Video: Large Asteroid To Narrowly Miss Earth November 8

 

An asteroid a quarter-mile-wide is headed towards earth but will surely miss our planet this November 8th. It is the closest an asteroid of this size has come to earth since 1976. "There is no chance that this object will collide with the Earth or moon," Don Yeomans, the manager of NASA's Near Earth Object Program office, told Reuters.

That does not mean this pesky asteroid which is bigger than an aircraft carrier will not present a problem in the future. 2005 YU55 as this asteroid is called could do significant damage to our planet if it were to make contact at a later date.  The Associated Press spoke to Jay Melosh, a professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Purdue University, who said that the asteroid would create a four-mile wide crater 1,700 feet deep. It could cause 70-foot tsunami waves and shake the ground like a magnitude-7 earthquake.

Nasty stuff should that ever occur but for now, I guess we should thank our lucky stars, no pun intended, that in 2011, 2005 YU55 appears to be on a course that will miss the earth.
