  • asteroid potential threat to Earth

    From Aug@2:460/256 to All on Fri Nov 24 10:00:47 2023
    Hi All...


    "An asteroid, unnoticed since its discovery in 2007, has now grabbed the attention of scientists as a potential threat to Earth in the year 2024. Known as 2007 FT3, this 'lost asteroid' made only a brief appearance on the astronomical stage with a mere 1.2 days of tracking before evading further observation"

    ... "at a probability of 0.0000087 percent" this is click bait, and posted in the right area here... ;-)

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Yeah... I was VERY disappointed in the "as a potential threat
    to Earth in the year 2024" percent! ;)

    But then again, so much is NOT yet known about that one, so
    estimates and calculations could change.

    The 3 asteroids striking Jupiter was interesting news when that
    was forcast.
