Does this have anything to do with the meteor that passed by UK last night?

Hmmm that would actually be quite a sight I have no admit. However if we all didn't die. Smile

This is the same one from 2002. I don't believe it.

It will probably break down when it starts entering the atmosphere anyways.

They burn up, but that makes it more brittle, they don't just disintegrate, that is what happens when they hit. But the impact does it's justice in damage before that makes a difference to change anything anyways.

Going back to the original meteor. I've done some more research and it's been downgraded to 0 on the Torino scale by NASA. It did reach level 4 (Threatening Collision) It was then downgraded to level 1 (Normal). - Due do orbital and gravitational uncertainties for a possible impact in 2036.

It is now at Level 0 (No Hazard) and will pass by the earth closely on April 13th 2029.

See NASA website for scale information:

I do not believe in this. Mankind has often spoken of tragedy and disaster and all of this rarely comes true. How many "end of the worlds" has there been? Infact, it's quite possible that we may all die by the end of the year (/sarcasm). Sorry if i sound frustrated, just lost my soccer match (offtopic).

So you're going to be like the typical opposition in the cliche' of the boy who cried wolf?

Just because it never happened before based on theories doesn't mean it will always be untrue from now on.
