[kj] ..... asteroid

[sade1]

I wonder if that kind of event affects the tides and ships, or wireless 
telecommunications, GPS systems, etc.?

Two asteroids will pass within the moon's distance from Earth on Wednesday, 
Sept. 8. 


The Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Ariz., discovered both objects on Sunday, 
Sept. 5. The Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Mass., reviewed the observations 
and determined the preliminary orbits. The center's personnel concluded both 
objects would pass within the distance of the moon to Earth, approximately 
240,000 miles. The asteroids should be visible with moderate-sized amateur 
telescopes. 


Neither asteroid will hit Earth. Asteroid 2010 RX30 is estimated to be 
approximately 32 to 65 feet in size and will pass within approximately 154,000 
miles of Earth at 5:51 a.m. EDT Wednesday. The second object, 2010 RF12, 
estimated to be 20 to 46 feet in size, will pass within approximately 49,000 
miles at 5:12 p.m. EDT.
