[quote:Anonymous Coward 16674316:MV8yMDY0MzU5XzM0OTcyNzcyXzFFQjlFQTZB] 29 days to go. It should be visible in a few days, but you will have to look at the sun to see it. It will be coming to Earth from our south pole. Its trajectory should be curved towards Earth from its near miss of the sun as our orbit takes us closer to the Big Rock. In other words, we are headed towards it and it is headed towards us. IF the sun does not destroy the rock, the impact will be similar to that in the Yucatan 65 Million years ago. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080505120702.htm [/quote]
Original Message
He was drunk and asked me not to tell people this, but when he was drunk, he said that on the other side of the sun, rapidly closing to a Solar miss that will be about as far out as Mercury there is a large space body about three miles in length. If calculations are right, it will sweep past the sun, and be curved directly towards the earth. He thinks it will hit Earth but the exact time and place can only be determined by checking its path after it is leaving the sun and headed toward us
Are there any other astronomers who have been searching for asteroids in that area in space?
If it is going to pass as close as Mercury, why can't the sun just suck it in.
Personally, I think he was just talking shit because of the alcohol.
