Re: [Utah-astronomy] Incoming! First Asteroid Discovered in 2014 Has Impacted Earth
This one wasn't tiny -- and if it and the big one that slammed Russia recently can sneak up without anybody noticing, yes, it's kind of scary. ------------------------------ On Thu, Jan 2, 2014 10:37 PM MST Chuck Hards wrote:
These little ones hit us all the time, Joe. Nothing new except that after 50,000 years, we can sometimes see them coming.

Looks like the first asteroid discovered this year hit the Earth's atmosphere shortly after it was discovered.

2-3 meters in size. Piddling. Happens several times a year, at least. Why be scared of a natural phenomenon that's been going-on since the earth first formed? And the impact rate is now as low as it's ever been. Nothing we can do about it at the moment, anyway. I'm certainly not going to let it affect my frame of mind.
