    IT'S ALMOST LIKE SOMEONE'S SHOOTING AT OUR PLANET.....

    ...It's a dam good thing they missed.

    But not by much.

    In the last 5 days we have had 4 asteroids whiz past us between Earth and Moon and one this morning incredibly close ......0.3 of a lunar distance , that's less than one third of the distance between us and the moon.

    you can see it all on SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids

    I think it is reasonable to assume this has always been happening - just that it has only recently that we have been in a position to detect it!

    Great. Something else to worry about. I put it into my favourites for a later time, I'm all crises'd out at the moment. [ think I invented a new word. ]
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I think you have too - maybe it should be "crisis'd"?

    I reckon you're right JD. Some technology is good!

    Well, those impacts didnt seem to bother the moon or dig another ocean.

    so in effect all you worry warts have really nothing to worry about......unless a 15m asteroid lands on your house

    C'mon, RB, you're just being silly! The odds of that happening are astronomical.
