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.
The bad news: You’re going to die. The good news: It will be quick and relatively painless. Well, at least that’s what the scientists latest settled science is telling us. Interestingly enough, this news comes from the Sun UK.

Well, at least that’s what the scientists latest settled science is telling us. Interestingly enough, this news comes from the Sun UK:
A STAR primed to explode in a blast that could wipe out the Earth was revealed by astronomers yesterday. It will self-destruct in an explosion called a supernova with the force of 20 billion billion billion megatons of TNT.
New studies show the star, called T Pyxidis, is much closer than previously thought at 3,260 light-years away – a short hop in galactic terms.
So there you have it. The science is settled. At least until a new, new study comes out showing that the old study was wrong and that the star is really farther away and not really going to bake Earth like a potato in a microwave.
By the way, why is it that every time you see the word “new” in front of the word “study”, you know it’s going to be bad news?

What would the sky look like from your house if earth had rings like Saturn? This is an oddball post. We admit it. Not the kind of story and not the kind of video we normally run. But it’s pretty damn cool. And it’s our blog, so we’ll run what we damn well please.

Consider this proof that we are not a one trick pony here at IHateTheMedia.com. Yes, in addition to being media mavens and political scientists, we are also highly-trained astronomers.

Take your choice of punch lines: That other one must be the planet liberals live on. (rimshot) Just in time for the children to migrate. (rimshot) Let’s hope it has more intelligent life forms than this one does. (rimshot)
