In this pic the asteriod is spot on. The backround is moving but the asteriod is on a direct path to earth + 50.000 miles. Astronomers must have some very good instrumentation to estimate so precisely.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8598974 in this photo we can see some smaller dots arount the big
dot who is the asteroid
every other object in the backround,stars planets or whatever, are like lines because as the telescope follows
the moving of the asteroid (steady Dot)the stars look like moving (lines)
*Every dot* in this photo is *Moving together and in the same direction with the asteroid* means we have *Fragments* here small but dangerous because the asteroid can escape from the gravity of earth considering his mass with his spead and his inertia, But...
a smaller fragment with lesser mass and inertia could be
easily captured by earths gravity and create an impact on the surface
considering the size of the dots, some meters (5 to 10),
one of them can wiped out a town
This Is a Warning of *Possible* fragment impact
