Actually, it seems it may be two asteroids to watch. ;-)

Even astronomers with large backyard telescopes -- perhaps 8 inches or bigger -- will be able to spot Hermes later this month. Amazing! . . . Even someone with an 8" scope could have found it on one of its passes that were relatively close to earth, yet it was lost for 66 years. There are still lots of important discoveries a rank amateur can make out there, ladies and gentlemen -- if you're so inclined.

For years, scientists have pondered the added difficulty of dealing with a binary asteroid that might one day take aim on Earth. No one has come up with a proven plan for deflecting a lone space rock, however, let alone a pair.
They obviously have not seen Armageddon!

>Mystery Asteroid, Hermes,
May Have a Partner Wouldn't it be odd
if this one is the space ship
and they pull over
to try and pick up
their friends the Heaven's Gate cult
that's expecting them...

Maybe the Heavens Gate crew is riding on the 2nd one ..... ;-)
