2012 That Was Close…
In recognition of the Friday opening of 2012 I’ve decided to post this little news blurb:
Although no one noticed at the time, the Earth was almost hit by an asteroid last Friday.
The previously undiscovered asteroid came within 8,700miles of Earth but astronomers noticed it only 15 hours before it made its closest approach.
Its orbit brought it 30 times nearer than the Moon, which is 250,000 miles away.
I must admit that I absolutely love “End Of The World As We Know It” scenarios. It’s a guilty pleasure I suppose. No, I don’t consider zombie stories as part of a EOTWAWKI scenario. I simply consider zombie stories stupid.
But that’s another discussion.
