It is similar to seeing an aircraft’s lights at night off in the distance. Can you tell the wingspan of the aircraft ?

In our modern, technologically advanced world, those things are not used anymore.

Due to greed, we are now consigned to two widths of shoe. Narrow and Wide. Sometimes there is only one width.

And if its conductive it could be “reflecting” 300% of the light hitting it like a giant arc lamp.

“..12ft to 91ft meters wide.”
“..distance of 3.12 million miles away.”
“.. tens of millions of kilometers.”
“.. within 302,000 miles.”

Boy, this science talk is really confusing, it must take years of college to learn how to sort this all out.

Naaah, I’m preparing for the past, I like it better.

What's a ft meter?

That's the unit of measure we use when we want to crash a Mars Lander.

There is no weight in space.

Run Forest, run!

[CodeJockey]

its size could be anything from 12ft to 91ft meters wide

Stopped reading at that sentence.

I just got done placing plywood over my windows.

What happens here as the value of C approaches 0?

CA...

“Talk about something else that’s falling from the sky
and that is an asteroid. What’s coming our way? Is this
an effect of, perhaps, of global warming, or is this just
some meteoric occasion?” - CNN’s Deborah Feyerick

Rusty: Hey, ya’ got Pac Man?
Cousin Dale: No.
Rusty: Ya’ got Space Invaders?
Cousin Dale: Nope.
Rusty: Ya’ got Asteroids?
Cousin Dale: Naw, but my dad does. Can’t even sit on the toilet some days.

If that wasn’t enough, the spooky skull-shaped asteroid that passed by on Halloween is coming back round for another pass on Sunday.

Had me worried for a minute until I saw it was Halloween
2015.

An earth crossing asteroid with a period of 9 days would have been unusual.

Or it could be tomorrow. No way to know.

“While rocks raining from space are scary and there is no way to completely eliminate their threat, they are also thankfully sporadic. Your odds of getting killed by a meteorite are roughly 1 in 250,000. You are far more likely to die in an earthquake, tornado, flood, airplane crash, or car crash (but less likely to be killed by lightning). “
