asteroid coming near earth

http://news.yahoo.com/asteroid-earth-record-setting-close-shave-feb-15-233041677.html

The Earth's Magnetic Forcefield is too strong.

Let's hope it won't hit a satellite.

Since the object will be moving across the sky so fast, only the most experienced amateur astronomers are likely to catch its close pass. But it could be a challenge.

So that means it wont hit the earth then

@mrdecepticonleader: Correct,but it might hit a satellite.

Oh well,better a piece of replaceable technology than a village or town.

pray it hits france......*cough*

....WHAT?! who said that.... >_>

@mrdecepticonleader: Agreed.

Neat, hope they get some good pics of this thing as it passes.

@Trodorne: Lol,why do you hate France?

During the last meteor shower (Dec), I spotted like 12 meteors. Surely none of them were as big as a football field. I think it will be exciting to watch.

Maybe if were really lucky it enters Earth's gravity field at the right position and angle and becomes a second satellite.

Wha???

Wha???

That it becomes stuck in Earth's gravity field and becomes a second satellite

It might look like this!

How would it become another satellite though ?

It just passed the Earth. But since it weighed 130,000 tons apparently, something of that size colliding with the Earth would have been worrying.

I don't care I am anyway I am on the moon right now :P

Someone go get Mark Ruffalo, attach rocket springs to him, and tell him to jump.

Really? How are you getting signal from up there? :P

@mrdecepticonleader: sometimes an asteroid can get stuck in a planet's gravitational field and become a new satellite or moon. Its what happened for planet marcs for phobos and deimos.

Hacked into a satellite

I need to see my programs, man.

I just finished a book about a Meteor thats going to hit earth....

And one guy was hoping it would hit France :P

What it seems like :

That's one dead Mark Ruffalo.

Cool Stuff

here we go again with this "2012" bullsh*t
