Thread: Re: [Traveller_TNE] The Red Planet might be getting a "facelift"

2 posts.

Tunguska Fireball 1908
Shoemaker-Levy 1994
And if 2007-WD5 hits Mars next year that would make 3 large impacts in our solar system (that I know of) in a century. Maybe it's just me, but that seems like alot. I was under the impression that impacts were less frequent than that. Maybe it will stir up interest in Apophis.

in cruising the tech news posts, I ran across this. Comet Halle-Bop was
in incredible sight to behold, but this might be in our own back yard!

YeeeHaaaa!
Any chance Hubble can be tuuned in for the event? even if it does miss,
it'll be pretty interesting footage.

The article said it was near one of them, but that the rover itself was actually outside the projected blast area.  Mind you, predicting these things is not an "exact" science. ;)

Isn't it supposed to be coming down in the same area (in geographical terms)
as one of those NASA rovers?

Cheers

Never mind Hubble - we've got several orbiters around the red planet
and IIRC one of them (MRO?) at least should have a good view of the
event... (if it happens).

I hope it does hit, it might wake people up to the threat here too...
