What is an asteroid, exactly?
An asteroid is a small, rocky or metallic object orbiting the Sun. They are now usually defined as being larger than 1 meter in diameter with objects smaller than that being called meteoroids. The largest asteroid is Ceres at 965 km (600 mi) diameter. Most asteroids, including Ceres, are located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but some asteroids come near to or cross Earth’s orbit. There are several related terms that come up when talking about things hitting Earth, so here are some related definitions:
What is a comet?
A comet is a small, icy/dusty object orbiting the Sun. Comets formed in the outer solar system where ice is stable. Most of them spend most of their time far beyond the orbit of Neptune, and all spend most of their time beyond Jupiter. But some have orbits that bring them occasionally through the inner solar system including sometimes past Earth’s orbit. When they are in the inner solar system, their ice sublimates (goes from ice to gas), kicking off dust and forming the coma and tails they are famous for.
What is a meteoroid?
A meteoroid is a rocky or metallic object in space that is smaller than an asteroid, the boundary usually being defined as 1 meter diameter. Very tiny meteoroids, smaller than 1 gram or so are often called micrometeoroids or space dust.
What is a meteor?
A meteor is the streak of light that occurs when an object (e.g., asteroid or meteoroid) hits the Earth’s atmosphere at high speed causing the object to heat up and glow.
What is a meteorite?
If part of a meteoroid, asteroid, or comet makes it to the ground, it is called a meteorite.
How do asteroids form? Where do asteroids come from?
Asteroids are typically material left over from the period of planetary formation 4.5 billion years ago, the stuff left over that didn’t form into planets in the inner solar system. Often they are fragments of collisions between asteroids in the past.
How many near-Earth asteroids are there?
Using the cut-off for asteroid diameter of 1 meter, there are estimated to be more than half a billion near-Earth asteroids. For objects that cause major damage if they hit Earth (larger than about 30 meters), there are about a million. So far, we are approaching 20,000 found. It is easier to find larger objects, so we think we have found more than 90% of the asteroids 1 km and above, but for smaller asteroids still capable of causing major regional damage, we have only found a small percentage.
Are there any asteroids heading for Earth?
There are a few asteroids that currently are known to have a low probability of hitting Earth in tens to hundreds of years. For example, one of the highest probabilities currently is an approximately 37 meter diameter asteroid called 2000 SG344 that has a 1 in 1100 chance of impact in 2071. But these always are based on asteroid observations that have uncertainties in them. Usually, as more observations are obtained, the impact probability will drop to 0; in other words we know it won’t hit. JPL keeps an online list of all asteroids with any probability of hitting Earth. The big uncertainty is that we haven’t discovered most of near Earth asteroids yet, so we don’t know if they are on a collision course with Earth, which is why finding and tracking them is crucial.
Why do asteroids hit Earth?
Space is really empty and big, but there is also a lot of stuff out there, and Earth is a big target with big gravity, so things run into Earth or Earth runs into them.
Marshall Masters is convinced we’re already seeing the effects of Nibiru’s passage, with increased meteors and superbolides coming close to Earth, such as the damaging 2013 incident in Chelyabinsk, Russia, when an object hit the atmosphere. He believes there is a high probability for another such incident. What do you believe about Planet X?

NASA asteroid WARNING: Giant 269 foot asteroid on ‘Earth Close Approach’
A GIANT asteroid standing taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa will dash past the Earth, NASA’s asteroid trackers have revealed.
The imposing asteroid, dubbed by NASA Asteroid 2021 AR2, will make a so-called “Earth Close Approach”. Asteroid orbit calculations predict the space rock will reach its closest distance to Earth in just a few hours. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) expects Asteroid AR2 will swing by around 2.28pm on , February 13. The unexpected flyby comes just 10 days after the barreling space rock was first detected by NASA’s radars on March 3.
There are three other little-known asteroids on NASA’s radar which could potentially come closer than 2015 EG – 2012 KT12, 2016 NO56 and 2019 GE1 – but they’re more likely to zip by about 1 or 2 million kilometres away.
While that sounds far, considering the Earth is 150 million kilometres from the sun, it’s close by galactic standards.
The uncertainty stems from the fact tiny asteroids flying through distant space are hard to track, and astronomers often have little data to work with.
Already this year there have been two close calls with previously unknown asteroids – 2021 AS5 and 2021 AE9 – the former missing by just 15,000km, about the same distance from Christchurch to Boston.
And during today’s flyby, the asteroid is estimated to dash past the Earth at breakneck speeds of more than 10,780mph (4.82km per second).
Thankfully NASA does not expect the space rock to slam into the Earth anytime soon.
Tens of thousands of asteroids hit the Earth every year, but the vast majority are small and harmlessly burn up in the atmosphere.
NASA measures an asteroid’s risk to civilisation on the Torino scale – zero means no risk at all, while 10 equals “global climatic catastrophe that may threaten the future of civilization as we know it”. It’s a combination of an asteroid’s size, speed, composition and its likelihood of hitting the planet.
Presently, there are no objects rated above a zero. The highest rating ever given was to a 350m-wide asteroid named Apophis, which was downgraded to zero in 2006 when astronomers calculated a possible 2029 impact wasn’t going to happen.
But the asteroid is large enough and will swing by close enough for NASA to pay close attention to its journey around the solar system.
The world is supposed to end tomorrow.
That’s according to some people who say the Mayans predicted some things that other people say they didn’t predict.
Scientists Now Willing to Alert the Public – How it Will Affect This Planet. Some have confirmed what ancient civilizations warned about thousands of years ago, as it is translated, “planet of the crossing,” may be a heavy mass object (HMO) in addition to a dark star that is part of our own solar system.
The Nibiru cataclysm is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) which certain groups believe will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Planet X.
Predictions for the so-called “end of the world“ appear on a regular basis, almost every year, and the new year 2019 is no exception at this point. According to recent reports, the world will cease to exist in 2019, when planet Nibiru rams into Earth. The sensational announcement was made by well-known scientist David Meade, who described his theory in the work titled “Planet X: The 2021 Arrival”.
The Earth has recently experienced a number of major catastrophes and earthquakes that have created multiple cracks and cavities in the earth’s crust. According to David Meade, the date of the end of the world is no news for the scientific world at all, but it is not allowed to expose the information to the public to prevent panic.
The collision with another planet will destroy Earth completely. However, there are many of those, who build bunkers in a hope to survive the global catastrophe, the scientist said.
NASA representatives believe that statements about the impending end of the world are nothing but myths. Planet Nibiru is nothing but an Internet hoax. Astronomers say with certainty that there are no factual grounds for the gloomy predictions. If either Nibiru or Planet X were real and if they were heading towards the Earth, one could already see it with the naked eye.
Scientists and pseudoscientists make apocalyptic predictions almost every year. Yet, the world continues to exist. Interestingly, the first mentioning about the end of the world dates back to 2800 BC. An Assyrian tablet found in Mesopotamia had the following inscription on it: “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”
The first Christian end of the world was scheduled to take place on the day of the death of apostle John, who wrote the book “Revelation,” in which he vividly described the process of the destruction of mankind without specifying the date. It was assumed that the end of the world was supposed to take place in the year 100 AD.
A prophecy from Montana, one of the early Christians, said that the world would cease to exist in year 156. Many Christians were expecting the world to end during the whole year 666. Later, Bishop Gregory of Tours calculated that the end of the world will occur between 799 and 806. In 922 year, Hippolytus of Rome predicted that the Apocalypse will take place when Easter coincides with the Annunciation. In 992, the Annunciation fell on Good Friday, but no end of the world happened.
Panic and horror gripped all of Europe in the year 1000 after the birth of Christ. Most people were praying and awaiting the Second Coming of Christ and the Last Judgment.
Further “doomsday” predictions would then be made once in 100 years. Since 1999, however, predictions about the end of the world started to appear almost every year. The most “exact” date for the global disaster was believed to be the Mayan calendar date – December 21, 2012. The new date has now been set for October 2020. “
Of course, the Nibiru he’s referring to is none other than the infamous ‘Planet X,’ a mysterious body rumored to be whizzing through our solar system with an oblong orbit that coincidentally keeps it hidden from our view.
THE PLANET X NIBIRU SYSTEM BEST EVIDENCE TO DATE 2021! ~ THE MAGNETIC POLES ARE SHIFTING!
Billionaires are prepping for the apocalypse. Do they know something?
What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘prepper’? Tin-foil hats? Woodsmen with cases full of dried macaroni? Well, there’s a new breed of survivalist in town – the Silicon Valley tech billionaire.
That’s right. Super-rich survivalists are getting ready for the breakdown of society.
Some are buying multimillion-dollar luxury bunkers (complete with pools, gyms and private cinemas) that are capable of surviving a nuclear attack. Bill Gates is rumoured to have bunkers beneath his properties in Washington State and California.
WORLD leaders are preparing for the end of the world by building top secret bunkers for a political elite, says a survival expert – but they will not save any of us.
Robert Vicino, head of the survival firm Vivos, has claimed governments including the US and the UK are making top secret plans to save their skins, which don’t include us.
The disaster world governments are preparing for the arrival of Planet X – also known as Nibiru – which is due to arrive in 2021, according to Vicino.
Let’s start with the facts, and see where they take us. To begin with, I’d like to call your attention to the first video below, but I ask that you notice it’s a bit outdated. For our purposes that doesn’t matter. In fact, having outdated numbers might help some of us sleep better. Anyway, In addition to roughly $10 TRILLION dollars in debt that has been racked up under Barack Obama without a damn thing to show for it, is the other $10 TRILLION that has simply vanished into thin air.
The end of the world could be nigh but there’s room for 10,000 of the world’s elite under Denver
He said they are using huge drills to dig huge underground bases below the Rocky Mountains, connected by high speed trains, for a select few.
The complex is linked to Washington by high speed train, he claims.
He also believes that the reason for their plans is not World War 3 but a natural disaster.
He reveals that the magnetic field it creates could cause a devastating shower of debris to rain down on the world.
Vicino added: “”I believe they know something is coming which is epic and they have known about for decades when Nibiru was discovered by the IRAS telescope.
“It was announced then it was suppressed, no government agency was allowed to ever discuss it again.”
He cites a recent emergency drill in Russia as proof the end may be nigh.
Earth will be caught in the magnetic field of the planet and showers of debris from the object will rain devastation upon the world’s population.

Vicino said: “They know something is coming, and I do not think they built those shelters deep underground for World War 3 – because you do not have to go that deep.
“I believe they know something is coming which is epic and they have known about for decades when Nibiru was discovered by the IRAS telescope.
“It was announced then it was suppressed, no government agency was allowed to ever discuss it again.”
Vicino claims the US government have been working on fully kitted out survival shelters since 1983.
The biggest of these is located in Colorado, beneath the city of Denver, and has room for just 10,000 people – with spaces earmarked for government officials and powerful individuals, he said.
“You have to ask yourself, why did Russia just have a drill for 40 million people?”
“What are the other six billion, ninety-nine-whatever-it-is people going to do?” he said. “I’ll tell you what they’re going to do. They’re going to wait until the last minute and say ‘Well, is this really for real? Is this really going to happen?’ And when they see it is when there’s widespread public notice from the government or somebody, or you look up in the sky and see it’s going to happen… Or a series of nukes has gone off or there’s a viral pandemic that’s spreading quickly. So when people really become motivated is when it’s too late to find a solution.”
This gigantic complex – which is also linked to the rumors of the Illuminati and apocalypse predictions linked to Denver Airport – is connected to the US capital Washington by an underground “high speed train”.
Vicino said: “They built them with one of those giant drills which the British and French used to dig the channel tunnel.
“Except these are nuclear powered and they glazed the walls of site into glass so it hardened.
“There were stories in the late 90s and early part of this century were people across the United States, small towns in the mid east, could hear something which sounded like a train beneath their cities, day after day, but no one knew what it was.”
You can believe whatever you want to believe. I honestly don’t care. My intent here is not to make everyone a believer in Planet X. What I DO hope you recognize is that there is PLENTY of facts we’ve been given are NOT adding up. Believe what you want, but you might want to start asking some tough questions. For example, why was NASA recently practicing shooting asteroids coming at the Earth? Think I’m kidding? You can find PLENTY of stories that came out of nowhere on that one. That gets to the heart of NASA’s plan if Nibiru does eventually present a threat.
“In order to further protect the homeland and ensure the safety of it’s citizens in case of nuclear, biological, or chemical attack, a join venture of the NSA, DOD, MiB, DHS, CICs, DFCS, and BK has been created in order to create an expansive tunnel system throughout the south. These tunnels will also serve as conduits for national defense to rapidly move troops, supplies, and armor throughout the nation between strategic topographical locations.”
Before moving on, where I will make a hypothesis for what I think the global elites are preparing for, one more piece of information worth noting, is that whoever is going to be in those underground facilities, had Navy Seals stocking them FULL. Last year, Viral Tater reported the followings quote from a former US Navy SEAL regarding the secret tunnels:
“The tunnels are ALREADY IN PLACE. They are using the 6 MONTHS, which brings us into SEPTEMBER, to clear the places out and configure them for supply depots, communication hubs and pre-processing centers.”
“No government in the world is going to tell you about something life threatening unless they have a solution for you because otherwise it is going to cause social meltdown,” he said. “People that think it is crazy are the ones who have not spent any time doing research. It is easy to say ‘the sky is not blue’ if you have never done any research on what colour the sky really is.”
One of the best ideas suggested through The Lost Ways is the construction of bunkers. These bunkers have the potential to stand the impact created by the most devastating earthquake or missile attack. On the other hand, the readers will be able to learn how to preserve their food in a natural manner. They can also get to know about effective tips, which can be used to preserve the precious water supplies. Then we will be able to use them in the case of a disaster to survive.
First of all, The Lost Ways would convince readers that the natural disasters are inevitable. It will give them an excellent insight about the disasters that could take place in the future. Therefore, it is extremely important for all the human beings to stay prepared to face a disaster, which could happen at any given point of time. In the second part of this book, the readers will be able to discover the lessons learned by humanity when they encountered disasters in the past. Every disaster teaches us a lesson, and it is better to have a clear understanding of these lessons as they can be helpful in the future.
Homesteading is the only (legal) way I know of to become almost completely self-reliant from the food corporations, the utilities companies, the Government and Big Pharma… by harvesting hundreds upon hundreds of dolars of organic food year-round, and collecting thousands of gallons of crystal-clear drinking water for free…
HOW TO START A HIGH-PERFORMANCE HOMESTEAD FROM THE GROUND UP…
To take back your health by growing your own groceries, and making your own food out of basic ingredients, such as cheese, bread and even chocolate to name a few…
Then you could stockpile the excess produce for dark days… (The shelf life of ingredients is longer than that of the resulting foods, anyway…) So while other preppers pay thousands for overpriced, highly-processed “emergency food”, you’ll build your survival stockpile for free…
It’ll be like having your own personal supermarket just a few feet away from you… Though not the kind that sells processed meat full of hormones and steroids, veggies full of pesticides that have absolutely no taste at all, not to mention and all the other junk full of preservatives…
