Rod Caster Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Watching the CBC report as we speak. Wild stuff. I wonder how the super religious feel about stuff like this? God skipping stones or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucG Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Definitly pretty crazy! Also read this: What will happen tonight? Just before 7.30pm today, a 150ft wide chunk of space rock will whizz past us in the closest shave since records began. If it hit the planet, it could wipe out a city the size of London and do as much damage as 1,000 of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima. Nasa has stressed that ‘no Earth impact is possible’ – but scientists say there is a small chance that TV signals may be affected. The asteroid will cut through the orbit of some satellites used for weather forecasting and for satellite phones and television. Mobile phones won’t be affected as they rely on land-based masts and cables. Asteroid 2012 DA14 was discovered last year by a Spanish dentist turned amateur astronomer and has been closely tracked ever since. Hurtling through space at speeds of five miles a second, eight times as fast as a speeding bullet, it will come within 17,000 miles of Earth at 7.24pm tomorrow. Astronomy expert Daniel Brown, of Nottingham Trent University, said: ‘In astronomical terms, that’s very close.’ Although the asteroid won’t be visible with the naked eye, it should be possible to see it with binoculars.

pikehunter Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I want to go over there with my window order book in hand, there's thousands of square feet of glass to replace! There's. A fortune to be made! Proof that rocks and glass really don't like each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
