“ -meteor allegedly heading toward earth”

You mean this one? https://nu.federati.net/url/255524 [ibtimes]

As you probably know, space objects pass through our neighborhood all the time. Remember a few years ago, when one exploded over Russia? That same day, a larger one passed Earth without collision.

The point is, asteroids and comets and such pass near us all the time. Despite movies like “Deep Impact”, we cannot change the course of a large space object, nor break it up into harmless fragments. If you’re going to freak out about it, you may as well get a subscription to receive weekly shipments of #Pampers or #Depends, whichever one fits your body better.
