Extreme speeds of the asteroids

[ricci]

Only for curiosity I have calculated the extreme speeds of the asteroids at perihelium and aphelium.

Half a million kilometres an hour!!!!!!! :eyepop:

Wow! Thanks Pierpaolo. Pretty amazing speeds. No wonder they worry about if they hit Earth. :help:

Hi Pierpaolo,

Thanks for "crunching the numbers" and for re-enforcing the Italian national obsession
for things that go fast. :thumbsup:

Ah, but with panache and elan:):)

If we get hit, I won't mind if it has " scissor doors" and a bull on the front:):P

Hi Carl,

You are undoubtedly referring to fast moving objects such as
Minor Planet 700-4 (Aventador) (http://www.aventador.com/index-eng.html).

Niiiiiiiiice one :D

That will squash the Equestria Minor Planet ;) :thumbsup:

Of course:):P

Although, it could go into orbit around the planet Veyron (http://www.bugatti.com/en/veyron-16.4.html), in the Bugatti system.
