Around 3 a.m. (CDT) tomorrow morning April 21, a 50-foot-wide asteroid will hurdle just 0.2 lunar distances or 45,600 miles over your bed.
The Mt. Lemmon Survey, based in Tucson, Arizona, snagged the space rock Saturday. 2015 HD1 is about as big as a full grown T-rex through not nearly as scary, since it will safely miss Earth … but not by much.

Full on impact by one of these deep space travelers might just cause a real issue instead of the current faux agw bs that’s costing us a lot of money to try to fix something we have no control over. Don’t need a scientist to figure this crap out. Oh, and to all the erf lovers that went to the mall on this past Saturday, thanks for cleaning up after yourselves. Asshats.
Just waiting until that gets garbled into "An asteroid the size of Texas..."

I think the Cheyablinsk (sp) asteroid was about 50 feet.
I watched a documentary last night called “Third Rock from the Sun.” In it, Professor Richard Solomon, PhD, said that a giant meteorite would strike Earth this year.
The meteor that hit at Winslow was about 100 feet. Man, what a hole in the ground.
If true, we don’t have to worry about saving for retirement anymore.
Wow! Less than 6 earth-diameters away. That is REALLY close!
Is that the one that popped over Russia? Can’t remember but that was pretty spooky from the video I saw.
Italian astronomer Gianluca Masi will once again fire up his telescope to provide live views of 2015 HD1 on his Virtual Telescope Project website today April 20 starting at 4 p.m. CDT (21:00 UT). So if you like, you can get a gander after all.
And was previously unknown
until April 18, 2015
Yeah, supposed to wipe us all out on 9/24/2015.
That does it. I’m buying Johnny Walker Black Label tonight.
