I've been following the asteroid story off and on. The two parts that concern me (other than annihilation)are:

1) the "Snowball" intercept (it seems valid)
2) reportedly several hundred or more specialists are tracking things from Antarctica? I'd like to know if that could be verified. Why would they want to track the object from that location?

Antarctica? .... Why would they want to track the object from that location?


Maybe better visibility because of less interference from man made lights?
