I have to admit that I don't know very much about orbits or anything but I
am always open to learning new stuff. Actually, I love it! With that being
said, being as how we have a rough idea of the orbit that Farmington had
before it hit earth as well as knowing the orbit of the BETA Taurids (thank
you for the correction on that one) how close are the two? That should be a
good way to tell if they are connected, correct? Also, I know that the
direction the Tunguska impactor was traveling has been determined as well as
a good idea at what angle it was coming in at. How close to the two
previously mentioned orbits does that come?
Sorry if this stuff is too out there for anyone but hey, like I said
earlier, I always like to learn new things.
Thanks to all who have taken part of this discussion as well as the people
who have put up with it,
Rhett Bourland
