NASA scientists will be tracking asteroid 2005 YU55 with antennas of the agency’s Deep Space Network at Goldstone, Calif., as the space rock safely flies past Earth slightly closer than the moon’s orbit on Nov. 8. Scientists are treating the flyby of the 1,300-foot-wide (400-meter) asteroid as a science target of opportunity – allowing instruments on “spacecraft Earth” to scan it during the close pass.
Tracking of the aircraft carrier-sized asteroid will begin at 9:30 a.m. local time (PDT) on Nov. 4, using the massive 70-meter (230-foot) Deep Space Network antenna, and last for about two hours. The asteroid will continue to be tracked by Goldstone for at least four hours each day from Nov. 6 through Nov. 10. Radar observations from the Arecibo Planetary Radar Facility in Puerto Rico will begin on Nov. 8, the same day the asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth at 3:28 p.m. PST.
The trajectory of asteroid 2005 YU55 is well understood. At the point of closest approach, it will be no closer than 201,700 miles (324,600 kilometers) or 0.85 the distance from the moon to Earth. The gravitational influence of the asteroid will have no detectable effect on anything here on Earth, including our planet’s tides or tectonic plates. Although 2005 YU55 is in an orbit that regularly brings it to the vicinity of Earth (and Venus and Mars), the 2011 encounter with Earth is the closest this space rock has come for at least the last 200 years.

Luke 21:25
There will be signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars. On the Earth, Nations will be in anguish and perplexity
at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
The time will come soon when all on Earth will look to the Heavens above.
Lord i Pray that we stay One Nation Under GOD, and United that all
should be Free to read from the Bible the word of our Lord.
The wicked will not stop till it is to late for them all if only they
would read the Bible and get to know Jesus and want to go to Heaven Not Hell.
All that give their heart to the Lord and Read The Bible
and tell his Word to others will live forever. In Heaven
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy GOD, thou shalt find him,
if thou seek him with all thy Heart and with all thy Soul.
May our Lord Jesus Christ and GOD the Father that is in Heaven,
Guide and Watch over us.
In this time of TRIBULATION, Strengthen your Faith, and encourage
all to Pray for their Souls. The Strong in the Word of our Lord will Now
Help the World and be the disciples of our Lord’s Word.
Through out History Many have tried to wipe Jesus and the good from our history books.
Read the Bible Jesus will Bless you more then i can.
United We Will Always Stand That
In GOD We Trust
True Patriots
The Lord’s Little Helper

2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief,
in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with
intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
