Asteroid the size of a bus that Nasa only spotted on Christmas Day is set to have a ‘near miss’ with Earth TODAY as it flies between our planet and the moon at 21,000mph. While NASA pontificates about global warming they miss this. Perhaps they should change their focus. If we get whacked by an asteroid global warming won’t matter one whit.

Meh. It was .6 LD(Sorry, lunar distance) away which is around 150,000 miles which isn't really even a close call. Besides, one that small would mostly disintegrate after entering earth's atmosphere even if did make a direct hit. That article said 139,433 miles. It is the Daily Mail though, they have to publish *something* because they're the Daily Mail. Did they mention a bat boy siting too?
Check out spaceweather.com. Scroll around halfway down the home page and it lists potential near earth asteriods.
NASA's website has a tracker that shows potential trajectories, too. I stopped visiting as much when 0bama tried to turn it into the National Muslim Rah-Rah Administration.
Gee, that doesn't give me much time to run around screaming, does it?
If it were the size of a house I know where I'd like it to land...
I instantly pictured cankles sticking out from under a house.
I thought an asteroid was what astronauts got from sitting on moon rocks?
That's Assteroids.
Meh, smaller than the one that hit Russia in 2013, no big deal. Unless it happened to hit West Michigan--THAT would be a big deal. But on the bright side, there's just as good a chance it would land on North Korea as West Michigan.
