[ Asteroid sneaks past satellites in one of the closest flybys on record ]
I blame the NRA!! The Paris Accords would have kept us safe!!
It’s time to put up “No Asteroid Area” signs all over the Solar System!!
This is obviously President Trump’s fault. And clear evidence of ... RUSSIAN COLLUSION!!!

We need better Space Intruder Detector satellites. This one comes with an outdoor gas grill. Lucas Electrics, too!

If you scroll a little down there’s a Near Earth Asteroid section and 2020 JJ was on there being tracked at 0.0 LD. There was another close one today 2020 JN that was at 0.7 LD. (Lunar Distance.)

“Close asteroid passes like this aren’t really anything worth worrying about, but it’s always worth keeping an eye on what’s going on near our planet”
The people that keep watch for these things missed it completely. Don’t worry, nuthin to see here.

I wonder if my 1980’s XJ-6 had Lucas electrical system.
Amazingly, everything worked.
But yeah, Lucas...

“Had 2020 JJ actually struck Earth, most of it probably would have burned up in the atmosphere. In other words, this space rock wasn’t any sort of existential threat, but it did fly closer than many of the satellites orbiting our planet and could have potentially struck one, creating a big mess.”
I guess, but then it’s more likely to win the multi-state Lotto.

I think that there have been closer asteroids. Berringer Crater comes to mind as one. Chenyabinsk(sp)

Depends on whether it was the size of an 18-wheeler, or more like an F-150...

That design looks suspiciously like the Starbug that Dave Lister, Arnold Rimmer, and Cat “will be” flying around in a million years from now...
