HealthBann Plus Banner Exchange Member Forecasts by Jacob Every month, since September 1987, I've written an astrology column for a local complementary magazine distributed the Delaware Valley of southeastern Pennsylvania, southern and central New Jersey, and Delaware. The publication is now New Vision Magazine, which succeeded Visions Magazine, and before that I wrote for New Frontier Magazine. The column has the usual Aries through Pisces paragraph for the month, unlike others in that it includes more astrology and astronomy than most others. However, unlike other columns, this one included several introductory paragraphs relevant to everyone, the nation, and the planet. In the October 2000 issue, I described a deadlocked election in November 2000 with Gore winning the popular vote and Bush the electoral with Bush being elected by the electoral college in December. In the column for September 2001, I mentioned an attack on the United States from outside enemies.

Asteroids Introduction In addition to the Sun and the major planets with their satellites, the solar system is populated with numerous comets and asteroids. These small bodies are the remains from the formation of the solar system some 5 billion years ago. Contrary the terrestrial planets, which are more or less geologically evolved, many comets and asteroids are to a large extent preserved in their pristine condition. Most asteroids are found in the main-belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and are most probably the remains of a planet that failed to form, due to the perturbations of Jupiter. An almost equally large population is the Trojan asteroids, which are trapped in the two Lagrangian points 60 degrees ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit. Another important group is the near-Earth asteroids, where several are on Earth-crossing orbits and may pose a potential threat upon the Earth The study of asteroids is one important key to the understanding of the early solar system. The evolution of the asteroids and their interactions in the present-day solar system are also important issues. There are many open questions related to the distribution of mass, angular momentum, and chemical composition in the main-belt. The few images available of asteroids show highly irregular shapes, indicating violent histories of impacts and collisions. The traditional distinction between comets and asteroids seems to become increasingly more vague with new discoveries of borderline and transitional objects.

By BBC News Online science editor Dr David Whitehouse Impacts by asteroids may have affected the course of human evolution, according to two researchers studying how often the Earth has been struck in the past. They say that rather than gradual and uninterrupted human evolution, the ascent of mankind could have been influenced by frequent cosmic catastrophes. It is sobering to realise that we are alive due to cosmic luck rather than our genetic make-up Dr Benny Peiser, John Moores University, UK Their work, they say, explains one of the biggest problems that has puzzled researchers for generations: why almost all human-like creatures or hominids, have become extinct during the past five million years. According to traditional theories of evolution, our early ancestors were slowly and gradually replaced because they failed to compete with other human species that had superior "fitness". But according to Dr Benny Peiser, a social anthropologist at John Moores University in Liverpool, UK, and Michael Paine, an impact researcher from the Planetary Society in Australia, the most likely cause of hominid extinctions may be more than 20 globally devastating catastrophes that occurred over the last five million years.

To Do List There are four classes of asteroids discussed in this book, based on their location: Main Belt asteroids a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth. Amor asteroids asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term. Apollo asteroids asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term. Aten asteroids asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term. This figure shows an example of an Amor, an Apollo and an Aten orbit.

This is why you must get out and view it early before it reaches opposition, as it is much more exciting to see the planet get larger and easier to see with each successive week than to see it shrinking and fading away.

Actually, most of the rocks and iceballs that pepper the planet burn up high in the atmosphere. Only a few last long enough to give people on the ground a few oohs and ahhs. Such fireballs are easy enough to spot at night but often pass unseen during the light of day. Unseen, perhaps, but not unheard.

Asteroids Asteroids are rocky and metallic objects too small to be considered planets. They are sometimes called minor planets . They range in size from Ceres, with a diameter of about 1000 km, down to a few centimeters or less. The ajacent image shows the asteroid Gaspra, as photographed by the Galileo space probe (Ref) . The name asteroids, meaning "star-like", derives from the fact that, compared with comets, they are star-like in appearance because since they are rocky they do not emit the gases and dust that give comets their fuzzy appearance. Asteroids on a collision course with Earth are called meteoroids . If this meteoroid burns up because of frictional heating when it strikes our atmosphere, we term it a meteor (colloquially, a "shooting star"). If the meteoroid doesn't burn up completely and strikes the Earth we call it a meteorite . We shall discuss, meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites in the next section. Next Back Top Home Help

Story Tools RELATED Science magazine Mars exploration (NASA) BIG DITCH Valles Marineris, dubbed the Grand Canyon of Mars, is more than four times longer and deeper than its terrestrial counterpart. The red planet trench is 2,500 miles long and up to four miles deep. (CNN) The authors of a new study say that while enormous surges of water carved out sprawling networks of valleys on Mars eons ago, the young red planet was hardly a steamy greenhouse with long-lasting oceans, as some scientists have theorized. Researchers with NASA and the University of Colorado say the canyons most likely were formed during brief bouts of torrential rains, when asteroid and comet chunks collided with Mars and unleashed frozen water. They propose that the flurry of impacts produced periodic layers of hot debris that blanketed the surface, warming it above the freezing point of water for decades or centuries at a stretch.

Some, like Ceres, can be very large, while others are as small as a grain of sand. Due to their smaller size, asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball. Astronomers group asteroids into different categories based on the way they reflect sunlight. The asteroid belt is divided into an inner belt and an outer belt. The inner belt which is made up of asteroids that are within 250 million miles of the Sun contains asteroids that are made of metals. The outer belt, which includes asteroids 250 million miles beyond the Sun, consists of rocky asteroids. These asteroids appear darker than the asteroids of the inner belt, and are rich in carbon.

Earth-Crossing Asteroids Certain groups of asteroids have elliptical orbits that cross the orbit of the Earth and other inner planets. Thus, these asteroids can come very close to the Earth. This provides a rationale to study such asteroids beyond the merely scientific one. The Earth-Crossing Asteroid 1995 CR The adjacent animation illustrates the orbit of asteroid 1995 CR , which was only discovered in 1995. The animation covers the two years-February 3, 1994 through February 3, 1996-at approximately 1 month intervals, except near the time of discovery (February 3, 1995) where the interval is about 10 days. This asteroid is of a relatively rare type with an orbital period much faster than that of the Earth. Notice that its orbit crosses the orbit of all 4 of the inner planets (though not obvious here, the orbit is almost in the plane of the ecliptic). On February 22, 1995 (2 1/2 weeks after discovery), this asteroid passed within 7.5 million km of the Earth-a distance only 20 times that of the distance to the Moon (note that in the animation the sizes of the planetary disks and of the asteroid are greatly exaggerated). Notice how rapidly the asteroid moves on the inner part of its orbit (Kepler's 2nd Law). It covers approximate half of the distance around its orbit in only about 2 months when it is near the Sun!

Flip through the racks of your personal collection and pick one out. Is it Milli Vanilli? Vanilla Ice? Regis Philbin? It should be Dance Your Asteroids Off , the new compilation disc from Meco. Do you remember Meco? He did a series of inexplicably successful revisions of classic film scores throughout the late seventies and early eighties, including the Close Encounters theme and The Wizard of Oz . This collection focuses solely on the work he did using John Williams' music from the Star Wars films, and man, it's a doozy. The disc opens with what was probably his biggest hit, his blowout number for the first Star Wars film, replete with sound effects from the film and swingin' disco beat. Hearing the now-seminal strains of Williams' Star Wars main titles music pumped out over a wah-wah guitar and slammin' dance groove is so deliciously awful that it's good. Real good. This tune alone makes the disc worth a purchase; it's got all the Lucasian embarassment value of the Star Wars Holiday Special But it doesn't quit there! No, Meco takes us on a tour of his music from all FOUR

When seen through a telescope, an asteroid looks like a faint star The largest known asteroid, Ceres, was discovered in 1801. It is named from the Roman goddess of agriculture Many asteroids resemble peanuts like two chunks of rock that are glued together Astronomers have discovered thousands of asteroids in our solar system, and millions more probably await discovery. Still, the mass of all the asteroids combined is less than the mass of the smallest planet, Pluto. Most asteroids lie between Mars and Jupiter, in a vast ring called the Asteroid Belt. But others inhabit different regions of the solar system. The Apollo asteroids, for example, cross or come near Earth's orbit. An Apollo asteroid may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs when it collided with Earth 65 million years ago. Collisions with similar asteroids may have triggered additional "mass extinctions" on Earth over the last several hundred million years. Billions of years ago, when the planets were forming, many large asteroids may have inhabited the asteroid belt. Jupiter's strong gravity prevented these "planetoids" from clumping together to form another planet. Instead, over time, the asteroids crashed into one another and split apart into smaller and smaller fragments. Such collisions occur even now, leaving dust and smaller asteroids in the asteroid belt.
