Asteroid 2012KT42 passes earth closer than geosync satellite

Sagemind says...

2012 KT42 is an asteroid discovered by Alex R. Gibbs of the Mt. Lemmon Survey (part of the Catalina Sky Survey) with a 1.5-m reflector + CCD on May 28, 2012. The asteroid had a close approach to the Earth on May 29, 2012, approaching to only Distance: ~8950 miles / ~14,440 km above the planet's surface. This means 2012 KT42 came inside the Clarke Belt of geosynchronous satellites. As of May 28, 2012, the estimated 5 to 10 meter wide asteroid ranked #6 on the top 20 list of closest-approaches to Earth. There was no danger of a collision during the close approach. 2012 KT42 will pass roughly 0.01 AU (1,500,000 km; 930,000 mi) from Venus on 2012 July 8.[3]

It is estimated that an impact would produce an upper atmosphere air burst equivalent to 11 kt TNT,[4] roughly equal to Hiroshima's Little Boy. The asteroid would be vaporized as these small impacts occur approximately once per year. A comparable-sized object caused the Sutter's Mill meteorite in California on 2012 April 22. It was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 2012 May 30.[5]

NASA Finds DNA Components in Meteorites

>> ^TheGenk:

This proves my holy Book was right all along. And no, I am not talking about the Bible, I'm talking about the Great Book of Space Pool. Which says that the creator of all things, the three legged, three armed space pool player called Zn'oort created life on earth by playing nine ball in space with asteroids and meteroids. And, well, we all know the rest.


Yeah, and I gotta clean it all up afterwards.

Or that the components of life may have been created in outer space. Life itself requires more than these molecules, but their arrival on Earth was crucial, if that's the way it happened.>> ^Trancecoach:

seems like a viable theory that life, as we know it, started in outer space.
