Hmm, what’s more reliable, some dumbass who thinks he has psychic powers, or actual scientific measurements of an asteroid’s orbit? I’m going with “actual scientific measurements of an asteroid’s orbit.” And I’m right. The asteroid missed earth exactly as predicted, and I even photographed it myself:

The asteroid is the dashed line from six stacked exposures, the solid line is a Delta 1 rocket body from 1972. I’m sure the flat earth contingent of Free Republic will be along any minute now to tell me how my image is fake because satellites don’t exist... and they probably don’t think asteroids do either.

I follow it because it interests me, not because I think it’s more accurate.

This composite of 30 images of asteroid 2014 JO25 was generated with radar data collected,
using NASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar in California’s Mojave Desert on Tuesday April 18.
