Scientists are keeping a close eye on a big asteroid that is expected to impact (and destroy) the Moon in September.
The space rock, which is called 2012 GD5, is about 790 feet wide. It is on a collision course with the Moon and will hit on the last day of September, 2012, unless NASA is able to deflect it away.
Talk about the asteroid was on the agenda during the 50th 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-Moon objects (NMOs) noted the asteroid’s repeat approaches to the Moon and the how it will directly hit the moon in two months.
The object was discovered in January 2012 by Mount Margo 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.
“2012 GD5 is the object which currently has the highest chance of obliterating the moon. However, we have only observed it for about half an orbit, thus the confidence in the exact day are not one hundred percent, but they are close,” said Detter Klonpon of the European Space Agency’s Solar System Missions Division in Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
“In our Action Team 17 discussions, we concluded that this is a massive threat,” Klonpon told WWN.
“We are currently also in the process of making the world aware of this impending destruction of the Moon,” Klonpon said. “Without the Moon, the earth will be affected in devastating ways. The tides will rise and the earth will spin out of its rotation.”
NASA is working overtime to figure out a way to deflect this asteroid, but it may be too late.

goodbye moon!
Not going to happen

If you live in a paradise read a comic, but if you live in the Lord Jesus Christ, read! Rev 19:10. God bless.

Oh well it´s stop people getting drowned by the tides.
its not true
This Ufologist Scientist
yes i am not approve this.. but we need to deep study in this
for details pl contact me http://www.7pulse.blogspot.in/
It's just another attack from the Gootans!! They're well known for lobbing rocks at the Earth. ;-p
As a scientist I can say that it IS going to happen. Mr Ralph here is correct in his statement for it is the Gootans fault. The only person who can save us now is BAT BOY!
Very good !!!!!.
I wish it would happen! I hate nighttime! That means day light 24 hours a day.
…You're an idiot…
Why do you have so many links to the crappiest websites in the world?
is this for real?
AND WHERE IS THE SOURCE OF THE NASA?

My Sister and I have just come across this blog after seeing a massive comet/asteroid in the sky at approx 10.45pm on 21st sep 2012 in Blackburn Lancashire! I'm talking absolutely massive not just a dot miles away! It looked quite close and went past about the size of a double decker was orange and had long tails coming from it..It disappeared over the horizon.Did anyone see this or can explain what it was?? Pretty worried now after reading this! We are not the type of people to go saying we saw weird things in the sky but this was huge not you normal comet! i've seen comets before this was massive about 1000 times the size!!
i saw something floating in the sky…..its was red with some tails and what will happend to us if the moon gets destroyed:(
In fact even my glans is swelling in the last days …. maybe it depends on some obscure magnetic force?
I like turtles.
Another plot by the evil Gootans! ;-p
Reblogged this on biting tea and commented:
#SMOD?
the person who made this could of done a better job on the photo shop lol :p
im nt impresd wf de Nasa tin. Y ddnt dey work it out lng tim ago?

Im so scare if this thing really happens.
2 days left…
The aliens are coming! Please visit omegamark(dot)net
Ch..ch..ch..ab lunatics ka kya hoga (what wii happen to lunatics)
The 30th it's my birthday wow
Why your magazine is the only one who has the news and there is nothing at NASA?

Read about a statue of Buddha that was carved 15,000 years ago from extraterrestrial meteorites was found by the Nazi's. The statue had a swastika carved in the middle of it. Fascinating story! http://www.educatinghumanity.com/2012/09/Iron-Man…
We're all doomed! There's a myriad of things that any single one could kill us all. There's a high probability at least one will over the years. Will it be a zombie virus? Martial law and killing us in nazi concentration camps? Nibiru? Solar Flare? Nuclear? Mass depopulation by the killer psychopaths in control? Asteroids/comets? Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes? angry aliens? EMP Weapon? Scalar Weapon (HAARP)? GMOs in food? Fluoride in the water? Gov Med Experiments? Smart Meters? Mind Conrol? Pharmaceutical Drugs?
We're just F***ed!

Please save the moon !!!
Such a tiny thing compared to our moon… the asteroid is only 790 feet across or something… our moon is way bigger. I think it's gonna be okay, guys. It gets hit by space rocks all the time.

Nothing happen yet. LoL
Lol
I can indeed see a shiny ball of fire in the night sky though! but could be a far away planet… hmmm
lol ! nothin happen yet!!!
nothing happens yet but we must pray to God when there really happens it would be end of us but we could cope things up right now for it doesnt happen yet i wish it is not
This is stupid. I looked at more articles from this site and its like the Internet version of the national inquirer magizine. A bunch of made up unproven un-backed facts. Instead of getting paranoid and freaking out just laugh at it. And you should be praying all the time not just when u think your life is in jeopardy.
ya ur right
WWN only reports the TRUTH!!
Well its the 30th today an nothing's happened yet
Hope this thing is wrong
if the moon is destroyed then yes all hope for mankind is lost however pay attention the asteroid is measured in feet so it's safe to assume that most people who read this would be confused about size sure an asteroid can wipe us out however the moon is way larger than 2.19 Hm or 219 m in fact the moon is 3471.94 Km so the impact would have to be the equivalent of a bb pellet hitting an apple at 100 Km per hour and obliterating the apple instead of going into the apple. sorry about my grammar
Just trust God, only he knows if the world will end today! No one else knows, the asteroid may hit the moon, and affect a certain area of the earth, but we are with Jesus, and the ones with Jesus will be safe forever. Keep calm and pray, think positive. Jesus is with us.
You are all skeptics.. Just enjoy life. I could have come up with a better article than this and your all still believing it? LOOK AT THE OTHER ARTICLES ON THIS SITE. The Capitol is supposedly painted like Homer Simpsons head… It's obviously all not true.
You're a idiot
Nothing on this site is "for real"
Where's the moon?! No joke I can't find it!
THIS JUST IN! In late breaking news, NASA reported that they were able to change the trajectory of the asteroid that was on a collision course with the Moon avoiding a catastrophic change to Earth's tide cycles and millions of peoples horoscopes. However, NASA officials concluded that some satellite communications may be affected due to software updates on Google Earth that had removed the Moon from the Earths orbit in anticipation of the event. A US Department of Defense spokesperson recommends that everyone go to work tomorrow, unless you're unemployed, in that case you may wish to remove yourself from the Earth as you are a drain on the taxpayers and the US economy.
Yeah you're a genius -.-
Ridiculous! Yet, didn't hear any explosions!!!
hope this is wrong i saw the moon but its fine maybe this is wrong info.
The aliens are coming! Please visit omegamark (dot) net
Today is Oct 2,2012 and the moon is still there.
The most powerful brightest comet is on the way comet 2012 S1. It will be something like we have never seen before!!
For details on this amazing event! http://www.educatinghumanity.com/2012/10/Brightes…
Hahahaahahah! a 790 feet asteroid will destroy the moon! Dont make me laugh! the biggest "ocean" in the moon is hit by a hundred or more km wide rook! In order to destroy the moon you need a far bigger rock to hit it!
Akward…
(i cant spell)
Moon still in place wtf? :p
Myth busted 🙂 moon is needed… What would romantic guys would do without a moon to look at and make love… No way.
