Ya... I know. But I still thought it was funny!

Should have looked before I asked. Thanks. I would be interested in seeing a longer time base though. I wonder how far back accurate statistics are available.
Hope that gusty solar wind doesn’t put the asteroid off course.
And islands can capsize if one side becomes overly populated.
Wouldn’t that be something if after Obama “hilarioulsly***” joked about no asteroids falling the day after healthcare, we get an ALGORE-EFFECT asteroid/meteor storm....
***by cued, laughing planted audience standards...
If this is as common as he claims, then when was the last time we had a significant impact of an asteroid on the moon?
It would seem as if 71 foot asteroids traveling between the earth and moon would occasionally hit one or the other.
Ya... I know. But I still thought it was funny!
Asteroids below a certain size would break up in the atmosphere.
Oooops it wasn’t supposed to work like that....
Wormwood?
LOL - I would have paid to see that happen.
Quick. Where’s my Preparation H ....?
They get hammered by guess what? 'a burdonsome stone crashes into two parts. One lands in the Med another lands on these muslims apostate's. How's that for handling islamoterrorism?
The much more important number, total deaths! This year is remarkable for a 300% increase in quake mortality. Already, 2010 is only surpassed by 4,000 deaths occuring during the whole of 2004. With 2/3rds of this year yet to be counted, woe to those who are living outside of God's good grace's. Woe!
Woe, to the follower's of the false 'profit mohammed', his false messiah 'Barry' and their phony moon god; allah.
Estimated Deaths
2000 231 deaths
2001 21357 deaths
2002 1685 deaths
2003 33819 deaths
2004 228802 deaths
2005 82364 deaths
2006 6605 deaths
2007 712 deaths
2008 88011 deaths
2009 1787 deaths
2010 223140 deaths
A lot of the known near Earth asteroids appear to be burned-out comet nuclei with an albedo lower than anthracite coal. In other words, they are VERY hard to detect.
What if there are companion objects that we have not detected?
A newly discovered asteroid... even though it is passing within the orbit of the moon... poses no threat of crashing into our planet... The asteroid, called 2010 GA6, is a relatively small space rock about 71 feet wide...

I guess it’s a good thing it wasn’t a 71 MILE wide asteroid, that was going to hit us TOMORROW.
It’s comforting to know they can see these things and tell us about them so far in advance. lol
I hope we have a better warning for the one that hits us.
AFAIK, 1178, but some dispute that one.
