A ‘potentially hazardous’ asteroid to pass Earth by tomorrow

The ‘potentially hazardous’ part comes from the fact it measures about 3,250 feet in diameter, which makes it bigger than the Burj Khalifa. Combine that with a travelling speed of 34,000 miles per hour and you can see why the space agency has given it the label.
Nasa’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) says the asteroid (known as 163373 (2002 PZ39)) will reach it’s closest point to Earth on February 15, 2020, at 6.05am Eastern Time – which is 11.05am here in the UK.
'Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are currently defined based on parameters that measure the asteroid’s potential to make threatening close approaches to the Earth,’ Nasa said in a statement.
If the asteroid did end up hitting us, it would wipe out millions and trigger a ‘nuclear winter’ type event that would be catastrophic.
Thankfully, three million miles is a long way off. Not in space terms, but it is for us – actually, to put it in context, it’s about 15 times the distance from the Earth to the moon.
Also, having an asteroid pass by Earth isn’t that special. CNEOS currently lists about 20 that are set to pass us by in the next month alone.
‘On a daily basis, about one hundred tons of interplanetary material drifts down to the Earth’s surface. Most of the smallest interplanetary particles that reach the Earth’s surface are the tiny dust particles that are released by comets as their ices vaporize in the solar neighborhood,’ CNEOS says.
‘The vast majority of the larger interplanetary material that reaches the Earth’s surface originates as the collision fragments of asteroids that have run into one another some eons ago.’
The agency does go into some detail about would would happen if one of these rocks did end up smashing into us.
‘With an average interval of about 10,000 years, rocky or iron asteroids larger than about 100 meters would be expected to reach the Earth’s surface and cause local disasters or produce the tidal waves that can inundate low lying coastal areas.’
On an average of every several hundred thousand years or so, asteroids larger than a kilometer could cause global disasters. In this case, the impact debris would spread throughout the Earth’s atmosphere so that plant life would suffer from acid rain, partial blocking of sunlight, and from the firestorms resulting from heated impact debris raining back down upon the Earth’s surface.
‘Since their orbital paths often cross that of the Earth, collisions with near-Earth objects have occurred in the past and we should remain alert to the possibility of future close Earth approaches. It seems prudent to mount efforts to discover and study these objects, to characterize their sizes, compositions and structures and to keep an eye upon their future trajectories.’
But none of that will happen tomorrow, so enjoy your weekend. - Jeff Parsons

Of course the "haters" will whine: "What does this have to do with the Bible?" I'll answer now so you don't have to post: The events in Revelation can be chronologically linked to a domino effect of an asteroid strike.
As for the flat earthers, I cannot preemptively answer them, they don't believe asteroids exist.

Ooooh no Chuck! People Chuck is right and not sure why he did not post this Scripture???
Revelation 16:22 " And asteroids (like hemorrhoids) 7 times the size of the globlet sphere earth will SMASH into the earth killing all my people and prophecy is now irrelevant! Thus sayeth the Lord!

Chuck quotes his master,
‘The vast majority of the larger interplanetary material that reaches the Earth’s surface originates as the collision fragments of asteroids that have run into one another some eons ago.’
WOW! Chuck this reminds me of when I was a little boy watching the faked moon landings! Sitting there with a bowl of cap'n crunch in awe!
So do you sit with a bowl of mush while drooling over this propaganda???
So ho does all of that happen through a firmament the Bible describes the earth as enclosed in???
Got to honor your school teachers and NASA over what the Bible says, right Chuck?

Chuckster quotes his favorite goons again,

It seems prudent to mount efforts to discover and study these objects, to characterize their sizes, compositions and structures and to keep an eye upon their future trajectories. end quote.
Short version of above in Christian view - Always be prepared to stick your head close to your rump and kiss your keister goodbye because Yahuwah is no longer in control!

King James Only,
I went to your link and viewed your video. I couldn't get through it all, felt like with the rock and roll music, the constant joking around and the guest sounded drunk. From what I gathered, he didn't survey large areas. Therefore the earth was essentially flat for him.

Obviously you was biased of the whole video, just because you didn't like the music, which only last for a short time. Claiming they sounded drunk??? Excuses excuses is you Chuck! The 32 year legit retired surveyor did NOT believe anything of a flat earth until stumbling across this flat earth site! He calls in on his own, its really quite believable and you can tell it is not rehearsed! Your biased and do not know for real people interviews obviously Chuck!
You would rather believe the lies of Rome, never to do your own experiments! Trust in your books Chuck!

Teddy,
You thrive on fringe conspiracy theories whether they are true or not. You choose them. I do believe there are conspiracies such as our banking system, hidden spirits among us, etc... but I thrive on truth. And a flat earth is not true but a conspiracy theory tailored for people just like you.
