|Got to have pretty good eyes to see that at 300,000 miles away lol

That is so bl***y scary

I doubt you can see it. Although, here is a cool site which tracks satellites and some comets which can be seen without any fancy gadgets. Especially the Iridium satellites. There is nothing more rewarding then seeing a bright one at night. It starts of as one of those very dim ones, starts glowing untill it's the brightest thing in the sky, then it fades out again. It's awesome ... especially when you show it to a bunch of friends and say it's an UFO.

I recomend it because it's kewl: http://www.heavens-above.com/

It's Jan. 29...are we dead yet?

*laughs at everyone who actually took this seriously.*

You`re from Toronto, you tell me.

Oh, and that`s an awesome site Bonsay, I haven`t gone there in years.

I'm from Mississauga, which is west of Toronto. And I'm on the far west side of it too. Although I was in Etobicoke today (Western part of Toronto) and it looked just fine. Well, as fine as Etobicoke gets.

According to THIS site, the threat level merely began on Jan 29, and we are in danger up until Feb 5th.

This website is not (and was never) about impact.

Hahaha, that site is very entertaining...

For as long as TU24 is near Earth's magnetosphere there is a possibility of disturbance. This website is not (and was never) about impact. If you're wondering why "nothing happened" you're counting your chickens too soon.

I seriously doubt anything will happen, but TU24 is an interesting topic nonetheless.

Edit: Should nothing happen, I think it will be funny to see what happens with that site and many like it.

"This site was never about impact or any possible effects of the nearby passing of TU24, it was about raising awareness of the imminent threat of global destruction posed by celestial objects."

*laughs at people who still take it seriously*

The Internet has a lot of crazy theories. Like Planet X, the Earth is actually hollow, the Earth is flat... lots of people still actually will still defend these theories.

Here's a good one that I just came across today:

actually hollow earth theory sounds promising.

Ill admit it, the earth IS hollow, i keep my stash of peanut butter within the cavity...

I checked out that tu24.org website, their site has been taken down from google, they've re-vamped their homepage and the forums are filled with people saying "Okay...nothing happened..."
