None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time. On October 8, 2012 there were 1331 potentially hazardous asteroids.

Hell, 20 PHA's would be scary enough.... but wow.. over 1,300!!!! I think it's safe to say the timer is ticking. It's just a matter of..... WHEN! |

Quoting: my2centsworth Now this one on the 12th.. that is 2 close ones in a matter of a few days. Wonder what else is coming our way, that we aren't aware of yet? I'm not an expert, but don't small asteroids usually accompany large ones? |

MAG is the visual magnitude of the asteroid on the date of closest approach. It is estimated that a 30-year advance warning would be required to have a reasonable assurance of deflecting a NEO from a collision with Earth. Thus, if a future impactor were identified today, the time to explore the characteristics of the NEO, develop a deflection system, deliver it to the NEO, and apply the deflection early enough to prevent an impact, requires about a 3-decade lead time.-- Mike Griffin, 2005, Testimony to Congress [link to neo.jpl.nasa.gov] |

Rabid_Wolf User ID: 16993156 United States 10/09/2012 02:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So in terms of miles, kilometres or LD's, just how close is this one expected to come? Quoting: Ozicell Most recent data(2012 TC4): AU: .000142342 OR A little over 13,000 miles. Last Edited by Rabid Wolf on 10/09/2012 02:32 AM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9231012 United States 10/09/2012 02:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Asteroid 2012 TC4, will come even closer on the night of Oct. 11-12. At 11:57 p.m. (CDT) Oct. 11, the speedy visitor will book across the sky 59,000 miles from Earth’s surface. Because of its small size – about 45 to 90 feet across – it will appear as a very faint, fast-moving star in large amateur telescopes at that time. Earlier that evening, the viewing angle will be better and 2012 TC4 will shine brighter at magnitude 13.6. This will make it a decent catch in an scopes 8-inches. [link to astrobob.areavoices.com] |
