2026 JH₂ has a diameter between 15 and 35 meters (49 and 110 feet).

Time to load my twice barreled shotgun.

Send Stacey Abrams and Whoopi Goldberg to crash into it and save the human race.

Honestly, slow death by the effects of a dinosaur extinction level hit would be horrible. No sewage treatment, no water, no food, gangs fighting for survival against normal people.
Would take a long time to actually die.

“Experts” keep saying the mathematical chances of a hit are low, then someone finds a surprise new object they didn’t put into the calculations.

“Between 6,100 and 17,000 meteors large enough to reach the ground strike Earth every year, which equates to roughly 17 to 47 per day.” ((Most go into the oceans or uninhabited areas of the planet.))

Sez here binoculars or small telescope will be needed.

Whale sized? Wake me up when someone finds a Rosie O’Donnel sized meteor.

[SunkenCiv]

Aiiiie... that sent a cold chill right through me...

A civilization debilitating solar pulse (think EMP) to a near extinction level event from the Sun is more likely than a killer asteroid, imo.

Those are much better tracked than they used to be. Several serious events have missed in the last several years just because they were not directly Earth directed.

I’m sure I’ll miss it. I’ll catch it streaming.

0.2LD=47,770.8 miles give or take a few. From SpaceWeather.com section Near Earth Asteroids. Worth a look.

Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time.

Good information.

I’m already a political and cultural dinosaur and don’t want to end up like the ones 66 million years ago in the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction.
