Asteroid bigger than Empire State Building heading towards Earth

By Charlotte Edwards, The Sun
May 12, 2022

NASA is keeping a close eye on a huge asteroid that’s heading towards Earth.

The US space agency expects Asteroid 388945 (2008 TZ3) to make a close approach to our planet on May 15.

The giant space rock is predicted to be up to 1,608 feet wide.

In comparison, New York’s iconic Empire State Building stands at 1,454 feet tall.

An asteroid of this size would cause some serious damage if it hit Earth.

There’s no need to panic though as Asteroid 388945 (2008 TZ3) should pass us from a distance of about 3.5 million miles away.

Hmmm, sorry Bruce has Aphasia, maybe get Vin Diesel? I mean if things are really looking Pitch Black that is.

Would it be out of line to pray for a course change?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
