i can get you the ' rich dad poor dad ' book for 7$ + full psychology book , DM me

Will it hit next time round?

How big?

You mean the small ones before the behemoth?

Strictly, it's not flying, it's in free fall.

How

Don't look up😉

Safely by? Dogdammit...

Oh please, now huge asteroid.

DONT LOOK UP

Don't worry about close encounters with asteroids; worry about my mother-in-law. When she gets up in the morning and her feet hit the floor, the devil says, 'Oh crap; she's up!'

WOW !

why report about asteroids that are no way passing near the Earth?

That asteroid is filled with metals like gold, copper, platinum, to name a few.

Don't look up DontLookUp

Errr..'...flies will fly...'? Im sure they will, i suspect that is their job description...;)

Asteroid

More lies to scare the NASA globeheads.🤡🤡🤡🤡

How much is one of those worth?

This picture is misleading. At its nearest approach, the asteroid will still be over 100 earth diameters away.

This is the one they should have tried to deflect. They could have seen results much faster..

any real videos of it yet?

Amazing

Next orbit? Catch it for the new orbiting station, collide some other space rocks to a predictable orbit. A new moon closer usable land?

'Safely' God Dammit, Asteroid! YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!

the struggle is real...

that stutter of yours does nothing to allay my fear.

Mick_H1889 Dad get ya telescope out see if you can see it tonight 🔭

Hopefully it gets a nudge towards us :P

Any chance it could hit MaraLago?

Our last hope

Shiiiiiit another miss ishagshafeeg

🥺😩 go away

What happened if an huge Astoriaed smashed on earth can u save the earth

😒

CGI

Remember, the asteroid that will kill you, me and everyone else, will not be seen.

It’s not important. Further than the moon.

I not gonna lie, I was a pretty stellar astroids player in the 80s let me know if you need me to suit up

have we ever thought of putting a robot on one of this and ride it to see where it goes?

Almost perfectly photoshop

A little proof reading wouldn't hurt. Flies will fly . . . . Ha ha ha ha ha .

don't look up folks

How sure are we that Asteroids can't make a hard turn? 😂

Closest approach is a million miles, 4x farther than the moon. The Earth would be the size of a coin held at arms length, NOT filling the sky as you've mislead. Be accurate or don't attempt to repost science news.

Universe is full of beautiful stones that's my favorite

DontLookUp

DON’T LOOK UP ‼️‼️ 😂

'Don't Look Up!'

Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my twitter(I suggest look at the idea of generating electricity by gravity). I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to cooperate?

Don’t look up 🆙😂

Does this make sense

And let it fly by earth. Like jeez, these Asteroids love to aim at earth for some reason.

Safely trying to ignore probabilities of extinction

What time? How will I be able to stop it, I mean spot it.

Time flies like an arrow fruit flies like a banana asteroid flies will fly.

Sorry UTslick68 😂😂

Another miss! Hooray! Hooray!
