Jeez dude I got a degree in Astrophysics!

The asteroids orbits are not

1) Defined - until we can track a 'steroid for a length of time we cannot know it's orbit but --
2) Stable - smaller bodies will be influenced more than a larger body (such as the moon).
3) In addition the are an 'inifnite' amount of asteroids in the galaxy so we only know about a small majority....

will put my tongue more in my cheek next time!

Predicted flyby at 6 million miles... Twenty times the orbit of the moon...

Hmmm. Better get my umbrella out.

There's a bigger one in June at 18.8 times.

Thanks for letting us know about it.

Need to "invest" some money tonight and tomorrow night

[FatLazyContractor]

good effort, I'll give you 1.5 points


the answer is that there is an asteroid the size(mass) of mount Everest headed our way. It will whizz past tomorrow, if it hits us there will be no more CUK on Friday
no more contracts, no more sunny days and, most importantly, no more George Galloway

Does it also mean no more Russell Brand, Kanye West, Kardashians, Sponging royals and Jeremy Kyle?
