Space rock YU55 will hurtle past our planet at a distance of just 201,700 miles on November 8

[/list]

A massive asteroid will fly within the moon's orbit narrowly missing Earth later this year.

The space rock, called YU55, will hurtle past our planet at a distance of just 201,700 miles during its closest approach on November 8.

That is closer to Earth than the moon, which orbits 238,857miles away on average.

With a width of some 400metres and weighing 55million tons, YU55 will be the largest object to ever approach Earth so close.

[ktd619]

[Scott0_robot0]

this is probably a piece of the bigger one right behind it.

 

[kstanz]

hahaha i can't help but read that as YUSS, therefor its hard to take seriously, but it better make for a good show

 

[Whaley]

lolz. but it still freaks me out

[hoodratz47]

 

[General_Ripper]

So what if it hits the moon?

 

[.Max.]

I liked that.

 

[BootySpunk.]

Hopefully it will be kinda visible that would be unreal.

 

[crab_pretzel]

.

 

[pelle_munch]

I hope its neon green

 

[theabortionator]

Word

 

[the_moderaper]

I hope it explodes, leaving my sky looking like an acid trip.

 

[geteducated]

 

[dbchili]

that is my birthday woot

 

[General_Ripper]

Sweet its going to miss everything nice.

 

[PacificRimJob]

I wish it would smack the moon and move it in closer... that way we have WAY gnarlier waves to surf.

 

[Blake.P]

I really want to see that. It's gonna be massive if it is closer than the moon

 

[Malcolm]

Holy shit imagine they're wrong and it smashes into the moon

 

[-emile-]

gosh i hate these thing

 

[JaayLaay]

I hope it is carrying aliens and they hop off and chill with us.

 

[CAPITA-DEVOURS]

calendar marked. fuck yea. i want some aliens to jump off though.

 

[.Hugo.]

hopefully it doesn't pass by when we are facing the opposite direction. I really wanna see it

 

[Parks.]

nice! im gonna high five it as it passes by

 

[.AR6rider.]

It's on my birthday!

 

[-Mugatu]

If Anonymous is going to kill facebook Nov. 5th I hope it hits earth. MAH WURLD WILL AUHLREADHA BEE OVAA!

 

[MACAQUE]

How big will it actually look though? It's 400 meters wide and 200,000 miles away. Even with the trail it'll have I think it'll just look like a shooting star or something. Thoughts?

 

[Balto]

well, shooting stars are meteors that are burning up in the atmosphere, making them visible. This probably won't be able to be seen at all from earth

 

[[evan]]

Yeah let's not make this a big deal, even if it hit Earth there would be no substantial effects other than a bunch of Christians falsy preaching the beginning of the end.

 

[feihlination]

thats my birthday, fuck yea

 

[klayer_9]

thats what i was thinking. that would be weird.

 

[feihlination]

fuck yea, congrats already, sick date

 

[belden...]

Awwe

 

[PJS.]

you guys should do it under the asteroid.

 

[Deluge]

i was thinking the SAME FUCKING THING

 

[Lemuel]

ARE-MEGA-DON

 

[Chief.Queef]

wow! like really? i mean thats like crazy dude. its not a 1 in 365.25 chance or anything....

 

[Brock.]

400m is nothing. We probably wont even see it.

 

[Goku]

wow my threads for doomsday hype

 

[Chubz.]

But that's still pretty big, wouldn't we see it from the sun's reflection?
