That is cool that there could be an asteroid that can be seen from good binoculars on Friday. We are also really lucky that the asteroid does not hit us. I think that it is interesting how our satellites track the asteroid and measure how close it will get to us and when it will get that close to us. I have never seen an asteroid but think that it is cool to know how long they orbit, when they orbit, and how big they can get. I can't believe that something from space could be that big. I will be watching on Friday night trying to see the asteroid. hat was really interesting.
I think that this is a danger for Europe, Africa and most of Asia. Corey (just to make a point) the asteroid will not be passing by North America and South America as it says in the article. The United States of America is lucky that it will not hit us and damage all of our lives. I think that it is cool that satellites measure the distance of the asteroid from the center of the Earth and from the crust. It is also really interesting that the asteroid is super large and heavy. If it did (which it will not hopefully) crash into earth, it would probably kill millions of innocent human beings. This article has great information, graphs (that I did not understand), and a view from a person's perspective. I give this an A+.
I had no clue that an asteroid was going to pass by the world in two days. I find it interesting that it'll pass right through the ring that indicates the orbiting satellites and the Earth. And it's a good thing that it won't collide with the Earth. I don't think it would be good if half of the world would be enveloped by a 7 rector scale earthquake. I wonder if I can use my new telescope to watch it fly by...
Whew! We're lucky that the asteroid didn't hit Earth, because that would cause a GIGANTIC problem. We're also lucky that we have good satellites that can track how far away the asteroid is and when it will pass Earth. And Gracie, I don't think that it is a danger for any part of the Earth because the article did not say that the asteroid would hit Earth, it said it would pass by it very closely. Plus, even if it does hit Earth, I hope it doesn't do much damage (which will be highly unlikely) and that it happens in a billion years or so. I think that this was an interesting article and I give it an A+.
Yeah...so this is interesting. When anybody brings up an astroid, it pretty much always interesting. Like Sabina said, this astroid came really close to Earth, and if it hit Earth, it would cause a huge problem. This was a close call, and honestly, if it was any closer, Earth might not even be the same. It's pretty scary to think that something so big, that people tell stories about that you think would never happen actually came so close to Earth. It's really creepy. But, scientists say that it's fine, and that the astroid comes near Earth twice every year, so, it's fine.
This is pretty cool that an asteroid came that close to us. That asteroid is very big. I think that it would not be a gigantic problem if it hit Earth like some of your guys are saying. It would have to hit something, and then it would slow down. This article had some great graphics. I credit the guy who drew this. That was an interesting article!
Thank God the human race didn't end. I don't know if the astroid was visible or not, but it would have been really cool to see it. For an astroid, less than 20,000 miles is very close to miss, less than one mile would be soooooooooo dangerous. When I first read this before the 17th, I wanted to pack everything so I don't die, but now I know that I was just acting crazy. A very interesting and dramatic post. Overall, cool and scary.
I read about this on weather.com a few weeks ago and after reading the first sentence I may have freaked out. Just a little. But Think about it this is a one in a lifetime experience. While we may be freaking out scientists are bouncing of the walls excitement. I mean think about it, This is the closest an astroid can be without getting sucked into the earth's atmosphere and it can be seen by everyone. This is the perfect distance that way it is not too close that it will crash into our satellites and crash into earth. And people please dont worry about it crashing in the first place. Scientists have monitored this astroid and after quadruple checking their math they are 100% sure it won't crash.
This is pretty interesting. I think that it is cool that you were able to see an sstroid on Friday if you has binoculars. It was close and I am grateful that we didn't get hit. As Gracie said, this would be scary if we lived in Asia and Europe because then there is more of a chance we would get injured, even though, thankfully, no one did this time.
