Isn't there supposed to be a huge meteor hitting the earth soon?

Question

My teacher in high school told me that one was on track, but this was 6 years ago. Any ideas of where such a meteor is located?

Answer 1

There is always a possibility of it.

Some asteroids are in eccentric orbits that make them potential threats.

We know very little about when one will hit and what the magnitude will be.

Answer 2

LoL there is unlikely to be a meteor crash in 2012, and NASA can, actually, come across a meteor heading in the direction of the Earth. we've stepped forward sufficient structures that we could come across and detour a meteor long earlier it hit the Earth. we've never completed it earlier, yet in basic terms putting something in a meteor's way at the same time as that's some distance sufficient out in area could deflect it sufficient that it may pass over our planet fullyyt. whether we've a lot of action pictures approximately having to deliver up communities and hearth nuclear missiles at incoming projectiles, in basic terms "throwing a rock" at one edge of it may deliver it on a distinctive direction. there is not any friction in area, so changing a meteor's trajectory must be particularly uncomplicated; we in basic terms have not tried it yet. No concerns.

Answer 3

No... if it were true, Nasa.gov would definitely have something posted about it.

I read something earlier today about an asteroid which was, at one point, thought to be on track to hit earth; however, it was later determined that it was not going to hit earth after all. I looked and unfortunately I cannot find the URL of where I read that... however, it might have been the reason for what your teacher said.

Answer 4

Maybe soon, but maybe not. I haven't heard of a huge meteor heading towards us. But in the long term ( and I really mean the long run - millions of years ahead) - it is inevitable. Just this is what theory of probability says.

Answer 5

Yes it hit 3 days ago, you are in:

1. Heaven

2. Hell

3. If you do not believe in either of the above you should probably quit Yahoo answers because we all ceased to exist.


LMAO

Answer 6

There have been several near misses. In astronomical terms, a "near miss" is anything closer than the moon's orbit, so even a near miss isn't much of a threat.

Answer 7

I heard Elvis is going to announce his presence right before it hits!

Answer 8

yes we are going to get slammed by wormwood..better pay some rent and get in a bomb shelter quick i am!

Answer 9

we are About 10,000 years away from a "possible" collision.
