Mile-Wide 'Planet Killer' Asteroid Discovered Near Earth's Orbit

For a long time, the sun's glare has been hiding a secret — a trio of space rocks with one member that could one day be hazardous to the planet. Of the three asteroids recently discovered by astronomers, two are so massive that they have been described as "planet killers" — and one has the potential of crossing Earth's orbit, according to a new study.

The asteroid that ended the dinosaurs was technically the highest ratio of killing birds to one stone in Earth’s history

Meh! We got planet killing Nukes stockpiled between America and Russia

Why is this the only station covering this?

IF and i mean IF this is real then it kinda explains the sudden massive increase of rocket launches and space ship testing around the world

[keltic]

I swear this same report happens every year

[heavyvehiclelifestyle]

Ahhh, it has been there for a very long time, probably centuries if not thousands of years. Nothing to worry about if you ask me.
The Asteroid has a stable orbit is obviously stable, it is no threat.

I can’t believe that people don’t realize we would be dead if god wasn’t real

Would it not be possible to place an observatory in a sun synchronous orbit in the earth's shadow to look for these? Seems to me there would be a lot of them left over from when the Moon was formed.. F. Miller

There’s a Near earth object website which shows all the NEOs. Apophis is an NEO 370 meters big and it’s passing us at 22, 000 miles from earth, keep in mind the moon is about 240, 000 miles and the ISS is at about 500 miles from earth.
Why didn’t this channel say the name of the asteroid ?

[METALMANWii]

Elon knew about this year's ago I say 5 years it hits.

[eddiev]

That's what NASA always says none on collision course to earth.

[advanceddarkness]

It can't come soon enough. Civilization needs it reset button pushed.
