We can only imagine how much the Dow Jones Industrial Average would rally on news of the end of humanity. Thankfully we won’t be around to witness it.
In upbeat news today, there’s a mile long asteroid floating around out that that experts say could finally end life on Earth.
The asteroid was linked to a one inch meteor that streaked a fireball through the sky of Japan three years ago and could eventually threaten humanity if it breaks up. The catch: it would likely happen millions of years from now, according to Fox News.
Toshihiro Kasuga, a visiting scientist at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and Kyoto Sangyo University, said in a release Wednesday: “The potential breakup of the rock could be dangerous to life on Earth. Those resulting asteroids could hit the Earth in the next 10 million years or so.”
The fireball that was seen over Kyoto in April 2017 was a one inch meteor that broke off of the asteroid, scientists later determined.

In the early morning of April 28, 2017, a small fireball crept across the sky over Kyoto, Japan.

Kasuga said: “We uncovered the fireball’s true identity. The 2017 fireball and its parent asteroid gave us a behind-the-scenes look at meteors.”
The asteroid is known as 2003 YT1, and according to scientists is made up of two parts: “the larger rock measures 1.2 miles and is orbited by a 690-foot piece.”
“The parent body 2003 YT1 could break up and those resulting asteroids could hit the Earth in the next 10 million years or so, especially because 2003 YT1 has a dust production mechanism,” Kasuga concluded.
The asteroid was first discovered in 2003 and has a history of “cracking and releasing dust particles into space”.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Finally, something we can really worry about!
I don’t care what this planet killing rock is called, I still plan to vote for it in 2024.
Please bring on an entire flock of asteroids……anything….Godzilla, I am begging you, I can’t take another second of the Dem impeachment managers droning on in a moronic monotone. ARRRGH!
No there isn’t.
Scare tactic #355 Incoming Asteroid.
How does that play into gravity?
How does it play into The Big Bang? Everything exploded outward from a massive explosion and now things are just moving in whatever direction they feel like?
Nothing makes any sense. 90% of everything I have ever heard concerning astronomy sounds like what a classroom full of fired up kids might come up with to describe the world. Creative, funny, but not even close to approximating reality.
The same trails that lead to the NSF lead to Boeing, Rocketdyne, Westinghouse, and so on.
And lots of very good filmmakers, I agree. But, some of the images? Unforgettable, weren’t they? I cued this documentary to some of the the images I remember seeing as a little kid, wide-eyed in front of the little television on top of the other television.
Would it to surprise you if I told you the policies and directives of the National Science Foundation, established by Truman to guide and direct education to maximize science potential after WWII, were significantly altered to be inclusive of women and ethnic minorities in the 80s.
To the point the main focus seems to be making all ethnic and minority points of view more equal than other points of view.
Do you see the point of these sorts of studies by our National Science Foundation?
There are lots and lots of these charts, graphs and statistical trash there that will make your blood boil. My point is that even the institutions you would think safe from subjective control are NOT. Take a look at the Board. That is how they are referred to… the “Board.” Trust me… everyone in the Science and Tech business, private or government, knows what the Board is…

Is cued up at a discussion by a engine specialist named Sonny Moran, who worked on the rocket propulsion team. Relative of anyone we know here?
I’m with you HSF. Does the truth exist?
“God is not dead”. It’s a movie.
More doom porn!
Here’s the pattern.
Every single day the MSM will feature a story across the full spectrum of TV/Radio/Internet/Print some kind of scary story. Viruses, riots, asteroids, climate disasters, hurricanes, school shootings, refugee columns marching toward the border, killer bees, drug deaths, suicides, NK missiles, Iranian nukes, etc.
There is never a day without it and it repeats on this endless loop to keep people in a perpetual state of fear and anxiety even if they aren’t really dwelling on it consciously. It’s always bullshit, nothing ever comes from it.
Once you see it it can’t be unseen.
If it bleeds.. it leads.
For the MSM even good news is “terrifying”
“Those resulting asteroids could hit the Earth in the next 10 million years or so.”
Still a little time to prepare. Thank God. I’m on it.
GCP, you’re the best. Seriously.
At least until my next comment… ?
We are only as good as our next comment around here.
I’m guessing you are storing up treasure elsewhere.
Nice puppy. See the object(s) of my affection?
There are only two credible solutions to the end of the world. Democrats: We need an asteroid tax. The Burning Platform: Buy GOLD!
The biggest worry should be when I finish my Mega-Gamma Proton Neutral Death Ray . I’ll have it placed on the moon with a sign that reads:
DESTROY EARTH…1 INTER-STELLAR BUCK !
I normally don’t comment on such “Fear Porn”, but it is a good opportunity to ask Indentured Servant to come back and make a statement as he wished for a asteroid ELE daily for years around here.
IS….say something dude, I know you are out there. Many of us were interested in your articles/posts. EC not included.
Same sentiment as Bea!
Is this pick on EC week? I had no beef with I-S. He got the impression that I was the one making fun of his physical defects, I thinks that’s a low blow and wouldn’t do such a thing. I said there’s plenty to harass a person by attacking their sexual orientation or brains. There’s just some people who work hard at being unlikable and I-S was one of those. Sure, I suggested he could bring about the end of the world by just offing himself but that wasn’t personal, it was more of a why wait?
EC- Not picking on you, just didn’t want to include you as community member that gives a shit.
You need Big Bambu to handle Paulita.
She’s just a friend.
Hopefully the impeachment proceedings will be over by then.
Not if Schumer has anything to do with it. Personally, I think Chuck was one of those scrawny kids who dreaded going to the Boys Locker Room after gym class.
