Don't worry, @LadyStanley will survive the impact & continue her legendary volunteer reporting for the post-apocalyptic version of HFBoards ... ala Mad Max ...Posting in a soon to be legendary thread that will be wiped from existence (like everything else) when this thing hits. Humans have had a good run but it's time to be cleansed.
Discovered in 2024, next observation period would be 2028.
Different laser.Yeah that navy demonstration was impressive.
Get the ICBMs ready…
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The threat of a newly discovered asteroid has risen slightly in the past few weeks, as the world’s telescopes rush to track its course. But the chance of an impact is still quite slim.
New calculations suggest there’s a 2% chance the space rock 2024 YR4 will smack Earth in 2032. This also means there’s a 98% chance it will safely pass our planet. The odds of a strike will almost certainly continue to go up and down as the asteroid’s path around the sun is better understood, and astronomers said there’s a good chance the risk likely will drop to zero.
It was simply a clever alien distraction, while the invaders built their intergalactic battle fleet for the REAL catastrophe.![]()
Earth safe from 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 'That's impact probability zero folks!'
"Asteroid 2024 YR4 has now been reassigned to Torino Scale Level Zero, the level for 'No Hazard' as additional tracking of its orbital path has reduced its possibility of intersecting the Earth to below the 1-in-1000 threshold."www.space.com
Sorry fellow humans, looks like we're gonna have to work on our problems.
