Lucifer's Hammer comes to mind.

Oh, it'll never hit the Earth.

...

Oh, it could, but the chances are very small.

...

Erm, right, ok, there's a pretty good chance it'll hit us.

...

Red alert, get your survival kits ready.

What's that light in the sky?

The average interval between impacts of this size somewhere on Earth is 235.2 years

Tunguska was bad, very bad.

If it would have happened over New York City, it would have flattened all buildings within 830 square miles.

Tungusta was more likely to have been the Death Ray trial run by Nicola Tesla. No meteor was ever found in the ground to prove it was the cause.

2012 DA14 will miss Earth by a almost
the distance to the moon or 0.09 LD

AND even if it DID hit the Earth it would
be a city or county or small state killer
but it is too small to do huge damage because
it is only 57 meters wide.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31217084


0.09 LD is not "almost the distance to the moon" it is actually very close to earth. You might be thinking 0.90 LD...that would be almost the distance to the moon.

why doesnt the Earth gravity pull it in?
 Quoting: MONSTER


Well I could spend weeks trying to teach a course on celestial mechanics, but in short, it's traveling above earth's escape velocity and its trajectory does not bring it close enough to earth to experience atmospheric drag, let alone impact. Earth's gravity will affect its orbit, but it will not "pull it in."
 Quoting: Dr. Astro


is it not so that this close pass could change the orbit in such a way that it hits us next time around? earths gravity pulling the object through the metaphorical keyhole etc etc, next pass go boom?

Next pass has already been ruled out as a "boom," the first possible impact isn't till about 2027 and is extremely unlikely. Even all possible future impacts cumulatively this rock has extremely low odds of hitting us, there are much more likely threats out there (comparitively).

And for the record, my personal interest right now is focused on a rock that has been lost since 1979. It seems to be a biggun, over 600 meters wide. An impact is extremely unlikely (something like 1 in 4 million or so) and doesn't occur until 2056, but can't be ruled out since we have essentially no idea about where in its orbit it currently is; it's lost.

600 Meters thats... almost 2000 feet wide (1968ft)... or almost 4 tenths of a mile...

and yeah its unlikely that it will hit us...

But its lost... thats worth checking into...

A person could get into all kinds of crazy on the speculation of why its lost...

but i think finding it would be a endeavor worth partaking. The GLPers who can... should band together and look for it... best I can do is stand in my yard with binoculars or point lol lol lol so im useless

IT IS DOOM FOR NOBODYS PREDICTIONS THIS IS ALL
 Quoting: M 18996828


Actually this asteroid was talked about on GLP a while back. Astro did post that it wouldn't hit earth but that it stands a chance of hitting a satellite... he showed the trajectory of the astroid and where all the satellites would be... he could see one or two close calls with satellites.. I went into my active threads looking for Astro's post, but it's already been cleared out and don't remember what the thread title was.

Astro also mentioned that if.. very small if, one of the satellites did get hit there is a chance that the debris from that satellite could then also hit other satellites.
