Asteroid a MILE wide to hurtle past Earth in 48 HOURS - as experts warn of MASS EXTINCTION

A COLOSSAL asteroid hurtling through space is feared to be one of the biggest EVER to threaten a collision with Earth.

The gigantic missile thought to measure almost a mile across will brush closer than previous monsters which have sparked a global panic.

Worried astronomers warned 1999 FN53, which is an eighth of the size of Mount Everest, will skim the Earth in TWO DAYS.

It's time put on your big girl panties, Sunshine, and stop being such a pussy.

n Friday, an asteroid traveling 23,000 mph will pass by Earth at a distance of 0.03 astronomical units (AU).

If that sounds ominously close, it's not really. Despite the breathless hyperbole from some about the asteroid "skimming past" Earth on a "near-collision course," 0.03 AU is the equivalent of 2,788,674 miles. That's 11.7 times greater than the distance from the Earth to the moon.

The space rock, known formally as 2014-YB35, will be close enough for astronomers to get a good look but basically invisible to everyone else.

According to NASA's Goldstone Asteroid Schedule, YB35 is about 500 meters (1,640 feet) in diameter. Beyond that, not much is known about the asteroid.

There have been much closer calls in the past. In January, asteroid 2004 BL86 cruised past Earth at a distance of about 745,000 miles, close enough for scientists at NASA's Deep Space Network antenna to capture images of the rock, which they discovered is orbited by its own small moon.

Thanks Obama!

Does this mean we don't have school on Friday?

Astronomically speaking, it has already hit the Earth.

sounds like bullshit because while there was a "near miss" no a few years ago by a large asteroid - it was some lunar distances away still

and the tables in 2014 predicted no such near missing in (any near future, years to come)

the fact that it was discovered in 1999 and not in the near earth objects table as having a near earth approach this year is suspicious

still not converting to islam !!

there a large asteroid following behind earth in the same solar orbit. but it's distance is supposedly stable not closing

at distance of 26.4 lunar distances, or roughly 10 million kilometers.

Asteroid 1999 FN53 will skim past Earth on May 14

NASA’s Near Earth Object Programme puts the enormous lump of rock on course to pass within six million miles of Earth on May 14.

In astronomical terms this is a tiny distance and close enough to prompt astronomers to keep an eye on it until is passes safely.

It's going to be about as close as he came to winning the election.

if (6 10^6) miles is right, that's 30 earth-moon distances

we had a large one miss earth in 2014 that was ? 11 earth-moon distances (close)

(2015 JD) 2015-May-10 0.0091 3.6 22 m - 49 m 25.4 8.75

^^ that one was 3.6 lunar disances

285331 (1999 FN53) 2015-May-14 0.0678 26.4 580 m - 1.3 km 18.3 13.73

26 distances

22 meters would be allot nicer than 1 mile wide though !

(2015 HM10) 2015-Jul-07 0.0029 1.1 42 m - 93 m 24.0 8.45

42 meters, 1 lunar distance

meade took my telescope - and they kicked me out of FL for buying too many hot dogs from uncertified girls in bikini hot dog stands

... can't tell you more right now

^^ i have to say to it was so his further away fans could get a glimse !

if your wondering if were going to get hit by Haley's Comet and the earth will end

YES. when? well, not soon.

some other one? maybe soon maybe not.

...do we die from the impact or from the global climate change that doesn't exist?

We die from hysteria.

Pro, con, indifferent.

Doesn't matter. Hysteria will get us all in the end.
