It will not hit the earth, but what it might do is take out a few satellites which hopefully will burn up as they fall back into the atmosphere.
Quoting: CowgirlK It would be extremely unlikely that it would hit any, but if it did the debris would be at very high altitudes and remain up there for millenia. That's the real problem, in fact. Don't panic! Maybe Trin will turn on the telescope for us so we can all sit back and watch the show.
Quoting: cowgirlThe wrong side of earth will be facing the close approach unfortunately. Thanks Astro! As you know, it's amazing how much space junk is circling the planet. As far as the approach goes, I wish it was on our side. Wouldn't it be cool if NASA could embed a cam on the asteroid so our eyes could hitch a ride into space. :)
