Just as everything was going well for me I just heard that we have 73 hours until an asteroid comes in contact with earth. Its on Sunday Night tonight.

Wait here's the link. http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2011/s3356948.htm

i dont think its ment to hit mate, just very close lol, what night will we be able to see it?

Wednesday, hopefully it's on the other side of the world at the time, lol, if I see it I think I might have a little panick attack if I see a 400 meter wide asteroi right above me.

its only 400 meters not that big just 4 footy feilds big u have to be unlucky to get hit

An asteroid of that size could easily wipe earth out.

But you're forgetting about our gravitational pull, influencing the path. Here's a good chart showing the gravity wells of Solar System

Clean undies and hanky for Wednesday it is .....

My significant other wanted me to do some chores around the house. Don't suppose I will bother now.

Think we will all still be here to do the chores the day after the event. And if the experts have got it wrong there is no point worrying because it will all be over red rover.
