Umm, Tesla’s death ray caused the Tunguska Explosion.
I hope a small but expensive meteor lands in my backyard.
And I don't really know why.
AOC said the end is in 2031, so this metor thingy is consistent with her story.
So the meteoroids are in danger of being struck by an Earth. You think we have problems?
Bits of Comet Encke.
“Earth is moving towards”????
I believe it’s suspected that that object was a comet, not meteor or asteroid.
I read somewhere that if the Tunguska object had hit the earth three hours later it would have hit St. Petersburg rather than a bit of uninhabited wilderness in Siberia. I don’t know if that is exactly true (that is, whether it would have hit St. Petersburg exactly or just somewhere close to it), but that could have changed a lot of world history. No WWI? No Bolshevik Revolution? No statue in Seattle of Lenin?
Hillary Clinton would definitely know how to handle this.
Yipe, maybe I’ll go to Australia to get away from it.

The moon is 380,000 km away. So the center of the swarm is almost 100 times further away.
But go ahead and have your roof reinforced, just in case. \sarc
AOC will tweet that Trump is deliberately steering Earth towards the meteor swarm and he should be impeached so we can change course.
Wouldn’t that meteor swarm be heading towards us?
*ping*
I would keep out of SF and LA and other hellholes.
meteor (n.)
late 15c., "any atmospheric phenomenon," from Old French meteore (13c.) and directly from Medieval Latin meteorum (nominative meteora), from Greek ta meteora "the celestial phenomena, things in heaven above," plural of meteoron, literally "thing high up," noun use of neuter of meteoros (adj.) "high up, raised from the ground, hanging," from meta "by means of" (see meta-) + -aoros "lifted, lifted up, suspended, hovering in air," related to aeirein "to raise" (from PIE root *wer- (1) "to raise, lift, hold suspended").
We know that "meteoric rise" refers to speed not direction, but because meteors fall, the phrase appears humorous, contraditory. Even the above etymology decribes a falling object in terms of rising.
The Hebrew word not only reflects its foreign origin (no pun intended), it ends up as a hybrid portmanteau of Gr. meta [מטא] + Heb. ohr [אור]. A meteor appears as a rod or staff of light, a mate ohr [מטה אור], also similar to the phrase mot ohr [מוט אור].
מטאור
metadata: data from data ---> meta-ohr: light from light
meta-
word-forming element of Greek origin meaning 1. "after, behind; among, between," 2. "changed, altered," 3. "higher, beyond;" from Greek meta (prep.) "in the midst of; in common with; by means of; between; in pursuit or quest of; after, next after, behind," in compounds most often meaning "change" of place, condition, etc.The Beta Taurids (ßTaurids) are an annual meteor shower belonging to a class of "daytime showers" that peak after sunrise.

2019 will be the closest post-perihelion encounter with Earth since 1975. The Taurid swarm is expected to pass 0.06 AU (9,000,000 km; 5,600,000 mi) below the ecliptic between June 23 July 17.[5]
During 2019 astronomers hope to search for hypothesized asteroids ~100 meters in diameter from the Taurid swarm between July 511, and July 21 August 10.[6] There is circumstantial evidence that the daytime June 30 Tunguska event came from the same direction in the sky as the Beta Taurids.[6] The next June close approach to the Taurid swarm is expected in 2036.[7]

The 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing is July 20th, the 17th of Tammuz. The Torah portion is Balak, in which falling is a vision of rising:
Num 24
16. The speech of one who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, who saw the vision of the Almighty falling, but having his eyes open [revealed]:
17. I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not near; there shall come a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall strike the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of Seth:
The key elements as the literal words on a letter grid (the word kokav coming out from the word Yaakov, the word shevet rising from the word Israel, Mashiach from Israel et al) are all found in a letter chart of Gen 32, in multiples. All the same chapter where Israel first appears in the Torah. You can set up a grid based on kokav at a skip of 45.
What's funny is that the place where a shevet (-35) arises from Israel (101) is on the name Esav (v.14). It's a simple letter chart. Bummer most people don't care. One word in particular stands out because it displays as multiple "meteors". Discover the unknown..
