"We've suddenly encountered a dense clustering of near Earth asteroids, getting as close as 0.1 lunar distances (38,440 km). This is a shared jet stream which on cosmic scales allows for elastic-free collisions and condensation. It's quite normal, and these would burn up in our atmosphere"

That we know of…
Yikes
Science. Well presented. Explained. No drama or hyperbole.
Their aim’s getting better
I mean, aside from all the shit that’s happening today in the world i don’t think an asteroid impact would be appreciated
it can always get worse, right?
Cone on, planet-killer, waiting on ya 🙏
Is it the fact we have better tools to spot them, and this has always been the case?
One of those asteroid orbits is obviously very different, and it’s possible that all three are. In all my years of doing and teaching astronomy, I’ve never seen the phrase “shared jet stream” applied to asteroids, because it’s a bad way to describe asteroid motion.
Wow quite close…
They could have organised that one better. I guess there’s always next time.

The universe is such a tease
Like someone really wants to hit us.
I would be like: damn, so close.
We need to pray harder
KSP ahh situation
How come our gravity didn’t effect their trajectory? Not close enough?
Seems like were passing through a hot spot again. All the billionaires have their bunkers built. Be prepared
Looking like the astros pitching staff.
All of them very small apparently. They would’ve burned in the atmosphere.
Marco is at it again eh? I saw a documentary where his aim gets much better though.
