The lamestreamers have screwed the pooch yet again with their misreportage of the pass-by meteoroid. It passed within approx. 25,000 of earth. This is 1 CIRCUMFERENCE of the planet, not 1 DIAMETER. In short, the booboisie of the 'press', in reporting this event, is in pure error by a factor of 3.1416 (approx.).
Why even read/listen to these thrombotics?
The circumference is the distance around a circle. The diameter is the distance across a circle.
Why would a distance be given in circumference?
That's just stupid.
And yes.... aprox... 22K miles is the circumference.
I don't why why I question the media... my 5 year old grandson is more technically accurate on almost everything than they are.
