Title: Close Call Post by: meQal on March 04, 2009, 08:17:22 AM NASA's Jet Propulsion Labratories is reporting a asteroid about the same size as the one that exploded over Siberia a century ago came with in 48,800 miles of Earth. That is twice the height of orbit for most sattilites and one fith the distance to the moon.

They have a program tracking all the potential dinosaur-killers for at least the next 100 years. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ Here's a table of all the incoming high-risk asteroids to feed your worries: http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/ Title: Re: Close Call Post by: Jack on March 04, 2009, 08:37:49 AM They only spotted it two days ago! Yikes!
Well, it would have certainly given us all (hopefully ALL of us :teddyr: ) something to talk about I guess. |
