#Asteroid #Moon #Space
Sounds like a UFO. Or Chinese balloon.
Or maybe it’s a rock
@@Oofioli Maybe it’s a naturally occurring rock that just happened to get caught up in our gravity.
Hi
Yoav Gallant, le ministre israélien de La Défense, a été tué dans les bombardements Iraniens.
Israeli Défense minister Yoav Gallant has been killed by Iranian bombardements last night
False
I ran I an?
Is rae li?
Are you stupid or something?
And eye for an eye.
Dont care.
Guess that asteroid would be the flea if the moon is the golden retreavier. 😂
Right, let’s just pretend Rottweilers don’t get fleas too lol
Elon. I want paid but I got an idea that will get man further than anyone
This is stupid… it’s not a moon. It won’t even complete 1 full orbit around the Earth.
Yeah I understand all the coverage, but calling it a “mini moon” is ridiculous, it’s a tiny space rock flying by
Trust the YouTube guy instead of the experts
@@TheTrumpToy-k2j
Say “baaaaaaa”
@@Fordgroup00 I can tell you have no friends
It is a moon on earth 2..
Elon… catch it, and bring it to Earth!
It’s not the size . It’s the speed of impact and penetration in between Earth’s cracks that can create severe explosions and tidal waves .
lol ok if you say so
That’s exactly what I always tell my partners
It is its Velocity a vector quantity not speed which is a scaler quantity 😊😊
I literally just explained this exact thing to my wife
If its that small it doesnt matter cause it will burn up in the atmosphear before it reach us🤷♂️
We never went to the moon…🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄. BTW, the world is flat. We’ve been lied to since the beginning.
Dude you’ll never cnvince them . Just because theres about 20 or 30 tests that can be done here on the ground to show them flat plane, non rotation and local sun and moon . Still nasa has cool artwork. Thats really neat.
And how that Dr.pepper bottle get on the moon. Sucks when you first realize our reality is a f-ing lie.
Have good one.
They call it a moon yet it has no resemblance of a moon. Last time I checked the moon is perfectly round, and the astroid or meteor is not. This alone should give clue to whether there is a God or not. A perfectly round object is not by chance but by design. Also worth mention is that gravity trick that allows the Earth to pull the moon in, but it does not deviate from its loctaion. A astroid either is puoled all the way in and hits earth or doesn’t and is gone in a short time. The moon does none of this.
T Coronae Borealis should be visible soon. I’m surprised we didn’t get a chance to see it by September. Hopefully soon.
Quick, land a probe on it. Catch a free ride to who knows where. Oops it’s too heavy now, she’s coming in hot boys
Ooo a whole lotta nothing. So much money studying nothing.
I really don’t like the idea of a large rock entering orbit around the earth. This one isn’t going to do anything but what about the next one.
Keep worrying
There is honestly not much to worry about. Our moon actually, natually acts as a asteroid deterrent. It’s does this all the time. In fact, this is exactly how the moon acts as our asteroid deterret. It captures a rock, tugs it along, then send it along back into space. They are just reporting on the moon doing its job, nothing more. It would take a much bigger asteroid to bypass the moons influence and just plow into us. Something the size of Ohio might do it, certainly not this little thing.
Howd they figure 60 days. By my calculations 854 days.
I hope something hits i need super powers 😂😂😂
I’m with you but we have them alresdy😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Fake
Not a moon and ours is NOT 4 billion yrs old, NEVER been proven. Really wish they’d stop pushing this propaganda.
Serena’s daughter, Rina, is paying a visit.
This tells me nothing scientific. Media selling more emotion in general terms.
Alll Lies
Lame…
This happens every 55 years. Really a NON story. But it makes you wonder WHY they are making such a big deal about it.
How cool is that❓
Mini moon? It can hardly seen!
I still want them to go get it !
We probably need one of these to restart like the dinosaurs went to extinction.
Knock on wood
The asteroid 99942 Apophis, nicknamed the “God of Chaos”, will pass close to Earth on April 13, 2029:
Then swing back thru 7 yrs later
I mean, you’d be Bye Bye too.
Thumbs down for irresponsible click bait title. Shame on you NBC.
I shall call him…mini-moon
*Captain America* “I understood that reference”
Yes
There’s nothing outside the firmament. NASA is lying again.
Watch out for any mess they’ll try to start and using this lie as their excuse.
Hi
The new second moon is already sending solar radiation at night and it is being captured by solar panels.the strength of radiation is quite strong and is upto 25% of day time value.
Can you expand on this information and the source? Thank you!
These days, an asteroid nearly hitting Earth is considered good news.
Ummm… That’s… Certainly A Way To Look At It
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
AS LONG AS IT DOESN’T HIT… 😂
They should find ways to have it permanently orbit the Earth, then harvest it
Why not mining now?
Sounds more like an alien probe to me. What kind of object would arrive, stay 60 days and then leave?? An alien probe!
I agree!!!
Google “neighbors world trigger” from the anime world trigger, you will understand.
My brother after he gets outta jail
Nukes first, then the fake 👽 invasion
💯
I wish we had a system set up and ready in orbit to capture objects like these for study. At the size of a schoolbus, this object would have been a great starter challenge or stepping stone towards capturing larger asteroids for study and space mining.
Fun fact it will stick around till I say otherwise.
I believe that
They should put a probe on it
What Do The Second Moon Mean?
Put a tracker on it 🤷🏽♂️
Apple air tag that bad boy
What does do for Kanye’s career???
The mini moon is the new curiosity rover!
stone wall riots
MINIONS! WE’RE GOING TO STEAL THE MOON!
-Gru
There is going to be so many earth
Quakes. There not telling anyone this.
Like number 420. Yeet
You guys should google “neighbors world trigger”, you will understand.
I’m so mad the edibles I got melted in my tummy .
It’s interesting cuz its suggesting that if we put a large size Rock in outer space that it will orbit the planet and act like a second moon and potentially block the Sun from heating the planet also it’s suggesting that if we were to put a large size Rock in outer space and it orbits the planet that it potentially could re-align the planet from falling off of its axis. It’s also suggesting that it is a temperature field that is keeping objects orbiting the planet and it is not a magnetic field also saying that large objects start attracting to the planet when it starts heating up
Second moon person 😀
I don’t know about you guys but in Missouri we haven’t even seen the regular moon in 3 days. It’s really bizarre
Same!! Still haven’t seen the moon as of last night, but I saw a red circle in the sky that looks like a second moon. I’m in California btw.
Just wondering, institutions spent millions of dollars just to send a probe to a very far away asteroid to get a sample. And here’s one just in our door step but no one is doing anything?
very far behind
9/29 To 11/25
LIERS!!! THE MOVIE, “DINLOOK UP”…is literally plaing out!!! IGNORE THE DISTRACTIONS & POLITRICKS…ALL SCRIPTED!
Its my cousins. They called and said they’d be in the area. They’re always hesitant to stop by caue y’all are so f’n crazy 😂
that asteroid is using Earth gravity to slingshot itself to a different direction
Mini moon got here and was like show me what you GOT?
Great cgi 😂
The Stupidity continues bs news apparently this has happened 5 times ?why is this the first time we are hearing about it lol mini moon looks nout like ah moon because its ah bloody astroid!!..😆
Meet Star Wormwood
Alien parking there and they’re giving us a heads up so we don’t think much of it.
Yeah right how they know how long it’s gonna be there who said that they lying
HzaecZzy tcczXyjE fidao the rduzzzzzier dsxgzb☄️🚍
Sounds like another fly by, not a moon. Gaslighting at its finest. Might as well start calling satellites moons. At least we can see them without telescopes.
Yea it’s just a “rock”…
😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 1:37
Fake
This is a very special and spiritual moon
A second moon before gta6 ? Crazy
If the 30ft diameter second moon is magnetic, i believe it’s going to get bigger if it collects many more tiny magnetic debris from space. These 30ft Asteroid might have the potential to be 300,000 bigger than our moon!
We should capture it and put a bunch of bacteria and fungi on it. And throw it at mars
SHENANIGANS 😡
Paolo Canyon
Celestial my soul is prolonging that is mine
The 5th Seal is open.
Soon…
No, no, we are in the beginning of the second seal. Revelations is original greek. So interpret from greek.
Soooo an asteroid?
Minecraft story mode predicted this
I haven’t seen the moon once since this started. What’s really going on out there?
Experimental Sun blocking , shade ? So far no auroras after recent forcasts?
It’s face though. 0:46
BOOOOOOO!
we got second moon before GTA 6?
There has not been no moon
And people think it’s the end of the work 🤦♂️🤦♂️
asteroid: oh yea i’m gonna just go to the next pizza planet over ther-
earth: mmmmmmmm… *YOINK*
Our God ears and eyes is are waiting an watching to hear the repentance of his people. The end of time is near .. for all who repent of there sin will be saved and changed for the End of Time is near so repent be in a Holy Communion United with your brothers and sisters and be the witness the witnesses the POWER OF CHRIST AND HIS UNITED KINGDOM.
I wish I could post the photos. It’s massive !!!! It literally hangs like a star
Yeay sure we went to the moon lol 👍 ok
Its called an astetoid not moon. NBC. You cant see it so why are we making big deal.
Distraction
Could they be downplaying a potential asteroid impact as a “mini moon”? Something is going on and imo I think they’re trying to figure out how to cancel this year’s election cycle.
Not a moon. An asteroid
Small
Crazy how there is zero real pictures of this thing.
Desperate for distracting headlines much? Asteroids are affected by Earth’s orbit all the time. This asteroid did not get captured by the Earth’s gravity, but rather its trajectory was affected by it. There are thousands and thousands of asteroids every year. This is not a unique phenomenon, and it is NOT a moon! So silly.
Why even talk about this if it can’t even be seen by a telescope
That’s not a second moon it’s a ship belonging to the beings that created the cities in saturn they were also the ones that sent omuamua ship but deep state said it was a moon or meteor.
This is literally making a big deal out of a miniscule event. In space, this happens quite often. The moon has it’s own gravitational pull, so small astraroids, like the one mentioned, get captured in it’s orbit from time to time, then slingshotted back out to space, normally. This is how our moon acts as a natural home defence for Earth. This happens often and it’s not a news worth event. This bus size asteroid is certaianly no “moon”, we are in no immenant danger, and we cannot even see it with a home telescope. This is not news. This is a waste of time, effort, and resources.
