They should aim the lhc's particle beam on it to blow it to pieces.CharmQuark wrote:Thought i would post some different should be a great chance to use my scope

Btw this makes me wonder, can a particle accelerator such as the lhc also be called a coilgun?
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room.

Re: Huge asteroid to buzz Earth in November
An enormous black asteroid zoomed past the Earth Tuesday. The asteroid was said to be "the size of an aircraft carrier." The thing passed within the moon's orbit. It posed no threat to our world. It did, however, afford experts a unique close-up glimpse at one of these celestial bodies. It was the largest thing to pass that near to our world since the nation's bicentennial in 1976. Battleship-sized asteroid buzzes the Earth closer than the moon. Apart from its size, YU55 is one of the more common types of asteroids. It is carbon-rich and may contain frozen water and useful metals that could be harvested by future space travelers. With the space shuttle program discontinued, NASA’s next plan — targeted for 2025 — is a manned venture to an asteroid.

If you're going to cut and paste stuff from another website at least be decent enough to credit them.
