And so far no systems that could deflect one of the close calls that happen every year.
On the bright side, one that size hits and the most it can do is destroy one medium size city.
Another article states that it is at 5:41 universal time or 1:41 EDT. Say a prayer just in case. ;)
The way this week is going, I’d take precautions. Especially if you life in CA...
When (not if) an asteroid strikes planet Earth, you’d better be on your knees praying to Almighty God for repentance, forgiveness, & protection.

Give it directions to Mecca.
Yawn. We have missed ones that would have killed all life on earth, and didn’t see them until they had gone by.
Talk about oops.
I wouldn’t spend a red cent on Mars base until home base is secured.
2022 will be a very interesting year!
Let’s see, five years ago it passed earth at twice the distance it will pass this time. Two numerical progressions: 2, 1, ? And 2012, 2017, ?

You beat me to it by less than a minute.
What? Does it go around the sun? That would be over 160 million miles in less than 48 hours. That can’t be right. I guess I don’t understand it’s orbit.
Article says 2079 is the year to watch. I don’t plan on being here then, but who knows?
I didn’t know that. Now I have to worry twice. lol.
What will happen in 2079, other than the solar eclipse in NYC?

Article says that a close pass in 2050 will be a miss, but the interaction of that one might cause a hit in 2079.
Nice study of path possibilities and gravity impact on future paths.
