Earth will experience a close encounter of an asteroid that will pass by in March.
How close exactly?
The moon is 384,400 kilometers from the earth and this asteroid will pass by at approximately 11,000 kilometers, 95% closer than the Big Cheeze!
This asteroid, named 2013 TX68, was discovered three years ago. The NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey tracked the past for only three days before it entered daytime skies, which limits monitoring. Due to the short time of observation, the scientists were not able to get a greater awareness of the what this asteroid’s orbit looks like.
Though the observation window was short, what knowledge was gleaned was that the asteroid is 100 feet in diameter and will be hanging out in Earth’s “neighborhood” for quite a while.
On the next page, read about the unpredictability of this asteroid’s orbit and what NASA is saying about 2013 TX68’s earth flyby due in March of 2016.
Less than 3miles ought to be pretty good viewing
Not if it is moving. It could hit the moon… I am looking it up now…
next time one will hit the oceon,rev:8
God is not in control !
I agree
getting close
If your god is in control please ask him to drop that on ISIS. Thanks in advance.
Only 11000 miles! Holy$#%&!@*that’s so……………..close!
Only 100 feet in diameter, so the atmosphere would burn much of it up if not break it up. Still could hit with roughly the force of and automic bomb, enough to wipe out a city perhaps, if it hit in the right place….
We won’t b so lucky w Planet X, Niribu or what NASA is just now telling us about another planet.. They r calling it planet 9…
