Asteroid, over a kilometre wide, will be soaring past the Earth tonight.
An asteroid is set to pass Earth at around 8pm - 10pm tonight. At a distance of around 1 million miles and scientists say it will be its closest approach for the next 200 years. It's not going to be visible with the naked eye but can be followed using the following link.

The only thing keeping me watching is the doom merchant posters who insist the world will be destroyed and we will not survive the impact from the asteroid as it gets drawn into us following some massive miscalculation in it's predicted trajectory. Goodbye world! :D |

The live feed caused a lot of problems for people who wanted 'them' to zoom in so that the actual asteroid could be seem as it past through our atmosphere and they wanted to know why they couldn't see the dang thing burning up as it went past us. :rofl: |

Apparently NASA have been tracking that one for decades. That one's nothing to worry about, it's never going to hit.
But it's not the only one of its kind out there...:erm: |
