Epoch Times:
Scientists were surprised after an asteroid almost hit earth on Thursday, July 25.
“It’s impressively close. I don’t think it’s quite sunk in yet. It’s a pretty big deal,” Associate Professor Michael Brown, from Monash University’s school of physics and astronomy, told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“[If it hit Earth] it makes the bang of a very large nuclear weapon–a very large one,” he said.
The rock dubbed Asteroid 2019 OK was approximately 328 feet (100 meters) in diameter and moving at a speed of almost 28 miles (45 kilometers) per second. The rock missed Planet Earth by a distance of approximately 45,000 miles (72,500 kilometers) which is less than the distance between the earth and the moon, reported Astronomy Magazine.
The rock was flying from the direction of the sun, which is why astronomers failed to detect it, said Brown. more
If it’s gonna kill a city, let it be San Francisco or New York.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocassio Cortez asked why they didn’t notice it at night, then?
How do you think he does it?
What makes him so good?

Truth be told, aoc and her merry band of fucktards just missed their ride back to planet twatwaffle.

I will withhold my opinion until I knew who would have died.
I’m wondering if this ‘roid fly-by is a warning from God.
“Get your act together or the next one will smack you upside the head real good….and you can all kiss it goodbye”.
Maybe if they were being astronomers and studying space instead of Climate Change advocates and studying cow farts.
Tyson is another warmist, but he’s been a bit BIZZAY lately.
Also, some of us have been praying for an asteroid lately. Maybe we should stop.
I looks like someone is listenig. LOL
It should have hit Mecca
LOL @ Mithrandir.
@Kcir “It looks like someone is listening.”..(and warning!)
Odd you would say that. Genesis 18:20-32 is the 1st reading in the Catholic Mass for 07/28/2019.
Or Teheran.
I’m Catholic.
But disappointed in Francis. He is supposed to protect & lead the flock, not weaken it.
JP2 worked with Reagan & Thatcher against communism.
This guy, seems to be on the other side.
Not trying to offend anyone, just my personal feelings.
Perhaps a few more climate scientists on the team would help with their ability to predict future events….
@Kcir, exactly.
The funniest line in any story I read starts with “Experts surprised…….”
If you’re such an effin’ expert, you should be expecting what us mere mortals can not imagine.
The same goes for scientists. Do science. That’s your job. Leave the pc bs to the “experts”.
Ex= has been
Spurt= drip under pressure
That stated, what fookin’ difference would it make if we were forewarned or not, about a city, state, world killing asteriod? REALLY? WE WOULD ALL FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT IF WE HAD A WEEK OR TWO TO MULL IT OVER???? REALLY? FFS!

May we have a refund from NASA which was supposed to be able to track all of this space shit years ago?
The Muslims at NASA are diddling the goats instead of tracking asteroids.
It only missed by 46,000 miles. Time to run in and change your diapers!
if it will calm you down. measure the distance in feet! The sky is falling for sure!
Whether it hits or misses is not in your control.
2,428,880,000 feet. Feel Better?
