Great catch! Glad you got that. Question is, will we chicken out over Macho Grande?

I read Crichton’s ‘Timeline’ , then saw the movie.
All they used was the title........................
Carl Sagan’s ‘Contact’ was a great novel, the movie was horrid.............the directors must have not even read the book................

Ok, I’m really bad at math. But if it’s 6 million miles away, how does it get here day after tomorrow?

“NASA’s Near Earth Object Programme puts the enormous lump of rock on course to pass within six million miles of Earth on May 14.”
So “skim the Earth” is really “pass about 24 times farther away from the earth than the Moon is.”

I thought it said it would MISS us by 6 million miles.

skim the Earth ... from six million miles away.
Note the hyperbolic, almost breathless language. This is yellow journalism at its worst.

Two things make this article and its panic instilling tone ridiculous:
1. The picture is definitely not to scale as the asteroid in the picture is about 1/8 the size of earth or about 1,000 miles wide if my grade school science memory has not failed me.
2. 6,000,000 miles is almost 20 times further away than the moon.
Color me unimpressed.

Why is NASA watching Asteroids in space? Isn’t it their mission to make mooselimbs feel better about themselves?
