Asteroid 2004 MN4 will come very close to Earth

Today's good news comes from spaceweather.com. Note how close the projected asteroid trajectory is to Earth:


ASTEROID NEWS: There's no danger of a collision, but on April 13, 2029, asteroid 2004 MN4 will come very close to Earth, according to new radar measurements by NASA and NAIC scientists. Sky watchers 24 years from now will be able to see the 300m-wide space rock glowing like a 3rd magnitude
star as it passes only 30,000 km above our planet's surface. "3rd magnitude" means barely visible from brightly-lit cities, but easy to see from the darker countryside. Mark your calendar!

I hope nobody forgot the "carry the one" or anything on those calcs...

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign</pre><p></font color=red>

maybe it will hit the moon throwing its reovultion off a couple of degrees and therefore throwing the earths revolution off a couple degrees instantly freezing us all[/sod]

Hold on, I'll just dig out my 2029 calender. I always like to stock up for the next 30 years.

Stay hidden. For the next 24 years! Just to be sure.

What happened was Tom's just stopped loading so I hit the X and came back. I didn't know it doubled
