It's 100 feet long in diameter and will pass 26,500 miles from Earth at 5:08pm Eastern time this afternoon. It'll be the closest encounter ever by an asteroid.

It will miss the earth, but the good news is... if it ever hits Earth, it likely would burn up in the atmosphere and if it did hit Earth, it wouldn't cause much damage because it's pretty small. It defintely won't kill the human race.

You couldn't see it most likely anyway. You would need a pretty strong telescope and I think you would have to be an expert and know where to look.

too bad you're so prejudice you wish death upon people whose brain cells dont function the way yours do.
It ain't my fault, it ain't my call, it AIN'T MY BITCH. :whistle:
Sarah, didn't you just come off a suspension for fighting with other members?

And you're not the one that started crap with me? You directly insulted me and my beliefs, and i replied without insulting you. What i said in my last post was the truth.

You said hopefully the meteor lands on my house. whether you were serious or not, i know you said that just because i dont think god is real. Oh, and not believing in the same thing as you gives you a right to attack me? YOU STARTED THIS AND I DID NOTHING TO HARM YOU WHETHER YOU ADMIT IT OR NOT.

no..the reason i said that is because you said that you hope that the meteor hits earth and kills everyone...so i said hopefully it will just kill you, so you will be happy? and i think you need a sedative/ tranquilizer...but thats just my opinion.

OMG... like i was being serious. and then you started up this "there is a truth that is just true" crap again when i was just messing with you with the "i place a curse on you" thing so that i'd fight back about it, which i wont.
