Candy Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A giant asteroid is heading for Earth and could hit in 2014, U.S. astronomers have warned British space monitors. But for those fearing Armageddon, don't be alarmed -- the chances of a catastrophic collision are just one in 909,000. Asteroid "2003 QQ47" will be closely monitored over the next two months. Its potential strike date is March 21, 2014, but astronomers say that any risk of impact is likely to decrease as further data is gathered. On impact, it could have the effect of 20 million Hiroshima atomic bombs, a spokesman for the British government's Near Earth Object Information Centre told BBC radio. The Centre issued the warning about the asteroid after the giant rock was first observed in New Mexico by the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research Program. "The Near Earth Object will be observable from Earth for the next two months and astronomers will continue to track it over this period," said Dr Alan Fitzsimmons, one of the expert team advising the Centre. Asteroids such as 2003 QQ47 are chunks of rock left over from the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. Most are kept at a safe distance from the Earth in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. But the gravitational influence of giant planets such as Jupiter can nudge asteroids out of these safe orbits and send them plunging towards Earth.

nexusgroove Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 this issue has been known to man since 1970's, and I am sure that N.A.S.A. resolved the matter, Yes.. Ultra and the WMC is going to be safe in 2014...don't worrie......I wonder where are the houses with the old bomb shelters at?start looking..lol....I'm sure that this information is being released to the public because they already have a fix for it. I think we need to worrie more about the junk we leave in orbit then some rocks that can be redirected.if u ever buy a good telescope and look out into space, u can see how much shit the space center has out there floating around... there is over 5000 satelites in orbit around earth, you have the russians trowing shit out the windows, you got all this shit floating around earth in an orbit.Scary... if you ever see a shooting start, think twice about calling it a shooting star, its just space junk buring up, or the russians flushed the craper.
