Hallo!
Hier ein weiterer Beitrag aus GLP:
Official DATA discrepencies?
Anybody sorted this out yet?(I did not write these but picked out the relevant posts from 3 forums for us -- Matt..)(Thanks To:Snidely,Esclarmonde,USC Postdoc, A.C´s)
"WHAT DOES COMET c/2002 T7 HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
Here is where it gets REALLY weird: If you check the JPL Orbiter program for c/2002 T7:
LINK I:
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db_shm?sstr=c%2F2002+T7+--you will find (above)that it has been artificially changed apparently to come nearest the earth on May 19/20. How do we know this? Because according to the Harvard Orbital elements (the official word), it actually comes nearest to Earth on April 23, 2004!"

"While studying V838Mon via Hubble, some unusual observations were noted about Comet C/2002 T7 LINEAR that was in the proximal field of view. Astrometric motion analysis by JPL in tandem with NASA, revealed that T7 would approach within between 0.04 and 0.11 LD (Lunar Distances) of the Earth on April 22, 2004. This is in stark contrast to original estimates that T7 would come within 0.27 AU of the Earth, and on May 19. JPL estimated probability of impact between 77 and 91%. Don´t expect an announcement by either JPL or NASA. Ever! And as such, do not expect any media announcements. The cat will be out of the bag when T7 is streaking through our atmosphere. But by then, it will be too late. I´m trying to rebook time on Hubble as part of my thesis, but SSTI has temporarily suspended outside access to Hubble until June, 2004."Anonymous:
"Don´t know if any of this Op´s comments are true, but just going by his info, here are some numbers:
He said they calculate the comet to pass by somewhere between .04 - .11 Lunar Distances.
Earth´s diameter = 7,926 miles
One LD (distance from earth to moon) = 230,600 miles
.11 LD = 25,366 miles (app. 3 earth diameters)
.04 LD = 9,224 miles (app 1+ earth diameters)
If true, that is practically scratching the paint! NOT good."
