The Asteroid is 2.9 miles long and 1.5 miles wide and was caught on video (Animated GIF here) by a team of educators. NASA also has a video capture." (This is the same asteroid recently promised.)

People should also check out the local map for today, showing Toutatis right next to the planet.

I think at least the EAS was working on some kind of detection/deflection scheme but I don't know how that's going.

Actually I'm waiting for the news of the suicides in Beverly Hills of kkol-aid drinking morons trying to get to the mother ship hidden behind the asteroid.

It's like a horse fly, but much, much, much bigger. And it hurts even worse if bites you.
