Just Found! Asteroid 2015 SZ2 Close Encounter with Earth Sept. 30, 2015 / Watch the Next 5 Close Approaches

The space rock is expected to reach a point about 314,000 miles from our planet (1.3 LD).

The 99 feet extraterrestrial visitor will not poses any threat to our planet, experts say.
2015 SZ2  discovered only 2 days ago!

While NASA makes a point to monitor asteroids that have the potential to enter Earth’s “air space,” sometimes the smaller asteroids, such as this one, aren’t discovered until they’re very close to Earth.
Of course, the bigger the object, the easier it is to spot.

For the foreseeable future, Earth will continue to reside in a cosmic shooting gallery with an enormous 
number of currently unknown objects, some of which may have a direct bead on us without our knowing.

“We need to find them before they find us!” Slooh’s technical and research director, Paul Cox said in a statement a few months ago.

  • The Earth goes round the sun, the entire solar system goes round the centre of the galaxy, the Sagittarius black hole. The Mayans knew this because they observed it for thousands of years, long before Galileo. The quadrant of the milky way we are now in, was named Xibulba bay. It’s rocky. That is all it takes, one big rock, and it’s GAME OVER. It’s happened before and will happen again.

    • I ask you seriously anon. Do you wish to have the children of this generation grow up in a cesspool of evil and dangerous pollution of the earth, or do you think a re-start is better for all ?

      You should not discourage us who wish this It is unkind of you…
