I remember in 1992, asteroid Toutatis, had it come 6 hours later, it would of hit Earth. Anyways, this asteroid will not hit us. Too bad, I won't be able to see it through my telescope. I have seen bright comets before and they are really cool. On January 7, 2005, Comet Machholz will be right by the Pleiades star cluster in Taurus. A sight to see.
Comet Machholz.

This asteroid won't hit Earth. There are plenty of asteroids out in our Solar System, known as Near Earth Object (NEO). Sometimes in the future, an asteroid or comet may hit Earth and have catastrophic results. That is where astronomers, professional and amateurs come in hand, looking for asteroids with telescopes and CCD cameras.

If an asteroid like this does hit us, then all this worrying will have done us no good at all because we will all be dead.

How will it affect the polls.Jimmy Carter will declare that all those killed by the asteroid would have voted for Kerry, but were disenfranchised.

It's overcast here, the remnants of Jeanne. But thanks for the picture in the absence of a clear sky.

Astronomers know of no such impending doom.
If they did, do you suppose they would tell us?
