We won't be getting any more obs on it untill the 29th due to the full moon, and most of the smaller observatories won't be getting around to it until later as they are closed for a winter break. Lucky them.



Hmm, the probability is now 1:46 (2.2 %). Apparently there was some new observations?

Anyway I almost hope that this is a *very* close call, because it would force us to create the needed technology.. shocked

forget deviation or destruction, throw the thing into orbit... you never know when you'll need a few extra million tonnes of material to build something out there.

That date is a bit of a stretch I would think...but even still its only a 4 on the Torino
Scale...the only way this would be a great problem is if it was to hit in a major world city...thos odds are rediculously low...more than likely it will hit ocean and the energy will be dissapated by the water...this aint the armageddon people...


Ummm...if it hits the ocean, there's going to be one motherfucking big tidal wave to deal with. Definately catistrophic. This is certainly not Armageddon, but perhaps Deep Impact?

This would cause a pretty horrible tital wave, but not end the world.

In fact, another news item I am going to post in a second is a tital wave of an -8.0- (stronger, in fact) homegrown, non-asteroid quake that has ended up killing 7,000 people so far (likely more as they get to count.)

Yup, it's gone. I'm still going to try and get some obs of it tonight, since it isn't quite a 0 Torino yet.

Shows over, nothing to see here folks.
