This asteroid’s closest Earth approach is roughly 149,000 miles. Dammit!

Cmon idiots. The moon is 1/4 million miles away. So this is 120 times that.

One of those (big) puppies has our name on it most likely due before the century is over, but those of us in Christ will be watching from the heavenly Mezzanine.

Didn’t the article say 149000 thousand...and the moon is 260000 or so? That is really close in astronomical terms.

I had read the 30 million # first. My bad.
We know our world is full of media ‘Crying Wolf’ over anything.

"This asteroid’s closest Earth approach is roughly 149,000 miles." The NASA programs to focus on minorities, LGBT, diversity, inclusiveness, islamophobuaia, and general wokidity can give us great confidence about anything it says or does, about dangerous objects...

Wouldn’t it burn up? Being only the size of a house?
To: dfwgator
Misread title and was about to get excited, but really it would be great if it was the right size for that whole district.

Between us and the moon - seems pretty close to me.
What sort of damage would be done if it hit the earth?
I suppose the probabilities are that it would hit in one of the oceans, but still ...

Depends on the size of the house I guess.

Moon is 250,000. 149,000 is a bit closer.

The one that exploded over Russia bit back was something like 30 to 60 feet I think. They were lucky. A house sized asteroid that impacted would pulverize everything in a half mile radius...plus of course tons of damage outside that.
To: 6ppc
Yep, inside the moon’s orbit.

On top of that, nobody saw the Chelyabinsk meteor coming. It was a complete surprise.
