RECORD-SETTING ASTEROID FLYBY!
Anonymous Coward User ID: 6406905 Canada 01/29/2013 08:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	RECORD-SETTING ASTEROID FLYBY! On Feb. 15th an asteroid about half the size of a football field will fly past Earth closer than many man-made satellites. Since regular sky surveys began in the 1990s, astronomers have never seen an object so big come so close to our planet. [link to science.nasa.gov]

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27760252 "Yeomans estimates that an asteroid like 2012 DA14 flies past Earth, on average, every 40 years, yet actually strikes our planet only every 1200 years or so." Key words there. An asteroid LIKE 2012 DA14 strikes our planet every 1200 years or so, but one LIKE 2012 DA14 flies past us like 2012 DA14 is about to do every 40 years or so.

What part of the earth will be able to see it? Quoting: bobobibi I cover that starting at about 6:10 here: Asia and the middle east get the best view (Europe gets a decent look as well). Western US gets left out of the picture pretty much altogether. Last Edited by Astromut on 01/29/2013 06:46 PM
