Well now there is a rumor going around that a massive asteroid will pass by Earth on July Third and this could be very significant if the rumor is true. Yet who knows as we keep getting rumors of near Earth objects flying by our Planet and many turn out to be totally false.

Nevertheless that is significantly too close for comfort and it could cause problems for Earthlings. How big is massive you ask? Well it is pretty big, about a half mile in diameter and folks that is very large. Now they say that; There is no need for concern or worry about any collision. But if you ask me this is way too close for comfort indeed. If you live on the West Coast you should be able to see it with a telescope, as it streaks by early Monday Morning. Luckily we have a special research center, which can see these things, and act as an early warning system as well.

This large space rock, asteroid was discovered by The Lincoln Laboratory Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR). An asteroid hitting the Earth and causing the demise of human kind is often discussed by Sci Fi writers and scientists, and now be a good chance for us to see one up close and personal as it whizzes by. Perhaps you will consider all the ramifications of this in 2006.
