Asteroid Set For Near Miss
NASA say that the 100 metre wide asteroid could skim Earth by as much as 3 miles
However they also say that it could be as far as 9 million miles.
There is a small chance that it could hit as well.
The asteroid will pass on 8th of March 2016 but its the return journey that may pose a problem in 2017.
Hold on a minute
Their figures are not very comforting are they

Its quite a big asteroid and if it hits Earth it will be like a massive atom bomb exploding.
And more to the point...................

Re: Asteroid Set For Near Miss
it makes you wonder.
They have just found another planet in our solar system.
I have lost faith in these people now.
I thought we understood all about near Earth objects and their movements.
"It might hit", "it might not" is not good information

If it hits North Korea I don't think anyone would be bothered.
David Bowie has died - what more can I say
Re: Asteroid Set For Near Miss
Lets hope it doesn't hit because something that big would do some damage to say the least.
Re: Asteroid Set For Near Miss
The asteroid will fly by on Sunday and we have been told not to panic
