Extremely close asteroid activity coming over the next few days.
A cluster known as 2017 HX4 will approach within 0.0091 Lunar Distance of Earth starting tomorrow (May 8th) around 0330 GMT.
Starting at 1430 GMT, objects from cluster 2017 JV1 will approach within 0.005(!) Lunar Distance of Earth, continuing until May 9th at 1130 GMT.
Remember that Russian meteor a few years ago? We have potential for something similar or greater than that! (None of these objects are large enough to be planet killers, sorry.)
More data in thread.
Jose Hall
More data.
Brandon Ross
Fine, ignore this for your fucking RRRRREEE FRANCE! Slide thread.
Justin Jenkins
Explain this to me as if I had brain damage.
Cooper Myers
So this cluster will get as close as ~4000km to earth? That's hella close.
Wyatt Morales
>mfw it hits north korea for us so we dont even need war
Isaac Ross
Big rocks will get between the moon and earth, very close to our planet. May make for nice meteor showers or possible an Event from Space if they manage to land.
Joseph Diaz
oh ok
Zachary Young
Closest I can recall in some time, yes.
Benjamin Watson
Meteor smashes into Macron as he's giving a victory speech desu?
Jaxson Phillips
More info from te part I covered in the first pic.
Jacob Peterson
Anywhere we can watch the approach in real time?
Jack Campbell
How can we find out when the best chance to see a meteor is? Is it equally likely anywhere on the globe or will certain areas see them and others won't?
How large are these things?
Robert Garcia
he already gave his victory speech, but there's still a chance it could crash into and destroy the eiffel tower
Samuel Flores
Outside of NORAD and JPL in-house systems, there's not a site I know of that would accurately track the objects.
Carter King
The size varies.
The trackable ones are at least the size of a small car. If one hits atmo, it will likely burn up.
As for best view of the possible showers from smaller objects, best viewing would be between the Equator and Tropic of Capricorn for HX4.
Not sure about JV1 yet.
Angel Ross
So NASA needs a PA to get more funds. Stop hiring Quota bitches and Niggers and people may help you till then. KYS space jews
John Hughes
How big is it?
Please hit Africa or the middle east if it's small.
Robert Morris
Nothing large enough to kill a city but maybe we'll get something like that one over Russia a few years ago.
Lincoln Wood
If digis are double the meteos take over California
Lincoln Sanchez
Hope it hits a good chunk of north korea..or África..NO tge midle east!!
Gabriel Carter
maybe the asteroid will hit drumpf
Anthony Price
LD is Light-Days you twat. the objects will be ~870000 miles from earth, or ~3.5 the average lunar distance.
Thomas Lopez
a nuke will be smuggled into south korea by someone. (guess who)
this nuke will be detonated as a sattelite is forced into a re-entry trajectory into south korea.
this will be the premise used to start the invasion of North Korea. however it will be blamed on an asteroid.. (oops our bad) to account for the fact that North korea din't attack.
Oliver Cruz
>Remember that Russian meteor a few years ago? Were any detection reports back when?
Ian Young
Iran?
Brayden Edwards
that could work as well. But iran doesn't have their shit together yet. and norht korea invasion people would be like..
we told you to shut up you little fat fuck. and nothing else really would come back from it.
Iran? fuck with a large oil producing country and there will be major problems.
i'd say it's safer to invade north korea than iran.. iran would instantly tirgger a world war.. invading north korea would be like picking on the block's retard kid.. everyone does it.
Owen Thomas
if quads it will hit europe
Liam Ramirez
why africa? why not the uk instead?
Joseph Ramirez
nice idea
sink the whole fucking island
Michael Barnes
Maybe it will fall in Paris as punishment for Maricon
Cooper Stewart
There's a difference between the two?
Sebastian Roberts
We want this to happen.
There's no stopping.
Ryan Myers
Bumping for interest
Levi James
meteor hits gay paris
Josiah Moore
1 au = the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
0.009 au = 1,346,380.8 KM.
We're fine
Jordan Perez
>See comment like this >Wonder how anyone could possibly take Sup Forums seriously
Angel Morris
That's astronomical units, not lunar distance you braindead moron.
Not happening.
Joshua Myers
Please Kek let an asteroid wipe out the Earth already
Brandon Carter
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN
AU is astronomical units, the mean distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Sun.
.009 AU is roughly ~836,602 miles. Fuck km btw The moon is 238,900 miles from earth.
So these rocks are going to be 3 and a half times the distance from the moon to earth.
ITS NOT HAPPENING.

The Triceratops betrayed the Velociraptor /T-Rex alliance and suicide bombed the ICBMs before they could intercept the missile, everyone knows that.
