huge asteroid on its way.
will pass between our planet and our moon later today.

if the sky is clear then binoculars will be sufficient to see it.

It’s 300 feet wide and scientists think, ‘it probably won’t hit Earth’!

If it hit Manchester city centre it would probably wipe out most of the North West, Yorkshire and North Wales.

It’s between 120 and 270 feet in diameter and would destroy Manchester City centre if it hit but nothing else.

They wouldn't tell us anyway, imagine the panic if they said it was definitely going to hit?

I'm currently in Morocco and I don't think I've ever seen the moon and Venus as bright as they were here last night

I'm simply in love with Elon Musk's satellites. What could be more wonderful?
