Bus-Size Asteroid Gives Earth Super-Close Shave Today, Second in 2 Days!!

For the second day in a row, a space rock is going to zip close by Earth within the orbit of the moon, and you can watch the encounter live online.

The 33-foot-wide (10 meters) near-Earth asteroid 2014 EC will come within 34,550 miles (55,600 kilometers) of Earth's surface this evening (March 6) — just 14 percent of the distance between our planet and the moon, which is about 239,000 miles (385,000 km) on average.

The online Virtual Telescope Project will attempt webcast today's asteroid flyby liv. You can watch live webcast of asteroid 2014 EC live on Space.com beginning at 2:30 p.m. EST (1930 GMT), courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project. Or you can go directly to the project's website: http://www.virtualtelescope.eu/webtv/


2014 EC, which was discovered just Tuesday (March 4), is about half as wide as the asteroid that exploded over Russia in February 2013, injuring about 1,500 people. There is no danger that 2014 EC will hit Earth on this pass, researchers stress; the chances that it will ever strike the planet are currently estimated at 1 in 2.7 million.

 "The asteroid will reach an apparent magnitude of about 13.6 near closest approach," said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object program office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

The flyby of 2014 EC follows closely on the heels of another space rock encounter. On Wednesday (March 6), the 100-foot-wide (30 m) asteroid 2014 DX110 zoomed by the Earth, passing inside the orbit of the moon at a range of 217,000 miles (350,000 km).

MY THOUGHTS

This is the second asteroid in two days in a row!  It seems apparent to me that when someone is trying to get your attention that they fire a couple of shots just over your head.

The Lord Our God is doing just that.  He is trying to get you to look up and these are signs and wonders in the heavens.

LOOK UP!  GOD WANTS YOUR ATTENTION!

Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
