Space Weather News for Jan. 21, 2015
http://spaceweather.com


Early next week, a large asteroid named 2004 BL86 will fly past the
Earth-Moon system. There's no danger of a collision, but NASA radars
will be monitoring the mountain-sized space rock as it passes by only
745,000 miles away. Amateur astronomers can watch the flyby, too.
Glowing like a 9th magnitude star, 2004 BL86 will be an easy target
for backyard telescopes on the night of closest approach, Jan. 26-27.
Check http://spaceweather.com for observing tips and more
information.

Would that be an asteroid or a meteoroid? If it's not in the asteroid
belt, how is it an asteroid?

Ya know, Google is your friend. You could have found the answer
to your question with just a few key-strokes...

You wasted five minutes of my ****ing precious time with this post.
You didn't answer the question. I know the ****ing difference between
comets and asteroids. Do you know the ****ing difference between a
meteoroid and an asteroid? dumbass. Is this ****ing flying space rock
an asteroid or a meteoroid? you dumbass.


This signature is now the ultimate
power in the universe


You didn't read the article, did you... moron.


I wasted my valuable time reading some nonsense about comets, dumbass.
It didn't answer the question, numbnutz. You are officially listed in
my book of idiots.

You said... "If it's not in the asteroid belt, how is it an asteroid?"

.... and I provided a link that tells us that "most-asteroids-are-not-in-the-asteroid-belt"... just what part of this simple concept don't you understand? I don't think you time is all that valuable...
