It was good knowing everyone.
NASA asteroid WARNING: Giant ONE MILE wide asteroid will skim the Earth before Christmas
A MONSTER asteroid measuring more than one mile across will fly by the planet on a so-called Earth Close Approach, space agency NASA has revealed.
It's path is over 7 lunar distances away from earth at it's closest approach.
NEO Earth Close Approaches
To me "skimming" involves at least interacting with the outer part of out atmosphere.
Yeah the know it all's said the one that smashed into them a little over a year ago said the same thing.. it will never hit earth lmfao. ( referring to the one that exploded in Russia a few years ago).
Was that one's orbit quantified before it hit?
They have been observing this one since 2003.
