$1: Nearly one hundred known asteroids are set to fly past Earth before the end of 2021, NASA says, but asteroid 231937 is set to be the largest and fastest. However, NASA says the asteroid’s orbit is well known and poses no threat to humans. According to the space agency, the asteroid will make is closest approach at 16:03 UTC (11:03 a.m. EST), at over two million kilometres away from Earth. NASA notes that this is nearly five times farther than the distance the moon orbits Earth. It will be close but not nearly close enough. |

There’s another asteroid doing a flyby today called Apophis 99942. This time it’s 44 lunar distances out. When it passes again in 2029 it’ll be at the same distance as a lot of our geosynchronous satellites. |

xerxes xerxes: There’s another asteroid doing a flyby today called Apophis 99942. This time it’s 44 lunar distances out. When it passes again in 2029 it’ll be at the same distance as a lot of our geosynchronous satellites. According to NASA and other agencies, Apopohis has a zero rating on the Torino Impact scale, so in theory we shouldn't have to worry too much, aside from the possibility of losing a satellite or two. Just to be sure, Goldstone Deep Space Radar is going to track it's orbit and refine the calculations just in case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis Sorry Thanos... |

I'd more than accept my painful fiery death in the impact shockwave if it was assured to me that Asteroid Apophis was going to nail Mar-A-Lago on the same weekend that the All-Grifter's Golf Tournament was going to be held.

xerxes xerxes: Thanos Thanos: And the anticipation unfortunately has to continue for a while longer.... Maybe next time if we’re lucky. It sure would make all this other bullshit we're dealing with seem like nothing eh? I just hope that if one is destined to hit us we hear about it beforehand. I can see that type of information maybe being covered up to prevent chaos. |
