SHOCK ASTEROID WARNING: Planet earth faces 100 YEARS of killer strikes starting in 2017

A previously unknown asteroid belt has been located in deep space and is now hurtling towards our part of the solar system.

It means a 'global killer' could collide with Earth as soon as 2020, wiping out life as we know it and changing the climate for millennia.

The terrifying predictions came as NASA revealed disturbing new data showing 400 impacts are expected between 2017 and 2113, based on new observational data of objects seen in space over the past 60 days.

Most will have a maximum diameter of around 100 metres - the size of seven double decker buses - and the potential to cause significant damage.

But concerned scientists warned a colossal "monster" is also heading our way, with one 'mega' asteroid threatening earth in just SIX years.

It follows claims this week by physicist Professor Brian Cox that a bus-sized asteroid, named 2014 EC, came within 61,637 kilometres (38,300 miles) of Earth in March.

He said there is an "asteroid with our name on it" and it is only a matter of time before an asteroid large enough to wipe out the human race collides with Earth.

Many believe an asteroid was responsible for killing the dinosaurs with a similar life-changing event potentially just around the corner.

Professor Bill Napier, an astronomy expert at the University of Buckingham, said a strike by either an asteroid or debris from a comet could have devastating consequences.

He said: "If something like this happened, depending on where it hit it would be absolutely life-altering.

"The atmospheric chemistry would be upset by cutting out sunlight. It would be like a nuclear winter and could last for tens of thousands of years.

"These comets are 200-300km (186 miles) in diameter they are sheer monsters and could sterilise the earth if we are hit by one.

"The more immediate risk comes from sub-kilometre (smaller) asteroids and there are tens of thousands of these in space which are quite capable of causing damage on a regional scale.

"One hit Siberia in 1908 and luckily it was not in a populated area. Had this happened in London it would have wiped out everything within the M25 and you would have heard the collision in another country."

And experts warned of the possibility of something much bigger striking earth in 2020.

Asteroid 2012 DA14, discovered by astronomers at the LaSagra Observatory in Spain, currently has less than a one per cent chance of hitting but scientists can't rule out the possibility that it might smash into our planet.

Paul Chodas, a planetary astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said: "The orbit for 2012 DA14 is currently very Earth-like, which means it will be very close to Earth on a regular basis."

They're a determined lot, these climate changers.

If it's "targeting" earth maybe it wants to rid the planet of idiot Greens?

Sounds like a plan eh?

An asteroid winter may decrease life, yet afterwards Greens' vision of a sustainable world will be reached even.

One way or the other ... Greens Win.

Greens you should try Rectogesic or Rectinol for any attack of Asteriods.  ;)

The Military love the idea of Asteroids & Meteors.
It means they can put a BIG GUN on the Moon or build more NUKES to 'protect' us.
Pollution on the other hand, seems to be for the MEDICAL industry to deal with and as yet, the only 'Doctor' on the 'Global' scene at the moment is fraternising with young hoochies inside a Tardis.  ::) upon a movie set or making plastic boobies in the USA  ::)  Really 'brave' stuff.

SHOEMAKER-LEVY 9 would have absolutely have pulverised this planet and all life on it.

I have no doubt things are 'stirred up' a bit, since our Solar System (which is tipped on the galactic plane, like Uranus is for our Solar plane) has just crossed the 'Galactic Plane' and is now going AGAINST the gravitational pull...
...swimming 'upstream' now.

When scuba diving and the tide changes: there is about an hour of 'calm' between change and then all the muck lifts as the water starts rushing hard. :o

“I think we need to find better words than ‘killer’ and ‘global killer' because, to me, this implies a very one-sided view of the world,” Senator Whish-Wilson told the upper house in response to the asteroid news.

“Often our planet could be seen by asteroids as being killers. We use that word because it is a very simple word to use and it demonises other objects in space.”

Christine Milne immediately endorsed the Senator's views and questioned the Abbott government's policies causing the Earth to be placed in the path of the vast majority of peaceful space junk.

I can just see these "catastrophic asteroids" up in space

"Hey let's target earth"

"Yeah good idea"

Was the asteroid attracted by global warming??

Our global Magnetic field more like it

Nukes and bombs would have very little effect on giant astroids.  The best chance we have is to send a satellite into space, land on the astroid, and then slightly deviate its course before it reaches the point of no return. 

We are overdue for a large scale astroid hit on Earth.  So it would not surprise me, that we are looking at increased risk. 

But, I would not worry too much.  If it is meant to be that everyone on Earth dies at the same time, then so be it.  At least, I will get to witness the end, something that does not happen very often.  I do think human may survive, if the select few takes precautions, and live underground for at least 10 to 15 years - 2 yrs min for the dust to settle, and another 8 years for regeneration of plant life.    But 99.999 of the global human population would die.

Or we could send up a couple of ships, and land a crew of drillers on it. Then drill a hole into the centre and drop a nuke down into it, and blow it in half...

Wow, that'd be a good plot for a movie..

Armageddon (from Ancient Greek: Ἁρμαγεδών Harmagedōn,[1][2] Late Latin: Armagedōn[3]) will be, according to the Book of Revelation, the site of gathering of armies for a battle during the end times, variously interpreted as either a literal or symbolic location. The term is also used in a generic sense to refer to any end of the world scenario.


Yeah pull the other leg god bothers ... it plays jingle bells.

I hope this asteroid hits Greens headquarters while they are all together having a meeting about asylum seekers and Sarah Two Names is up on stage.

Meteorite strike blasts crater in Nicaraguan capital Managua


Nicaraguan government officials say a mysterious explosion that rocked the nation's capital appears to have been caused by a meteorite.

The impact near Managua's international airport left a crater measuring 12 metres across and was so large it registered on seismic instruments used to measure earthquakes.

"We are convinced that this was a meteorite. We have seen the crater from the impact," said Wilfredo Strauss of the Seismic Institute.

"You can see two waves: first, a small seismic wave when the meteorite hit Earth, and then another stronger one, which is the impact of the sound."

Government officials and experts visited the impact site on Sunday (local time), but said it was not yet clear if the meteorite had burned up completely or if it had been blasted deep into the soil.

it wouldn't be green-wanker if it wasn't masturbating about some imaginary threat.

Asteroids are now imaginary to old longweakend.

Yep it was 1000 on my list of 1000 trivial things to worry about   :D

Listen, I've had this argument a few times in my life so once more won't hurt...

Yes, the Catastrophic Astroids were a great band in the 70s but that was 40 years ago. We were all bored into comas after their 90s reunion tour and I, for one, was all for the CIA having them secretly shot into space... In fact, we were all grateful..

So now they think they can target earth (for another reunion tour, I'd bet) ?

Well, we have weapons against them... and I will name names...

Two words... The Eagles...

No not WA's pride... The band, The Eagles...

The CIA could shoot them into space where they and the Catastrophic Astroids can have a bore off... Where the density of the boredom created between them will create a mini black hole into which both bands will fall after being sucked into the non-event horizon created by the collective yawn of the galaxy.
