Slouching Towards Oblivion

It's not just everything in Australia - everything in the whole fucking universe is trying to kill us.



Asteroid 3122 Florence will safely pass by our planet on September 1, 2017 at over 18 times the Earth-moon distance. The asteroid will not be visible to the unaided eye. It will, however, become visible in small amateur telescopes by late August, in the course of what will become the closest encounter to Earth by this asteroid since 1890.

It won’t come this close again until after the year 2500.
