NASA has just released data from the orbiting WISE telescope that indicates there are a lot more asteroids out there that can hit us then they previously new about.  While letting us know there is no need to panic, NASA has indicated that they are paying much closer attention then they had before.  More asteroids tand larger ones than previously thought are in orbits that potentially could collide with Earth. Impacting with Earth could create a host of environmental hazards not to mention extensive damage and loss of life. A small asteroid of  40 meters in size impacting earth would be equivalent to the detonation of a 3 megaton nuclear bomb.

Peruvian authorities are warning residents and tourists of a health danger as they investigate a strange mass die-off occurring off the Northern coast of Peru.  over 1,200 birds (mostly pelicans) and 800 dolphins have washed ashore dead over the last few months and no one knows why. The Ministry of Health was warning visitors to stay away from the beaches of its Northern coastline until they can determine the cause of this mass extinction.

2012 Predictions – Part 2

I had a dream ….(Updated 4-28-2012)

1. North Korea will test a thermonuclear  weapon (not atomic) using highly enriched uranium. This will startle and frighten observers. This will happen within the next 3-4 months. They will also make a long range missile test within the same period.  The tone of their leadership will become more belligerent as the leadership faces increasing control from the military.

2. The Iranian nuclear talks will collapse by August with little progress being made after their leadership stops cooperating in the talks. This in turn will create the maelstrom that leads to the Israeli attack (also foretold in Jan 2012)

3. Pope Benedict begins to tire more so as a result of his recent travels. As we stated a few months ago, there will be a new Pope in Rome before the year is over.

4. Our earlier prediction from January 2012 was that Mitt Romney would be the Republican nominee. This prediction will be fulfilled shortly. We also now predict that his Vice-Presidential running mate will be a female.

Another close encounter with an asteroid is about to happen again and this time it’s happening on April Fools Day but this is no joke. A passenger jet sized space rock discovered March 13th and referred to by astronomers as 2012 EG5 will come closer to Earth than the Moon is.
Don’t worry, NASA says it will not hit us though.
This makes the third asteroid to come close to Earth in less than 30 days. Two other asteroids passed close by us on March 26th (2012 FP35 within 96,000 miles and 2012 FS35 which passed within 36,000 miles of Earth).
We will see another close flyby on April 4th when 2012 FA57, discovered on March 28, will pass at a range just beyond the orbit of the moon.
