I watched the on-line show. There was so much snow and Ice at the observatory in the canary islands they could not open the dome. Had to rely on Dubai telescope to get pics. It was interesting. I'm just clad it was about 2M miles out, not 17k like the last one. or 0k like the one in Russia.

We should develop something to deflect an asteroid, just in case.

  I thought that was already done, and partially demonstrated on 9/11/01.

I blame the liberals.

If they hadn't had their Kennedy orgasm in 1969 and rolled over and fell asleep, we might well have been able to capture this rock into orbit today, and begin mining it, soon.

For your entertainment, from 1994, "The Gate to the Mind's Eye", featuring astrophysicist Fiorella Terenzi. (Warning; may bring feelings of calm and restfulness.)
