Cleopatra Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I was about to say that it's 1.32am tomorrow here and the asteroid passed without striking earth so you can all breathe easily but it seems you all realised that last night.

Dizzy Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Blummin' heck Bill I'm going to have to google now as I was just about to go to bed. How long will it take to pass, are we still safe.... or should I open another bottle and go out with a smile on my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think I may have just seen it! Just been and had a look out of the window. Would it look like a star in the sky? One star seems to be moving erratically without travelling far but all the other stars appear static in the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I dont think it's visible without some good binoculars or a telescope but even then it's gona be very dim. If you're seeing what look like stars moving then they'll just be satellites. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 According to a boffin tonight, if it had hit, it would have left a crater the size of London - and that was a small one; so let's hope we don't see any big ones eh?!

Dizzy Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 If it had been a little bit earlier it could have hit the moon http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/541440main_2005_YU55_approach.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 If it had been a little bit earlier it could have hit the moon http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/541440main_2005_YU55_approach.gif Then you would have seen a tidal wave or we would have been covered in 'Green Cheese' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
