Look, up in the sky..bird? aeroplane? it's an ASTEROID!

It's old news. But how many of us knew about it? Was it in the news? I don't know since I don't really watch the news on TV (neither TV3 nor RTM, why?...too much 'propaganda').

"The asteroid named 2009 DD45 was about 48,800 miles from Earth. That is just twice the height of some telecommunications satellites and about a fifth of the distance to the Moon.

The space ball measured between 69 feet and 154 feet in diameter.

The Planetary Society said that made it the same size as an asteroid that exploded over Siberia in 1908 and levelled more than 800 square miles of forest." MI


You can visit NASA for the movement of this asteroid. If you can understand the data
la..

What would've happen if the asteroid actually hit earth? Scary...
