Current Event Asteroid Attacks

The End of the world In 2012? Probably not but the chances for and asteroid to hit our planet are massive for next year. NASA discovered an asteroid and judging on its size and orbit scientists predict that the asteroid has already missed the earth by 7 times the distance of the moon. Even though this is true, astronauts predict that the next time it flies by on the 15 febuary in 2013, it will fly closer than 24,000 km to the Earth, this is less than most satellites. Scientists state that "This is a safe distance, but it is still close enough to make the asteroid visible in normal binoculars."
 
Reflecting:
In my opinion this is a huge discovery, because this kind of information can save lives, even though it might be too late to warn everybody but some actually might survive. The interesting thing is how lucky our race really is, that asteroid could have crashed on Earth! Even before this imagine if we were their instead of the dinosaures, we could have gone instinct. This kind of information really makes you think about how lucky you really are to be alive, and also makes me want to really live life to its fullest extent.
