No danger: U.S astronomer Phil Plait has said we have nothing to fear from 2012 DA14... for now A 150-foot asteroid orbiting Earth called 2012 DA14 will pass so close to Earth it will fly UNDER man-made satellites orbiting our planet. Nasa’s Impact Risk report said that the odds of the space rock actually hitting our planet are very low indeed – but on February 15 next year it will pass... 

A grim report issued by General Director Vladimir Popovkin of the Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) on the “huge meteorite fireball” seen across nearly the entire length of Britain [photo 2nd left] this weekend past warns that this event is but a precursor to an expected hit upon Earth this coming December by a rogue asteroid currently barreling its way towards us. The rogue asteroid noted... 

One giant leap: This artistic impression shows what a mission to the asteroid may look like after NASA announced it hopes to land on one by 2025. The moon has had its day and Mars is just, well, too far away. Nasa plans to put a man on an asteroid by 2025 in a real-life version of the film Armageddon. Astronauts will embark on a six-month mission to land on a lump of rock around the size of a building... 

If you caught Starfire Tor on CoastToCoastAM last week you may have heard her mention that ‘they’, the PowersThatBe know that an incoming near earth object is going hit earth sometime in the next 2 years. There is evidence to suggest the object is going to strike one of the poles… most likely the south pole. Special Scientific teams have been down in Antarctica mapping the ice shelf for probable... 

Not actually an asteroid, according to NASA, but artificial. NASA authorities report that an unknown object approaching the Earth from deep space is almost certainly artificial in origin rather than being an asteroid. Object 2010 KQ was detected by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona earlier this month, and subsequently tracked by NASA’s asteroid-watching service, the Near-Earth Object Program... 

Computer Animated Asteroid Russia’s space agency chief said Wednesday a spacecraft may be dispatched to knock a large asteroid off course and reduce the chances of earth impact, even though U.S. scientists say such a scenario is unlikely. Anatoly Perminov told Golos Rossii radio the space agency would hold a meeting soon to assess a mission to Apophis. He said his agency might eventually invite...
