A 70-ft asteroid will skim by the Earth tomorrow...

[kentuck]

...even closer than our Moon. Reportedly, it was only recently discovered.

1. 20500. Just sayin'. NT

2. Any chance it will change course and hit mar a lago?

3. Gravitational pull fragmentation.

Low risk event, but theoretically possible.

4. That's some cheerful wishful thinking. I like it.

5. No. 56,000 miles - a quarter of the way to the moon - is as close as it gets

They know its trajectory well by now, and it can't just change - like geostationary satellites (about half the distance to the Earth) can't just change suddenly.

6. Thank you. It was an attempt at a joke.

[muriel_volestrangler]

7. I thought it probably was, but the first reply took it seriously

so I thought something else ought to too, saying it's not going to happen.

[chicoescuela]

8. Appreciate that. My attempts at humor are not always apparent.

9. What is there to say but...

[OGBuzz]

10. Is there any way to send co-ordinates for Mar-a-Lago up to the asteroid?

11. How many other objects are zooming around out there that they haven't discovered? And didn't DOGE cut these programs?

The ones that search for asteroids?
