Haven’t checked bpearthwatch or terral03/terral blackstar to see if they’re making up fantasy about this asteroid yet.
I liked how Ison, Elenin, and YU55 killed us all.
(And how they insisted that YU55 was actually one of the previous comets..)
From the article:
“So, as always, there was nothing to worry about here folks. These objects are always spotted before they cross Earth’s orbit, and their paths, periods and velocities and are known about in advance.
“Even so, it’s worth noting that an object of this size was nowhere near to be large enough to cause an Extinction Level Event.”
