| strgzr User ID: 23476006 United States10/06/2013 12:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Scientists were today warning of a possible asteroid collision with the Earth. Quoting: LeosOfTheUniverse An asteroid around two-thirds of a mile wide (1.2km) could hit the earth on March 21, 2014 and has been classified as "an event meriting careful monitoring" by astronomers. Asteroids are kept at a safe distance from Earth in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. But the gravitational influence of giant planets such as Jupiter can nudge asteroids out of these safe orbits and send them plunging into the Earth's neighbourhood.

The figured out it was not going to hit earth 10 years ago shortly after the discovery. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 46289919  United Kingdom10/06/2013 12:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What absolute bullshit. This smells like desperation. An asteroid around two-thirds of a mile wide (1.2km) could hit the earth on March 21, 2014 and has been classified as "an event (an event???) meriting careful monitoring" by astronomers. Quoting: Daily FailBut they say the probability of the asteroid hitting Earth is just 1 in 909,000 909,000? HUH? What kind of bullshit statistic generates a random number like that? Not 910,000 or 1,000,000?? Besides, a 1.2Km object is big enough to be easily visible and should have a well known & documented orbit already. F.A.I.L |
| Anonymous Coward 10/06/2013 12:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not buying any of their shit when it comes to meteors/asteroids right now... I think it's a ploy at attention diversion. Not to mention, in this day and age, an asteroid/meteor strike could easily be simulated. Hell, I've even got a thread about it here: Thread: Laser drones in space? |

Just google the asteroid's name you'll find all the data you need then you can go get a pizza like muah. |
