Asteroid 8/11/11


Recommended Posts

I think we will be ok, if not it was not a pleasure and it was not nice knowing any of you.

An asteroid that size is only capable of destroying a large city (say New York or London), so even if it hit the earth, it would only affect SF if it fell directly on Sheffield.

 

It could cause a 75 foot tsunami wave if it fell into the sea but again, our elevation above sea level would protect us.

 

This asteroid is quote small (about the size of an aircraft carrier) compared to the comet in Deep Impact (3 miles wide).

Apparently, an asteroid is passing the Earth tomorrow night around 10:30pm BST and it might be closer to the moon :o

 

Eh?

 

It will be within the moons orbit, closer than the moon.

 

It won't be visible to the naked eye, you need at least a 6 inch telescope apparently.
