Hit us. We’re full of gas.
does “observable history” mean the history of asteroid observation or just all of history?
And being as bright as 13th magnitude means it was literally as bright as Pluto...
Just to keep us on our toes.
13th Magnitude? Not seeable without a lot of magnitude power devices.
Serpens? It might have taken out Argentina near the Antarctica land mass but not much else.
Oh, better luck next time.
The Russian meteor that exploded in the air in 2013 was only 20 meters, and caused damage over a city.
Whatever happened to that Chinese space station?
“That’s a negative, Ghostrider, the pattern is full.”
SMOD (sweet meteor of death) missed us again?? We need a bigger gravity pull....
They don’t really have the orbital parameters nailed down yet. According to JPL the uncertainty of the semi-major axis is 232,000 miles. And it missed us by 119,000 miles. Not comforting.
*ping*
I just hope it’s not traveling in a group.
What about them Killer Bees?
It doesn't make me feel better that all of the so called experts and observers who claim to be watching all of the time could be taken by surprise like this.
Kind of like a person getting mugged in an above ground garage while the attendant supposed to be watching the cameras just went out to buy a lottery ticket. Or even worst if that state does not allow concealed carry.
Couldn't help myself there.
That’s a negative Ghost rider, the pattern is full.
