Past near misses and future worries...

Ever wonder how many significantly sized objects are out in space that may come close to impacting the Earth?

Well here's a NASA page that tracks them -> http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/

If you click on the object name, you can also view a graphic animation showing the predicted orbits.

Check out the SIZE of some of them....

Oh yeah, in particular check out THIS one -> http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2002 JB9;orb=1

Watch how close it gets to Earth late in July of this year...

Look at the one that just passed on March 16th. It was less that 1 lunar distance to earth.
