Asteroid

I feel like it's 2020 again, either that or 2020 has bled through into in 2021. It figures that one of the largest asteroids known to man would want to do a fly-by in the middle of a freaking pandemic. This asteroid, named 2001 FO32, is estimated to be about 3,000 feet diameter...

this particular asteroid is about two times the size of the Empire Sate Building and, in case you 've never been to New York City, that's pretty freakin' huge.

If you're looking for a little more reassurance that you won't die today for a mondo space chunk hum-chucking into our world than what an overweight morning radio host can provide, take it directly from the source itself.

The number of things we've had to deal with on a global level since January of this year has been absolutely insane- and it's not over yet.

For crying out loud, is there really a headline anymore that surprises anyone? We've got protests, coronavirus, ebola, murder hornets, Hurricanes and now skyscraper-sized space projectiles hurdling towards earth. I suppose, at the very least, it would be good of me to start by letting you know that this behemoth will pass by our planet at a "safe distance"...

After witnessing some of the damage that a dinner table-sized meteor did last week after crashing into central Russia, imagine the magnitude of destruction that would have occurred if that flaming rock was the length of 18 football fields. Now stop imagining, because scientists say it happened.
