Huge asteroid to buzz Earth — and you can watch it all online

[baddbob]

A giant asteroid will make a flyby of Earth over the next few days, and armchair astronomers can watch the action live on their computers.

The near-Earth asteroid 4179 Toutatis, which is about 3 miles (5 kilometers) wide, will zoom within 4.3 million miles (7 million kilometers) of Earth during its closest approach early Wednesday morning. That's too far away to pose any impact threat on this pass, but close enough to put on a pretty good show through top-notch telescopes, researchers say.....

Slooh will webcast Toutatis views from a scope in the Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa beginning at 3 p.m. EST today (Dec. 11). Another show will follow at 10 p.m. EST Tuesday night, with footage from an instrument in Arizona. You can watch them at Slooh's website.

The youtube vid was posted: "Published on Aug 10, 2012"

So they now even start recycling their fear stuff. :(

The guy in the vid is John Moore. He's ex FBI, ex special Forces but not an insider on this type of stuff.
Oh, yeah he gives survival classes ... ;);):twitch:

His conversation is with Mike Harris (I believe) and it's about Elenin, which has come and gone more than
a year ago ....

Well maybe it's better to recycle the material. Why make new stuff if it's going to end the same way as
last time .... :rolleyes:

Apparently it passed by last night at a distance of about 4.3 million miles.
