PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Good month for near misses. http://www.spaceweather.com/ Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time. On February 12, 2013 there were 1379 potentially hazardous asteroids.

LAST EDITED ON 02-12-13 AT 01:33 PM (EST)Make no mistake about it, there are astrophysics scientists who have devoted their entire academic careers and lives to this very subject, writing books on it. We're probably good for a few centuries at least, barring any unexpected and still yet unobserved perturbations in solar system dynamics.  Surfkitten Summer sigshop 2008
The movies are good in making us aware of the potential danger and its possibilities, but they are poor in dramatizing the actual response of an impending event. Rather than blowing up an asteroid, which may exacerbate the situation, a gentle nudge well in advance is really all it takes to make a potential impact a wild but harmless fly-by. The current rock is going to have its solar system trajectory majorly altered by it's near Earth fly-by.

Now they're saying 725 injured across a wide area. Apparently, most of the injuries are due to flying glass as a result of the sound energy of the sonic boom shattering windows.

I'm just waiting to see who claims credit first: North Korea, the Taliban, or Focus On The Family.

There's one more whizzing by, 2013 ET. They first found it on my birthday, less than a week ago. Scary, they didn't see it until it was almost upon us.Asteroid 2013 ET is about 210 feet by 460 feet (64 meters by 140 m) in size, with some astronomers comparing its width to a football field. Its close approach to Earth comes just days after another space rock, the 33-foot (10 meters) asteroid 2013 EC, buzzed the Earth on Monday at a range just inside the moon's orbit. Then we've got one of our first naked-eye visible comets in a while, Pan-STARRS (aka C/2011 L4).  Surfkitten Summer sigshop 2008
Now that it's getting warmer, it's time to dust off the clock-driven Meade scope in the garage and take a peek.
