They say there is nothing to fear since the Asteroid (1/2 mile wide) will be passing around NOON (Eastern time) at 1.1 the distance from Earth to the Moon on July 3.... ......call me CRAZY ***would*** we be WORRIED if it came at 0.1 distance (instead of 1.1) from the Earth?? Why you ask? Because that's the asteroids distance from the Moon, therefore it might hit the Moon (perhaps due to it's gravity)?!?!? And then there might be THREE dangers: 1. The moon will be knocked off balance (2000 miles wide hit by 1/2 mile Asteroid) and it's gravity may affect Earth's own balance? 2. What would prevent the Moon from not hitting the Earth (since the Moon's velocity direction (+ gravity pull) may be re-aimed towards the Earth after the impact? 3. One web link says ***if**** the Asteroid would hit the Earth, it could bring life to Saturn's moon Titan, because fragments of Earth rock would go all the way the http://www.whatistheword.com/story/SciTech_767.html THAT'S NICE BUT LIKEWISE FRAGMENTS FROM THE MOON if it were hit by the Asteroid would therefore logically ALSO HIT EARTH????? |
