Wait! Don't leave us! We gotta give you ur 40 stars first! Waaaaaait!

The CLOSEST star in the Taurus constellation is 30.72 light years away.

That's about 290627433000000 KM away from Earth.
This asteroid is supposedly travelling at 50000KM/Hour

290627433000000 / 50000 = 5812548660
5812548660 / 24 = 242189527.5
242189527.5 / 365 = 663532.9

It would take about 663533 years to reach us, I wouldn't worry about it really.

The article from Al Jazeera makes no sense.

"Almost scrap the surface of distant star"?

could have been an attempted hoax, or a disinfo ploy made to "rile" up the crazy conspiracy theorists. according to some who read the zeta chats, this could also be the announcement that was supposed to come in early october. either way it piqued my curiosity.

I love how, when presented with the idea that NASA has announced that a Asteroid may well collide with OUR PLANET, all people can seem to talk about is the word "Nibiru" and instantly discredit EVERYTHING based on that word being uttered by them.

Can we call the Asteroid "Professor Poopy Pants"?
Will that make it possible to actually discuss what is being presented?
What is a name we can call this thing so we can all focus on the real issue here?

Maybe these news sites were hacked???

That would explain this.

Bernard Schnitzel has pulled off the mother of all hoaxes.....
