*Huge megacomet is heading our way*
Me: 😁
"Don't worry though, we're safe."
Me: 😔

Even if it was headed for impact, it's not like they would tell us, until the last moments, to avoid mass panic

[milejukic]

That was some picky asteroid which killed only dinosaurs, but spared cows and other animals :)

[azertuu]

Its an atom of the solar system, its not hitting us.

[arguss]

I hope NASA's plan wont go wrong!

[dantemode]

Im so glad you said we are safe because the news almost gave me a heart attack

Friend, something unscientific.
I had a friend who told me that a cold body (it may not be this one, which emits cold energy, a very dark body and that it was expelled from our system in a gigantic solar storm 12 thousand years ago and now comes back in an "elastic" effect, the that confounds its orbit. This hyper solar storm was the one that tilted the planet's axis - unofficial things that seem unreal, but which respect due to countless other things being right by it) would park in the solar system. Her predictions always came true. She said it would be close to 2030. So I have doubts if the Megacomet can't be something different.
One question I have is whether Bernadinnelli can change the trajectory and speed?
That's it, thanks.

i hope this stone will hit earth to end all suffering and hostility of human

Omuamua was the Scout and it scanned us....That took about 45 minutes. Comets and other bodies usually have a reflectivity of about 3....Basalt...Absorbing light....It was so...Then it rotated it's position upwards and it's reflectivity shot up to a 9...That's about like a Chrome bumper...A mirror would be a 10 w/100% months after Avi Loeb made this statement as the reason why he believed it was Alien technology....The creation of Space Force was announced...

Cosmo what is your favourite subject in regards to space. Do you have a specific interest?

[bigdambluesband]

It's the size of Texas and since Bruce Willis has health problems we're in trouble. I've never been an astronaut but have spent many years in my younger days as a roughneck and the idea that sending a crew of roughnecks up in space to save the world? No, I don't think so. Send Mister T and the A Team.

I wonder about these things knocking some in our way.

Miles? Since long time we use a modern metric system.

With the humans gone, nature can hopefully recover and thrive once again. Bring it on!

Are you scientists kidding us all? 20, 000 miles from the surface of the earth Apophis will travel over the earth in 2029? Dude...the USA is only 3500 miles across from sea to sea...thats only 6 times the length of the USA. The asteroid is over 1000 meters long...thats almost half a mile long asteroid....imagine a rock 1/2 mile long wide hitting earth. 2029 is going to be the most hairraising year for people....

[johnsamuels]

This is a large asteroid... A very large asteroid

[rfrank]

How could one know the composition.. weight.. trajectory and nucleus of an object billions of miles away through a telescope? We are all idiots…..

[geoffwright]

With nowhere to run should it hit us we'll just have to duck and wait for the dust to settle.

[TRUSTME]

220, 000 mph is more like it💯%fact APOPHIS travels at 400, 000 mph

Is it 1 person reading and replying to the comments or many? If it’s a 1 man army then you’re savage! Lol
