Those hummers are vicious little fighters. I've seen one chase others away from our feeder repeatedly. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: utah astronomy listserve utah astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, February 7, 2013 10:09 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Direct hit / 2012 DA14 near miss We all know there's been a lot of recent talk about the upcoming asteroid "near miss".  In fact I had two more emails about it today. So I got a chuckle when I found mixed in with today's emails of a direct hit. Note that no one was harmed in the making of this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/offshorebirder2/8450831539/in/photostream But regarding 2012 DA14, the latest data has its closest approach closer than previously thought, but only about 50km closer.  So it's still not going to hit us.  But I sure hope it's clear that night as I'd really like to see it. Its predicted postion has also changed but only very slightly.
