You can call them "near Earth objects" if you want to. I'll stick with "asteroids hellbent on obliterating our planet and all we hold dear." Here's the lineup of the space rocks closest to killing us, and where they are.
As a bonus, designer Zachary Vabolis has taken the liberty of listing the recorded objects that have or will come closest to impact. And these are just the 1,000m diameter or wider crowd. So, hey, it's been real everybody! I just hope when we get got, it's a meteor with a cool name that does it.
But things like this make me sad. I don't want to be hit by a meteor :(
ReplyDeletewow pretty close indeed :)
ReplyDeleteI hope none of them come :(
ReplyDeletethanks for the info
ReplyDeletemeh, none of those have come any where near as close as we are to the Sun, it's all good!
ReplyDeleteIf we get clobbered by a space rock, it'll be by some long range bugger that's been way out in the Oort cloud.
i hope it will not hit us ;)
ReplyDeleteHere's to the fallen at Buenos Aires. The only good bug is a dead bug. :)
