Newly discovered Near Earth Asteroid 2012 EG5 to pass April 1, 2012 only .6 LD from Earth
This is sort of creeping me out. When I saw this listed on SpaceWeather earlier today I clicked on the link to NASA JPL and got a virus.

Just now I googled 2012 EG5 and got redirected.

SpaceWeather is showing the size to be 65 meters and .6 LD from Earth on April 1st. I can't seem to research this more since I'm getting viruses and redirected.

The Asteroid was discovered 2 days ago. Can someone please let us know if this is something to be concerned about?

Since I'm not a guru on astronomy I would love for someone to chime in on this. I thought I remembered reading one time that the asteroid that made the Grand Canyon was 80 meters. Don't hold me to that though!

If I Google anything regarding asteroid, I get redirected. I can't post any links to back this up and this is stumping me. This is why I wish someone could attempt to research this and post.

I had one of those dreams where you're completely aware and walking around like it's real life and seen a fucking huge wall of water.

It was about a mile away from my house roughly, and I know the area VERY well.

It was like a clone of the area although I had a feeling of knowing the game was up and it wasn't even worth running, then seen water like what, say 1000 ft tall just moving towards me and a feeling of knowing there was nothing that could be done.

Was kind've fucked up.


I get a few dreams like that.

Do you get lucid dreams often? When I do, I'm always in a place that the colors look so bright they're like neon lights and the place I'm in is familiar but yet almost like another planet. Weird.

0.7 Lunar Distance is very far.


But even if it does impact, it's only 65 meters wide. Almost no effects...

I don't get lucid dreams every night / week or even maybe month...

It's just most times I wake up like normal, remember tiny bits from my dreams..

Other times I wake up and it's like I've just watched a movie at a glance and remember certain segments.. like scenes..

Kind've hard to explain. :)

Honestly I have no idea. When I attempted to Google search this asteroid earlier today, I was reading that it could be over 89 meters but when I clicked on the link to read it, I got the virus.

What stinks is that I can't embed a link here for anyone to research since I'm getting the redirect on my end. Wasn't YU55 more like 3 LD away and people were freaking out then about an near miss?? This one, although only 65 to 80 meters or whatever it ACTUALLY is, doesn't seem very large but a direct hit would be like 1000 atomic bombs wouldn't it?

213.25 feet long, pretty good sized space rock, but seems to be far enough away to not be a threat as long as something unforeseen doesn't happen like it gets hits by another asteroid and bumps it our way.

213 feet would be a city buster if it made it through the atmosphere intact.
