Asteroids


~image linked~


Asteroid 2008 TC3 was discovered only 24 hours before its entry into our atmosphere. It was between 2 and 5 meters and predicted to become an impressive shooting star on its journey into Sudan Africa toward the Red Sea...

This is a big reminder about Near Earth Objects...

This animation from Harvard shows the objects that were near the earth from 2007-2008




There are currently "known" 988 potentially hazardous asteroids...
