Asteroid : one of the closest approaches to the planet ever recorded.

Featured Replies

An asteroid the size of a small truck will pass by Earth tonight, making one of the closest approaches to the planet ever recorded.

Asteroid 2023 BU will zoom over the southern tip of South America at about 12.27am on Friday, only 2,200 miles above the Earth’s surface.

It will be well within the orbit of the planet’s satellites, Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said.

 

Quick, what's the diameter of a small truck?

So much for Space Force, this was discovered by an amateur sky watcher! 

It’s been mentioned here for the last 48 hours the USA has been aware hopefully next time one comes close they can do a deflection shot on it like they did a few months ago as an experiment on that other one

It's called fear mongering to steal your hard earned tax dollars, just like all news.  Humans will self destruct before anything hits the earth.

 

"This asteroid is one of the most likely to hit Earth. Here’s what it means for our future.

New ultraprecise measurements show that the asteroid Bennu has a higher chance than thought of impacting our planet sometime in the next 300 years, NASA says."

The West is too preoccupied with promoting war in The Ukraine to notice.

That’s worthy of a prize for the most obtuse wedging of an off topic fixation into a thread.

To the poster who says west promoting Ukraine war, how would you like Russia to invade the country you are in

then lie to say they are only there to protect you from some very bad people. It is time for Russia to get out of the country of Ukraine

and stop this war that they have started. Get it? I hope so.

Has it ever occurred to that you need to read the thread title and comment on that , rather than just posting random statements in threads about any given subject ?

He was replying to another member's off topic post. Why didn't you complain about that?

How about you complaining about that post rather than complaining about my post ?
