A small asteroid the size of a bus will make an extremely close approach to Earth on Thursday (July 7), passing within just 56,000 miles (90,000 kilometers)...And just a few days ago, no one knew it was coming
The asteroid, named 2022 NF, is expected to pass safely by our planet, according to calculations by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Astronomers discovered the sneaky asteroid using data from the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) — a system of cameras and telescopes based in Hawaii with the primary goal of detecting near-Earth objects, or NEOs. On July 4, researchers identified the object and calculated its approximate size and trajectory, estimating that the space rock measured between 18 and 41 feet wide (5.5 meters and 12.5 meters) at its longest dimension.
Because of its diminutive size, 2022 NF does not fit NASA's criteria for a "potentially hazardous asteroid," which generally must measure at least 460 feet (140 meters) long and pass within 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km) of Earth, according to Live Science's sister site Space.com. While the newly detected asteroid will sail well within that distance, it is much too small to be considered an existential threat to Earth.

Is that from the Negro Space Program?

Buckle up back there, we’re going into…”Hyperactive”!
I hope Justin Castreau, Jagmeet Singh, and d’Ottawa Mayor ‘Whipper Billy’, er, ‘Sniveling Jimmy’ Watson are able to catch that bus.
Yes. The NASSA program.
The Magic Bus.😜
And bingo, just like that we have a new category of asteroids!
Revelation 8 v8: The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea.
Yeah, I’ll be pretty wild. They did want God’s protection and they certainly won’t have it in the tribulation. (Meanwhile we’ll be safe like Noah’s family in the “ark” with Christ in Heaven.)
“(Meanwhile we’ll be safe like Noah’s family in the “ark” with Christ in Heaven.)”
Amen to that Brother. That asteroid or comet hitting the ocean will definitely affect all the Earth and its inhabitants.
I’ll be glad to be out of here by then.
See you there Bro, for the greatest party ever held - the seven-year Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And no matter how much we eat and drink, we can’t get fat and we’ll be drunk with joy. Can’t wait for that one.
Thanks BenLurkin.
