There are only . . .
days left until impact!
|
On Tuesday, March 10, 1998, Brian Marsden, Director of
the International Astronomical Union's central telegram bureau in Cambridge,
Mass., announced that celestial object 1997XF, a 1 to 2 mile wide asteroid,
could pass within 30,000 miles of Earth in October of the year 2028. One day
later, scientists from NASA's Jet propulsion Laboratory announced that the
asteroid would instead miss Earth by 500,000 to 600,000 miles.
JPL's Paul Chodas said that the chance of it impacting the Earth was "...so
unlikely as not to worry about."
Essentially, zero.
Not that I doubt the scientists and their calculations, but we're talking
about knowing exactly where something's going to be
weeks from now! How confident are you about predicting the exact
location of a speeding space object
months away?
Think about it.
Nevertheless, it is coming.
There may be questions as to where, exactly.
But at least now you know when.
