Wow, the application they just showed on the webcast is really cool! You can "ride along" with objects based on their actual position relative to others in the solar system, including various missions. I had no idea that existed.

For those still wondering, unless I'm misunderstanding something, the meteorite that hit Russia had nothing at all to do with this asteroid and was just a coincidence.

Peace.

Closest approach has apparently just been reached and passed. As predicted, it appears to have passed harmlessly by our planet. Observations will continue, of course.

I've never gotten to see a webcast of an asteroid visible via telescope live as it happened before. Really cool! I love things like this. It's like we're connected to something far beyond our world.

Peace.

Seems that it passed that was a close one. But with the passing of this and the meteor are signs of things to come.

Either a coincidence or America testing a weapon, noticed it hit Russia.

Any particular reason the US would "attack" a rather remote part of Russia?

I think Agent_USA_Supporter is just referencing what an earlier news story reported.

Apparently Russian lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky is claiming it was a U.S. weapons test and not a meteorite at all.

I think it's bogus, but that's where the whole theory came up.
