A newly discovered asteroid will zip close by Earth Thursday, but poses no threat of crashing into our planet even though it is passing within the orbit of the moon.
The asteroid, called 2010 GA6, is a relatively small space rock about 71 feet wide and was discovered by astronomers with the Catalina Sky Survey in Tucson, Az. The space rock will fly within the orbit of the moon when it passes Earth Thursday at 7:06 p.m. EDT (2306 GMT), but NASA astronomers said not to worry...the planet is safe.

This too...
NOAA forecasters estimate a 45% chance of geomagnetic activity and a 10% chance of severe geomagnetic storms around the Arctic Circle during the next 24 hours. The source of this activity is a fast and gusty solar wind stream that has been blowing around Earth for two days. [

“Fly bys of near-Earth objects within the moon’s orbit occur every few weeks,” said Don Yeomans of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., in a statement.
Never mind.

NOVA had a TV program on this week that detailed the history of telescopes. Fascinating. It is amazing how powerful telescopes have become in the recent past.

“the planet is safe”
well, duh...
“the planet” will not be “destroyed” until God Himself decides it’s time to remake it.

But there is a 99 44/100% chance it will crash into the White House. BumRocks attract each other. Courtesy of out-of-business NASA`s parting shot.

I would love to see a graphic displaying the frequency of earthquakes over the past 100 years. I suspect there is nothing unusual going on but I’d like to see some hard data on it.
