A too close flyby wil be made by Near-Earth asteroid 2005 YU55, will pass within 0.85 lunar distances from the Earth on November 8, 2011. The upcoming close approach by this relatively large between 110 - 240 meter-sized, C-type asteroid. Is one of the hazardous asteroids that can hit us in the future.
The asteroid 2005 YU55, is a round mini-world that is about 110 to 240 meters in diameter. In November, this asteroid will approach Earth within 0.85 lunar distances.

Asteroid 2005 YU55 was discovered by Spacewatch at the University of Arizona, Tucson’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory on Dec. 28, 2005.
It will be close
This “potentially hazardous asteroid ” will be so close that several observatorys will pay close attention on the approach to Earth, specially to predict future close approaches and determine if it can put our planet at risk of being hit.

about 3 football fields in diameter? seems like we can get rid of some nukes and blast it into basketball court sized, at best, threats....a fireworks show...some minor collateral damage we can prep for...maybe a minor tsunami or two...but no doomsday...the damage`d be less than what we do to ourselves now....
ReplyDeletei think it will do more damage than you think its 65000 megatons energy
ReplyDeleteWe should catch it and use it as floating land to isolate whatever we need to isolate form earth
ReplyDeleteHOW FAST IS 2005 YU55 TRAVELING ?
