Missed it by *that* much
-
F'ing NASA was looking the WRONG WAY
The asteroid, named 2021 SG, has a diameter of around 42 to 94 m, with a diameter or around 68 m, which makes it around half the size of the great pyramids.
The asteroid tracker EarthSky has it listed for September 16, but NASA only detected it a day later.
Yep, we almost got hit by an asteroid that we didn’t even notice.
The asteroid got super close to us, according to EarthSky. It was around half the distance between the earth and the moon—that’s how close. It passed Greenland and Canada at just past midnight GST on the 17th, an extremely close call.
This has happened before, and will happen again. One came from the sun that was smaller on September 7 that was only around 3.5m, just 15 thousand km from the earth.

Does anyone else care that the sun is shooting rocks at us?

Pfffttt … if you don’t like this sun, go create your own.
Or vote with your planet thrusters. -

Maybe God doesn't love us anymore.
