    Dont forget guys


    there is an asteroid on its way. On monday, it will pass within 7500 m of the earth

    thats close.


    Scientists have predicted that if it gets deflected, and lands in Liverpool , Englandland, it could cause up to 1 billion pounds worth of improvements

          Seven thousand five hundred metres is indeed close

          Luckily, it's only the size of two or three double-decker buses. So it'll be like the usual Monday morning scenario of several objects having the dimensions of a bus zooming past without stopping

            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Nice, although in that zoomed in view it seems as if the asteroid's path is almost perpendicular to the ecliptic, coming from nowhere and disappearing into the void. A more zoomed out view is also illuminating, as it shows that the asteroid is an earth companion, travelling in roughly the same plane and orbit as the earth and at roughly the same speed. But if so does raise the question why it's not been seen before and when we are likely to get another close encounter.

              It would be great if it hit the moon, or could be captured.

                Great view - looking at it that way you can see the chances of an asteroid hitting the earth are like a hundred, thousand, million chances in o.^%4$

                  I think the OP meant miles, not metres
                  (being old he was probbly in school before all this decimalisation and metricalisation nonsense)

                    All it takes is a slight wobble in the earths orbit ....

                    Quickly .... everybody go to china and jump up and down .....

                    I cant wait for an apocalypse such as a metroid strike. I can kill my neighbours and people I dont like in the mayhem ...
