"Two asteroids to pass close to Earth on Wednesday."
"Two small asteroids in unrelated orbits will pass within the moon's distance of the Earth on Wednesday, according to NASA.
It's an unusual event that shows the need for closer monitoring of near space for Earth-threatening encounters, a scientist with the program said.
The objects don't pose a threat to Earth, and they will not be visible to the naked eye, said Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA’s Near Earth Program, which tracks potentially hazardous asteroids and comets within 28 million miles of Earth.
The objects will visible from Earth as tiny specks of light with the help of moderate-sized amateur telescopes, he said.
Near-Earth asteroid 2010 RX30, which is estimated to be 32 to 65 feet in size, will pass within 154,000 miles of Earth at 5:51 a.m. ET Wednesday. The second object, 2010 RF12, estimated to be 20 to 46 feet in size, will pass within 49,088 miles of Earth at 5:12 pm ET…"
Well I guess God is sending us a message! Smile
We think we are such big shots here and he is sending a little reminder?
I hope these asteroids are not part of a bigger group on the way. I know I watch to many movies.
