À partir de 23h23 précisément, un phénomène incroyable va se produire dans l’espace ce mercredi 19 avril. “Un astéroïde va frôler la Terre et en braquant un télescope en direction de la Grande ours, on va pouvoir l’observer, c’est le plus gros qui passe depuis 13 ans“, explique Jean-Christophe Batteria.
An asteroid phenomenon is going to play out in space tonight and can be caught on telescope on in the direction of the great bear. It is the biggest to pass the earth for thirteen years.
Y a-t-il un risque de collision ? Is there a risk of collision?
La NASA est formelle, il n’y a aucun risque de collision, car “cet astéroïde est bien surveillé“. Pourtant en ce moment même il “fonce à 100 000km/h vers nous, soit 802 fois la vitesse d’une balle de fusil“, affirme Jean-Christophe Batteria qui ajoute que s’il y avait un impact, cela détruirait la surface d’un pays comme la Belgique. Cet astéroïde va passer à 1,8 million de kilomètres de la Terre. Aucun risque donc “car c’est cinq fois la distance Terre-lune“, conclut le journaliste.
“This asteroid is being well monitored as it travels at a speed of 100,000kms/hr or 802 times the speed of a bullet, however there is no risk of a collision with Earth.” Said Jean-Christophe Batteria who added that if it did hit it would destroy a surface the size of Belgium. The asteroid will pass at 1.8 million kms from Earth, being five times the distance Earth-Moon.
About bill
Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer.
The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013.
Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI.
Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug
2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website.
But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien.
The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50.
Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea.
Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
