Anyone ever play Metroid Prime? It just struck me that Phaethon is similar to the game's fictional element, Phazon and may be an inspiration. In the game, it is a blue, highly radioactive and mutagenic compound that arrived on the planet Tallon-IV after a meteor made of it struck the planet, eventually giving rise to the titular "Metroid Prime".
I feel like they're eventually going to find out that Comet-->"Active" Asteroid-->Asteroid is a life cycle. Early on in the Solar System, nearly all asteroids might have incorporated considerable quantities of volatiles. Those closer in boiled off faster. When we came along, we assumed those with ices and those without were separate things.
Not sure how that could work without the object having several near-collisions to alter its orbital path. Most short-period comets spend some time out at Kuiper belt distances, and were likely perturbed from there in the first place. Most asteroids are found in the asteroid belt in almost circular orbits.
Given NASA's concentration on manned spaceflight these days, it's nice to know that other countries have sufficiently advanced space programs to be able to take on smaller but important missions such as Japan's projected flyby of this asteroid. The more countries involved in space exploration, the more we can learn.
@@archmage_of_the_aetherYou happen to be completely missing the point. He's referring to a totally different aspect of friendship. He's talking about how it FEELS.
We don't know much about the surface rock and internal composition of asteroids. We need robotic space missions to capture samples from more of these objects. Even shooting at them with a projectile and spectroscopically analysing the outgassing from the collision would help.
It's his word for when something is really fucking cool, awesome or incredibly interesting, but he has to keep his scientific neutrality/emotions outta the video lmao Unusual replaces like every other positive descriptor in his lexicon
If there is water that abates in Phaeton (heated by the sun) it may combust with iron pyrite if they come in contact; 750 degrees is damn hot, although it is the surface temperature of the asteroid. Water needs temperatures above 2000 celcius to begin denaturing (i.e. into H2 and O2 for combustion), but at what pressure? Perhaps also there is another mineral component (not quartz) for oxygen release?
Anyone else notice a small smudge or piece of debris on your screen ? Especially noticeable near the end of the video. Just right of Antons head,a triangular fleck of something.

Thanky & I apologize to everyone who made the trip with me.
Your theory about a tear in the green screen fits with what I see. A speck of debris on the camera lens would be more blurred. OCD gives the mind a lot of exercise… :)
I’m only at 0:45 and I’m ALREADY figuring that if it’s somewhere in between the two then it’s likely it’s unusual coloration come from the formation of a crystalline structure on its surface from having skimmed the atmosphere of another planet
Dang… The sun being the reason entered my mind for a moment before submitting my first comment but I decided against it. I did at least consider a heat source being the reason for the bluing. Almost like bluing steel when forging or TIG welding
It's orbit CANNOT be accurately predicted due to the chaotic alterations that would result from outgassing making this far more dangerous than other NEO's
So that's where the sky stone came from. If you haven't seen it, you should look it up. It's 77% oxygen but it's solid. We can't make it and have no idea how it could be made. But it might have come from that asteroid.
Has anyone considered, based on recent test asteroid test, that there might be a gravity "sinkhole" that helps this asteroid capture particulate floating in the system. Like a Roomba or the Sol systems vacuum cleaner
October 11th 1983 I died. I was a senior in high school and working building commercial fishing boats. October 11th was Columbus day so we had no school and I worked a full day. At the end of the day we were cleaning up. I was up in the Loft or second floor of the warehouse the company was in. I leaned on a "safety railing" to pull up an air hose and the railing let go. I fell app. 18 feet/5.5 meters. On the way down my arm hit a stack of pallets which spun me around and led to me landing nearly head first on the concrete floor. When paramedics arrived, I had no pulse, thank God for modern medicine I have lived a long and wonderful life. I did however shatter my orbital bone, my face had to be reconstructed, shattered my elbow, I have pins in it and limited mobility, pretty much all of my internal organs exploded on impact, I lost a kidney part of my spleen, a chunk of intestines and part of my liver, and last but not least nerve damage in my right leg. But on the same day this object was discovered so hey the day wasn't a total loss 😀.
And how long has this rock been cooking off around the sun? It ought to be nearly hollow by this time. Which is good if it did strike earth, because so much of it would break up into fragments. Dangerous fragments, but not as bad as a solid rock that size. Hopefully!
How do ya know some guy didn't spray paint this rock with blue paint. Using parrot paint I've rigged up a red spray can around my bird feeder that I use to make sparrows look like cardinals!
Anton, i have a question: We all have heard hawkings predictions and "discoveries" of black holes and what they radiate. But I've been very unsettled by it. Let me explain. According to Steven Hawking, black holes radiate "hawking radiation" which is described as the particles blinking into existence around the edge of a black hole. The explanation being that the black hole eats 1 of the 2, and "radiates" the other out, making the black hole "smaller". Theres a GLARING issue with that explanation. Anti-matter and matter both have a positive mass. Anti matter is not anti gravity. We have seen this at cern. That being said, the black hole eats a particle. Which makes it grow. The universe has a particle created. Which makes it grow. Nothing is being radiated. The heat, the light, and the matter swarming a black hole is all moving too fast to really comprehend, falling in at beyond the speed of light, while also orbiting at around the speed of light. That would make it very impossible to see passed. Kind of like a thick, hot barrier edge.... which we see in the microwave radiation background. Its "fringe" to think the universe is a black hole. But simulation theory was also fringe and now its widely accepted. I believe we fell into a black hole. And passing through the heat and light at the event horizon caused a cataclysm. Would that be POSSIBLE with our current understanding of physics and how black holes work? 😊 youre amazing, even if you dont see this or get the chance to respond. 😊
Okay. So a couple of things. First, the particles are actually coming from the energy/mass of the black hole itself, hence it losing mass by the second particle escaping. Also, the particles don't blink into existence right beside each other right at the event horizon like you've seen in videos. The second escaping particle can "pop into existence" quite a long way away from the event horizon. It's just that the first particles path has to eventually lead it down into the black hole, with the second escaping with a teeny tiny bit of the black holes mass
Also, the matter around the black hole are not traveling faster than the speed of light. The gravity at the event horizon is just too strong for light to escape. Same goes for the space time warping around the black hole. I would try to read some verified material on this stuff if you would like to really learn what's up with it

Gold is actually created by something called the r-process that happens during certain really powerful events like supernovae or neutron star collisions. Gold is mostly created by neutron star collisions, but supernovae also make a little too. Hope I answered your question!
So it's almost the size of the one that killed off the dinosaurs, and it crosses our path in space every twelve months; got it. Maybe the path of Phaethon will one day steer all humanity back onto the path of Faith.
