Sweet meteor o’ death!
C’mon, already!
FEDs are always dangerous!....................
Eta Draconis = THE DRAGON!........................
Sooo, this is from 2011. Therefore, I feel safe in predicting that it will not hit us until after 2022.
Temperatures will be unseasonably warm 1200°F on one side of the planet, and a relatively cool 250°F on the other. Be sure to use plenty of sunscreen if you are out and about!...............
It might not reappear for centuries or millennia.
Or it could come next week...................
I tried to eat a draconis once...
But it gave you heartburn?.....................
I figger we won’t see the one that gets us until it is too late. You may enjoy this, on Netflix.

Oh, we’ll know alright.
It will be discovered by amateur astronomers all over the Earth.
What will happen when word gets out that it will definitely hit us?
Total chaos and mayhem.
In every country, every city and every neighborhood.
We may not survive even before it hits...................
I have always wondered whatever happened to humans before the last Ice Age?
People were still humans 50,000 years ago and had to have shelter, food and clothing.
Yet we find no traces of civilizations anywhere older than about 5000 years ago - 10,000 max.............................
"Evidence Found for Undiscovered Comet That May Threaten Earth""Don't worry too much"
Despite the uncertainty, Cooke said the public shouldn't get into a panic about a potential "doomsday comet."
"Does this shower indicate that a comet's going to whack Earth? I kind of doubt it," he said. "I don't think you can infer from this meteor stream that the parent comet is in a potentially hazardous orbit."
Jenniskens as well urged some perspective, drawing on history as a guide.
"Chances are very small that the comet will actually hit us, as such impacts are rare in Earth’s history," he said."

My opinion is that both Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis lived in such small colonies that no written language was needed -- and hell, that survived until mid-last century -- and that was pretty much the status quo for the 10,000 years before that. Therefore no 'traces' other than bones and whatever period artifacts the layers give up.
We, for some reason, only account for 'traces' through the earliest recorded surviving fairly organized 'language', Egyptian hieratics.
Yet we know instinctively that civilization is much older, much more organized that whatever is dispensed through the pubrik skrewel system.
To wit: the Greek civilization that produced the Antikythera Mechanism? Sorry, that means there were similar 'computers' that organized not just celestial details but daily life Before Christ.
Which, fascinatingly, makes Christ's murder a modern assassination.
The moral of the story is, let your pages do the walking through the yellow fingers. /punchline
Robert Schoch's work on the Great Sphinx and other ancient sites is going to eventually work it's way into our history books as the true story of our unknown past. What the "standard" model of history tells us in no way matches up with archeological and geological discoveries and ancient text.
Rare, slim chances, but not impossible......................
Don't eliminate the rare, slim, but not impossible possibility that an ancient civilization that had most everything we had -- minus silicon-based communication/computing devices -- bit the dust and left no trace. So much of what is right and wrong about India is based directly on this canon.
