  • Asteroid 2002 EM7 !


    Who?


    Ya know, the Stealth Space Boulder Bomb that secretly slipped past Earth the other day.


    When?


    March 8, 2002 at a distance about that of the moon. But scientists didn’t see it until 4 days later because it came from right behind the sun and it couldn’t be spotted in the blinding light. It snuck up through a literal blindspot, so to speak.


    And if had hit the Earth?


    Splat!


    "If it were over a populated area, like Atlanta, it would have basically flattened it," said Gareth Williams, associate director of the International Astronomical Union Minor Planet Center in Boston, Massachusetts.


    Or it might have released a monster tsunami on a coastal city.


    So this was a big one?


    Nope…


    The rock is considerably smaller than dozens of potential planet killers 1 kilometer in size or larger that lurk in the inner solar system.


    So you're saying that one of these killer rocks could come barreling through this astronomical blindspot undetected and take out the Earth?


    What does it matter? Do you think even if authorities see it coming and it’s going to hit the Earth that they’ll forewarn us anyway?! Hell no. It’s all just probabilities and even if it were probable that it would hit the earth, they’d probably be uncertain precisely where. So what are they going to do, set up a worldwide panic and have everyone jump off of literal and economic bridges in despair? No way. No *early warning* is ever going to go out to the world public unless someone really wants to witness the Final Apocalypse Party-Of-All-Time. So the truth is: if you hear about it, there never was a real danger; and if there’s imminent danger, you probably won’t know till it hits you…Rock-a-bye, baby. Rock-a-bye-bye.
