I wonder if we are near a swarm?

Btw, we had an earthquake in south Alabama Wednesday.

Misleading headline. Methinks the pebble that wiped out T-Rex and Co. came just a bit closer.

The asteroid was obviously yapping on its cellphone and wasn't looking where it was going (c8

Tomorrow Sputnik is 45. For the first 15 years great strides were made.

That's pretty close. I wonder what a rock that size would've done if it had hit. Would it burn up or would it have made it to the ground in a size capable of inflicting damage?

Of course had it hit earth women and minorities would have been affected most. I'm also certain that global warming/cooling, the hole in the ozone layer and my driving a beat-up SUV, not to mention the Republicans personally added to the risk. Tom Daschle was also "saddened" that this has been allowed to happen. (I probably maxed out my sarcasm--enough already)

The previous record for closest approach of an asteroid - 108,000km measured from the centre of the Earth - was set in 1994

What are they talking about? Asteroids hit the earth every single day.

An asteroid about the size of a small house

An asteroid about the size of a small house passed just 88,000 kilometres from the Earth by on Saturday 27 September - the closest approach of a natural object ever recorded.

The passage came at about 2300 GMT, only 10 hours after a bright fireball streaked over the Orissa region of India. Indian villagers have found pieces of the meteorite, which reportedly cause two house fires.

Wouldn't you say that the second one mentioned was just a tad closer?

We have nothing to fear since we reside on a flyover planet.

Hi Blam...have posted this before in our past chats..but a revue..for those reading allong this thread.

Victor Clube and associates regressed the 4 independent streams of the Taurid meteor complex back via computer sim to a singular ident.

Dating periods range from evolution on the periphery of our solar sytem..to the inner planetary.
50,000 yrs..cycling to 20,000.
Some consideration is give..that the fragments of the percieved *Super Comet were still slamming into the Earth....Mars as late as our Circa 12,000 BP window..with a few more sizeable impactors augering in during the Bronze age.

The Earth crosses these 4 independent streams ...nearly a 1/4 of each years passage around the Sun is the time interval we are in potential bombardment.

Some assay that most of the big stuff has been vacumned up by Jupiter..Mars..our Earth.
Big lurker Encke is part of this stream.

The other consideration is that size singular does not mean you will not get pasted..
That impactors..or the Tunguska scale might exist still..and in swarms.

so then,,the math calculus...that you eventually get hit by a Chixalub..or take a Tunguska.

NASA/JPL did a computer regress of a asteriod pathway..and concluded that it may be the remains of a moon which was fragmented..either by gravametrics..or by impact.
Most of the sizeable peices augering in somewhere..but tell tale none the less..that this debrie field was a singular ident....by the scale/volume of debrie..considered to be a small moon.

NASA was suprised when orbitors arrived at Mars.
Preconcieved views were imemdiately overturned.
Mars had a magnetic field....now located at its surface and underlying surface.
The magnetude was an eye opener.
Mars also revealed a chaotic pattern of fused magnetic bars in its inner crust.

Mars was percieved to have had in past ages....a magnetic dynamo like the Earth.
Torn apart..its signature now left in its surface layers.
The Line of Dichotomy...nearly a 1/3rd of Mars's crust missing,
bounced off into space?
The huge Valles Marineris trench....a fracture wave rupture from impactors augering into Mars?
or an Electrical arc/gouging ..Anode/Cathode event as percieved by Electric Universe followers?

Mars looks like a Murder Victim.
The debate now...when did this occur?

Millions and millions of yrs ago..some say,
others..who are considering Clube/Napier and Velikovsky Catastrophism....consider this may have occured not to long ago.
in the 20,000 yr to present window.

feh -- by the standards of this article, every little rock is an "asteroid."
