Description:

Asteroid 2005YU55 approaches and is the subject of research, not the script of Hollywood. Space rock the size of an aircraft carrier stays between Earth and the Moon's orbit.

Fear Itself (special asteroid edition)

An article in Foreign Policy detailing what potential threats keep our leaders up at night launched quite the discussion about your own fears and anxieties.

Your responses were inspired (more on that in a sec.)

I neglected to share my own personal nightmare, which is that an aircraft-carrier-sized asteroid will smash into the earth like Gallagher’s hammer into a watermelon.

A 1,300-foot-wide space bullet called 2005 YU55 is making a pass by the Earth today so close it’s actually inside the moon’s orbit. Too close! Too close! Says the L.A. Times:

“If an asteroid the size of 2005 YU55 did slam into Earth, the impact would be powerful enough to wipe out a major city like Los Angeles or Chicago with a direct hit, leveling everything within a 60-mile radius. If it splashed into the sea, it could create a 200-foot-high wave 60 miles away, said geophysicist Jay Melosh of Purdue University in Indiana, an expert on impact cratering.”
