Well, It Looks Like We Are Still Here...
The media has been going on about an asteroid as large as an Olympic swimming pool that was to pass by the Earth at a
distance of just 27,700km (17,200miles) - the closest ever predicted for an object
of that size.
You know what? I forgot all about it and though fascinating in another way I don't really care as our time on this planet is so fleeting and sooner or later without any of us this planet will not exist.
People were still watching tv, listening to the radio, going to the pub, the theatre, shopping, giving birth and dying etc...
I was getting ready to do a small shop and more concerned about getting some food reduced in the Supermarket. And happy to find some bread and buns worth £3.50 for 17p and some vegetables worth £4 for 60p.
Here's a link about it...no doubt there are others...
Asteroid comes close
What was purpose a bit weird and a coincidence(though they say the Earth is often hit by such subjects continuously)
Russia was struck by a Meteor and did injure(they say)1,000 peopleand some damage was caused to property earlier in the day so this one sneaked through the Earth's atmosphere...
Meteor Strikes
Another Video of the Meteor
Kind of puts man's place in the universe into perspective whether one has a religious faith or not.
And this story has also broken today...It's all about Space it seems...The Planet Mercury a story on the radio suggests that the planet nearest the Sun may not have always been there but once it reached that point, it kind of stayed there.

I had to laugh...a newspaper said "If" conditions had been different such as the time the meteor came through the atmosphere and hit Russia it could have hit the UK...
Of course it could as it could have hit other parts of the Earth just as other less unexciting things happen daily in our lives...stating the obvious I'd say.
