"...and is in an orbit that takes it on a scenic tour of our solar system."

After that, it heads back toward the outer solar system...

LET’S HOPE!

Anybody here who knows about this stuff, is it possible for an undetected asteroid or meteor big enough to kill life on earth to be only a week or a month or a year away?

How good are we tracking these things? Is it possible to know for certain?

thanks

What the heck do people expect?

We have uncovered the Lizardmen attempt to take over our planet through infiltration and defeated them in this election.

Now, they’re sending for reinforcements.

It’s the Borg coming to pick

If it lands on Earth, don't get in the spaceship!

Bunch of drunk Martian teenagers.

They’re “mooning” us.

It’s the REAL “Heaven’s Gate” comet coming to take the cultists home.

NASA recently spotted two massive space objects hurtling towards Earth.

There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT! ~ Agent K

Only Doctor Hans Zarkhov, formerly at NASA, has provided any explanation.

[pfflier]

So it's not hurtling towards earth, implying the possibility of a hit.

It is traveling in a direction that will take it near earth's orbit. There is one, maybe two fractions of time, in 356.25 days where it may actually "hurtle towards earth" and it will miss earth by 32 million miles.

That isn't as dramatic as the overly sensational news headline makes it sound.

[TigersEye]

At its farthest distance from the sun, it approaches Jupiter's orbit.

After that, it heads back toward the outer solar system.

Both of those statements can't be true. Either its orbit takes it almost to Jupiter or to the outer solar system. Not both.
