    Probably happens very frequently, they are just now able to actually see the damned things fly by.

    "CNEOS estimated that this asteroid measures about 52 feet wide. It is currently approaching Earth at a speed of almost 34,000 miles per hour.

    2020 FG is expected to approach Earth from a much closer distance compared to 2020 FH. According to CNEOS, 2020 FG will zip past the planet on March 18 at 3:35 pm EDT from a distance of about 0.00367 astronomical units or around 341,000 miles away."

    This is the one that is closest. Weirdly, about 2 light-seconds away. About 1.5 times the distance of the moon.

    It really shouldn't come as a surprise. Look at all the damned craters on the moon. Granted many are archaic, and millions of years now must pass between even moderate strikes. But a 'moderate strike' on Earth would end life as we know it. Remember those pictures of the strikes on Jupiter?

    Not to spread yet more panic. This is plenty enough.

    There's not a damned thing we could do anyway if a really big asteroid hit. 52 feet wide sounds survivable though.

    oh i really foresee a TON of major life and world changing things coming down the line after all of this ( and it sounds horrible but loosing alot of the boomers will actually change alot of the way things are) but then im a gen xer ive waited all my life for meteorite impacts, super mega quakes, ozone loss, hit by a solar flare or gamma burst from another star, rogue blackhole, nuclear winters, super volcanoes......... yeah our parents generation loved to basically remind us how expendable we are.

    but i really think in the end something really positive for us as a species is not far off


    ps...areas around yellow stone are getting alot of quakes, even a 6. something the other day in idaho/...so SHES waking up now too so thats lovely

    It all depends on where it hits. Remember, Earth is 71% water. 118 feet isn't that big, it'll probably air-burst, if anything. Depends on what it's made of. We're not talking Civilization-Killers, here.

    THAT would be bad. FAR worse than a 118 foot Asteroid.

    If it was fake, they would have said it was three miles wide. Not a measly 118 feet!

    Locusts are swarming Africa. Just thought I'd add that since we are talking about bad omens.
