[quote:Isis One:MV8xNDQ3NzA2XzM3OTc5NjMzXzk2QjM1RDEx] [quote:whiteangel:MV8xNDQ3NzA2XzM3OTQ5MTAwXzY2NzgzMzNE] Just read about this asteroid. The first half of the article makes it sound darned scary and then goes on to state is won't hit Earth. Why give the scary story first and then the calming? Red flag went up for me because of this. *Snip* [i]Asteroid 9 times size of ocean liner approaches Earth! The 1998 QE2 asteroid has the physical mass to potentially deliver life on Earth a knockout punch, being 2.7km in length. It is to buzz our planet on May 31, aweing the stargazing community. Officially known as Asteroid 1998 QE2, the âminor planetâ, as astronomers refer to these space objects, is about nine times the length of its name-sharing ocean liner, Queen Elizabeth 2. The incoming space object is not named in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, however, nor the 12-deck QE2 luxury liner. Itâs simply the designation assigned by the US Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, based on an alphanumeric code for naming newly-discovered asteroids. Aside from the asteroidâs hulking mass, another thing that intrigues astronomers about QE2 is that nobody can say with any certainty where it came from. One clue to its origins, however, is that its surface is said to be covered with a sticky, black residue, suggesting that it may be the remains of a comet that came in close proximity to the sun, Amy Mainzer, a researcher at Jet Propulsion Laboratory at La Cañada Flintridge, California, told the Los Angeles Times.[/i] http://rt.com/news/qe2-asteroid-approach-earth-469/ Went over to Space Weather to find out how close they are saying: 1998 QE2 - May 31 - [b][color=red]15.2 LD[/color][/b] - 2.1 km Surprised at 15 LD it even had its own article, I guess size does matter. Now with all that said and pointing to them watching it on telescope and keeping an eye on things..... [b][color=red]Put a telescope on ISON and leave it there !!!! [/color][/b] :cute: :ohyeah: [/quote] How bout them referring to it as "nine times the size of an ocean liner" and the comets name is QE-2 (which is the actual name of an actual HUGE OCEANLINER?????) in plain site, right? http://www.cunard.com/cruise-ships/queen-mary-2/ hmmm....seems the QE-2 is at sea currently...I won't even type the words.....

For anyone interested in Earthquake predictions:
I guessed 2 that have hit by looking at the above link and seeing a pattern. I'm talking above 4.0 Mags. Please take a look and tell me where you think the next one is going to be and why.
