    Looking forward to seeing it on its flight path. Hope we do not have cloudy skies at that time.

    Well, there went the asteroid that "was" supposed to come within 400 meters of the earth's surface........Anyone remember the "Raelians" and their "leader" Marshall Applewhite? They all committed suicide in the belief that there was supposed to be some kind of comet that would pick them up and whisk them away to a new dimension and new situation?
    *If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-

    *Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."

    *Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

    CD I hesitate to correct you but you are perhaps having a senior moment?

    It was 400 metres in dia and passed the Earth @ approx 320000k's

    @teddy it was never going to be visible to the naked eye, 400m @ 320000k
