Alarmist Asteroid 2007 TU24 Video
At the time I’m writing this, asteroid 2007 TU24 has nearly passed the Earth. As we’ve been hammering on here on Universe Today, the Earth is completely safe. Only if you have a telescope and know exactly where to look, will you stand a chance of spotting the flyby.
Even though he posted a video last week, debunking the collision claims, Bad Astronomer and (former) friend Phil Plait seems to have recanted.
Lowest form of life? Ouch.
Thanks to IronmanAustralia for the laugh. I’m still wiping the tears out of my eyes.
On another note, this is the first time I’ve tried embedding a YouTube video in Universe Today. I’m sure I’ve messed it up somehow. Let me know if you like this, and want more.
