A huge asteroid is set to cruise by Earth Friday afternoon, making its closest approach to our planet for at least the next two centuries.starting at 4:30 p.m. EDT (2030 GMT).

will come within 3.6 million miles of Earth at 4:59 p.m. EDT (2059 GMT) Friday about 15 times the distance from our planet to the moon.
There's no chance the 1.7-mile-wide 1998 QE2 will hit us, researchers say. That's a good thing, because a strike by such a big space rock would cause catastrophic damage, potentially wiping out our species

It is always good to keep track of what is happening. A warning is good even if it is a false alarm. It is very difficult to know what a space object will do. Thank you for trying to make sense of this information and sharing. From my side ''Please do'nt panic, just pray. We are just helpless against any space object''.

I posted it at 3:02 pm (GMT -7) Yes it was few minutes after the live transmission started not 2 hours after. They are running replay of the live transmission on the web. First, I was not sure if any one on siasat pk will have interest but the commentary was very informative. You can watch the re run on http://events.slooh.com/

right now it is 18:00 mountain time USA and it is 1:00 GMT
