GIANT ASTEROID HEADING FOR EARTH!


A gigantic asteroid is heading for earth and may make a… deep impact!

It’s the biggest threat to Earth in a millenium.

The space rock, which is called 2014 AZ5, is about 960 feet  wide.  It may come hit Earth in early 2013 and there are urgent meetings going on among scientists on how deflect it.

Talk about the asteroid was on the agenda during the 49th session of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space ( COPUOS), held earlier this month in Vienna.

A UN Action Team on near-Earth objects noted the asteroid’s repeat approaches to Earth and the possibility, that 2014 AZ5 might hit us in twelve months.

The object was discovered in January 2011 by Mount Lemmon Survey observers in Tucson, Ariz. While scientists have a good bead on the space rock’s size, its mass and compositional makeup are unknown at present.

“2014 AZ5 is the object which currently has the highest chance of impacting Earth in March of 2013,” said Quami Lochmo of the European Space Agency’s Solar System Missions Division in the Dutch city of Noordwijk.

“We are currently also in the process of making governments around the world aware of the situation,”  Lochmo said. “

The near-Earth asteroid 2014 Az5  has an impact probability of 1 in 125 for March 17, 2013, said Donald Lochmo.

This impact probability isn’t set in stone, however.  It can be changed slightly.

It’s not clear what part of Earth the asteroid will hit first, but some are speculating that California in the United States may get the biggest impact.

    Asteroids are a great fascination of mine. I cannot wait to see this one in 2014. I’ve read that they are made of interesting materials and if this one lands on earth it will give me (and scientists of course) a unique opportunity to touch and feel something that may have traveled the expanses of space beyond our wildest dreams.

    We live in very exciting times!

    goodbye earth

  8. Did the UN measure 2014 AZ5 with a sand filled bra 960 feet wide .

  9. Anil Swain says:

    I think it isa manifiestation of our planet not destruction. Do not scared but pray

  10. Wow2Big says:

    Well about time. California needs a good Asteroid hit.

  11. vudeeeee says:

    OOOH GOD HELP US

  12. Anominos says:

    so not true u hav been sayin dis for years!!!!!!!!!

  13. Unknown says:

    Where will it hit closest to? And I think this is gods way of telling us something.

  14. Amanda says:

    Its in the Bible that California will sink into the ocean in the last days, is this a coincidence? SO many things in the Bible has come true so why do people still keep NOT believing it? An impact like that would make it break away from everything else and sink. If it hits, God help us all.

    Everything around where it hits will be mass destruction. Lets just hope and pray it doesnt.

    • Justme says:

      Just wondering where in the Bible you read the word California?!

    • skippy d says:

      Actually most of the stuff in the bible came from the Sumarian tablets

    • Craig says:

      Actually a majority of stuff in the bible is a load of ****.

    • michael says:

  15. Gary says:

    Myabe the sign of world war 3. Or the third Anti Christ.It is said we live in the time for the 3rd Anti Christ. At any rate. should it come. the earth will have a clean atart all ever again. It's about every 3 million years a rock comes our way.

  16. Have Russia or China or even NASA send something to meet it now, instead of waiting before it's to late!

  17. Josh Gilbert says:

    This shit is crazy don’t know what to think

  18. kenneth chavez says:

    Hey this is great. LIve in Arizona, maybe now have ocean front property..

  19. Jennifer says:

    Never say Never!!!

  20. Dan says:

    Wow…you glue bags are a bunch of crackers…let it hit…What ever! keep living life and quit pondering this nonsense….The only one wo has any sense at all here is cd…I want to smoke the same herb the majority on this site are smoking!

    A body that is over nine hundred feet wide and by the pictures twice that in length would have an ELE effect on the planet. It is not California that would be effected but most of the world. California would be gone and the other natural events that could be triggered like a volcanic eruption in Yellowstone, It is frightening to think of it. I can only pray that an error has been made or that the world's governments will band together to avert this huge rock from hitting us.

  22. Umm says:

    Theirs no Asteroid named 2014 AZ5, Nasa names their asteroids by year of discovery e.g. 2012 FQ62

  23. timetraveler says:

    2014 AZ5 no such asteroid exist! As previous post stated all new asteroids discovered are given the year of their discovery in their name! so unless my calender is wrong we are not yet in 2014

  24. Project E says:

    This would be the Perfect Solution For Ruining Human Life,:

    1: No more Crisis
    2: No more Debts
    3: No More Diseases
    4: New Life
    5: New Beginning Of Everything
    6: No More WAR on Earth (probably on another planet)
    7: No more fuck-ups made by mankind
    8: No More Future Genius Inventions

    It would be salvation..

    I say Hello To The End With open arms.
