Astronomer Piero Sicoli said he believes there's about a "1 in 400 chance" that the asteroid will actually have an impact.
I'll take those odds. Also, best V-Day gift ever?

You have a better chance (vid related)
Oh good, a 1 in 400 chance I give a shit about this tomorrow, or in 2046.
Asteroid potato is a peaceful asteroid!
>tfw I will be 45 in 2046
As always, it sucks to be a zoomer.
I'll be 80 that year if I make it, so fuck it... let it happen.
Generation X wins again -- we always knew that all of civilization culminated with our lives.
As a Zoomer I still hold hope that sentient AI waifus will help save the West from itself
Rolling for Tel Aviv.
rolling for moscow
Rolling for Tel Aviv
>Mean diameter
>~47m
For reference, the Tunguska event asteroid was 50-60m. The Chelyabinsk asteroid in 2013 was 18m.
Not world ending but would cause significant damage to a city either by impact or air burst.
please land on san francisco
And by "San Francisco" you of course mean "Tel-Aviv"
A sign in the sky perhaps
Consider it a date.
Promises, promises.
>tfw still no gf in 2046
nasa garden gnomer amti christ cartoo prtopaganda astewroidfs are nt real yu wold have to lookk up t see a horizon wrong cosmology idiots
I have a pretty good understanding of orbital mechanics and I was going to manually crunch this thing's orbit to see how likely it is to hit.. but then I saw the size! Haha holy shit who cares? That thing would have to land directly on my head to hurt me
I know, I just thought it was funny. But what is really weird is the 2021 movie "Don't Look Up" about two astronomers who find a comet that is going to hit earth and it's a extinction level event. They basically get ignored by everyone but finally the gov't decides to do something, but cancel last minute due to the comet being made up of precious metals that are worth trillions. The Tim Cook mixed with Elon Musk character builds probes to land on the comet and get the metals so the politicians can be rich. They fuck up and it destroys earth.
IRL we have 16 Psyche, an asteroid that is made up of extremely rare metals, gold and diamonds. What is NASA trying to do? They are launching a probe to see how they can somehow bring this to earth since it's worth about $10,000 quadrillion. It has a diameter of 140 miles. They launch the probe next month and it will take (I think) about 5 yrs to get to the asteroid). What do you say they somehow fuck this up and kill us all??
It would be extremely difficult to make it hit Earth.
Like.
The odds of doing that on purpose are impossible, and you think it will happen accidentally.
You are kind of dumb. The kind of dumb person who would watch "Don't look up".
I don't think it can be done, but I think our gov't is stupid enough to try. Greed is a powerful thing.
pfft these retards dont know what rheyre doing
Psyche is indeed the garden gnomeel of the inner belt, but mining it is well outside our technoligical reach. We wanna practice asteroid mining? Drag a small NEA to geosynch orbit OR go to Eros
But in reality dragging Psyche itself to Earth? Fucking absurd, and stupid.. and presently impossible

Officially 1169 weeks away.
make an asteroid 2046 general thread with every week counting down
Did you account for leap years and stuff?
Your calculator is wrong. It's 2 weeks.
space is a socio-sodomitical construct
well look at that totally real photo of a totally real asteroid from not-fake space how can you not believe this for sure real story
How big is it? (The asteroid mass)
And, I can already se it, a week before pol goes nuts praising every god they ever heard of to hit us just because they can't get dates! lol
is it at least big enough to wipe out humanity? and, if possible, will it please land on top of Romania?
seeing these twats run around in desperation dying left and right would be so amusing to me
i bet they'll still blame Soros though
Hoping for Tel Aviv but I'll settle for LA or DC
>Dimensions: 37 x 82 meters
literal-est nothingburger period.
based asteroid dimension analyzer
Chicxulub was 10 Kilometers
Post ID ends in 1, it hits tel aviv
Post ends with 2, it hits LA
Post ends with a 3, it hits SF
Post ends with a 4, it hits NYC
Post ends with a 5, it hits DC
Any other number and it lands in the ocean.
ROLLING
rolling for all 1s
eh close enough
Ha we both rolled a 2.
LA it is!
How much co2 would that emit?
Asteroid is obviously moving through space. Do you see it traveling towards the camera? From right to left? Left to right? Or do you see it traveling left to right but downward at angle of about 5 o'clock or 4 thirty but still remaining flat
A new asteroid flew over my house
>50 meters diameter
lame
just more retarded prep for the dumbfuck cattle to accept the end of the world when it gets so bad they cant hide the failing geomagnetic field anymore
IF 7 WE ALL FUCKING DIEEEEEEEE
Nothing ever happens
2014 DA was making a close pass by Earth and the famous RUSSIA impact window breaker happened that same day right at the same time 2014DA made it's close pass NASA claimed it was not related to 2014DA CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP !! Nasa cracks me up
>Also, best V-Day gift ever?
If it hits the edomites
>2046
Nice try morons. I want a Carrington event instead.
