... it'll be on the other side of the Moon orbit X 15 times... what do you want me to do with that beside calling it unnecessary alarmism?

Ok i looked on the NASA site and it's 5.8 million kilometres from us when it passes so will not cause any effects i think just the media speculating i spose.

According to NASA, it is equivalent to the size of nine ships Queen Elizabeth 2.
It is a boulder of respect.

What about this one? Still on the outer side of the moon's orbit, but much closer than the one NBC is alarming us with...

If I understood this video correctly, it passes the earth 3 times the distance to the moon, so I think there is no need to worry.

I watched an interesting NASA video yesterday and the scientists were talking about how there a thousands of ELE asteroid and a large meteors in our galaxy but they have only closely looked at about 13% of these to track the path through space. And The NASA scientist actually said " it's not if it's when one of these objects collides with earth" he then goes on to say this " i can say with 100% certainty that one of these objects will at some stage collide with earth we just don't know when at the moment" . The ones they know about are not on a collision path with us so they say but i am wondering if the asteroid has a high level of iron or metal in it could it be grabbed the the earths magnetic core and dragged towards us??.

The thing is--and this is a sincere question as I am totally ignorant of these things--if there were a collision course astroid discovered, perhaps even as chance discovery a day or two out, or even a questionable collision-course astroid discovered, would we even know about it on NASA's sight? Wouldn't they not post it?

Anyone know the precise protocols?

I have a hard time believing they publish any and every discovered astroid trajectory willy-nilly without considered deliberation.

if it doesn't hit earth it's just another wasted opportunity.
