Excellent choice of music for the last selection ever heard! :)

Where did they put the speakers though?

A stripe of red dots shows the "risk corridor" for a hypothetical asteroid strike, part of an
exercise held by planetary defense experts in which they analyze data about a fictional
asteroid this week. Landsat / Copernicus/Google Earth / Dept of State Geographer

I wonder if the government would react differently to a simulated strike if the trajectory would take it toward Tallahassee?

If this were an actual asteroid impact, the trail of dots would be brown, not red..

Call me paranoid and you might be just a little bit right lol, but I’ve had the sneaking suspicion for years now that we’re heading into an era of heightened risk of asteroid strike. I think that Mayan calendar deal was tied to it, their ages ended when the planet entered this, it’s cyclical and could be known.
