Panic?
I’m crossing my fingers for the wellbeing of the universe. We’re awful.
Worry not, for we are insignificant to the universe.
Right now.
That’s 0.9% more than the last time I checked. I know those are still really low odds, but we can hope…
don’t worry, it’ll just be like a small nuke, not a planet killer… (until they update the size estimates)
I wonder if the “important” people know the chances are higher, so they’re going for broke in order to build their escape ship.
If we are able to nudge an asteroid, would an asteroid of this size nudge the earth?
Technically the solar system is a multi-body system, and everything nudges everything else, but the mass of the earth is far greater than the mass of the asteroid, to the point that it doesn’t matter.
Sigh. Why can’t it be 109%
This place sucks.
Is there any way to speed this up
Better late than never I guess.
I’m not even joking. I want this asteroid to hit our planet and make us all go the way of the dinos.
Yes, please!
I’ll only panic if it misses
Okay so how big is this meteor then
It’s around 1000 millimeteors
Exactly one meteor wide. Do you need the height as well?
Is it meteoric?
The meteorest.
Listed in the article:
Scientists estimate that 2024 YR4 is between 130 to 300 feet (40 and 90 meters) wide
Fuck, I was hoping for a 10-15 km wide one.
How many giraffes is it tho
130 - 400 meters
Panic?!
You mean throw a welcome party?
Can we launch a satellite at it, perhaps detonate a huge nuke on it to make that chance higher?
Wait, we could just detonate all those huge nukes here right now. Show that stupid asteroid.
Nuke the far side of the moon and plunge it into earth. Give the asteroid inadequacy issues.
Wouldn’t detonating on the forward side rather than the zenith side be most effective at lowering the perigee of the moon?
You think humanity would be in this spot if the average person had a fucking clue whatsoever?

Project Sundial can still make a comeback.
