60 meter asteroid DA14 will pass *under* our orbital satellites next february. That's scary close. How close?

A tunguska -like event over new york will not be a good thing, but, only time will tell... http://rt.com/news/paint-asteroid-earth-nasa-767/ How do you tell if its an asteroid or a comet when it hits. I'm looking at a picture of Tempel 1 Its a very dry comet with crates in craters. Get the picture TreBert |
