If it's below cloud level I'll see it

I did not realise asteroids were so wet and could cause such a wind , it's wild out there !

I'm working on a dedicated-thread on this topic - but until I have time to finish it - here's quick note:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) Minor Planet Center offers a new service: They'll send you a daily email on Earth-Crosser asteroids coming by to pay us a visit. Take a look if you like:

http://minorplanetcenter.net/daily-minor-planet

And a subscription is free - naturally. I enjoy my daily minor panic!
