And we’re lucky that it isn’t, because back in 1998 when NASA first discovered the asteroid, they concluded that it is “large enough to cause global effects” if it was to hit Earth, CNN reported.
Although this isn’t the biggest asteroid to enter Earth’s orbit, it is the largest one to pass in the next two months. The title of the largest asteroid to ever come close belongs to 3122 Florence, which was discovered in 1981 and narrowly missed Earth by about seven million kilometres — only 18 times the distance between Earth and the moon — on Sept. 1, 2017, with a diameter between 4.4 and eight kilometres wide. It is expected to boomerang back near Earth again in 2057.
If the Trudeau Libs were saying it won’t hit us, I’d be extremely concerned. Every day is Backwards Day for them.
It's too bad it's going to miss us, we need another asteroid hit to cause another ice age to get it through this pesky global warming
Maybe if we all jump up and down at the same time we can veer into the asteroid's path.
Its good to read such articles which act as a reminder that we are but a speck of dust in this big wide and ever expanding universe.
Dman to bad
