Orbital path of asteroid near miss in 2002. Yah, that’s how close we came to nuclear winter and possible total destruction.

A visitor.

It’s like it’s trying so hard to hit us and it just can’t do it

All I can imagine is every astronomer drinking heavily from 2002-2003 like “There it goes—OH FUCK IT’S COMING BACK”

ohgodohgodohgod

thank you  moon for being Our last defender against space chaos. When Jupiter fails, The moon will aid us.

Am I the only one who thought the asteroid should’ve sounded like a really wimpy guy just trying to hit ya?
“Mmmm-ha! Darn it………. Here I go, I’m gonna!- dang it……… One more time- aw nuts!”

Apparently J002E3 is space debris that was once the Apollo 12 Saturn V rocket, not an asteroid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J002E3
