While we were all busy living life within the confinements of our each and every own limitations and spaces yesterday, while we were all busy getting through the day and basically just being ourselves, the world as we know it could have all come to a very serious standstill. But nobody took note, because we were all too busy struggling to be heard and some of us were as always; also being too busy preaching about “akhir zaman”; or basically, the end of the world. But at exactly 15:41 GMT an NEO (Near Earth Object) asteroid massing 600 tones barreled through space just 7, 600 miles above planet Earth at a massive speed of around 35, 000 miles per hour and with a surrounding temperature of over 33, 800 ° Celsius should it enters earth atmosphere. But The All Mighty in His Highest Love, Highest of Understanding and Most Highest of Compassion for us had surely directed the object to; “just fly by” us this time.Dubbed as the “Object 2011 MD”, it took a sharp and unexpected corner into and slightly through our outer gravitational field and descend to just 7,600 miles above the surface right above Falkland, over to Japan and crossed above the South China Sea off the northern coastal of Borneo before disappearing away again into deep oblivion for a few thousand years more. Its actual flight path as had been calculated by NASA was safely away from earth, but for a last minute unknown reason it chose to sway, appearing to be briefly attracted to our gravitational pull and then for reason unbeknownst to us, it exited earth trajectory right above the Antarctica.In fact, Object 2011 MD had reach its lowest point yesterday evening just right above the South Atlantic, where only residents of the Falkland Islands, some in Southern Japan and only the passing mariners right around the area got to see it with their naked eyes. Object 2011 MD had appeared nearer to them than any other communications and TV satellites that are presently in orbit today.According to NASA the hurtling space rock is around 20 meters across and masses something around 630 tons. Although the issue was almost played down by the relevant space authorities and media, if it were to have strike planet earth - which it did not (this time), it would release energy equivalent to a 10,000 tons of TNT exploding. Or roughly the same impact as a small nuclear warhead explosion, just enough to wipe out cities as big as Tokyo or New York in mere minutes if not seconds. If it were to have landed into the sea, it would have created massive tsunami with sea water rushing in-land at over 800 miles per hour and building tsunami walls of over 300 feet in height and also damaging our sub-marine communication fiber-optics, and rendering us with a catastrophic global communication breakdown. An enormous dust cloud from the impact would be ejected into space, affecting air travel, obstructing sunlight and affecting our eco-system for years to come and finally, it would leave us with a 10 KM crater.Imagine what it could all have been yesterday! Surely, all the doomsday prophets and all the noise makers would be history by today and we the left overs, would be busy picking up the pieces again for another tomorrow. Well how’s that for some serious pondering? Well the asteroid trajectory appeared to have undergone some degree of changes yesterday, degrees that’s a lot more closer to earth, and the next time it comes back (if it ever will), I reckon it would be deep impact over planet earth? Scientists estimate that there could be as many as 1000 asteroids larger than 1 mile across that pass relatively close to Earth every year. An impact by any one of these would be an Extinction Level Event (ELE). The world they would be coming back out to would be far different than the one they left.

Asteroid 2011 MD: A Very Close Encounter With Earth Yesterday...
While we were all busy living life within the confinements of our each and every own limitations and spaces yesterday, while we were all busy getting through the day and basically just being ourselves, the world as we know it could have all come to a very serious standstill.
