150 sq. mile asteroid to hit earth in 65 years

Computer model predicts 150 sq. mile asteroid to hit earth in 65 years – wipe out human civilization like that of Dinosaurs

According to some computer models an early indication is given that an asteroid is headed towards the earth that may crush on earth’s surface in the year 2070 or earlier.

The data received is vague and is yet to be confirmed but the size and shape of the series of asteroids coming earth’s way is very scary.

Asteroids are rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets.

Some consider the Asteroids as part of a exploded planet. Some believe that these are parts of solar system that could not form a planet. Most Asteroids are in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter orbit.

Many of these Asteroids sometimes come from other solar systems and even other Galaxies. That is when traditional Asteroid models fail. According to scientists in Delhi, the initial projected model though not confirmed shows that the Asteroids are not from Solar System and are coming a large cluster.

:D

And at that point I really wouldn't give a crap...

I want you to come back and let us know that they've corrected themselves and it will miss us.

they were so advanced for their time, yet so few traces remain. Maybe they managed to get themselves to Mars in time? I believe it will "crash" rather than "crush" on the earth's surface, though there will be plenting of crushing going on. To all the asteroids out there I say "We're not afraid. Bring it on."

Certainly no serious article could be so nonsensical?

These Asteroids will accelerate after entering our Solar System and them strike within 5 years. Once more data is available, we will keep you posted on the same. Sources tell us that Indian Space Research Organization has been notified of this computer model results. Once we obtain more information, we will inform you.

LOL!!

That's kind of an odd way to measure the size of a rock. I guess it sort of makes sense if you're talking about surface area. Are they measuring the peaks and valleys as surface area too? I know it's a nitpick, but they usually measure solids in cubic units or diameter.

None of the article makes any sense.

the porosity of the asteroid, meaning that a SA of 150 sq miles could easily be an asteroid the size of a car.

:crazy:

I do not put much credibility in this report. It sounds like fringe science at best.

asteroids from other galaxies are causing our models of orbital mechanics to break down...cool...

Grammatical and factual (from outside the galaxy? not possible.)

AAAAAAHHHHHHH

Alaska, California, Hawaii, or Florida?

Note: It was a question on the India Daily link above.

Civilized as us, I guess.

Because, what this REALLY means, is that we can say, "F*ck Social Security!"

If this turns out to be accurate, you think folks will go on a spending spree in about 2050?:party:

I trust one of you to take car of it.
