earth if something knocks it off it's path and directs it to earth.
http://thetruthbehindthescenes.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/what-would-happen-if-asteroid-2005-yu55-hit-earth/

I am guessing that the government did not want to cause mass panic and that is why the reason for the interruption in service was not specifically explained. But also, you can see on the link below that there is also Tsunami exersizes put in place for November 9th as well.

Not worked up. They are saying that it is going to miss us. But I thought it was a good explanation for the "interruption of service" on the 9th rather than thinking it was related to removal of rights.

They also said Elenin would miss us, but the sheer mass of it was getting all sorts of dire predictions relating to the tilt of the earth, the orbit path, etc. Why would this comet effect us, lets think -

Satellites - they are all around the earth, right? Could disrupt service from a satellite if it blocks the signal, or hits one (is there are chance?). How much stuff that we take for granted all around us is coming to us via satellite signal?

I can't think of anything else. Cell phones and everything going to be switched off? Or just tv and radio? I haven't look too much into this, as I will be working out in the sun with no tv or radio near. Cell phone is a different story though...

Jupiter took that sucker apart with one blow. If the capacitance of it had have come into contact with the earths magnetosphere there would have been hell to pay judging by how far out Jupiter's electric flow bulged to hit it. That is what the outer planets are there for.

NASA says no threat. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news171.html

Although classified as a potentially hazardous object, 2005 YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over at least the next 100 years. However, this will be the closest approach to date by an object this large that we know about in advance and an event of this type will not happen again until 2028 when asteroid (153814) 2001 WN5 will pass to within 0.6 lunar distances.


Elenen will get no closer than 22 million miles and as it turns out, it also had broken up during its voyage thorugh space. It never had a lot of "sheer mass" to begin with and as comets go, was considered "pretty wimpy" even before its demise.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45050612/ns/technology_and_science-space/

The wimpy comet Elenin, which vaulted into the public spotlight as a so-called harbinger of doom, has met its own demise, and its remains won't be back for 12,000 years, NASA scientists say.

The comet made a swing through the inner solar system in recent months, coming closest to Earth on Oct. 16, but by that time all that was left were crumbs. The fate of comet Elenin, it seems, was sealed in September during its closest approach to the sun.

"Elenin did as new comets passing close by the sun do about 2 percent of the time: It broke apart," said Don Yeomans of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., in a statement Monday. "Elenin's remnants will also act as other broken-up comets act. They will trail along in a debris cloud that will follow a well-understood path out of the inner solar system. After that, we won't see the scraps of comet Elenin around these parts for almost 12 millennia."

Two telescopes operated by astronomers at the Marshall Space Flight Center just stopped scanning the skies for Comet Elenin, which began fading and breaking apart back in August. Now only empty space marks its close approach (22 million miles) to Earth. However, a meteor and the barred spiral galaxy NGC-2903 grace the top of this Oct. 14 image.

Yeomans called Elenin an "ex-comet," one that should soon be forgotten.

Nothing is going to get switched off. They will just be broadcasting a test warning signal.

I am not talking about Elenin. This is a different thing altogether. Elenin is a comet.
This is an asteroid called 2005 YU55.

And you are correct, NASA are reporting that YU55 is not supposed to hit earth, unless something in space knocks it off it's current path.
However, it is supposed to hit in about a 100 years.

Wow. When I first read this I thought that your report must be wrong. That sounded too close (to me) to accurately calculate a trajectory. I checked SpaceWeather.com and found that the yu55 is predicted to pass at 0.8 lunar distances from earth and the size is 200 meters. That means that it's only 0.2 LD from the moon! I wonder what the accuracy of the computation is?

I also wonder how large a chunk of rock has to be not to be totally burnt up by our atmosphere? I'm sure that that this one wouldn't.

On the lighter side, I see that we already had another asteroid pass between on the 26th. It was closer and only 10 meters large.

Found this to be interesting:

Closest asteroid yet flies past Earth http://www.greatdreams.com/1950DA.htm#closest

18:17 02 October 03

NewScientist.com news service

An asteroid about the size of a small house passed just 88,000 kilometres from the Earth by on Saturday 27 September - the closest approach of a natural object ever recorded. Geostationary communication satellites circle the Earth 42,000km from the planet's centre.The asteroid, designated 2003 SQ222, came from inside the Earth's orbit and so was only spotted after it had whizzed by. The first sighting was on Sunday 28 by the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search program in Arizona, US. Amateur astronomer Peter Birtwhistle of Great Shefford, Berkshire, UK, then photographed it on Monday 29. This provided data that helped Brian Marsden, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, to calculate its orbit. The asteroid's 1.85-year orbit is quite eccentric, indicating it cannot be a man-made object, Marsden says. He estimates the asteroid measured less than 10 metres. This is too small to have posed a danger to Earth, although it would have made a spectacular fireball had it entered the atmosphere.

The passage came at about 2300 GMT, only 10 hours after a bright fireball streaked over the Orissa region of India. Indian villagers have found pieces of the meteorite, which reportedly cause two house fires. However, this event was not connected to the fly past of 2003 SQ222, says Marsden.The previous record for closest approach of an asteroid - 108,000km measured from the centre of the Earth - was set in 1994 by another 10m object named 1994 XM1.

But the third-closest approach - at 120,000km - was object 2002 MN, which was about 80m in diameter. If on target, that could have exploded in the Earth's lower atmosphere and devastated a couple of thousand square kilometres on the ground.

Another small asteroid, 2003 SW130, missed the Earth by 160,000km on 19 September, making it a busy month for asteroid watchers.

That is somewhat comforting that another past between the earth and moon before without hitting anything. LOL.
I will go back and check the links that I posted, but I seem to recall that this one has a tremendous weight behind it.
I tend to wonder if this is not the reason behind the massive underground construction under the Denver Airport. I bet on November 8 there will be some kind of major government convention in Denver! LOL.

Ok, the website below says that it is 1,300 feet width with 55 million tonnes by weight.
That is pretty friggin heavy! One of the links that I posted was someone doing a computer simulation of what would happen IF it did hit earth.
The crater itself would be 5 miles wide and 2,000 ft deep! Makes me want to check the specs on the Grand Canyon! LOL.

So why do the test on the 9th, rather than the 7th or 8th?

Some unverifiable source today said that if it did hit E, the explosion would be about eq. of 65,000 atomic bombs, but considering it was some random person, that could be off be a factor btwn 10 and 1000 I think.

Well call me cynical, but I don't think it would testing at all. I think they MIGHT be trying to make contact with anyone that MIGHT have survived from their bunker under the Denver Airport! LOL. You would have thought that it MIGHT have been important to test the system BEFORE the 8th! LOL.

Annie, would you mind posting the link to this again? I'm getting 200m which should be a little more than 600ft? Maybe my math is off.
Either way, a chunk of rock that big is still too big to burn up in our atmosphere. :)

I read this thread when it first came out and thought it was interesting... I didn't share my thoughts with anyone though.

My dad works at NASA and he just sent me this: http://gizmodo.com/5855571/this-asteroid-is-getting-way-too-close-to-ear



According to NASA, the "trajectory of asteroid 2005 YU55 is well understood," so there's no dangers whatsoever. Its gravitational influence will not affect anything in our planet, so don't expect volcanos to go off, tectonic plates to sink into melting magma or tides getting New York under the Atlantic ocean. It will just pass by as scientists observe it using the Goldstone and Arecibo antennas, so expect some asteroid porn in the coming days.

Well, we're all going to be safe......yahoo told me so.

Close encounter of an asteroid kind;

The bad news first: An asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will be hurtling toward Earth and is expected to fly between the Earth and the moon on Tuesday. The good news: The space rock will not, repeat not, hit Earth. Even though NASA has classified asteroid 2005 YU55 as a "potentially hazardous object." Even though it will pass closer than all other large asteroids have done in the past 35 years. It will do just that: pass by.

But the 1,300-foot-wide object, which will be just 201,700 miles away from Earth, offers a rare scientific opportunity. "Asteroids have passed this close or even closer in the past, but astronomers have not had as much advance notice," noted Bing Quock, assistant director of the Morrison Planetarium at the California Academy of Sciences, in an email to Yahoo! News.

Like I said. Jupiter nailed that one due to its capacitance. It was a long term comet which meant it stored alot of charge from being out there.It passed by Jupiter who reached out with his elctromagnetosphere and bulge smacked it into pieces. Its ghost cloud passed us recently. The issue with this asteroid is its size is large enough to cause perturbations in the barycentre of the earth. It may be only miniscule but that is enough to wreak havoc if it translates into earthquaking.
