An asteroid supposedly passed between the moon and the Earth today, according to this article on CBS news who sourced it from another article in Yahoo! news. It stated:

The asteroid, called 2010 GA6, is a relatively small space rock about 71 feet (22 meters) wide and was discovered by astronomers with the Catalina Sky Survey in Tucson, Az. The space rock will fly within the orbit of the moon when it passes Earth Thursday at 7:06 p.m. EDT (2306 GMT), but NASA astronomers said not to worry…the planet is safe.

Apparently, these kinds of “fly-bys” happen more often than we think, in fact, the last one was just last January.

Vanity Fair called it “pure luck” that the world didn’t end today.

This makes sense as, actually, scientists estimate that the Earth most likely won’t be destroyed until at least 2014, when an asteroid that “could have the effect of 20 million Hiroshima atomic bombs” will approach (and, you know, maybe hit!) the planet.

With all the earthquakes and wars and civil unrest all over the world, plus the weather going haywire and the Global Warming, of course we have to ask, “Is this it? Is the end really coming?”

What if it is? How are you going to live your life knowing the end is near?

If the world stopped spinning
If the end was beginning
Would you even notice if i wasn’t there?
If the world stopped spinning around
