NASA tracking stadium-sized asteroid headed toward Earth



MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) – NASA is keeping tabs on five asteroids heading toward Earth over the next few days, with one the size of a stadium.

According to the agency’s asteroid watch, the largest of the five currently being tracked is 1,100 feet wide, roughly the size of a stadium...

1. Nothing to worry about

We have a Space Force that can take care of these things.

3. At some point the legendary 'Devil's Hammer' may hit, not now.

We need to save some disasters for future generations.

5. Wow! Look at all the impact marks on that piece of rock. That makes me wonder about how

"safe" and "empty" outer space is!

8. None of the asteroids being tracked are going to come very near.

The one pictured will be at its closest six times farther away than the Moon.

My Son the Astronomer sent me this link which lists a bunch of asteroids and their probability of actually striking Earth. That's the column in blue. Since that's scientific notation, which a lot of us aren't very familiar with, just click on any one of them to see it expressed in terms we understand. Basically, everything has a 99.99% chance of missing our planet.

Note it includes one that won't get near us until 2880.

Space really is remarkably empty.

10. Let's see how complacent you are when they trigger the super volcano under Yellowstone.

Didn't figure in gravitic effects, did you?

11. LOL!

12. Just the other day I was speculating on what was to come next - a plague of locusts or

AN ASTEROID! Now the question is which will do more harm - Trump or an asteroid?

13. The size of a stadium!
