Asteroid to whiz past Earth Friday

BOSTON – NASA is keeping close tabs on a sizable asteroid set to whiz past our planet Friday in what the US space agency says is the closest flyby ever predicted for such a large object.
About 150 feet (45 meters) in diameter, the asteroid — dubbed 2012 DA 14 — is expected to pass about 17,200 miles (27,000 kilometers) above the Earth at the time of closest approach, about 2:25 pm EST (1925 GMT), NASA said.
“This distance is well away from Earth and the swarm of low Earth-orbiting satellites, including the International Space Station,” it said in a statement on its website.
Still, “the flyby of 2012 DA14 is the closest-ever predicted approach to Earth for an object this large.”
The space agency insisted there was nothing to fear.
“NASA places a high priority on tracking asteroids and protecting our home planet from them,” it said.
The asteroid will be visible in eastern Europe, Australia and Asia, according to astronomers, and NASA noted the flyby will provide a “unique opportunity for researchers to study a near-Earth object up close.”
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California planned a half-hour broadcast incorporating real-time animation to show the asteroid’s location.
Meanwhile, the Goldstone Solar System Radar, located in California’s Mojave Desert, was poised to take radar images of the asteroid over the coming days to determine its exact size and shape.
The 2012 DA 14 was discovered by chance by astronomers after passing nearby last February.
NASA estimates a smallish asteroid like 2012 DA 14 flies close to the Earth every 40 years, on average, but only hits our planet once every 1,200 years.
Astronomers have detected some 9,500 celestial bodies of various sizes that pass near Earth, but they estimate that’s only a tenth of what’s out there.
i've seen one more than 20 years ago. i was walking with my mother at night at our home town when suddenly there was this big fireball across the sky, from south to north. it was fast but not as fast as that in the moscow video. i don't remember hearing a sonic boom though. must have been just a small meteorite.
Wheres OB to explain all this?

i remember someone posted in some thread that God prevents things from crashing into earth
yeah right

protected tayo *uls. take note mo yun pyramids of Egypt, they are built
kung san meron strongest mass ang lupa ng mundo.
they also say that when fighter planes fly directly above the tip of the pyramids, masisira ang instrumentation ng jet
so what's the theory giza pyramids? it's the same as the Las Vegas Mirage, it emits light to and fro outer space.
the only diff with giza pyramids is the we cannot see the kind of light that is emitting. in fact, it's still undetectable sa technology natin ngaun.
may theory dito that that light is directly controlled by God. if an asteroid is predicted to hit us say December 21, 2012. yun other end of the invisible light will be recalibrated by just a simple mm or inch adjustment, so that by 2012, the asteroid will just have a near miss.
so think of the pyramids as our God's own wiring harness to protect us from collisions.
They said its a size of a bus, malamang Nova bus yan kaya madaming nasugatan.
Though I'm a little concern that it entered earth undetected. The 900 casualties could have been avoided if they have predicted the impact site at least hours before impact.
Congress Plans to Hold Hearings Over Our Little Asteroid ProblemThis morning's meteor explosion in Russia resulted in more than 900 injuries, making the fact that the hurtling space rock was undetected by any Earth-based telescope more than a little disconcerting

This is a regular occurrence in the history of the earth... the good thing is that it was an airburst and didn't impact on the ground.
year 1908

It is estimated the asteroid entered Earth's atmosphere traveling at a speed of about 33,500 miles per hour. During its quick plunge, the 220-million-pound space rock heated the air surrounding it to 44,500 degrees Fahrenheit. At 7:17 a.m. (local Siberia time), at a height of about 28,000 feet, the combination of pressure and heat caused the asteroid to fragment and annihilate itself, producing a fireball and releasing energy equivalent to about 185 Hiroshima bombs.
