Asteroid alert!
Just heard on the news that an Asteroid is due to pass by Earth TODAY at 5:08 pm eastern standard time.
The Asteroid is 30 meters in dia. and will miss Earth by only 26,000 miles.
Hope their calculations are correct!

No one has made a 'big' deal out of it simply because NASA has concluded it will NOT hit us. This type of event happens about every 2 years according to the article I read this morning, just this time someone spotted this one BEFORE it passed by.

If a big enough asteroid hit the atlantic it would shoot to the bottom of the ocean and crack the earth's crust. Then a huge tidal wave would hit the 80th floor of the empire state building.
If anything like that ever happens, I definitely want to see it

Unless it were solid iron or other dense hard material, something only 100ft in diameter would hardly be noticeable by the time it hit the ground. So much would have burned off it'd probably just blow apart the family room.
They say it was close enough that some folks in the southern hemisphere would be able to see it with regular cheapy telescopes.
