This must be the reason of the non-melting snowballs. Or zombies.

When is it supposed to arrive?

So did we die?

Were we ever really alive? #wowthatsdeep

 

[whirlybirds]

Some time soon. Being this close, it will be impossible to "see" live. They just keep talking about the risk level keeps rising, but extinction level, keeps dropping.

Watch at 21:10

Why do I just see a tent?

 

[whirlybirds]

Hit "LIVE"

 

[CyArob]

No chance of being clobbered tonight? Spoiler much?

2 million miles away. That's 9 times the distance of the moon from Earth.

This is what I do when I'm trying to get to my 2,000th post!

Are we dead yet?

 

[whirlybirds]

Potentially hazardous, as in if it were to hit the Earth, which it will not (at least not this time around), it would do some damage.

 

[SeattleClone]

I hope it hits Nebraska.

 

[CycloneErik]

I hope it hits Nebraska.

I wouldn't wish that on any asteroid.
