An asteroid almost hit the earth!

A giant asteroid almost hit earth on September 16, but because it came from the direction of the sun, scientists missed it

If you heard a whooshing noise recently, you weren’t imagining it—there was indeed a gigantic asteroid that almost hit earth this month. And NASA didn’t see it coming.

The asteroid, named 2021 SG, has a diameter of around 42 to 94 m, with a diameter or around 68 m, which makes it around half the size of the great pyramids.

The asteroid tracker EarthSky has it listed for September 16, but NASA only detected it a day later.

Yep, we almost got hit by an asteroid that we didn’t even notice.

How? It’s because it was coming from the direction of the sun, a blind-spot for scientists.

Almost all asteroids that are detected by NASA and others come from the other direction of the solar system, coming towards the earth and the sun. This is known as coming from the “front”.

This is more important than anything but I know its futile..If you had of seen what I and two others saw in Feb 2008 ghost past earth in broad daylight from Qld Australia you would know why the mars rush is on and the reason they give for going is false, it's too long a story, my kids were yelling for me to see something in the sky that was too big for a plane, but picture a mystifying dark hazy mass high in the east getting larger which rapidly grew in seconds to cover a third of the sky beyond ours like a shadow and clarifying into perfect detail as it went past.. we are all so dead, just a matter of time..we saw chunk of a moon or planet bigger than Australia, it was no formless asteroid and that was easy to see, seemingly bigger than the earth from my vantage point and in perfect detail for ten full seconds ghost by earth in broad daylight, coal black and reflecting no sunlight despite direct sunlight on its facing surface and side cliffs from the angle of the afternoon sun and moving as fast as a meteor and covering a third of the sky for a full ten seconds, I was like an ant watching a train go by at a level crossing as it went on and on at incredible speed for something so incomprehensibly massive but no sound, such was its incomprehensible size and speed and despite being unmissable by the space agencies not reported to the public I assume because it would cause the utmost panic, I still have bone freeze, I shut up about it after enough ridicule until exactly 9 years later to the month feb 2017 when a Russian astronomer made the same claim as to what we saw and said we were all being deceived to the existence and intersect course of a massive asteroid, that I can confirm, you are being deceived to its existence, whether it will hit I don't know but it missed us by around 30 seconds in 2008 and I conjecture and with the mars rush I see I expect it back in feb 2026 and if it hits, even if it grazes us not even the earth will survive intact, let alone any life, such is it's impossible and incomprehensible size and speed. I have been predicting this mars rush will happen since 2008, if they have a base established on mars and the moon before the end of 2025 then heads up in feb 26..the most bone chilling dread awesome sight ever witnessed by a human in all of time that still has me looking up ..if your real lucky you might see it rather than just feel the impact before we all die more or less instantaneously from the shock wave as the earth rips apart..man its so big and fast it will be impossible to divert or destroy, it really is game over if it hits this time around, hell it missed us by around 30 seconds in 2008 and no one was even aware or were informed so sure as hell they will not ever tell you its coming because its pointless to do so, panic will not help, nothing will but to get away from the earth, and thats you see happening right now.. just look again in light of this information.. nothing you can do about it so just watch the mars rush unfold and smoke em if ya got em and let your hair down and live while you can...
