Did anyone feel the rush of cosmic dust particles pass you by? Man, this is a NEAR MISS! AGAIN! (or as Comedian George Carlin has put: A NEAR HIT).
Folks, THIS IS NOT THE ASTROID FROM JAN 7, 2001! (that one here-- http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/01/07/killer.asteroid/?related: )
These being TWO DIFFERENT astroids that went a wizzin' by in less of a 90 day time span. Look at the distance from the both of 'em! What the heck is going on up there, somebody playing pool? A few cosmic lords enjoying a good game of billards? heh heh heh
Looks like we may have another Hale-Bop type comet with same sky show in the near future as well.
