Fun website. Thanks for posting it Kurt. You placed your observer 100 km away from the impact. Stansbury is much closer but I wonder how much (if any) protection the Oquirrh Mountains would provide. Maybe my pier would survive... :) patrick On 29 Oct 2010, at 22:19, Canopus56 wrote:
Although there is absolutely no chance that the 500 meter diameter NEO asteroid 2003 UV11 will hit the earth (the asteroid is now inside the Earth's orbit and on its way Venus), just for a hoot I ran it through the Earth Impacts Program online calculator for effects at 100km distant from the point of impact. While this asteroid has a period of about 625 days, it will not be this close to the earth again until after 2170. Clear Skies - Kurt
