They don't know what date it will impact but they know it will hit Earth? I'm no expert, but wouldn't the Earth be a quite few million miles further from where it was on Sep 15 by Sep 28?

Its got an Earth homing device in it....doesn't matter where we are....it'll find us!!!

Are the " Greys " coming to get married.

They may have misunderstood the referendum.

Anyway they are welcome and I will be doing a Great Line in "Grey Marriage licenses " at very reasonable rates.

Obviously I am not taking the end of the World as seriously as……………… you know !

Lean Leahz claims that world governments have been preparing quietly, moving and testing missile arsenals in the hope that it might be possible to fire them at the approaching asteroid and break it up to avoid catastrophe.

See, even my Kerbals know this will not work. My Kerbals!

Fun fact about Armageddon, each half of the asteroid missed earth by about 500 miles and all the NASA denizens were celebrating. In real-life they'd have running around ****less. A 500 mile miss wouldn't destroy earth but it would cause major tidal surges drowning killing a sh1t load of people.

It has chilling hellish mystery sounds, which I want to hear.
I'm rooting for the comet.

I love the "......that would wipe out much of the United States......." F*ck the rest of the world. Reminds me of Team America "Cairo. 5472 miles east of USA"

I preferred it when Comet just offered best-price electrical appliances.

I love apocalypses. I've lived through three so far - Nostradamus '99, Y2k, and Mayans 2012. Each time, the impending apocalypse provided an epic excuse to chat up and potentially shift friends the night before, and dispel any subsequent awkwardness with "sure the world's going to end tomorrow anyway"

The mass ennui and disdain of AH focused to a single point is enough to destroy any mere space object.

Earthlings, I greet you from your future. Nothing has changed, it's all still really boring ENJOY

Haha I remember each of them well...I think there was one in 2009 too. Jeez there's so many of them it's hard to keep up. The Nostradamus was classic though - the sky seemed quite red that day, I thought it was a sign.

Can you imagine if this really happened? And Sky News interrupted David Cameron droning on about Europe, and deficits, and benefits... zzzz...to say BREAKING NEWS "NASA has confirmed that 'Earth will be hit by an asteroid and all life is expected to be extinguished'".

That'd be mad stuff.

Imagine it. No ifs or buts...just Earth WILL be hit, and that's all folks.

What would happen? All the World stops fighting and some 'hands across the world' kind of thing? Would we actually start firing nukes into space hoping for the best?

Crazy stuff!

Turtwig

Firing a nuke at a comet is a bit like firing a pellet head on at a speeding train. Sure you'll hit the thing but you won't stop the train.

It's gaining more credence daily:

"THERE IS AN ASTEROID WITH OUR NAME ON IT", SAYS Professor BRIAN COX

‘There is an asteroid with our name on it and it will hit us,’ Professor Brian Cox told MailOnline
While the latest claims of a killer asteroid are unfounded, scientists have long said that these space rocks pose a major threat to Earth.
In September, Brian Cox said we are at risk of being wiped out by asteroids – and we’re not taking the threat seriously.
‘There is an asteroid with our name on it and it will hit us,’ Professor Cox told MailOnline. In fact, the Earth had a ‘near-miss’ only a few months ago.
‘We didn’t see it,’ says the 46-year-old. ‘We saw it on the way out, but if it had just been a bit further over it would have probably wiped us out. These things happen.’
The bus-sized asteroid, named 2014 EC, came within 38,300 (61,637km) miles of Earth in March - around a sixth of the distance between the moon and our planet.
And it wasn’t the only one threatening Earth. Nasa is currently tracking 1,400 'potentially hazardous asteroids' and predicting their future approaches and impact probabilities.
The threat is so serious that former astronaut Ed Lu has described it as ‘cosmic roulette’ and said that only ‘blind luck’ has so far saved humanity from a serious impact.

What ever happened to the ****wits who were so sure of that occurring?

jimgoose

Are they talking about YP139? NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab classifies that one as possibly dangerous but it's reckoned to be about 2,000 feet in diameter as opposed to 2.5 miles. JPL haven't said whether or not it was screaming. Bit tricky to tell, what with the vacuum of space and what-not.

Maybe it time for me to discover the fire bending power i possess. The comet is near, who know maybe the avatar himself will give me a call.
So finger crossed

"THERE IS AN ASTEROID WITH OUR NAME ON IT", SAYS Professor BRIAN COX

Are we far away from having technology that might be able to have a meaningful effect against these asteroids.

Maybe there is a reason why I have always had this feeling that I shouldn't be taking this life thing too seriously.

It's grand, Richard Dunne will head this straight out of the atmosphere.

Misleading title is misleading.

Next September implies September 2016. September 2015 is this September.

I thought we had 12 months more than we really do,:eek::eek::pac:

NASA have been working on a laser system to deal with any asteroids that could cause damage to Earth. So far it hasn't been finished/been operational but they don't predict any asteroid to hit us in the next 300 years (that of course could change, one big asteroid hits another and it could send it on a collision course with us). Also, "blind luck" is actually a really strong phrase to use. The universe is so massive that the chance of a large enough asteroid hitting us and wiping us all out is HUGE!

Why the vague timing. Sometime between the 15th and the 23rd was it? Doesn't really sound like something a real spaceoligist would say:D

Don't mean to be pedantic - but surely the huge size of the universe makes it less likely something will hit us, not more.
