Default Asteroid will come remarkably close to Earth today 15/2/12




Will it hit your area or will it be down the Hill.


"A 150-foot (45-metre)-wide asteroid will come remarkably close to Earth next week, even closer than high-flying communication and weather satellites. It will be the nearest known flyby for an object of this size. But don't worry. Scientists promise Asteroid 2012 DA14 will be at least 17,100 miles (27,518 kilometres) away when it zips past next Friday."

Its the speed of the thing that would cause the damage. I think the news said it was traveling at about 18,000 mph.

I remember watching something on the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

Apparently the moment of impact with the earth, only 1% of the asteroid was under the atmosphere.

'The asteroid's closest approach will be at 7.24pm on 15 February, meaning that those gazing keenly at the dark skies of eastern Europe, Asia and Australia will stand the best chance of seeing it through telescopes or binoculars'

Also, It wasn't the inital impact of the asteroid that wiped out the Dinosaurs They died out over a period of time - due to the asteroid killing off plants and other times of vegetation for them to survive.

think the Asteroid is just one of many theories that Scientists think wiped out the Dinosaurs though, i'm sure another one was something about Volcanic Ash in the Atmosphere
