For my Dim Dem friends, this is not a real picture. |
NASA's data shows the 60-meter asteroid, spotted by Spanish
stargazers in February, will whistle by Earth in 11 months. Its trajectory will
bring it within a hair’s breadth of our planet, raising fears of a possible
collision.
The
asteroid, known as DA14, will pass by our planet in February 2013 at a distance
of under 27,000 km (16,700 miles). This is closer than the geosynchronous orbit
of some satellites.
The gravitational pull of Earth will influence this beast of a threat, greatly. Time will tell if it much of a threat. Perhaps it will either miss the earth, break up in pieces or make a direct hit on the Kremlin. all we can do is hope for the best, and read the full story here.
