One less asteroid to keep track of. The scientists have been looking for a way to destroy dangerous asteroids. This is it. Just alter the path slightly so that it ultimately runs into a gas giant or the sun before it hits us.

Stargazing is going to be fun this weekend. The Moon will be right between Jupiter and Saturn and we should be able to see Antares with the naked eye, too! Head out beyond city lights if you can.

Two big gravity wells near the asteroid belt to steer them into Jupiter & Saturn.

Somehow, some way, the media will say this is Trump’s fault.

When the Shoemaker Levy Comet crashed on the Jupiter surface, the images were spectacular.

When contacted for comment, Jupiter simply said, “Ah, ‘tis but a flesh wound...”

"Thank you for running interference for us Jupiter." One down, about 150 million to go.

Better than something big slamming into Uranus.
We'd never know.
Objects always enter Uranus from behind.

Yeah, talking extinction-level impact if something like that hit the earth...

It's just not the same without Jack Horkheimer hanging out on Saturn's rings.
To: Boogieman
It would sink us in the corner pocket of the nearest black hole. Then scratch off to Venus or something.

Oh man he was the best! Jack Horkheimer and Art Bell made late nights magical.

Shoemaker Levy Comet looks like god playing darts and missed the target.

True. Shoemaker-Levy was impressive.
Do we know what the return of the impact point looks like: The shadow or impact cloud at the same spot after one revolution of Jupiter?
